We need to talk about r/collapse

Some of you guys know this already but r/collapse is recommended to all new users when they join.

r/collapse and r/collapsesupport are full of depressed and otherwise mentally ill people who have convinced themselves that the world is ending to rationalize the way they feel. One of my friends IRL is like this and it's truly sad. I don't know why the frick reddit recommends these subs and I really think it does actual harm to people.

I've been in the situation where my mental problems were exacerbated by online interaction when I had body image issues and browsed /fit/, 4chan's fitness board. It's nearly impossible to get better unless you stop interacting with people who have the exact same issues and rationalizations as you.

Do you think emailing reddit chadmins would get them to stop recommending these subs? Am I a strag for caring about the wellbeing of r*dditors? Let me know what you think. :marseydepressed:

Europe conquered Africa once, they can probably do it again.

Europe is unironically fricked. They're stagnating in an increasingly competitive world, have almost totally deindustrialized aside from a few select industries in a few select countries, and have few natural resources to sustain themselves in the case of "every country for themselves" levels of collapse.

Fair chance once it hits the fan for them the ones that don't crap out go back boogaloo mode and we get another Napoleon. Big wars await in the future for them.

Neighbor they fricked. Although tbf Egypt's impending societal collapse could bring down their political order in an actual, positive way. Even with radical changes in government I don't see how that could improve their economic or demographic outlooks though.

Once the massive waves of climate refugees begin and some lesser states crap out the EU will change its moralising tune incredibly fast as their citizens trade rights for security, and many have already realised their lack of industry is an existential danger. Slamming shut the borders will be one of the first things to happen.

They'll also probably start fighting anyone who tries stop vital trade.

With what force projection? When shit actually hits the fan they're going to get devoured.

Several have strong and very modern military forces, so probably those.

The strong and modern military forces that couldn't even secure Libyan airspace? They won't be securing any of the raw materials they need if we go back to the days of resource wars.

All involvement in Libya was half-assed, majority of what they actually did was just smart bomb things, and technology has changed quite a lot since then. By the time it all hits the fan at least France and Germany will have significantly upgraded their capabilities.

This is why we need nuclear proliferation. If Europoors attack this time, the Africans should have nukes ready to commence the mayocide.
