Once again reality has a left-wing bias. Societies collapse when porky gets too good of a deal.

By societal collapse I am hoping they mean popular revolution bc that would go hard.
Decades are happening in weeks rn so it could be soon lol
At the rate cost of living is rising and wages aren’t, yeah.
I hope so too. I’m sick of working a half decent job and having fuck all at the end of the month.
Looks like we’ll be seeing the living conditions of a Charles dickens novel in real time! We won’t even have to visit museums anymore.
It was the best of [revolutionary potential] times, it was the worst of [material conditions] times.
Everything under the sun is chaos, the situation is excellent 
Kind of the same sentiment
Annoying ass Mr Bean voice
We did it Joe
hmm, more money to the cops!
Has there been an example of a societal collapse in history, that was not due to an outside force? I guess eastern Rome maybe. I guess I just can't imagine a country falling into disarray without it being America's fault in some way.
Yes, usually from climate change and agricultural practices: Sumer/Akkad, Indus Valley, Late Bronze Age (Mediterranean), Norse, Angkor, Maya, Cahokia, Tiwanaku, and probably many others.
Syria is the most common modern example, but clearly there were other factors at play too including the US.
There was a similar study in Canada last year I think.
yup
