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.

Like yelling fire in a crowded theatre. No politician is going to do it until they are out of the theatre. Antonio Gutterez, the UN secretary general is as close as we've come.

Still, through /r/collapse and the popularizers on you tube, the message is out. Everybody with the capacity to know already knows with the exception of children who are still developing the capacity to understand. Even a lot of children know where we stand.
