Yeah. I can just picture it. Survivalists doing an appendectomy in their barn using a pocket knife and some whisky…

Seriously, if the shit properly hits the fan, there’s no “survival” scenario, it’s extinction and homo-erectus goes the way of the dinosaurs.

Anything less than that means the rich get richer and the poor die.

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.
