We now don't have a single stable country on earth governed by any left wing party. Russia is on the rise. Hate and fear are at record levels. Global warming is growing stronger and faster. The world media is being taken over and controlled by singular entities geared towards fulfilling one single purpose. Mankind is losing all autonomy to the fascist government police state and machines. Are these a sign of the end times? I think this is pointing that the end of mankind will be within the next 8 years. I can not imagine anything else. We must prepare for this. We must be ready.

The majority of nations still have progressive parties, and are not totalitarian states by any sense of the word. Not even Russia (super-presidency unapposed). Therefore poo poo can be reversed. Also, a solar cycle of record minimalism will begin next decade, bringing about *gasp* global COOLING. Therefore your argument is bullshit. And on

I've heard and read people say that things are actually getting better. I think there might be some truth to that. The world used to be even more violent, less equal, more chaotic, than it is today. Little by little, the general trend is towards less violence and more equality, greater quality of life, etc. Gay marriage is almost legal in the U.S.; it's already legal in several other Western countries, and the general trend will probably continue. Meanwhile, technology keeps moving forward and advancing; who knows what will be possible in the coming years and decades? Maybe not faster-than-light space ships and nanobots that make anything from scratch, but short of that, who knows? Anyway, things are still bad and can easily get worse, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?

How loud would a fart have to be to crack the earth in half? Unless op farts that loud we'll be ok, relatively speaking. I mean, the environment is going to be massively hosed and life will suck for a whole lot of people but humanity isn't going anywhere anytime soon. And overall more people are doing better than in most of history. So lay off the bean burritos, op, and we can all chill out.

I'll be honest, people who say that we should be happy because gay marriage is legal in some places in the US while everything else crumbles around us seem pretty silly.

Anglo-European dominance and civlisation will likely collapse at some point just cause that seems to be what civlilisations do and we aren't doing much to stop it. Probably won't happen for a century or two yet though. Humanity isn't going anywhere barring some kind of total nuclear exchange or if Climate Change ends up worse than the fevered dreams of the craziest ecowarrior. We are entering an interesting little endgame between "money power" and democracy but even that is just the financial elite trying to turn back the clock rather than anything new and apocalyptic.

OP maybe it is just the natural order of things and you should just accept it instead of preparing to stave off the inevitable because that is the height of futility. Embrace the oblivion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fxVeAVl2I8

Actually the world will only get better. Sure there's a lot of bad things going on but in the long course of history society has a tendency toward improvement. Slavery used to be the basis for everyone's economy just a few hundred years ago and now it's illegal the world over. Longevity is up, human rights are getting better, and most of the world lives under some form of democratic government that they have a say in. Global warming will turn the Arctic into a bread basket and everywhere south of it will have nice balmy subtropical weather except the tropics which will stay pretty much the same as they are now, if the conditions during the Miocene (the last time Earth had this much CO2 in the atmosphere) are any indication. Once we get past the 'everything floods' phase it'll be pretty nice. All in all life will get better and better for us

Also, if it's anything like the Miocene, we'll have non-human apes wild in North America again which will be cool.

As biotech gets more advanced and engineering destructive bugs gets easier, someone will (intentionally or not) wipe out most of the human race along with civilization as we know it.
