I think materially things will get worse, however, in terms of society changing to be less shitty I think there's a possibility. Personally, I think that I'd prefer to be poor and live in the burned-out shell of a city where people have finally come together to make a better world than to live comfortably in a world where everything is getting worse all the time and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I'd rather have a threat I can face than have all these looming crises hanging over my head giving me anxiety, because at least when you face a threat it gives you a sense of purpose and makes sense.
