    You know, everyone acts like an economic collapse would create an apocalypse world and just be over. Technology doesn’t just go away. Infrastructure doesn’t just go away. We’re looking at a potential world conflict that sees the death and birth of multiple global powers. Think Rome but with nukes and shit. Yeah it’s bad in the post nuclear world. We can’t predict how bad it will actually be especially with climate shit creeping up but the idea that new governments won’t pop up is silly. Really it’s kind of hopeful in a way.

    Welcome to the shifting of hegemony

      Not very hopeful if you have diseases easily managed in a global society, like epilepsy, but for which you are effectively dead if global medicine production stops.

      We are talking billions dead. A new dark age. A total collapse of global civilization. No food, no water, no electricity.

      Go out this weekend with nothing but a tent and live in the forest. That’s what you’re about to experience.

      Ain’t no “new government” gonna spring up around you bro. Refugee camps have better conditions than where we’re headed.
