QuoteIf however you mean people who really understand Collapse, what underlies it inside our current culture and the mechanics of how all the different manifestations fit together the number is far smaller.
The number is indeed small. Jared Diamond * has some exposure. For the purposes of argument I'll guess 17 people in a thousand have heard of JD. Of those 17 are any of them doomers? No they are not. You need four times 17 or 68 people on average who have heard of Jared Diamond to find a doomer.
The pool of people needed to find a doomer is now at 4000. It is going to take even more than that who will understand that the deep state actively suppresses doomerism, and that doom is baked in the cake even if more become aware of it, because of Silent American Censorship ** .

The population of Canada and the US combined is about 377,000,000. This number divided by 4000 gives:
94,250
Less than my compromise number by 750 people and I did not choose 17 and 4 to make the numbers work out. I picked them because I think they are reasonable guesses. This suggests the number of people who know about active Homeland Security Censorship are limited to those who actually experience it, and not all of them.
* Do all doomers know about Jared? No, but I assume most do.
