Too many people, even here on Mastodon, seem to be in denial about how bad things are likely to get on our current path. I suppose I can understand how they might wish the situation was different, and perhaps some of them aren't psychologically or emotionally ready to handle an honest look at the dire future we face, so they simply avoid it.

But I worry that almost everyone will be unprepared for the collapse of our fragile modern society when it comes.

Stability with only regional conflict has been the enforced rule for a long time, but there are pressures that have been building that whole time.

People do the "it can't happen here" which allows them to not really think too hard about what "it" is.

"It" is much worse than any of us in North America (aside from veterans) are capable of understanding.

@breadandcircuses it’s OK humans are going to go extinct from Covid before we completely destroy the planet.
