This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Is the goal of this writer to be condescending and annoy their readers?

I don't perceive him that way, though he tends to deal with absolute statements which are not always warranted. In general it's an attempt to publicize while others think it's hopeless . If the style annoys you, try Tim Murphy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9js5291m
