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.

MODERATORS
The point of neoliberalism is to increase freedom for rich people. Money is power. Money is even more power the more stuff is commodified and for sale; in neoliberalism, everything should be for sale. Which means that the rich can do anything, buy anything, fulfill any fantasy that the market can offer - and the market exists to offer more and more.
Would've been better for the country if all the anti-masker and anti-vaxxer fucktards had died. (Or, do die).
