Takes the sting out of being poor though.
QuoteFar as the rest of the collapse blogosphere goes, we've discussed that here and for the most part the old websites are gone or they've become repetitive in their content. I try to keep things fressh by looking at the latest trends like the falling birthrate and the gender dysphoria that seems to be on the increase. There's always some new manifestation of collapse popping up, so you don't have to stay glued to one concept and beat it to death, as some trolls like to do. lol.

Yeah, collapse is a sum greater than its interconnected parts. I see it (the phenomenon itself) as a critique of the capital system. Not just capitalism but the whole thing, the rule of alienated wealth over society for millennia all leading to this glittering nightmare; unless we 'somehow' manage to transform the whole thing, like the metabolism of it not just the structure, into one of substantive equality.
I guess a lot of people can't deal with the interconnected aspect especially related to collapse. They want a linear story with one ending which is probably less depressing if you can't/refuse to see the plot holes. I don't know. But hey been nice chatting with y'all. I'll try to post when I can. Have a good one.
