      If I told any type of normie in 2016 that civilization is going to collapse soon they would all think I was insane

      I literally told people in 2015 that Trump is going to run and win, and they literally did call me stupid, and they kept calling me stupid until it was November 2016, then they just pretended I never said anything

      If I told libs in 2019 that we're about to enter a mega-recession because the yield curve inverted, they'd probably call me insane

      If I told you in December 2019 that we're about to see the biggest pandemic in over 100 years, probably 95% of even this website would've called me insane

      And here we are, it's been only a few years. There are no limits or impossibilities

        I didn't have this problem because I used their disbelief to extract gambling money from them

        They still think you're insane, and I don't blame them. Watching the crisis unfold really is unbelievable.

        I still think you're insane in 2022 for thinking that. The rest of these things, sure. But this isn't collapse of civilization.

      I kept this thought in the back of my mind specifically because I knew I would sound completely insane trying to explain it to anyone.

      It's pretty fuckin weird right?

      Like even by 2022 online leftist standards?

        It's extremely weird. Imagine if this level of energy and resources was devoted to creating common prosperity.
