There is no wide scale worldwide crop die off happening that is outside of what is typical. We’re very far from agricultural collapse. If you look at crop yield charts per year, the increase still outpaces population increase and there isn’t really a significant slowing trend in recent years. Climate change isn’t a sudden end of the world scenario, it’s an “everything gets progressively shittier sporadically with the weakest being seriously damaged first” scenario.

Hurricane Maria did damage to PR that will never be repaired, and infrastructure will continue to collapse there. Flint and the thousand other towns with fucked up lead filled water will never fully be fixed. Bridges will be closed (or collapse) and not be rebuilt. Wildfire will continue to wipe out entire towns and the government will make no attempt to help anyone rebuild or relocate.

These things don’t have to do with climate change, especially the Flint thing. That’s just because the US government can’t be arsed to fix shit.

“In general, fascism can best be understood as bringing the methods of imperial rule in the colonies into the metropole. In the colonies, genocide has been the rule, not the exception, of imperial rule. ‘Democracy’ is only for a select few of settlers; dictatorship and slave labor applies to the indigenous and other colonized people.”

The way I’ve heard it put is, “Societal collapse won’t look like Mad Max. It will look like Children Of Men.”

Sad and slow. The only way to stay sane is to just not think about it.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
