I've also been hoping for the same thing. The faster the current system falls apart, the less painful it will be.
The years of daily grind combined with a feeling of hopelessness is what hurts people the most and causes lasting resentment.
Our civilization is too interdependent with no place being able to sustain any level of advanced technology on itself. We traded all the resilience we had for "efficiency". Our current system is very brittle and if it fails, it fails globally. Expect hundreds of millions to die if it does.
We have to FIX our system, not make it worse. The reality of trying to force our entire civilization to commit mass suicide is a slow horrible intensification of all that is wrong with the world.
Please do your part to spread the word to your fellow nihilists. (by definition, not my opinion nor an insult)
