as a fan of your content, i can't help but feel that fantasizing for a doomsday larp isn't also inherently nihilist. we have so, so much more to lose than to gain by figuratively taking the ball home and going home. sure, things are tough and life is depressing, but america still is, more than any other country/time in history, a place where upward mobility is achievable. if our ancestors were able to put up with their hard times to create what we live in now, there is no excuse for us when we have literally so much more resources than any other generation. to fall into doosmday larper mode is to retreat out of fear of failure to compete in the modern world. and if that's not enough think of your grandma, think of the kids, think of the newborn, think of those with disabilities and those in the cancer wing, think of all those that wouldn't be able to take part in this survivalist fantasy and ask yourself how this isn't the most selfish option?

In the middle ages the great ruins of Rome stood all across Europe. They were testaments to their greatness. But, how they were build, logistically, financially, or even physically, was forgotten. And they mattered so little to those left behind that they didn't even bother clearing the ruins of overgrowth or dirt buildup. I can see in the next two hundred or so years if things don't improve our cities will be exactly like that photo of Seattle you showed. Abandoned overgrown testaments to what we were able to build. But that in the times of the future they're just concrete and not important enough to those trying to get by to bother with.
People will return to the fields on personal farms far apart just trying to scrape by in wooden huts, not caring at all for any amphitheater or infrastructure once existing.

bents old fort was an old adobe trade fort in colorado where people could come and safely set up trade stalls and trade with the fort itself. while being kept safe from indian and outlaw raiders. i wonder if after the collapse if we will have trade forts again. private trade out of your own home will be a risky venture.
that being said i think rudyard should make some videos on how post collapse societies might look. here in the south western US i can see city states springing up around oil fields. places like las vegas and phoenix are unsustainable if the global economy fails, and those in the desert that survive the just in time food systems failing will probably crowd river valleys.

I love your videos Rudyard, but I ve heard so many people talking about how society will end in some way for at least over a decade now. Don t get me wrong, it s obvious that the current global system and society can t sustain itself forever, but it s all giving me a lot of boy who cried wolf vibes and I m feeling sort of meh over it. A lot could happen, a lot could not. Life is unpredictable and truth is stranger than fiction. I do believe faith is a good way to help the human condition survive through horrible times, it helped those during the worse periods of history. Peace be with you, keep up the good work.

the true enemy is and has always been technology. all other social and behavioral changes are only surface ripples come about by the enemy of man and biological life in general. it is not an overstatement. the apple of eden metaphor shows that we knew from the very start of civilization and technology that it was a net negative. because, we are technology, out being, our mind and bodies are. what all technology basically is is trying to take the power away from your own machine. it is shadow life, parallel life or anti life if you will, it has evolved alongside us, grown. technology/ai

I think it's interesting that our population decline seems like it won't be due to a disease or virus, or even a war(though that's a possibility, but due to aging population and low birth rates in the western world. Not even just in the western world either, birth rates are down almost everywhere. It's gonna be a much quieter population collapse then other population collapses in history. Most people still don't know this is happening. Even though it's gonna be much less violent, it's gonna hit us like a truck when the boomers die off.

I knew there was going to be a lifetime crisis of the order of WWII. But I don't know about a 200-300 year crisis. I am a Boome, so I might survive the lifetime crisis, or not, simply based on ordinary health events. If there is a crisis in which half the population dies, though, no doubt I will be one of them. I'd want the young folks to make it.
But, I'm inclined to think that many insoluble problems of the 20th Century will reach substantial resolution in the next few years - possibly before I die.

I don t worry about any apocalyptic event. I live on my farm in a very rural area, I am a master electrician, I hunt year round, my wife is an excellent fisherwoman.
Rather, I struggle with the desire for this to come. I absolutely detest modern society. It makes me physically ill seeing the degeneracy and filth that is proudly on display every way you look. I know I should not want such a terrible collapse, and that it would still be dangerous, but I can t help but to think it might be a chance at renewal.

An evil people deserve what they get.
When abortion is your number one issue for women, instead of being loving mothers. your society is doomed.
When most people look to steal from their neighbor for freebies from the gov. your society is doomed.
When daycare and divorce are the NORM, your society is doomed.
When lies like glo-bull warming and other green nonsense pass for science. your society is doomed.
Enjoy the decline.

Every material investment I've made has fallen flat. To sum it up, I bought dogecoin at the all time high. But Warren Buffet's advice to invest in yourself has paid off the most by far. You can essentially turn your life into a RPG (personally I imagine Runescape) and develop all kinds of skills that pay off in many ways, including material if you're smart about it. I think this video really pushes that sentiment well, great work!

California never practiced slavery but, Jim Crow is a historical fact! Gangs like the Bloods and the Crips wouldn t exist were it not for the Compton City Boy Scouts shutting down rather than integrate with the melanated community members. I thought you were a historian. You have hampered your credibility with this racially ignorant quip. I sensed such angles in your videos before. This is the last time. I am unsubscribing.

If you d consider matching Millennials and Zoomers/Homelanders with Xers for mutual mentorship, I d be up for being one of the GenXers.
I came across a piece of advice on social media that said guys my age should find a 20-something mentor, not mentee, because it creates a bridge to the new world as it forms.
I ve followed that advice since, and have one or two, and the advice has proven out so far.

Just get skills no truer words. I find it ironic the thing I learned from tech school makes way more then my college degree. I even have colleagues that barely graduated high school or have associates degrees.
I work in industrial automation so I think that s valuable skill needed here. In fact that s what the stock photo is showing (he s wiring in an industrial control panel.

In my experience working with thousands of people, here is the generational view of the possibility of a worldwide crisis. 1. 80% of Boomers see a crisis as imminent. 2. 65% of Gen-Xers think it is imminent. 3. 30% of Millennials see an imminent crisis. 4. 15% of Gen-Z think a major crisis is imminent. The Gen-Zers are strikingly ignorant of trends, history or sociology.

I wouldnt mind dying a martyr and becoming folklore to future generations.
Seriously though, democracy watchdog groups are rewriting their analysis of countries to better align with US State Dept. The Israeli deep state has made it taboo to be critical of a foreign govt. We were warned. The arm of big brother has appeared.

I know the world is a scary place right now but. it's gonna get way worse.
Proceed accordingly. Find likeminded people and tribe up, train, learn to fight, learn a useful skill(think building blocks of society like carpenters, stonemasons, hunters, farmers etc, it's not the time to sit on your ass.

07: 54 I'm not so sure about the price of food on this graph. It really depends where you are and in Western Canada food declined in price or was stable for a long time. An example is beef. A strip loin for example was around 8. 50 in 1988 and today one the same size is around 11 and it's better quality.

Heed my words, Struggler. Soon a rain of blood, the likes of which you cannot imagine, shall fall down upon you. It will be a storm of death. But take heed, Struggler. Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words. -Skull Knight, Berserk

It sucks if you never experienced hardships. My father was a slave for about ten years. Four years on the eastern front and then six years in a gulag. So anything that comes at me is nothing compared to that and I have zero respect if most can t handle tough times. FU to those pussies.
