Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

1 - Remember the human

Chernobyl was in Ukraine not Russia. What's your point?

Which were individual states in the USSR, not completely different countries like Japan and the US

Are you actually a fucking idiot?

Japan is abut as independent of the USA as any of those countries in the USSR were from Russian rule. The USA is an empire and Japan is one of many vassal states.

You clearly either don't know how the USSR worked, or how Japan works now

Having been there myself: you're so far off it's not even funny, it's just really sad
