I honestly do not see how, given the events of the last few years and especially the last week, the USA is able to see the decade out. I think it’s going to just collapse in on itself from the top.

@imitation smitten I feel like one bullet brought the end of the age of empires by hitting Franz Ferdinand, and another just brought about the end of the world as we know it by not hitting Trump.

And I am really scared about what that means. I don’t think we’re going to make it.

I’d be fine with that if not for Putin jumping into the power vacuum cause I’m definitely not in the mood for him to have any sort of influence over my life let alone the planet

@marlies :tblverified: yeah. It’s looking pretty fucking scary. I think this is out civilisation’s inflexion point and I don’t think we come through the other side at all well.

I used to think 9/11 and the wars in its aftermath would be the part of my life that’d be in the history books of my hypothetical grandchildren. Now I think that part is yet to come and we’re in the prelude to it.

I've got an outline in my head of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story set in a collapsed America, and one of the twists is that the rest of the world is still fine. It's America that chooses to be a fucked up hellscape.

The range of possibilities is vast. Almost anything could happen. I make no predictions.
