This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

Location: Germany, France. The usual rioting, burning cars (in France) and attacking first responders and police with (sometimes illegal and dangerous) fireworks on the new year's night (Germany). Several hundreds arrests, more of it in France. No reporting of mass attacks on women this year, at least so far.

Farmers spraying political buildings with manure. Likely farmer blockades forthcoming starting on 8th January in Germany.

Lots of austerity budget cuts forthcoming in 2024 in Germany due to budget having been declared unconstitutional. Energy announced to become even more expensive. Lots more hospitals closing down. Unemployment figures are starting to creep up. Dismal economic prospects, deindustrialization is picking up pace.

No real MSM backpedalling in the NATO-Russia proxy conflict yet. Propaganda is still at deafening volume, but the general public is showing first signs of becoming weary of it.
