rex rabidorum vires posted:Yeah that Arab Spring triggered itself. Ok then. It's borderline larp poo poo to draw meaningful comparisons between the Arab Spring and half the US suddenly collapsing in a similar way into a multiple-way war in the streets without the fuckhuge boot of american authority descending on the weak and the poor with extreme prejudice. (and the other half of the country eagerly defending the cops because Behold! Private Property is being Desecrated!). Wakko posted:this is not a climate change thread thing but lol at going so hard at the end of history that you live in a year where the capitol is stormed and minorities arm themselves in record numbers and your take is "yes this is a very stable regime that will persist indefinitely in the midst of water wars and multi-breadbasket failures" It was more like the people in charge were just sitting there in disbelief wondering if they should just give the order to wipe all these people out then and there, or handle this more graciously by going on national television to make sure the PR is all cool and solid before the FBI tracked all the people involved and snatched them in the middle of the night in no-knock raids. Mayor Dave posted:If you mean that there won't be a single drought/famine that will affect the entire developed world at once, ok, but there is no way that portions of the developed world won't face massive internal displacement and subsequent political unrest. The only country in the West that really knows how to successfully enter cool zones is France, but good luck replicating the same anti-authority mindset against a cop-force with billions in funding and all the latest cool surplus military gear. Im sorry but I dont think minorities "arming themselves" are going to make any difference against a cop APC rolling down the street accompanied by 5 dozen fully geared cops and ultra HD thermal camera equipped helicopters patrolling the skies. The intent isnt to arm themselves against the regime, it's to arm themselves against other people.

Tony Tone posted:The storming of the capitol is by far one of the tamest events to have happened in like the past 5 years. A bunch of deranged Q-morons high off the fumes of an ex-reality television star barely being able to scale the outside wall of the building and then getting in and basically going "welp, didnt think we'd get this far lmao" before getting shut down the very same night it all started doesn't really strike me as an "end of history" event. Literally an alphabet soup op, both Qanon and Jan 6. v v v This person gets it.

in the end it doesnt actually matter if we tear apart the rich limb by limb because the planet will eventually get revenge for everyone, its just that it would be the moral good to do it now instead of waiting for deathworld to do it

Lostconfused posted:https://www.csis.org/programs/strategic-technologies-program/significant-cyber-incidents There are a few there that attempt to hack banks and poo poo for money but thats not really interesting either. I was thinking more of a collective that just targets gov and corp institutions for the express purpose of twisting their arms hard enough to cause serious damage, or as a protest against climate change/etc. Like, why "start bombing factories" (in minecraft) if you can just gently caress with machines remotely these days and cause entire chains of production to grind to a halt?

Doom predictions are fine and encouraged. Revolution predictions and other sociological predictions are stupid and bad and extremely boring. I haven't altered my doom timeline. Within 14 years you'll be dead or living in a society so profoundly different and difficult that it will feel total alien to your former life. But probably mostly the former.

How would you even know this I dont remember what life was like in 2007, for example. I was 18 years old and I dont remember poo poo of the "state of society" compared to today. There is no quantifiable way to really realize your quality of life has degraded beyond basic bullshit like peasant -> middle class poo poo or whatever if the timescale is long enough, or if it the change isn't overnight. If you stretch the degradation across years nobody will notice as long as Netflix and Tiktok still works on your TV and phone.

Before I gave serious shits about climate change, a big reason I was super into riding the bus and trains was the safety aspect. Also my love of being able to read a book and totally zone out. Seriously driving is dangerous AF.

the best way to drive, which coincidentally is also the best way to make it through life, is to assume everyone is a dumbass and will do the worst thing possible never get surprised by people cutting you off, slamming on their brakes, gunning red lights, cutting three lanes to make an exit, etc, because you anticipated their 2 brain cell decisions this is also why i will never ride a bike on a shared road if i have a choice
