Great Cataclysm

Name: Anonymous 2017-01-31 9:24

It's pretty obvious that the future cannot happen due to unsustainable advancements in technology. According to scholars, this is to be expected as everything moves in a cycle -- human civilization cycle (from first settlements to collapse from unsustainable advancement) is 10,000 years. At which point the great cataclysm comes to cleanse the Earth and begin us on our journey of pointless growth again. We are reaching that point shortly, so what do you think that cataclysm will be? Jew mind virus? Sun pulse? Great deluge?

Society in general can exist without blame, but fascism cannot. It's all about telling the people ``you need to give up your personal freedoms so we can fight this threat against our culture". But if that threat is gone, the people are going to ask what justification the government has for continuing to deny their freedom. Same thing happened in the USSR, the government told people that full Communism was always just around the corner, and it would arrive if only the people would make more sacrifices and work harder.

And a class system isn't some magical solution to societal instability - everyone who gets the short end of the stick will be susceptible to radicalization. Communism and fascism too had a class system where ``people knew their place", but that didn't mean everyone was satisfied with it.

That's not a solution. If you don't kill all of them, the people are going to ask why you're letting them continue to ruin the country. If you do eliminate all of them, the people are going to ask why their lives haven't improved, and will eventually blame the government. You can try to prolong the conflict, but if it takes too long and the people aren't seeing the changes you promised, they're going to be inclined to overthrow you. That's exactly what happened in the USSR too, the government promised a Communist utopia, and people were willing to believe that for a while, but when it didn't materialize after decades of sacrifice, they lost faith in the government.
