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.

Singular event. No singular event has been as bad. Concentrated, short timeline. Days. Hundreds if not thousands dead within months, tens of thousands displaced and/or riddled with cancer. All from ONE single reactor. Jfc stop selectively reading my comments.

You’re saying it’s exaggerated? Give me a fucking break. Go read the numbers.
