Gwynevere 04/17/23 11:25:58 AM #27:	I don't think verge of collapse is an accurate description, but we've seen an alarming amount of increasing power grabs by fascists over the years. Attempted insurrection on Jan 6th with a number of republican senators involved, worse and worse gerrymandering to give conservatives a disproportionate amount of power compared to their actual presence in society, police departments not even attempting to cover up stories of overt corruption and racism, and attacks on people's healthcare including stripping what little we got from the ACA, women's productive rights, and trans people's access to healthcare. Thats barely scratching the surface, but fascists are certainly chipping away at the stability of the US every day. If something isn't done to curb those attacks very soon, then yeah we'll see shit fall apart at the seams.

Vampire_Chicken 04/17/23 3:53:26 PM #46:	MisterPengy posted... I'm kind of optimistic that with the internet, Zoomers will see and understand who is causing all this garbage, and be angry enough to turn up and vote them out. As boomers start to die out, the "values" that have led us to this will be less common. The boomer generation began dying out at least a decade ago, yet the decline seems to be accelerating instead of slowing. You're turning a blind eye to the threat posed by voters from younger generations who've been quietly filling the gaps, and it's because you're pinning all your faith on a naive, simplistic equation: one particular generation = wholly bad, all other generations = good. If you think modern America will be a shining beacon of hope in 20 years' time simply as a result of the boomer generation having shrunk to practically nothing, I fear you may be in for a bitter disappointment. --- All the good usernames were already taken. <cite>Vampire_Chicken posted [p:972903545] in Is the US ...

Doomer and, by extension, doomerism are terms which arose primarily on the Internet to describe people who are extremely pessimistic or fatalistic about global problems such as overpopulation, peak oil, climate change, and pollution. Some doomers assert there is a possibility these problems will bring about human extinction --- Don't like it? Don't watch it.
