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.

It unfortuablty also triggers the usual idiots here [as in: here in Germany] that think this is the navel of the world and are shrugging heat waves in other places of because their stupid asses are not sweating. Behaviour like this is so fucking frustrating and one of the main reasons I am very skeptical about humankind surviving in the long run.
The only thing that will curtail the conspicuous consumption here is poverty. (Un)fortunately that is coming, fast. And a nasty side effect will be dysfunctional political landscape. Wagenknecht should do her thing already, if only to limit the damage.
