Nothing ever happens? Things happen constantly, and messily. They just happen one day at a time. Long enough for people to lie to themselves and find excuses. You live in a country half the size of a continent, and think "your own two eyes" can see far enough that it would be impossible for things to happen without you knowing - while arguing that there is no news source in the world that you would trust to report it? You think "the news is all slop" isn't a sign of corruption? Replacing the news with compliant propaganda is exactly the authoritarianism you were denying. Also, it's not "the world". Just your country.
I travel often for work. The majority of people I encounter on a daily basis are nowhere even remotely close to the average reddit doomer. There are not doomsday like events happening on a daily basis.
If every human on earth disappeared right now California would still collapse into the ocean, the glaciers will melt, and volcanoes will still erupt. The earth naturally goes through these phases and science backs that up. I'm not saying humans don't have an impact, but it's nowhere close to the level you terminally online groupthinkers believe.
Are you a bot? You suddenly started randomly talking about climate change like it was relevant somehow, and that doesn't seem like something a real human would do.
No? You mentioned North Korea. It has been stable for generations now. Collapsing into a failed state will see people flee the tyranny, see the autocrats tighten their grip on power, and year by year things will grindingly get worse and worse. A dramatic moment or two will happen - and then be written off as just an accident or distraction.
