      Remember the Dark Ages?

      Things can actually go back, A LOT, if a collapse spreads to a broader society which is weakened by massive inequality and incompetent power elites fully in pillaging mode, were it becomes structural.

      And don’t get me started on what happens to a nation that’s the dominant nation of an era, at the end of their Imperial period, which is where the US is at the moment.

      It’s just very unlikely to happen in the lifetime of anybody (so people are prone to the falacy of thinking “this will never happen”), but definitelly happens as History shows us.

      Will it get that bad? No idea.

      Can it? Absolutelly.
