        I think this Mad Max dystopia is overplayed and overstated. Places that crumble and collapse into chaos tend to eventually stabilize into subsistence poverty as long as outside forces aren’t agitating. The reason Somalia and parts of Syria are wastelands of roaming pirates is due to poverty induced by imperialism & western forces funding terrorists and rightwing factions.

      It's actually kind of amazing how you're starting to look more like Central America. The same region conservatives scream about America turning into because of immigration.
