Despite the possibility of avoiding collapse, Kemp remains pessimistic about our prospects. “I think it’s unlikely,” he says. “We’re dealing with a 5,000-year process that is going to be incredibly difficult to reverse, as we have increasing levels of inequality and of elite capture of our politics.

Okay looking further into the article makes me retract caring about the part I quoted. I agree that we’re heading for the societal collapse stated there. The American empire is going to fall and I’m optimistic about that. Because, like Kemp says, that often improves the lives of the ordinary citizen.

We don’t need to go anywhere, we just need to take care of each other
