The Collapse Will Be Normalized
As civilization collapses, the media will attempt to normalize things like war, famine, and genocide. Don't let them.
2/29/24
Ukraine began, everyone was terrified it would lead to nuclear armageddon. But now, it’s normal.
And of course, the IDF—using bombs from the US—continues to kill children whose only crime was being born on a piece of land that Israel wants for itself. When Israel first started indiscriminately bombing the Gaza strip, most people were surprised. But now, it’s normal.
There are dozens of other examples, but you get the idea.
I used to think that once the collapse became obvious, society would wake up and change. But right now, the fact that our civilization is in the early stages of collapse is pretty goddamn obvious, yet most people look at the world today and consider it perfectly normal. Even when a flood wipes out half a country’s breadbasket and displaces millions of people, government officials still say things like, “It’s called weather.”
So I guess that’s how it’s going to be. No matter how bad things get, it will be normalized.
The first time a heatwave knocks out the power grid and millions of people die, the media will find a scapegoat. They’ll blame green energy, climate activists, terrorists, anyone but the capitalists who are destroying the planet for their own gain. The second time a heatwave kills millions, it will be normal.
