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.

It sounds like scenario from Mad Max, today we blame and hunt others for the wildfires, tomorrow we will fight each other for water and food

This is the best summary I could come up with:


"The Greek government and media have been nurturing vigilante-style 'migrant hunters' since 2020, allowing them to commit racist crimes with complete impunity," says Alarm Phone, an NGO that helps refugees in need of rescue at sea.

In recent days, more and more videos encouraging the hunting of migrants have been published on social media, despite measures taken by the Greek judiciary to stop these actions.

Despite this, the Greek Supreme Court has ordered an investigation to find out more about the "alarming phenomena of violence" against migrants and whether there was an "organised plan" to provoke the fire, although authorities have suggested it was caused by lightning.

The latest controversy followed comments by Paraschos Christou Papadakis, a member of the Greek parliament for the ultra nationalist Solution party, who accused the migrants of "obstructing the work of the fire brigade" and starting wildfires.

"Although it was confirmed that the large wildfires raging in Evros have been started by a lightning strike, this has not stopped the racist and dangerous narratives being spread around the country," Adriana Tidona, Amnesty International's spokesperson, told Euronews.

In a post on his social media, the Greek Solution MP described the situation as a "war" and called on people to organise raids to "arrest illegal migrants in the same way as in March 2020″.

I wonder if they'll blame migrants for the floods that followed the wild fires immediately
