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

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

Easy. Think this, believe this, never do anything about it. Let's see how you grow to handle it.

I watch the Watchmen.

See, by posting this, I'm on the watchlist too. So the watchlist is watching the watchmen watching the watchlist watching the watchmen ad infinitum. If you're asking "watch the fuck?", to explain without using the word watch, I've engaged an infinite mobius surveillance loop.

Side note, by making it to the bottom of this comment, you've all done Dr. Seuss proud.

I wouldn't...reeks of fed infiltrates. Plus no point since it's too far gone, read Breaking Together by Jem Bendell instead.

I generally imagine myself standing on trial with the argument of self defense. While it's what I would argue in a hypothetical criminal trial, the outcome is enough of a deterrent

Does that mean I'm morally obligated to burn that lady's shirt?

This will definitely get me on a watchlist

You don't think so? I never say crazy things on the Internet even in jest because I think the FBI will put me on a terror watch list. You know there's 100% got to be a right wing nut job terror watch list so there's already precedent.

Its less of a 'list' and more of a 'heirachical matrix' that everyone is on.
