You know, everyone acts like an economic collapse would create an apocalypse world and just be over. Technology doesn’t just go away. Infrastructure doesn’t just go away. We’re looking at a potential world conflict that sees the death and birth of multiple global powers. Think Rome but with nukes and shit. Yeah it’s bad in the post nuclear world. We can’t predict how bad it will actually be especially with climate shit creeping up but the idea that new governments won’t pop up is silly. Really it’s kind of hopeful in a way.
Not very hopeful if you have diseases easily managed in a global society, like epilepsy, but for which you are effectively dead if global medicine production stops.
With respect. I didn’t say I would be safe. It is ridiculous to think that technology and infrastructure would just vanish. It’s more realistic to think some military force would take control of it and that there could be conflict for those fixed resources. Empty store shelves? Sure.
A lack of basic modern amenities? Maybe short term.
I would be more concerned about being able to prove valuable enough to access resources in this future fiction.
That said. We aren’t going to the dark ages. We’re going into global instability. It’s not Mad Max bro, it’s Children of Man.
It still sucks but it’s kinda dull too. People always approach these things with some strange romanticism.

Welcome to the shifting of hegemony

Nuclear winter sure is one of the ways to combat global warming.
Yeah for sure. Personally, I’m hoping Yellowstone pops. Give me carcinogenic sludge over radioactive fallout any day.
But the sad thing is Yellowstone won’t pop.
Who cares of global warming when everyone is dead /s
We are talking billions dead. A new dark age. A total collapse of global civilization. No food, no water, no electricity.
Go out this weekend with nothing but a tent and live in the forest. That’s what you’re about to experience.
Ain’t no “new government” gonna spring up around you bro. Refugee camps have better conditions than where we’re headed.
And this time without petroleum as a resource.

Millions of Americans are doing that right now (hunting season is upon us, which won’t be a thing is there is no government)
