There will be no „collapse“ in the sense people think of it. It’s not going to be like the movies where one day everything collapses, prices skyrocket, and everyone begins to riot. Which in turn brings the army to the streets. There will be no „happening“. It’s far more insidious than that. Read the poem The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot and you will understand a deeper meaning. You’ll just notice that every day items will become a little more expensive, day by day. Everyone’s homes will get smaller, your work hours will increase will you pay will naturally decrease through inflation. You’ll see family and friends less, and find in time you care about them less and less. Everyday you’ll find yourself lowering your standards for life in everything from work, food, relationships, etc. Job security will no longer be a concept. Less people will get married and thus even less people will have kids. People will engross themselves in technological distractions and fantasty while never truly experiencing the real world. Whatever dream people use to have about what their lives were going to be, will become something from a distance past. The only thing left for people will be the reality of their debt and poverty. And every minute of everyday they will be told „you are stupid, you are ugly, you are worthless, but together we are free, prosperous, and safe.“ That is the collapse. The reduction of the American Male into a feudal serf, incapable of feeling love or hate, incapable of seeing the pitiful nature of his situation for what it is or recognizing his own self worth.

Not with a bang, not even with a whimper. Just a slow living death forever. We’ll beg for an ecological catastrophe or an asteroid.
