are we living through a societal collapse?
how are we supposed to survive it?

>Sorry, you can't buy food with your Debit Card because the bank is bankrupt, didn't you see it on the news? Do you have cash? If not, go sell something at the pawn shop.
you better be prepared for this scenario.

How is paper currency going to help when 94% of people will have no cash or valuables and will be out there just killing and taking what they can?

Wot could happen...
When the bosses...
Go on strike...
How would we handle it...
All dignified and shit...

you should drive to a village before things go bad.
you'll depend on people growing the food, at first they'll accept cash, then they won't, so you also need items to trade.

>>40774075
Bullshit. If anything we'll just go back to credit, the same way every single human tribe used to do. A "borrow economy" is a myth.

>you better be prepared for this scenario.
Most people don't have that option. Being prepared is having resources and military-grade defenses, or a hidden bunker.

If you just have a house it'll get torn apart and raided by someone.

TOPKEK. Have you been to a village in 2025?
In my country alone the total area of home gardens decreased by 97% !!! - read ninety seven .percent - in the past 20 years. What the fuck are you talking about? People growing food ahahaha

>>40774562
When people need to grow food they'll grow food, it's that simple. Right now there's no need so they don't. Be the change you want to see, get some chickens and share any surplus eggs with your neighbors. They'll probably feel the need to give you stuff in return out of kindness, ez pz post-apocalypse economy solved. Just share and be kind.

>>40774619
Spoken like a true sheltered urbanite retard - thinking you "just grow food bro". You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Do you think people without stockpiles or seed stores will just grow !!sufficient amount!! of food out of their asses? With no experience in land management, planting, disease control, fertilization, without fucking irrigation and without tools? Don't you understand that people living in villages do not have gardens and the skills to work the land, anymore? These are facts.

I've seen all I've needed to in this life, none of this shit is worth preserving. The only good invention was the air conditioner

>>40774669
there are tons of things worth preserving on my laptop and USB sticks (like videos on how to do metallurgy, bricklaying and agriculture), but I would need electricity for it, and when electronics break down they're done for.

Gilgamesh was a man who had pre-flood knowledge.

https://archive.org/stream/TheEpicofGilgamesh_201606/eog_djvu.txt
I WILL proclaim to the world the deeds of Gilgamesh. This was the man to whom all things were known; this
was the king who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, he
brought us a tale of the days before the flood. He went on a long journey, was weary, worn-out with labour,
returning he rested, he engraved on a stone the whole story.

When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body. Shamash the glorious sun endowed him with
beauty, Adad the god of the storm endowed him with courage, the great gods made his beauty perfect, surpassing all
others, terrifying like a great wild bull. Two thirds they made him god and one third man.

In Uruk he built walls, a great rampart, and the temple of blessed Eanna for the god of the firmament Anu, and
for Ishtar the goddess of love. Look at it still today: the outer wall where the cornice runs, it shines with the
brilliance of copper; and the inner wall, it has no equal. Touch the threshold, it is ancient. Approach Eanna the
dwelling of Ishtar, our lady of love and war, the like of which no latter-day king, no man alive can equal. Climb
upon the wall of Uruk; walk along it, I say; regard the foundation terrace and examine the. masonry: is it not burnt
brick and good? The seven sages laid the foundations.

>tfw I'm a survivalist boomer with a garage full of important books full of knowledge from medical journals, academic textbooks, and engineering manuals

I'd build a shelter but goddamn those are expensive to put up and then have to maintain all the time. I'm on the fence about saving up and getting an RV instead.

Civilizations rise and fall throughout history, it's a cycle. Maybe the elite have found a way to engineer the fall of western civilization so that it's in a way to minimize damage

He rejected her and she got his close intimate friend killed out of jealousy

Its easy to grow most crops retard, we arent monocropping 100 hectares. Just watch out for those faget squash bugs

Yeah

loooooolll look at mr sunshine rainbows optimism here. he doesn't know. but there's a few few few few few special people with hearts of gold in the world. sometimes, a lot, they're very misguided or open-minded to the point their brain falls out. but those rare few people with real integrity will connect with you.
but don't for a second expect fairness and equity with the vast majority of the population. they're just sponges. like when you give a dog a treat, then immediately try to take the treat away. the dog snarls and growls, threatens to bite the hand that fed him. most "people" are just like that dog.

chud, it's nobodies fault you're too retarded to grow food you don't have to go all schizo about it

knowledge was lost and has to be re-learned, intensive agriculture using pesticides led to soil depletion and has to be forgotten.

Lunar cycles have long played a role in traditional agriculture, and some farmers still follow moon phases today—especially in biodynamic farming or folk traditions.
Here’s how it typically worked:
New Moon to Full Moon (Waxing Moon): This phase was believed to support growth and expansion. Farmers would plant crops that produce above-ground yield—like tomatoes, corn, and lettuce.
Full Moon to New Moon (Waning Moon): This time was thought best for planting root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and onions, as well as pruning and harvesting.
New Moon: A moment of rest and soil enrichment, when farmers might avoid planting and instead focus on fertilizing or preparing beds.
Full Moon: Seen as a time of high energy and moisture, useful for harvesting juicy fruits or transplanting crops.
Many of these practices stem from the idea that moon phases influence groundwater levels—much like ocean tides—affecting seed germination and plant vitality.

>are we living through a societal collapse?
Yes but it won't be a dramatic apocalyptic event. It's a slow, inevitable decay. The information age was the point that hope is lost. As information grows, so does corruption and memetic information spreads like fire. Inevitably trust collapses and society falls apart.

What a faggot ass, Reddit like response. You're probably mentally retarded

>>40773789 (OP)
Whatever, I already want to die. All the #blessed normies losing their minds will be fun to watch.

People have been waiting for the collapse for over 60 years.
A guy that was 20 back then, 80 now:
>Wow, it didn't happen in the last 60 years, I wonder if it's due in 2 more weeks.

Credit, and then coin, was invented to pay mercenaries who couldn't participate in the borrow/barter economy of the tribes.

>>40774075
A "village". Your country has even twisted your language- a city is for the working slaves and a "village" for farmers. 1984 wasnt too far off maaaatttttteeee

The biggest lie happened thousands of years ago so it was only a matter of time that this would only get worse and worse

Yeah and you wonder why they wanna take guns away. Those with guns are best prepared for these situations
