A society is always about 3 days of hunger away from a violent revolution. Start your clocks.

    Some will as much as they can. This will then be used as evidence that government public support programs aren’t needed.

      But they are, local and community support programs dont have the resources to do it on their own. So many people will go hungry.

        It will actually break many of them. When a lot of GoFundMe are now for buying groceries, as well as credit cards being used for the same, this can’t last.

          You’re right to say that the current trajectory is unsustainable. The idea that we are all on our own in an indifferent society will also not last if the dominoes keep falling in the way they are.

          People will step up and build something sustainable instead of continuing to empower and feed the rich in their pursuit to dominate every aspect of our lives.

      Communities building up and connecting is exactly how this sort of propaganda dissolves.

          Regardless of what means you advocate for to assist in changing society, communities need to build up for change to rest on a solid foundation.

              I’d reckon our society is already in ashes, at least here in the US. We’ve let our country be destroyed while also allowing ourselves to be collectively trained to believe we are helpless to effect any and all change.
