I think the important thing to keep in mind is that the average Redditor (aka an American guy in his 20s) is not necessarily some brilliant prophet who knows how things are gonna shake out. Look at me, an average Redditor (though not an American guy), I thought 2020 would mainly be an American-Iran conflict. Sure didn't get that one right, better luck in 2021.
In other words, stop reading r/collapse. At least read scientists/sociologists/historians' articles directly instead and skip all the Redditors theorising about them.
