Nah they'll use the bases as the bailey and the physical defenses as the motte in order to kickstart their little local feudalisms. We must deny them our descendents

The Protagonist posted:You don't think the hyper-nationalism turned hyper-fascism will do every horrible thing possible in its power to prolong some semblance of the lifestyle the imperial core has afforded them thus far? IMO, this "collapse optimism" you reference is again a result of the Pandemic and the shenanigans in the USA and the UK pulling back the curtain on how fragile our governments control actually is. We like to imagine that our governments and power structures are various degrees of conniving in evil plans, because even if those plans are evil they still imply that there is competence at the top which has a firm grip on events - even if it's an evil grip. Instead the Pandemic revealed that western governance has been almost if not totally hollowed out by the effects of late stage capitalism, to the extent that they were unable to enforce basic pandemic control processes and turned into plague boilers so that poo poo like sports venues didn't lose money. It laid bare the supply chain fragility underlying our entire civilization and the harsh reality that if, for example, some rogue actor nuked Taiwan - it would likely end it once semiconductor stockpiles run out. We've hit the stage in the technological cycle where we require existing infrastructure to continue to function uninterrupted to build the components to maintain existing infrastructure. Semiconductor lithographer equipment manufacturers can't make the machines to spin up semiconductor capacity because the chips they required are so constrained, for example. If you disrupt a system like this, poo poo collapses and given how rapidly poo poo is falling apart it is deeply unlikely we'll see any outcome than a downward spiral. IMO, the hyper-nationalist fascism stage of this decline will be shockingly brief, because these institutions are inherently subject to physical systemic pressures so far out of their control (and possibly comprehension) that they will be unable to muster the control over circumstance necessary to maintain control over territory. Primarily because the people running that show will be the same types who got us here, who fundamentally are incapable of understanding the depth of the poo poo we are in, and are incapable of maintaining the "imperial core" as it exists today - before poo poo gets Real. Fascism in the West, no matter how much oil they pump and how hard they jackboot minorities and social agitators, will not avert the collapse of industrial agriculture and subsequent apocalyptic dust storms as heat-dome induced winds strip the soil from depleted fields and scour the continent with it. They will not restore the flow of the Colorado River. The effects of the food supply collapsing will however, in very short order, end any form of central governance. IMO this is not "optimism" that capitalism is going to suddenly collapse in the near future, per SE, rather it is dawning recognition that every power, economic, or social structure currently known to man is Utterly hosed by the systemic chain reactions we've unleashed - and are now close enough to see the end of.

You think they didn't think of you pooping in the vents when your grandparents were still in nappies? lol I loved the sheer arrogance involved in continuity of government planning. Yes, we're going to take your tax dollars to build ourselves bunkers to protect ourselves from a nuclear war we probably started in the first place. But it's ok, we'll be there to rebuild society afterward, which will probably mean straight up enslaving you since we have tons of military that survived and not much else. Aren't you happy you still have a government though?

Liquid Death comes from a deep underground mountain source protected by a few hundred feet of stone. The water is tapped right from the source into our bottler where it goes directly into air-tight cans after a fancy purification process that 100% maintains the original mineral profile of the water.
