I think the comparison to older empires are nonsense because their society wasn't nearly as complex as ours. They didn't have population explosion, no on-demand infrastructure, they weren't dependent on oil. The higher you go, the harder you'll crash.

I agree that we're on the early stages of collapse though.

Just look at all the major issues that came up in the last 30 years, none of that shit is normal, none of that shit came close to being solved and problems are only increasing over time.

In case you're wondering what specifically I mean: Basically anything: From political radicalization, to people getting more fatter, to environmental issues. Life appears to get more comfier, but comfiness isn't cheap. I think poorer countries will have it easier in the future, since there's not that much infrastructure established that can collapse.

Political radicalism has always been a thing. And while yes our society is more complex is it really dissimiliar to older empires in collapse?

>Political radicalism has always been a thing

Yes, but its increasing noticeably

>is it really dissimiliar to older empires in collapse?

No, the basic process is is the same, its only that it will probably way harder.

Come to think of it, I may have to take back my words.

This. The governments control every aspect of society, you can't even arm yourself anymore. The problem of barbarians or some shit like that won't work in our times.

I have to hrd disagree with this. Theres less political radicalsim now than when i was a teenager and a LOT less than the 70's, 80's. If political radialsm is so bad where re all the armed urban gurella groups? Why no Years of Lead?

People nowadays tend to exaggerate any little disagreement. A protest happened?

>OMG its WW3!

Some politician said something mean about whitey/brownskin/women?

>OMG! Supremacist!

People often like to blame the left/liberals but the right seems to be sado-masochistic when it comes to outrage.

Nobody wants to hear about the newborn babies that arrived today.

They all care about who died.

Nobody cares about the fights that were quickly dissolved. They wanna hear about who was carted away downtown.

All these disgruntled woke bois wanna wish death from above on their NPC communities, wishing for an industrial reset back to ruralism without accounting their own chances of survival.

Most of you here wouldn't last a while back in the "good ol' days." You'd be ostracized and ran out of town. Modern society at least lets you live in isolation.

>When the climate goes to shit those city states will become domed cities like arcologies, and eventually they will build oneill cylinders out in space.

You watch too many movies. If we had elites worth their salt they would have put serious measures in place decades ago. Seriously curbing overpopulation for example. Instead they kicked the can down the road, believing in human ingenuity to fix it somehow.

We are now all in the same boat and if we witness a true disruption of our lifestyle, they will very much feel it too. I mean just look at the supposed prepper millionaires. The best they can come up with is land and bunkers in New Zealand lel.

You mean armed urban nutella groups?

Sure he is right. You have to be very ignorant to not acknowledge it. They say that you should collapse now to avoid the rush and I feel my personal life crumbling faster and faster. So I'm making progress.

WTI oil price is below zero. Blood on the streets, guys
