      A country collapsing wouldn’t exactly make things easier for its people. I’d prefer just fixing the problem, y’know.

        America has proven time and time again that it can’t be “fixed”, it’s rotten from the ground up. The longer it stays around the more people it harms. My entire life has been nothing but financial crisis after financial crisis, war after war, a rapidly deteriorating climate, all in the name of profits, and nobody in power seems to want to do jack shit about it. The only way to fix it is to dismantle the structures of power and replace it with a structure where capital doesn’t pull the strings.

          You can dismantle the duopoly without collapse. Some people are working on it already.

          Historically collapse doesn’t lead to utopia. Sometimes economic decline turns societies to fascism.

            Right. Should society collapse, whoever emerges from the ashes will just do the same thing all over again.
