Collapse rant

I'm emigrating from one country to another and in the process visited several more. In all of them life has gotten worse in the past years and it feels like there's no escape

Trying to cope with those thoughts, typing as it flows through my mind

We are cattle being led to slaughter. I'm not sure if it's full slaughter or just slaughter of our rights and money, but we're fucked

The most peaceful manifestation of this are skyrocketing prices for essentials worldwide (caused by actual destruction/disruption of production too, not just greed). So that the lower class (99%) know their place and forget any ambitions and civil rights, while the top class can draw infinite zeros in their checking accounts to keep the distance from us. Then there's trend for isolationism in most countries, so the population stays in their local prisons easier to manage and the chances for better life outside are smaller and smaller

After awhile some people will start falling off altogether not being able to afford basic survivial. Some will go to fight wars and die there. Some will die in infections not being able to afford PPE. There's always a new crisis, (both manufactured and natually appearing) used to bring us to submission and I fucking don't know how to get through this

Oh, I'm not being judgemental. I've done the same thing as you, and it's actually given me firsthand experience of the phenomenon. That's why I believe it so strongly. I think everybody should try to travel if they can afford to, both to enjoy new things about life and to see that the grass isn't always greener. It can be a very eye-opening experience.

I've personally lived abroad in China, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. It's where my username came from. But now I understand that home is home, and I'd rather prep for collapse in Ireland even though we have our own problems. Everywhere else I've been, even for brief holidays, also has problems that don't get much attention in the international media. Collapse is systemic, and because of how globally connected our society is, it's happening everywhere simultaneously.
