Reply to My predictions for the next 30 years by z0rm
So where in your predictions do you take into account the impending financial collapse in the global economy, the ongoing proxy war, and the climate catastrophes also well documented to be on their way once the tipping points are tipped?
Both the war and climate issues like drought and heatwaves are going to cause widespread famine and mass migrations in the next few years.
How does society continue in these scenarios when supply chains break?
Sorry this just looks like a xmas wish list that doesn't take into account any real world variables.

Reply to The Great People Shortage is coming — and it's going to cause global economic chaos | Researchers predict that the world's population will decline in the next 40 years due to declining birth rates — and it will cause a massive shortage of workers. by Shelfrock77
Laughable to think human society will be about in 40 years time. It aint the lack of fucking and babymaking that will get us, it's the overpopulation and climate catastrophes.
They put this shit out to allude to the fact everything will still be fine and dandy in decades to come. Spoiler alert: >!It won't!<

Reply to Are there others who lurk on both r/solarpunk and r/collapse? How do you handle the contrast? by gangstasadvocate
I struggle with people in denial. Snorting hopium for breakfast lunch and dinner they and (more likely) their ego's don't seem to be able to cope with cold facts, cannot entertain holistic wide view analysis, and rational thinking goes out the window in favour of if's/but's and dreams. I expect more people will come around slowly as the world regresses more and more each day. A disaster here, a collapse there, say goodbye to ol' reliable: global supply chain.
I'd argue that /r/collapse is more realistic and the others are more optimistic. Not saying one sub is better than the other. But collapse doesn't sugar coat or greenwash as much.
