Lmao I actually have an excuse for voting for Obama: some people in my class bribed me with a candy bar to vote for him. Of course, I never paid attention to politics until after I graduated college and now kinda regret it in retrospect.

I still didn't really take politics seriously until Trump won. Tim Pool said it best, "I always assumed voting didn't matter and elections were rigged until Trump, the guy who definitely was NOT 'supposed' to win, won."

Real talk: people have been longing for a collapse for decades. Hell, I sounded just like you 10 years ago. The energy online in 2012 was actually more intense than today as Obama reached peak authoritarian and crypto exploded and the repercussions of the Great Recession were being felt in force. At least online, the Civil War 2 and World War 3 talk was just as common 10 years ago. I'm sure it was even more common in the 1970s offline during the last recession, gas crisis, cold war, etc.

If COVID didn't do it I seriously doubt it's ever gonna happen. People like to fantasize about The Collapse because, ironically, it gives you an excuse to stop worrying about your future.
