>>20531520If you look at anything besides climate collapse it's sort of hard to follow, and that's basically what collapse means.
The USA owes so much money that it's beyond most people's comprehension what it would look like actually getting it all paid back in a 10 year timescale. It would look like war reparations if we were being serious.
Beyond debt, it turns into "how easily influenced by social media are you?"
This implies that you have a support system, ie the society you exist as part of values you, how much? You have friends and family, as long as you're not a neurotic parasocial thing, you might never actually run into something that, unless you're deep in the fuck around and find out territory, is the result of collapse of social hierarchies / financial institutions / unchecked poverty or public health failure.
2040 -> onwards might have these doomsday weather events periodically, but it also might be something that having ideal real estate and sane planning for an electrical grid really offsets.
Basically modern living got an accelerationist agenda lined up for itself. If you don't have really entrenched supply lines for your own personal support system you might get super displaced.
I wouldn't expect martial law decision making from public officials in the majority of english speaking countries.
