RE: Slow Collapse
a slow collapse is the more logical event or events and most people wont see it coming until its too late.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

RE: Slow Collapse
The biggest threat on this planet is overpopulation. The average Woman in Africa has 6 children. Considering the growth of the deserts in Africa, the question is who and how should we feed all of them. In 1970 a half billion people lived in Africa. Now there are about 1.5 billion people living there. Of course they all are human and have the same right to live, but reality is that more will migrate to other countries to survive.
Most of Asia is no better off, especially India. India' s population will soon exceed China's. It is necessary to talk more about birth control and population growth in the developing world. The major industrial nations are shying away from this discussion, because their birth rates are declining, populations are aging, and there is a shortage of skilled labor in the indusrialized countries. The topic of population control in the developing world is unpleasant so people don't want to hear it. However, it can be mitigated somewhat by education, because well-educated people enjoy a better quality of life and have fewer children.
There is much discussions about climate change and what the industrialized countries can do tom mitigate against it. In a Global scope the EU, UK, Canada, Japan and Russia cannot accomplish enough to overcome the emissions produced by China alone, 29% of the world total! The EU combined produces about 10% of Global CO2 emissions, the USA 14%. Whatever we will do, the growth of the Global population generate more CO2 emissions than the industrialized world could ever save.
Climate change cannot be mitigated without getting the Global growth of the population under control.
Conflict over key resources are just ahead of us. The Greenies and Joe Biden want to get rid of internal combustion engines, but most of the world resources for rare earth elements needed for Li-ion battery production for electric cars are controlled by China.
Real world needs needs are oxygen, water and food. The Chinese are looking to control the sea lanes as Britania did a century ago. China is buying huge chunks of agricultural land in Australia, the USA, Canada and Europe. They also control much of the mineral resources in Africa. By controlling critical resources they can control the earth. They do this on purpose.
You may wondering why there is always conflict in the Kashmir region between Pakistan and India? Because it is the water source for at least a billion people...

RE: Slow Collapse
The biggest threat to our society is traitorous SJWs. They are changing the checks and balances in place to prevent overpopulation being an issue.
The voter laws need sorted but imo it is already too late. They are not even hiding what they are up to now and none of us are doing anything about it.

RE: Slow Collapse
If you look back through history at the disparate civilisations that have ended there are patterns to their demise. In the majority of instances we see a slow deterioration where a number of factors come into play. Where a civilisation has a currency based economy the money always becomes debased and eventually loses it's purchasing power, and more importantly the population lose faith in it, Rome being a good example. Agricultural societies all show patterns of collapse viz their food supply either through natural disasters or over exploitation of their resources, the Maya and Easter Island societies being prime examples. The last major factor is as always War and conflict although this always leads to the inevitable demise of both agriculture and economy. The Bronze age collapse is another good example. The collapse at first is slow and almost invisible, but the problems get worse and worse until the final collapse is fast, nasty and brutal.

RE: Slow Collapse
past populations rose or fell on how good the annual harvest was, we have done away with that by having a global system of imports, but once an event any event happens those imports may not be available and with it our ability to feed ourselves.
