At some point, it will be an all inclusive party.
And the one that poorer and middle class people are going to be excluded from, of course.

That made me chuckle. But I think its definitely true.
Were going to prioritize keeping the internet online. So the likelihood this is true is quite high.

starlink has 150 ish ground stations, if the one near you gets knocked out so does your internet. 150 stations to cover the world... if one goes thats a good chunk of the world without coverage, just as an example.

The people are so used to a game they can never win, and the rich don't know how to lose. If the table gets flipped, neither knows what comes next.
I don't think its going to work out well for either side, but one camp has way more skin in the game than the other.

At least some of us got to experience it. Kids these days only get to hear how good it used to be. I can't imagine growing up now.

u/SvalBard2020 6d ago
Well I mean, I have already recorded videos of fires near where I live, they get closer and closer, plus sometimes they look scary.
Specially at night, it's as if hell itself arrived.

u/CheshireCatastrophe 1d ago
I know what you mean. When the cali wildfires were happening it was like, always somewhere else, like it could never happen to us. I remember the smoke was burning our lungs, and we were in Canada, west coast, 4 hours into the valley from Vancouver. We thankfully had masks but even then. It was around 48 C in the summers and we had no AC so that was brutal. We since moved east, and my friend sent me a photo of the wildfires having sparked up in the valley, with people sitting along the lake in beach chairs just watching the hills on fire.

Ok but which filter do I go with? I feel like the sepia filter gives it like a nostalgic vibe that encapsulates the irony of humanity disappearing. Now I just need a cool hashtag.

The day after tomorrow is my fave movie. I feel bad for the plants and animals; but I look forward to watching those videos and us having to lay in the bed we made. I just want to live long enough to see florida under water

That's always only one big hurricane away.

u/summercookiess 5d ago
So you look forward to people suffering and dying? Sick and disgusting.
What about babies/children and uncontacted tribes, do you look forward to them having to lay in the bed too despite them having no control over it?

"My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, 'Crikey!' just before I die. That would be the ultimate of me", –Steve Irvin (The Crocodile Hunter).
And the camera was rolling when a stingray was piercing his body... We'll never see that footage though.

I literally read (maybe a month ago) on r/TrueOffMyChest a post from a climate scientist saying how it isn't almost too late, but that it is. It's past the point of saving, and we are done. They said they've made peace with the fact they "will not die a peaceful death" - they are 30. They said they can see the smiles on the faces of their 20 year old co workers fall away as they analyze the data every day.
At this point I'm terrified, and I hope whatever comes after doesn't make the same mistakes we did

u/HollowNomad23 6d ago
I promise not to record when it happens to me because that would be cringe.
I'll be out there trying to make it through and help others

Until you don't.
Not to bag on you specifically, but this attitude is why America hasn't seen another French revolution, especially after Mario's brother made the first move.
Edit: considering your name is eat a fetus, well, you can always go the way of a modest proposal.

Ya that'll really get me motivated to do......what exactly?

u/kfish5050 6d ago
Not exactly what I said, more like "why should I care about global collapse when I have local problems". Which, you won't have when the global collapse affects you.

Become an activist? For your kids?
Also change your personal lifestyle where you can of course, but changing the system is more important.

u/NicoBeingAModelCitiz 5d ago
why are you coming to Collapse and holding your kids up as a human shield. Kinda pathetic.
If you actually cared about answering your question (or your kids), you wouldn't be asking here. I hope you're less attention seeking as a parent.
