/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.

    Well, it might be. Key gear/inputs further up the production chain might be from China and causing shortages down the line. If there's some essential solvent or whatever used to extract a resource and that's made in China, that could be an issue.

    I'm sure the capitalists are thrilled with their hyper efficient™ system right about now.

      To the best of my knowledge China has no influence on these particular raw materials. I would guess the problem is more of a climate change/labor issue than anything else.
