a friend of mine was talking about how things are going to collapse as if there will be some flash point where everything just burns down. And i told them no that's not going to be the case. Things will just continue to get worse. They told me that's a bleak perspective.

Many people live in treatworld, so they get all their notions of history and politics from entertainment

"everything burns down" is a bit hyperbolic, but national supply chains will either get fixed/replaced in a matter of days/weeks, or they didn't really matter, or they'll start to fall like dominos and then suddenly if it doesn't exist within 25 miles of your home you better accept it or packup and move.
