#societalcollapse

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

To prepare you need to know what you might face. This is true for an individual, as well as a society. To make it a bit easier to figure this out on a societal level, I aggregated a number of sources that try to assess what challenges humanity might face globally. I hope this is helpful to give others a better overview of global risk and also explore how different experts assess these differently. You can find the post here: existentialcrunch.substack.com

If it's one thing is clear, it's that the #republicans and #Trump sees the #left as a threat - and that's the upsell. The only thing between them and their #autocracy is the #collectivist movement.

#Decentralization is a threat to their paradigms and they know it. #Hegemony dies under #global #equality - their power with it.

For them it's now or never, because the #RaceToTheBottom would eventually yield #SocietalCollapse. But the #US could wake up to the truth.

#EtPluribusUnum.

In the research around #SocietalCollapse, once you get to the 18th century, revolutions start to pop up as a topic. To better understand the ideas and concepts important for revolutions, I read and summarized Hannah Arendt's "On #Revolution". In this she lays out how the two main revolutions of the 18th century played out (#AmericanRevolution and #FrenchRevolution), where they succeeded, where they failed and where they took different paths. Interestingly, one of her main conclusions is that we need more and better #democracy if we want to correct the errors of these past revolutions.

"#Overshoot: Why It’s Already Too Late To Save #Civilization"

I also quote a paragraph that brings some hope (from another article of the same author).

"That’s why I always emphasize that even though it’s too late to save civilization, it’s not too late to save as much of the natural world as possible. Every 1/10th of a degree of warming that we prevent will save millions of lives and countless species."
