I imagine that it is the same universe as Children of Men. I heard the same theory, the rest of the world is normal, Britain just decided to be that way and become even more of a dysfunctional shithole.

They finally completely gutted the NHS and that's why the plot is the way it is.

There was nothing wrong with anyone biologically, it was just a hyper South Korean style population collapse would be a hilarious twist.

Also why it makes sense in that case that the woman that is pregnant is an immigrant from ME or Africa I guess

Australia would be 100x better if it were inhabited by a lot of leather daddies

The tragedy faces New Zealand is that as soon as Australia is rendered uninhabitable by climate change, millions of Aussies who previously advocated for concentration camps for "boat people" will migrate over and set up shop like nothing ever happened.

There will be a lot of fighting over who gets to stay in NZ, and a lot of killing of nonwhites, because that is what they mean by “boat people”.

And white people can’t be immigrants, only expats.

Thought we were gearing up for that during the COVID lockdowns, New Zealand looks like the bunker nation for when the billionaires' home countries collapse.

Australians finding out the rest of the world didn't turn into petrofeudalism: "oh naorr"

it would happen within two weeks of some rich dipshit accidentally dropping anchor in the wrong place and severing the pacific undersea cables

Just your typical Anglo brain. I am convinced that the entirety of Lord of the Flies takes place over the span of about an hour and a half.

Funny enough in the event LotF is based on the kids actually basically reinvented primitive communism and were mostly fine until they were rescued.

Fucken Choina, they're comin' for our dimmies.

Look, the loss in the 2nd Emu war was culturally scarring, and when we found out they were fleeing the Cassowary advance...

That was literally the Australian government explanation for the 2020 bushfires

The apocalypse was the excuse to normalize this, new headcanon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

this is my assumption for basically all post-apocalypse and/or dystopia fiction. Unless you specify what's going on the rest of the world, I'm just gonna assume everywhere else is fine.
