the specific part people keep getting wrong is thinking the markets will ever reconnect with material reality. it's a kind of latent liberalism. there is an assumption that system collapse must be like a financial crash or a recession or some such internal measure. thus, they keep predicting that the markets will wake up and tesla will crash or there'll be some other reckoning to signal the "start" of the collapse, when, in fact, the measures will continue to diverge from material reality while the western ruling class correspondingly becomes ever more demented the further into the already ongoing collapse we get.

the one thing I’d add to cybernetic capitalism and catabolic decline is that one of the latter layers of temporary stability is going hard f fascism because it is preferred over the alternatives for numerous reasons. not like piss weak liberals QQing over trump but actual bonafide fascism to jettison the maintenance baggage through militarized control while also further allowing continued decoupling of material reality to the ‘economy’

All the proof anyone could ever need is right in front of their faces. But if you're a loving lib nerd and you need undeniable metrics look at suicide rates and declining life expectancy. If you want undeniable optics look at all the homeless people. Then ask what force, organization, or mechanism exists in our political and socioeconomic landscape that has hope of reversing any of it. Things don't fix themselves, they only seem to when the empire still retains enough global power to wallpaper over it.

It is that resources have to come from somewhere and as the Dollar comes under increasing pressure the public at large via rates will be asked to contribute more (i.e never own anything, rent forever, 6 jobs, and to be in massive debt etc).

Also, the market isn't going to collapse (in any long term sense) if there are bunch of massive corporations with tens of billions of cash on hand that can always buy what they need and can the SEC to gently caress off. It doesn't mean the market will always go up, but the reason it is going up isn't earnings or lower rates, they just bought it back up and brute forced it.

Yeah there won't be a "the 9-5 life is over, time to run around in the street with a gun" inflection point but I do think we're in for a rapid decline in material conditions and living standards. Rapid as in over the course of the next 10 years or so. All the major breadbaskets are having problems and the climate is only going to get worse, and agriculture depends on a fairly narrow range of predictable weather patterns to work well.

The market actually "Collapsing" in a real sense would be whether or not you think another Great Depression is possible.

I think a good metric to judge that is if you believe the 究極の印刷の無限の成長(Ultimate Print, Infinite Growth) technique employed by JPow in 2020 actually fixed the economy and stopped the recession.

If the money printing actually worked as economists claim and liberal democrats take credit for then yes sending out more precise cash dumps would put out the fires before they start.

I don't really think a Great Depression is really possible in a real sense, not the deprivation of the Great Depression, but the system losing control like it did. Arguably, the worst of the Great Depression wasn't the stock market crashing but it hitting banking and the government not really doing anything about it until it was absolutely forced to and following that up with austerity.

Right now, the population is being squeezed and things are becoming more difficult for most people, but both tech and the financial industry is aren't worrying the Fed won't have their back, they will.

Right now, the Fed is more restrained in printing, partly because of issues with the dollar, but even if the dollar devalued to some extent, companies like Apple would be fine (they would just go into Euros/dollar and buy more of their stock).

You could throw some money into the market and see but there are always periodic corrections to make sure buybacks are cheaper (look at Facebook).

In addition, housing is probably going to be more unaffordable for the foreseeable future, there is no way to build subdivisions like back in the 2000s and most of the new construction is rentals.

I frankly disagree, it's entirely possible for it to hit a point where it spins out; and remember, things will fall apart slowly until major inflection points are hit, then it won't be slow at all.

Or a black swan event hits the system and all the filling has been since been sucked out and the facade just crumbles.

Plus nothing like a war to topple your system, even if you ostensibly win. Losing carriers to China and having to sue for peace probably isn't going to be great for America, nukes notwithstanding. I'm sure America will make up for that with people like yours truly getting tossed into camps and expropriated as revenge, Korematsu is still the law of the land.
