I don't know if I agree. That's all the same stuff that older people were saying when we were children.

It's not very difficult to continue producing meat, electricity, running water, and television programming; the basics of our system are not going anywhere, we're at a point where it's too big for those simple essentials to ever disappear. The entire planet save for a few shitholes has all of these things, there is unlimited funding to keep them going, and everyone with any understanding of power knows that food, water, electricity, and entertainment are required for them to maintain control, and they also generate fuckloads of revenue, so they're not going to disappear.

We're sending rockets into outer space, we're not going to stop making hamburgers and TV shows.

I think the political climate will get very dystopian, and there is potential for pockets of conflict, but the citizens of the modern world are always going to choose the comfort of Netflix, hot water, heated homes, and fast food over risking their lives to enforce their political will on a system that isn't afraid to SWAT-raid them and kill them for being a dissident.

The system is not going to disempower itself, and the people are not going to disempower the system forcibly, so I think what's more likely is that we're all stuck on a conveyor belt headed toward a real-deal 1984 dystopian world government, and nobody's going to change it because the change requires collective action of a magnitude that cannot be organized.

I just think the intelligence to manage all that in the West will exceedingly become rarer and rarer with the future we're trending towards. Not only the technology but the ruling class as well. A mix of idiocracy + white genocide + swelling of the colored races, amounting to the West, especially America, basically becoming Haiti or South Africa. You could say that's already starting to begin as shown by the pockets of third-world in places like Detroit. And what you say about people choosing comfort over trying to change things will only keep accelerating that.

If the system in the US wanted to survive, they could do very well to at least tolerate the majority of the country instead of denigrating them, ruining their livelihoods, finding any sense of pride and not complete and utter shame in their race to be of the highest threats to national security ...and so on and so forth. Even the USSR quickly became nationalist and very pro-russian after Lenin was gone, they sent the undesirables to the gulags in Siberia. That's a way you can continue both the control and still keep civilization going, instead I think we'll become too much like Africa to be a dystopia for long.
