Collapse is more like bits and pieces flaking off until no core structure remains

it’s like russia’s deterioration after the fall of the USSR. millions dying by drinking to death and suicide as their lives crumble, but there are still rich people and some middle class people going to work every day etc etc.

if russia can go on like that for 30 years already, the US can go on like that for at least as long. :doomjak: i really can’t take it anymore.

Keep in mind that this time it’s capitalism collapsing not socialism, so the chances for things to get better are much higher.

We all know what capitalism in decay leads to though.

well, that’s one way that can go. But it can also go the way of Nazi Germany.

Good chance it won’t be replaced by a better system, just the same but worse and more broken

Yeah, sadly I think that’s what we’re headed for in USA/Canada. Not some kind of revolution or anything, just 30 more years of shit deteriorating.
