The world is always headed towards catastrophe, eventually. But we never so aware of it before. Self-fulfilling prophecy are a bitch.

I use Marvel for that, so likewise, too many will escape reality into a soothing gaming reality where the people whom you kill don’t really die.

I use Marvel for that, so likewise, too many will escape reality into a soothing gaming reality where the people whom you kill don’t really die. I'm not a gamer, never have been. My soothing place is Nature. True, Mother Nature is red of tooth and claw, but there is also the peaceful side, surrounded by trees, birds, flowers, etc. Of course, I stay close to home during hunting season, tending to my companion animals who happily coexist. ![[kittens]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/ixESefyIAIHKognTAQqs.gif) (we need dogs and goats in emoticon form)

It's possible the Western world is collapsing. Should it happen, barbarism will return and this time there may be no culture to rise above it. Not for many centuries anyway.

All we have to do is elect <insert your political tribe here> and they will fix it. And if they don't, it's because the other tribe is evil and interfered with us so we have to double down and do whatever it takes to elect <insert your political tribe here>.

Because there are far more people who like the savagery, it is easier to make money off of, and they don't give a shit how they leave the world, so long as they leave it on top.

Yea, pretty much like this. The religious fundies have been looking forward to the end of the world for generations. Now that it is here, they are in a denial panic.

It certainly seems like it.
I'm surprised we haven't already arrived.
