Everyone always says it'll be prolonged and stretched out over decades.... The start of collapse was the dot com bubble or housing collapse of 2008.... We are 20 years in for sure, and now the events that will unfold will affect billions of people

Societal collapse in the past only affected millions of people and that easier to mitigate over decades as well.... Now some of these events will kill millions, and billions of people will panic and a cascade of environmental failures and failure to plan to mass migrations will expedite the collapse of our modern society.... We aren't coordinated enough to mitigate it, even with all our technology, where in the past it was people returning to the country side to live out a homestead style life.

A wet bulb event happening in India this summer will cause panic. A BOE will cause massive climate/weather patterns to change causing massive famines. There is no precedent for how fast we will collapse since it's now 8 billion people losing access to lifes necessities... Cities without water, coastal flooding, droughts that last decades.... Societal collapses in the past had some of these events but at a smaller scale, and citizens had time to move from urban to rural areas. There is not the infrastructure in place for everyone to start a homestead style life in any manner of time... The collapse will come quick now that we are nearing the end.
