  Because they’re the ones orchestrating it.

    I came here to say this. They’re doing everything they can to bring it on.

    He will walk there with a private army to keep the plebs at bay.

      What protects him from his private army? Oh! That’s right, a functioning society.

      Oh well.

  Collapse will definitely come. Our way of living on this planet is not sustainable, especially now where everyone who would have the power/influence to change things does literally and openly the opposite (e.g. USA turning their back on climate friendly research/technologies for example). So I think it’s kind of over, I’m kind of an optimist but time is simply running out, we had the Paris agreement and all that jazz like 10 years ago and almost nothing really changed (the only time something changed for the positive was during Covic pandemic but that was involuntarily!), in fact it’s now probably worse than it was back then, so it’s kind of over. Sure you can and should individually continue fighting for it because every small improvement will at least delay the collapse a bit which is useful, but I’m not going to naively believe that we will be able to counteract this anymore. It’s too little, too late. And that’s not even taking into account the possibility of a WW3. And rich/powerful people probably know this as well that the geological and political situations become increasingly unstable which is why they are building luxury bunkers. I would build one too, if I had the spare change.

  From the comfort of current civilized society and its social support, they think they have it all planned out.

  Because collapse is coming.

  There’s a book called “The Forge of God” by Greg Bear, and in it,

  spoiler

  the Earth is going to be destroyed by killer, self-replicating probes, and they’ve set the event that’s going to cause the end in motion, and it’s basically on a timer at the center of the Earth, and everyone is AWARE of it, but there’s absolutely nothing anybody can do. But it sets up this eerie part of the book where the world is completely screwed, but people are still alive and everything SEEMS normal, and they have to go about their lives. But it’s over, everyone knows it, and everyone is just kind of going around with this oppressive elephant in the room. That’s now.

  So many of them are fleeing to private islands that it feels like the easy way to eventually fix everything will be to get a boat and island hop like a Mario brother.
