    Sometimes people here are just too eager for societal collapse.

    I like having running water, hot and cold, safe and clean enough to drink it.

    I like having a toilet that I just flush my crap away.

    These will no longer be available during a societal collapse.

      When people are at the point where they are literally dying because they can’t afford to live, you have to say there’s not much else to lose.

      The powerful just try and keep that balance of having enough people fall into poverty to keep everyone else in line, and avoiding having too many people in poverty so that we don’t all eat them like we’re supposed to.

      Have you looked at the current political climate? That’s under threat as-is, might as well go down swinging

    Do you know what happens when societal structure collapses?

    People with power and wealth accumulate more power and wealth.

    People with the means and willingness to do violence acquire power and wealth from the vulnerable.

    People without power, wealth and the means to do violence die.

        People who never faced strife support accelerationism, let’s see how you like it when you not only get beaten by the people above you but also beside you

      Corporations are not the provayers of societal structure. People can be good people with no one forcing violence upon them. What are they going to do, pay them with their worthless money?

      You’re the one stopping progress.

      Basic necessities, like groceries, could be bought, I call out utilities because IME in most places it takes at least 2 months of missed payments before they can shut off utilities

      IME you need to miss at least 2 payments before they shut off utilities, everyone not paying just 1 would be very very bad (for them lol).

        Ok… so the company that provides the infrastructure for you to get electricity and heat finds it no longer financially viable to operate and shuts down… What’s the plan then?
