    It's awful, but it also highlights that you can't scold or guilt the majority of imperial-core dwellers into agreeing to give up their privileged socioeconomic positions because "it's the right thing to do."

    We'll eventually lose that privileged position anyway as global logistics systems start to unravel.

        without the people’s standard of living significantly lowering.

        I mean I kind of hope it lowers. Obviously I want better conditions for people, mosty Black and brown and indigenous people, trapped in grinding poverty with shit healthcare, food, housing and services.

        But white suburban petty boug or PMC families living in five bed, three bath houses with a yard and a pool all for only 3 or 4 people? Nah, fuck that. Nevermind that kind of living just isn't sustainable in any way, it also changes how you see people and interact with them. It makes you a property owner. It feeds the mentality we see in the idiot from the reddit thread.
