Just shows again what a horrible shitshow this society we've built is. Your survival and well being shouldn't depend on having to win a birth lottery and being born in an affluent nation vs a poor nation. There should be no affluent or poor nations, just one planet where every single human being has their needs met.
We could easily do that, by having a cooperation based society without money or hierarchy, that operated on scientific analysis more than anything else, not on opinions and the pathological greed of some old fucks with more money than they know what to do with.
Instead, we're just going to self destruct as a species to protect the greed of a few. Good times.
Rule 1: No glorifying violence.
Advocating, encouraging, inciting, glorifying, calling for violence is against Reddit's site-wide content policy and is not allowed in r/collapse. Please be advised that subsequent violations of this rule will result in a ban.
Learn psychology, learn history, learn anthropology, learn linguistics, become a polyglot with the big 4.
I've spent my life doing these things, and they've given me the capacity to not only see the scale of the psy op's being waged right now across the internet and traditional media, but enough skill to be able to do it better myself if I ever were to become completely evil and apathetic.
Maybe this will help someone, somewhere.
Climate and economic migration have hit the point where people who’s African descended ancestors were forcibly taken there centuries before are now finding people trying to escape desperation by boat and being carried by the same currents to the same shores, only dead.
This is collapse related because crimes against humanity are starting to converge and areas are so in-conducive to human thriving that tragedy is now occurring an ocean away.
It shows that as the number of refugees increase, things will become even less planned and more grim.
It is also a warning to people in SIDS of what their fate could be.

You shall know them by their works.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Disturbing story. It doesn't matter what your country is you are on a sinking platform, by migrating you are just jumping on another sinking platform, the world is ending and the lucky ones are those who will lose last. I don't want to bother to call them lucky nobody is lucky.
COMPLETE SIMPLIFICATION at this point. A blend of more old than new. Everyone has a phone or ipad to last them for life with fixable parts. No new shit, one central internet and all that
Am I the only one who found the specification of black men to be crude? Black seems more to refer to the US's "race" divide. Do people in Africa identify as black? Or just from Africa?
