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.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

Did you read the article? This isn’t about social issues but about economics and energy production. The title is just a hook.

Actually not really.

When looking at the whole of human history, there's a brief window where the people running shit were rich white men.

If you're timeframe is just America, we'll, that's a ridiculously small timeframe really.
