I'd like to clear up some things so that we can have a sharper line between the paid shills (and their sockpuppets) and the people who hate me because I tell the truth and the truth just happens to hurt their feelings. There will be no “collapse” the way some of these people think of it. It’s not going to be like the movie Dawn of the Dead or whatever where one day suddenly shit hits the fan and prices skyrocket and everyone begins to riot and the SS comes marching down the street to kill everyone. There will be no singular “happening.” It’s far more insidious than that. Read the poem The Hollow Men by T. S. Eliot and you’ll understand.
You'll just notice that every day simple things will become a little more expensive. Everyone’s homes and apartments will start to get smaller. Your work hours will get longer, but your pay will decrease. You’ll see family and friends less, and find that in time you care less about them. Every day you’ll find yourself lowering your standards for everything: work, food, relationships, etc. Job security will no longer exist as a concept. You’ll notice houses and apartments shrinking. People will start hanging on to clothing longer and longer. Less people will get married, even fewer will have children. People will engross themselves in technological distractions and fantasy while never truly experiencing the real world.
Whatever dream people used to have about what their lives were going to be will become for them a distant memory. The only thing left for them will be the reality of their debt and their poverty. And every minute of every day they will be told, “You are stupid, ugly, and weak, but together we are free, prosperous, and safe.” That is the collapse. The reduction of the white American into a feudal serf, incapable of feeling love or hate, incapable of seeing the pitiful nature of his situation for what it is or recognizing his own self worth.
I think it’s important to point out that when it comes to collapse, you’re primed to look for certain signs as indicative of a collapse, even though they’re not close to how things tend to unfold. Partly this is due to media Hollywood blockbusters, partly it’s probably intentionally, because it makes the real collapse less directly apparent to you. You’ll find yourself rapidly adapting to a new normal. The fact that you have less than you once did is also something you quietly sweep under the rug. Something that economic conditions forces upon us we reinterpret as our own decision. Something that we can’t spin is something we decide not to publicly acknowledge. We don’t recognize collapse because we reinterpret it as a voluntary return to simpler conditions. Hence the hipster phenomenon. Some examples.
ECONOMIC DEPRESSION
What you expect: Unemployment lines, shrinking GDP figures, bank robberies, civil insurrection, government bankruptcies, failing companies, bankers and yuppies jumping from rooftops.
What happens: The young all decide to go to college, they don’t want a job, they’d rather spend until the heat death of the universe “developing themselves.” Then after graduating, they decide to “go abroad for a year,” typically working in a foreign country in farm labor. Back home, the government decides it can no longer support every individual and the most unfortunate quietly decide to kill themselves as a result. They’re bullied out of their benefits in the same way that many employers won’t admit that they can’t afford keeping you hired, but instead blame you. GDP keeps growing because a tiny group of people can inflate their wealth on paper to ridiculous levels.
OIL
What you expect: Skyrocketing oil prices, big lines at the gas station, rationing of gasoline, sudden shortages.
What really happens: Oil producing nations are destabilized as lingering tensions erupt in ethnic conflicts while oil production rapidly drops in the process. Global prices oscillate, oil is renamed “liquids” and definitions are stretched. Young people stop buying cars. Hip new companies come with edgy innovative solutions, like putting a sail on a boat. We’ll never refer to it as taking a step back, returning to an older technology. We’ll present it as something new, something more efficient.
ENERGY CRISIS
What you expect: Grid failure. You wake up one day and the electricity doesn’t work and the whole nation is without as people start plundering.
What happens: Some people have their electricity shut off, but it’s because they are irresponsible and don’t pay their bills. In winter, some people receive letters in the mailbox that during certain periods, they may have to be rationed. The government decides to cut down on lighting on public roads. Some companies agree to pause their activities during peak demand hours, so that consumers can cook food and watch TV without trouble. Eventually you’ll get used to occasional blackouts and eventually you’ll get used to the fact that they tend to occur during certain periods. Later on, you don’t even expect to get electricity during certain periods of the day/year any longer.
FOOD SHORTAGES
What you expect: Supermarkets have empty shelves. People plunder, other people collapse in the street. Images on TV of people in your neighborhood with strong accents complaining that their child is hungry and begging for help.
What happens: Prices for certain items surge, so you decide to stop buying them. People at the bottom of the pyramid no longer buy food in the supermarket, they’re given the leftovers in food banks. People feel ashamed and don’t talk about it. Some schools quietly decide to stop having gym classes.
ADAPTATION
What you expect: Most people in the city start to die, the rich flee to their wilderness retreats, others people build their own communities where they grow their own food and get their own electricity.
What happens: Wearing second hand clothing becomes trendy among the young, as do bicycles. Supermarkets stop throwing away food. People have fewer children. Paid jobs are replaced by volunteer jobs. People are asked to patrol their own neighborhoods, the unemployed are asked to take grandma for a walk. Euthanasia becomes accepted, doctors stop trying to treat every health condition.
FOREIGN CONQUEST
What you expect: They come in carrying black banners, they’re well organized and manage to stage a coup, implementing Shariah law and beheading your prime minister.
What happens: You decide to stop saying certain things. It’s not worth risking and why would you incite violence by drawing cartoons? People arrive in large groups and we can’t blame them as they fled a war, so we’ll temporarily resettle them in hastily assembled communities. Temporary eventually becomes permanently. Police find it difficult to maintain order. They try to delegate this task to the local imam or certain elderly people, who look the other way as certain people try to impose their own laws on these communities. Every time the community riots, some concessions are made by the government–a new youth center, ceding a squatted building, anti-discrimination legislation (affirmative action) and “job opportunities.” Appeasement is nothing new. It’s what the French did with the Normans who landed over a thousand years ago, giving up land in exchange for not being raided.
Point being: THE COLLAPSE IS ALREADY HERE. You have to look carefully for it. Nobody wants to admit collapse, but the signs are visible to all. It’s sugarcoated, it’s rationalized, it’s reinterpreted, it’s rebranded, but it’s there. We give undue importance to new small gadgets, we give new names to old concepts, we redefine growth, we present involuntary decisions as voluntary and it’s easy to fool each other as we do so.
And this is why, as of today still, I continue to say that no one will ever do anything. Because the last 70 years of human history the world over proves that they have no intention of doing so–no intention of FORCING a single, overnight "event" which causes the ZOG to lose power–and therefore there will never BE any loss of power. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. No one is coming to save you. And if you only care about "saving yourself," you have already lost, you stupid fucking ✡libertarian✡ coward. Ask yourself: What happens when all of my neighbors are raped to death and replaced by niggers and dune coons, but I keep telling myself, "It's totally fine, because I have the moral high ground as long as I don't shoot them before they step onto my property"? What happens when you have to sleep? Because eventually you do, you know. With no one else around to defend you, what will happen?

You've posted this several times before. I don't necessarily think it's wrong. In fact, this interpretation being correct is all too possible.
My only question is, why do you seem so happy about it?
Tallest_Skil ago
In what fucking capacity.
BigFatDaddy ago
Every time I read this copypasta of yours, I perceive an air of sadistic glee. I don't know if you just get a jolly off of telling everyone else that they're wrong and doomed, or if you enjoy the idea of the slow death of Western Civilization, or what it is. But there's definitely a noticeable sense of schadenfreude in your post.
Tallest_Skil ago
Your perception is entirely backward.
BigFatDaddy ago
I don't think it is.
I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt and not assuming that you're a demoralization kike pushing the "all-powerful jew" narrative. I don't get that vibe from your posts. Which leads me to wonder why the tone of your posts are so gleeful.
"Hurr durr, you're all stupid and don't realize incrementalism is a thing and you'll never fight back so just enjoy your slow genocide hurr durr." Thats how your post comes off.
Maybe I'm over thinking it. Maybe youre just the type of person who thinks he's the only one who's ever read Animal Farm and are somehow privy to knowlwdge that the rest of us lack. But, it seems to me, you get an awful big kick out of blackpill trolling, and that's something I just can't grasp.
Tallest_Skil ago
You can't grasp it because it's an incorrect assertion. It's just cognitive dissonance. Telling the truth about the world + the truth hurts your feelings ≠ the truth is false.
BigFatDaddy ago
I didn't say it was false. I said you may well be correct. I'm simply asking why you get such a kick out of the idea. Its that enjoyment you seem to feel that I can't understand. Why does the slow decline of Western Civilization give you such joy?
Tallest_Skil ago
Why do you think you're going to get a response to a proven falsehood?
BigFatDaddy ago
You have yet to disprove anything I've said. Calling my observations cognitive dissonance doesn't disprove anything.
Tallest_Skil ago
BigFatDaddy ago
You realize that you just contradicted yourself, right?
Tallest_Skil ago
No, because I didn't. Your assertion is demonstrably false, and has been refuted multiple times now. Just stop replying. You were wrong.
BigFatDaddy ago
Ok, at this point I legitimately can't tell if you're a troll or a nut job. Poe's Law I guess.
And you haven't refuted anything. You just keep deflecting. So, I'll ask again to make it plain.
Why does your post sound so gleeful about the decline of the West? Are you happy that our civilization is in a slow decline? Do you get your jollies by thinking you're the first person who's ever heard of incrementalism? Or is it that you're just a demoralization troll?
Your lack of a coherent response is making me think its the last one.
INB4 you accuse me of calling your post false. I haven't. I get it; frog in a pot incrementalism totalitarian tiptoe slow collapse is a thing. That's not what im asking about, so stop trying to deflect.
Tallest_Skil ago
Okay, we’re done. You’re clearly trolling and blatantly illiterate. Fuck off now.
BigFatDaddy ago
So you're admitting to being an illiterate troll.
Got it. Thanks.
Tallest_Skil ago
lol, it’s like a fucking markov bot.
BigFatDaddy ago
And here come the buzzwords.
Gimme a sec to grab my bingo card.
Tallest_Skil ago
HAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA HE FUCKING PROVES IT
BigFatDaddy ago
Awesome! Center square, first get!

I imagine it will all look like Chinese cities. Apartments 50 stories high, dense fog, poverty for all.
Honey_Pot ago
Insidious, slow death by 1000 cuts. The daily stress, building-up until you Louise your Thelma. Children crying in the night....alone, covered in shaving cream. Birds calling a screechy cold tale of abandoned eggs. Cockroaches scattering under the light, only to regroup silently in your inner ear. Wind rippling through your shorts , like a long forgotten poem.
Themooninthesky ago
Fuck.

youre one of them, aren't you? you turned.
Tallest_Skil ago
Of whom? I believe I have an e-mail of yours I need to respond to yet; I'm sorry about that.
