How long until society's collapse? (lemm.ee)

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?

Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?

Some time this century most likely. Climate change along with China/Russia's pursuit of empire along with their global campaign to seed and normalize autocracy will result in collapse eventually.

China/Russia’s pursuit of empire

You can't be fucking serious. So what, we only care about the climate when people who AREN'T Amerikan fight back against the West's imperial ambitions? We're going to project our own aims on that of your enemies, not ours? You enshrine the reason why I want the West to fall in. Criticizing splinters in ALL your neighbors eyes while never ONCE attending to the whole fucking 2-by-4 in yours.
