why not tho? inflation cant be stopped and the only thing that prevents that chart is people holding usd. the second people decide to spend every penny they have on other things that aren't being inflated 15%+/yr then it seems over

Because the people in power are in power because they have relatively more dollars than the people they rule over. They will do absolutely anything necessary to preserve this imbalance.
You know how the Spartans had the Helots and they treated them mercilessly? That's the elite vs us.

This is part of why I cannot stand people who have this big fantasy of the world unraveling and collapsing.

People will live through it, spend their entire lives in the deepest pits of that collapse and not even realize anything was collapsing. It will be called a "decline" or a "recessive period" until one day people are more concerned with building new stuff than maintaining the old decrepit stuff. It won't be considered a collapse until centuries after it's over and done with.
