When I was a kid I always remember people saying the end is near through the 80s 90s and 2000s. Once covid started I already knew with the whole plantet being pushed into chaos it was the beginning of the end. I pray for everyone to stay humble and have good hearts and to not let this chaos change you. Because it has changed billions for the worst.
When Trump won i saw the beginning of the end i mean comon, he was the great divider. After him whos team won became all that mattered. No more unity in America, and thus the destabilization began.
I’m not as old but I completely understand. I’m 23 and my dad was a pastor my whole life. I grew up hearing this everyday.. didn’t really hit until my dad and other people from our church died from Covid..

This was incredibly accurate. Everyone is playing politics but we need to be focused on sustainability. Water and food should be priority and figuring out what your plan for next year will be. 2023 is going to be extremely painful for us all.

Humans are incompetent even while disaster is looming above them inevitable creeping in. Even while face to face with death people would still deny & be too prideful to show humility. That’s the human condition, we’re simple incompetent.
No not accurate,cos we can do better than succumb to Nazism.
Exactly @kuis o
Idk how to explain this well but politics are social construct there are needed for a society to function, one of the biggest problems however is capitalism since it profits from people necessities like hospitals that's cost a lot for low and mid range family to afford and the list goes on and on.

What’s crazy is your generation watched it happen. Sat back, and voted against our best interests. Boomers are only good at deflection. Sad
Because we know nothing better

Also, that commenter isn't a Boomer I don't think. He's in Gen X. Another in-between generation kinda like Gen Z. Because now things are changing so quickly, a generation is only 10 to 15 yrs instead of 20 to 30.
I don't know what's worse: being a millennial with a very comfortable stable childhood, right at the end of Pax Americana, having every reason to believe it'd continue indefinitely only to have that ripped away; OR, never seeing the good times and only knowing this.

My parents were boomers, but they type of boomer that voted Republican for decades but would've done all they could to show people Trump for the cowardly, soft, lying, cheating, thieving, weakling he is)
The most important thing in a society is integrity. We have largely lost that
When Morality is lost so is Freedom!
We lost that a long time ago.
Really what everyone should have learned from this pandemic is #1 self control/emotional regulstion #2 personal research,not depending on everything you see on tv #3 how important technology/innovation is to make sure we create a world that still supports us even in times of crisis or natural disaster. If you've only learned what you've seen on tv since covid then you've learned nothing.
Don't forget the importance of building resilient communities to help provide for everyone in times of need. It's going to be very needed going forwards, I think. We need each other.
Technology is what has created this clusterfuck of nonsense. If you think that technology is going to save humanity you haven’t been paying attention. Human beings survived for thousands of years without electricity or even indoor plumbing, what makes you think that these stupid phones have made are civilizations better? I honestly feel bad for young people today, you’ve been lulled into a false reality that is completely manufactured insanity and some of you can’t get enough.
Yes technology has caused alot of harm because of HOW we use it. If the world started using it the right way then it would be fine
.only issue is getting individuals who think for themselves and also will speak out on injustices,hold people accountable. Just like all the bad guys have the tools,we good guys have the same tools. That simple choice is what will decide societies fate. For example I'm in NYC and there's several channels where people trap online pedophiles & have them arrested.we had an armed citizen stop a mall shooter (can't remember where) but you get my point.
@@mariew4422 I agree with you on much of the technological stuff, especially that technology in a more egalitarian society would look and be used differently that in a capitalist or authoritarian society. But there are two things that I think are worth pondering about.
1. We make technology, but the way we make it also impacts how we use it. For example, we choose how to make a hammer, but the way we hold the hammer is also guided by the hammer's design. That's why tech made in today's society would likely take a different form in a different society.
2. Regarding injustices and holding people accountable: right now, this is the best we can do, but we have to strongly consider the environment of those people we want to keep accountable. Were they, by any chance, strongly incentivized to behave a certain way? Is it not possible to change the incentives? Why were those people in the position they were in? Is that position even necessary, and can we not imagine structures where the kinds of behaviours we'd choose to punish today wouldn't be encouraged in the first place?

The fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans now have an almost complete lack of faith in our current corporately-captured government, which has been solely dedicated to increasing the wealth & power of a handful of corporations & billionaires over the last several decades (through BOTH Republican & Democratic administrations) is only something that a willfully ignorant, Trickle-down syndrome, buffoon, who has totally bought into the masturbatory myth of "Rugged individualism," would embarrassingly crow about.

The transportation industry too. I own a Commercial Truck Repair Shop and we worked full time through the entire pandemic.

I can't say the world has gotten better since I was born in 1970. In some ways, yes. In some ways, it's far worse.
Grew up in a sheltered life through the 90's and 00's, the mid 2010's to now have been an ice-bath. My country isn't even as unstable as the US, but the trends are the same: a rise of far-right sentiments, wealth inequality, austerity politics (and the breakdown of a formerly very decent welfare system), increased police violence, housing crisis, noticeable climate change etc.

Spot on vice, wish everyone could watch this. But then again 3/4 of people wouldn’t believe it.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe”
- Carl Sagan
Another way to say it is, "It's easier to fool people than convince them they've been fooled."
Well I believe in climate change, I believe in the reality of fascism today and I believe in Jesus soooo I think that proves that generalizations, whether you believe yourself to be a scientist or whatever, don’t work.
I do believe in god but i also study history. This isn't the first time a civilization has collapsed. Won't be the last.
The American powergrid has never been insulated from a Carrington type solar event from happening. If this did happen, and it happened around 150 years ago, it would destroy everything you possess with electronics and would take around 1.5 years to rebuild. Do you think the 1/100 of the people who own a pre 1980 vehicle that runs would be able to travel freely with them? The government has been well aware of this possibility and refuse to act to prevent it. It is not a catastrophe if it is intended to happen. The government you cherish doesn't cherish you.
Theres a novel on the electric grids all going down forgot name. In the book it took 15yrs for everything to return to normal. I read somewhere in real life maybe 10yrs? Regardless people don’t realize how bad things would be.

I remember my dad would always say that a society is only nine missed away from total collapse. With covid, inflation, war on the horizon and environmental destruction... people are starting to get hungry.
And lessons learned from major natural disasters has taught us that civilization has a shelf life of about 24 hours. And what we saw with the pandemic was serious hording and price gouging because people saw vulnerabilities and exploitations and fear that they were determined to either profit from or screwed other people to make sure that they had way too much to run out of particular items like toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
Hunger is the only thing to make us feel a real apocalypse that’s when people change completely
no civilization in human history has lasted more than 3 days with no food.
Hold on a minute....ITS COMING

They change in only a couple of days too. Civilization is delicate.
Its already here food stamps are slowly becoming unavailable to the poor. Wages are barely enough to eat and have roof over your head
I think most of us in the western world saw this coming but we collectively looked the other way, hoping it would go away. Also failing to recognize how fragile our bubbles are, is what made the reality check feel more shocking. We are to blame too.
'We' are not to blame. Blame the damn system! JFC. The system is has failed in the past, failed periodically over the last 100 years and will continue to fail in the futre.
@@ooXie1sh We are to blame too. It would've never gotten this far if the people stepped up enough. Therefore some responsibility is ours to own up to.
This is because we have come to expect good in our lives, before the end of ww2 the world was a very different place. Conflict everywhere, frequent famine, labor, hard times. For all of humanity this was the story, and we thrived.
Then it changed with the creation of the United Nations and NATO. Though it may seem like we thrive now, we are months away from complete collapse in 80 years, after 5,000 years of civilizations emerging and expanding.
Considering millions of people died denying that COVID was real, and the boomers have destroyed the planetary ecology so they can have two cars and a single family home, it definitely looks like people just never "get it" until it's too late.
The first episode of the new Star Trek show had a really insightful line when someone noted that the most common emotion among dying people is surprise. We all know we're going to die, but we don't want to believe it.

It's sad. We're living in the best period of human history possible. People from the past would literally kill to step foot into the 21st century. Simultaneously, we're living in the most fragile period of human history. *Everything* we know could collapse in our lifetimes, and that's a reality we have to accept.
If I could be a Caribbean pirate for one day. 😅
I used to be an optimist... now I call myself a realist. I fear for the future generations and cannot stand to think of what they will think of us. "If they knew what was wrong, why didn't they stop it?"
As individuals we feel as though there's nothing we can do, there is too much wrong in this system. "My vote doesn't make a difference."
Nobody can do everything; but everyone can do something. It's time to stop squabbling over the details and agree that something is wrong, and it is systematic. Only together can we truly make a difference.
Whichever race you come from, whatever political views you hold, no matter your job... you, your family, along with everybody else are not immune from the disasters we currently face as the human race. Corporations are not people, money is not free speech, and the people in the "owners club" do not care about us as long as we don't make waves and do what we're told. The "middle class" is a subjective fiction used to divide us. There is the working class and the owners. Roughly five people control more money than the half of the world combined. It is clear that there are powerful people that have pooled their resources and perfected a psycho-social, geo-political circus-like rat race for the working class. They sit back and collect interest and rest assured by the fact that, if needs be, they will be paying a portion of us (police and military) to kill or subdue the rest. That is if we ever manage to set aside our differences and demand systematic change. They have made it so you cannot go to college without going into debt that could follow you to the grave unless you join the military and become one of their pawns. National security is a facade that has been used to justify wars, entrap hopeless people suffering from poverty into making bad decisions that land them in prison, and keep secrets while billing the American people to pay for it all. The USD is at a 40-year low, but some people still think Trump was going to drain the swamp and save us. He was waiting for his second term, I guess. Wake Up!
We’re doomed. Nobody wants to be the one to limit profits and work in humanities best interest. We’re literally all going to die so the 1% can be so wealthy that you can’t even spend it all if you tried. Our government is pathetic and full of apathetic criminals.

I told people years ago that if our population didn't stop growing, nature would take care of it for us. This is nature's way. When a species becomes too overpopulated and destructive, Mother Nature reels it back. Think of it like purging a virus.

being in SF on that red day was amazing... It was soooo quiet outside, and so dark. I was at Haight/Ashbury and people were out in awe. I felt a little panic in my bones cause it was hard to know how to feel enveloped by Nature like that.
I watched a video recently about how human brain's capacity has shrunken over the last couple of millennia. One of the hypotheses is that our ancestors didn't need bigger brains anymore. The invention of a large-scale organisation /i.e., the civilisation/ allowed us to specialise in different fields of knowledge. If I understood it correctly, it suggests that a civilisation is more or less a bee hive, where every person plays their small part but hardly anyone knows what's happening around the nearest corner. No citizen understands fully what keeps such a society running - as that would be impossible to achieve. The society/nation/civilisation itself is a collective entity that runs kinda on its own.
Put the brain size aside, the idea is interesting. The specialisation and the distribution of production and services among many individuals ("masters" in their particular bit of knowledge/experience) could indeed allow us to "artificially" create a much bigger social structure than the nature/evolution has ever produced before. However, it can - in my opinion - deteriorate in a blink of an (historian's) eye. A collectice structure like this seems tu function only as far as the individuals in it - all of them, from top to bottom - strive to secure their real needs, so the collective as a whole enters an equilibrium of sustainability. Kinda like the proverbial Perpetuum mobile, which propels itself forward by simply existing. It is not the same, but can be somewhat similar to how nature works for millions of year. The sad truth I believe is that this can't be achieved unless the whole human species decides to do this together. As long as there are outer disturbances (wars, raids, power struggles etc), you need to protect yourself from them, thus breaking the "neccessity threshold", thus creating a whole field for exploitation, .... and it goes on and on until one final day, it collapses under its own weight. Like radioactive nucleus. Or stars that grew too big. It always amazed me how the most stable things in the universe are the simplest ones.
Strength tends to suffocate on itself.
I've actually heard the opposite, that average IQ of people has been growing steadily with each passing generation by about 3 IQ points. Which makes sense from the perspective that the modern world is much more complex and difficult to navigate than what our brains evolved for, that is living in small communities of villages/tribes. Also, IQ can increase over generations with greater access to healthier and more high quality food and improved social and economical environments.
@@skatesatgod-fusion2619 He didn't talk about IQ. Just the brain size.
@@wilsonmpesha904 "Brain capacity" is the term he used, which I think is fair to say implies intelligence. Or am I missing something here?

You don't get to be in the top 1% through doing what's needed for the greater good of everyone else. You get there because your own desires are your #1 priority.
That’s all that matters tho truthfully

Foreign investing has got to be one of the biggest reasons life in America is declining so rapidly. In my opinion, we shouldn't have as many foreign investors dipping their hands in so much of what we have. The ability to affect us or to control who comes here with their investments and what not. Like consider the ppl who buy up large developments, no one can stop them from sending over anyone they want to stay there for whatever reason. And we wouldn't know anything about them. We also have domestic sabotaging.
A lot of local govts look the other way because of tax revenue from foreign investors.

Candain Farmer here. The U.S.A. should teach urban farming in the curriculum. It's been taught in my reserve for at least 40 years. most young kids I know can run their own garden and most do in these times.
Sadly the US government probably wants the people to be dependent on them for profit in food so they’re not gonna be teaching it anytime soon nation wide
Realize that the USA is a corporate country and they’ll sacrifice everything for money. Any skills that’d rob them of profit is out of the picture. They want slaves, not individuals who can think for themselves.
@@iiraiyen that's why Canada rocks. You were born in the wrong place dude.
Wasn't taught but growing the green goddess gave me a bit of a green thumb. Running a garden isn't really that difficult to be honest. It should be basic human knowledge. I mean, IT IS, but in today's society it isn't 🤣
Also mapping dude. These kids are going to be doomed if GPS fails or gets solar flared at some point.
Schools shy away from anything remotely helpful.
I'm thankfull I wasn't born is USA. When I see what's going on up there I appreciate being born in Poland while most of people think it's 3rd World up here but in fact it's relatively stable and peacefull. No guns, no drugs on streets. As woman I'm not afraid to go outside at 1am. I can wear makeup or short skirt and no one is going to brother me. Our biggest issue rn is just delusional poloticians and war on Ukraine which we all hope would stop
Trust me if the US falls your life will change.. period
@@dloren6183 u mad? I didn't even wrote about US economics but guns law & people in general. School shootings, catcalling women on streets etc. That r the things I don't like and I'm greatfull it's not happening here and men in general aren't that gross and respect women
Except it's not really like that and that's just what the media potrays.
Yeah if you go to Miami, NY, Vegas, etc any big populated metro. Your chances of experiencing this are much higher, fairly high. Guess where all the "Democrats" tend to live, who claim they are the good people. I personally am non-partisan, but even I am tired of this BS narrative.
How is it that I live in a fairly conservative/republican town and yet you don't see women being cat called or harassed. Or even really have to fear for their safety. You see people jogging the sidewalks at all times of day, and there are night joggers. I see teenage girls out and about by themselves all the time just leaving the neighborhood.
We definitely have a rude bunch of old folks who's time is long gone but that's literally it.
Everytime there's been a robbery or shooting, it's some low life from another city/county hopped up on METH.
@@mad21a1 Also another thing to consider, that the media will not disclose or hasn't in the past. Literally almost all of these shootings were committed by someone clinically neurotic, who is medicated or was once medicated on Prozac, Zoloft, etc. The one thing they all have in common is that they were on or once on, anti-psychotics/depressants. Most of which having known negative side effects, which are common.
Our Government ignores this issue because THEY ARE PAID BY LOBBYISTS THAT WORK FOR BIG PHARMA.
Pump your citizens full of antipsychotic medication when they don't need it and see what happens. These are often people who just needed some guidance, or maybe just to talk out their issues to someone. It's all too common nowadays to not have anyone to confide in. It's almost shunned in our society.
Wow you can put on makeup an wear a dress an cant own guns! Wow I'm sure that will stop the Illuminati👁️ from trying to instill the one world government. You can ignore reality but you can't ignore the consequences of reality. But hey if you have the illusion of safety, that's all that matters right?
It doesn’t take much for society to fall and when it does fall, panic and violence takes over and then we are all well and truly fucked.
Maybe Charlies Manson's vision of Helter skelter is right after all. 🤣
Umair!!!!! I am looking very forward, if we make it that long, to watching this series.

Live your best life, one-day-at-a-time, and be a good person. Tomorrow is not promised.
Did they say “best and brightest” and “government” together? One of the reason why we are having so much issues is because of the government decisions
Your mistake is continuing to assume the government makes decisions with your interests in mind. The government is very effective at making decisions in their own sociopathic interests. They've never been richer or more isolated from us.
The best and brightest in my opinion would consciously avoid workijg in the government sector. The worst and most sociopathic would aim to work there.
@@aluisious that is exactly what ive seen and has been highlighted absolutely during the scamdemic

Rent prices are our biggest problem and landlords are the worst vultures who contribute the least to society while extracting money from their tenants that they do not deserve.
I’ve been a renter and an owner. What’s your solution?
You are a fool
@@RodderickPrinceParker not triple inflate rent for no particular reason other than YOU CAN. There already isn't enough housing for a ton of millennials and gen z because IT WASN'T BUILT for over a decade after 2008/2009.
Homes just began being built again after all that time, now they are being halted again. I actually know of a few houses near me being "built" right now that have been abandoned for months. Meanwhile others before it, were bigger and built in just a month. So now I have half built houses here and there throughout my town. Somebody went out of business.
@@tacticalmattress before I sold my home, my property taxes doubled over a year. My mortgage increased by 25%. All increases aren’t insidiously imposed by owners; though, some are gouging and taking advantage of the market.
I agree. Inventory is still low while buyer demand is still reasonably high.
Most of us are expendable in the eyes of the government. Hopefully it isn't a shock to everyone who they let perish and who they keep to rebuild a sustainable future....
Lol rebuild a sustainable future
Yeah bruh ur way out there. We’ve still got like 50 years 🤣🤣
One thing history teaches is that we don't learn from history.
We need more episodes of this please
I say daily to people,that the world is falling apart.I believe in my heart that we will not last the next 25 years

It's obvious by now that our future is looking grimer by the day.
“The grim truth we’re all facing is that the civilization who has mentally and physically tortured you as a slave.. is collapsing and setting you free” WOW IM SO SCARED.
What happened in Greece, Germany after ww1, Sri Lanka, Venezuela, etc. is happening to us. Inflation, unemployment, and food shortages is very real and the cause of many more bad things such as Nazism, Civil
war, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, facism, etc.
The only thing certain about History is that it's certain to repeat itself.
@@tacticalmattress history doesn't repeat but rhymes
i live in the mountains and have no phone. this is the first youtube video i have ever seen.
People constantly mistake the world “ending” for the world changing. Consult history. Cultures change. Technologies change. Empires change. The only difference between now and 500 years ago is the rate in which we expedite that change.
Some good ol fear mongering while every one is already on edge
Thank you for the update Vice !!💪👍🤘🇨🇱
The billionaires who built their fortunes fueling the collapse we have to live through ultimately know they’ll never have to suffer the consequences for the doomed future they brought down.
Well, as an older person here are some basic facts My wife and I have lived through. 1950's duck and cover, Serors. 1960's Chemicals in everything, free love, no morals, war, the pill. 1960's to 70's Viet Nam to get us out of a recession. 1971 Nixon taking us off the gold standard, gas lines, higher taxes, loss of families, welfare for everyone. 1980's take the money it is free, use social security for social welfare. Give the people I.O.U.'s. 1990's the birth rate is higher from single mom's married to the government. Higher taxes for houses, estates a paychecks. 2000's social warfare for everything, food cards, medical, taxes for paychecks, schools can't teach basic reading, writing, math. Blamed everyone and anyone for personal short comings, loss of belief in a higher power. Selfishness. People who use others to a mass large fortune's, drugs solve everything. Wonder why we are in should a mess?
I love how often the word "apocalypse" keeps coming up in news coverings these days. Oh what a bliss. Good luck to us all xD

Eventually every civilization ends up dying off. I'm sure The Mayans had this same conversation amongst themselves. Maybe a 1000 years from now another yet to be named civilization will also have this same conversation?
Yeah it’s how it works civilizations never last they always collapse one way or another and a new one for better or worse arises.

The rich have all ways like they are now, but the government has changed from protecting the people to themselves. That’s the real problem. That’s my two cents at least.
Dude you should read “Beyond Esoteric”. Like I’m so serious, the government wants us all dead and it goes into actual facts proving it
The government never protected the people. The revolution was about a bunch of rich land owners not wanting to pay taxes to the British, and the Constitution sets up the government to protect their interests from the majority of the people.
The government is just a group of people. People generally look out for themselves. Really isnt a surprise.
We need more of this !!
These two civilizations have been at war over a political dispute for 500 years and now the battle has come to its peak. The nebula glitters with a thousand sparkles, like someone blew a pinch of gold dust into the air. Each sparkle, ten thousand lives extinguished.

No matter what we say, people in the US still encourage mega corporations like Walmart or Amazon, killing all smaller businesses which created more wealth for the average citizen. Now wealth in the US is concentrated into the hands of a few companies with extremely rich shareholders.
Thus, I don't think this quote makes much sense. Most people simply select the option that requires the less effort from their part, no matter the impact
Get out soon is what I'm thinking.
Honestly there's so many other great places to live but it would be hard being born and American.
The guy who was first talking is right when he says things are falling apart was absolutely right,, look around the world right now, all at war.
