    Listen… Yes they have really disturbing plans, and we’re in a collapsing empire period

    They’re also very stupid. They have not done the ground work to do a cyberpunk takeover of society after the collapse. They’ve just met in backrooms and circle jerked about it… They’ve been doing that for a century

    The future is going to be very chaotic, and that means the people will no longer trust the institutions. At the end of the day, everyone is subject to the will of the people, and the people are generally like sheep - you have to move slowly and speak in a calm voice if you want them to move in an organized fashion

    They have done the opposite

        The secret is, you’ve got to drop to your bottom line immediately. I’m going cannibal after the first missed meal, gotta keep those calories up before they get wasted

        But seriously, you have to listen to people who have lived through living in war zones or through the collapse of a country. People band together, because that’s what people do. Yes, it’ll be hard, people will die, but humans are shockingly resilient. A small trickle of calories can keep a person going for years… Things will be harder, but the darkest possible timeline isn’t as dark as you think
