/r/collapse is very fertile ground for agitation, more so every year. This new subreddit, specific to the global supply chain collapses, is also a place where we can speak directly to the emotions people are feeling and the material conditions creating them. If it isn't full of socialists it will soon become full of libertarian preppers.

edit: I've also got no part in leadership there. It started popping up in crossposts yesterday.

    Last year I finally figured out what r/collapse's deal is, they're downwardly mobile (upper middle to lower middle) suburban millennial kids who discovered capitalism exists, half of them know it as capitalism and the other think it's "cOrruPt hUmAn NatUre"

    Facets of reality that would appear "normal" or obvious to people who exist under or just above the poverty line gets confused as signals of impending collapse (which to be fair on a long enough timeline probably are)

    Those kids are harmless, but they get worked up real easy, most of them probably never set foot in an apartment until they left for collage

      This makes a lot of sense. Huge amounts of individualism over there. I think of it as a liberal prepper sub / sooner depression venting sub.

        They get downgraded from Single-family detached homes to Multifamily residentials and those funny duddies think it's the end of the world lol, but there's gonna be a lot more people like them in the future, which could make them assets for American socialists
