It's not gonna happen that fast. You're just going to gradually live in shittier and shittier conditions. It'll develop slowly enough that people's standards will simply decline, and you'll forever be waiting for that moment when the line snaps and you are free to retaliate with the unstoppable backing of your people, because the will and the way don't exist. The gap between you and power is so great and increasing that you'll never get a chance to make things just. It's already over.

You’re right. Though at some point the system will collapse, as it is its unsustainable. At that point our people will have a chance at freedom power and glory. Until then the goal is to survive.

Don't retaliate against power. Ignore it. Ignore it and prepare, and when you can no longer ignore it you'll be ready. I don't mean to live in comfortable apathy, but to take steps to remove yourself from the grasp of the powerful. You guys best be learning to grow or find your own food.

Gotta disagree there. People will snap eventually, but like with the past civilizations, the riots, mobs, and dictators are just one more nail in the coffin. There most likely will not be anything or anyone that focuses bringing up living standard, all that will be left is politics of spite.

ITT: wignat larp and doomerism
>>15993953 is basically correct. We must be ready to re-establish civilization. I suspect more important than any technical knowledge, like >>15993462 , will be the ability to govern, lead, unite, and persuade, as well as conduct warfare. Ideally, there is a collapse, someone is both righteous and competent, and establishes a Carolingian dynasty, so to speak, in a long-term project to salvage something from Rome's ruins.
I again reiterate: no single man will have sufficient knowledge of every skill and field necessary to establish civilization on his own. One should know enough about these skills to provide for himself but specialize in a field that will be useful to civilization's rebuilding. I recommend architecture and mechanics.
