Idk if it's copium but if the usa goes to full shit do you guys think Mexico would be a place to move to? My family originated from a small rural village and it doesn't have to pay taxes considering it was owned by someone else and that deed is practically to some unknown person or gone (from what I understand). I can see maybe living a humbler life down there if my family sells everything and with the money it could be possible to get solar panels, some solar powered batteries and be able to grow my own food. Maybe I'm coping or something... Idk

Ok don't laugh at the idea... But do you think animals experience NDE's? What makes us humans capable of experiencing NDE's and seeing such vivid visions? Does it simply involve being conscious? Or does the being have to have some sort of more complex intelligence?

Hey all, I'm a young Gen Z'r and I've become a bit more aware of how the world is getting less and less stable thanks to factors that are outside of my control and I wanted to ask for advice? Anything ranging from newbie friendly books for prepping or even how to prep in certain areas (urban, suburban, rural, etc). I might start out with just buying some rations, where I have to ask: is there any alternative to Amazon? I don't really wanna support them by buying rations from them, so if there're any alternatives, I would love to know them!

This is all about fear, what I fear the most from collapse. I fear seeing people turn on each other. I fear the screaming and arguing for food supplies and water. Fear that it goes from shouting to fighting. Fear about seeing a body drop and all hell breaks out. Fear being caught in the chaos and being trampled out losing consciousness and never waking up. Or maybe I prepare in time, get sufficient food and rations, then my home gets invaded and my family gets taken out. Fear of losing my mother, father, brother, sister and every person that I care about. Being bludgeoned and beaten and left to rot in a riot from people I see as brothers and sisters. Or living and killing losing my mortality bit by bit losing my soul and asking the Lord for forgiveness. Fear starving and arguing with my family back and forth bargaining with each other to eat what we found telling each other: rather I die, she dies, he dies everyone will die in the end in soul, body, and mind and being forgotten by time. Fear being captured by some fascist pigs and separated, working all day till I have nothing to give. Fear being shot by some drone or blown up never getting a NDE to see me away, no smiles of reassurance from my mother, fam, and friends.

You know this is pretty cringy, but I don't care. Just wanted to write some of the thoughts I've had.

Please excuse me as this is my first time posting here. When the time comes and I pass, will I have the privilege of experiencing an NDE? I've heard how people have had peaceful visions of passing on and seeing every single loved one. Now from what I heard it seems to be implied that it's the brain hallucinating but please do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm scared that my NDE will be nonsensical as I have Autism and ADHD and I have a hyper imagination. Will I be able to have a peaceful hallucination/Vision? I'm scared of just everything going black.

I wasn't the best person to have lived, I have done some horrible stuff and I probably don't deserve that experience but.... I just want to see everyone again once I die. Then whatever awaits me can come, even if it's punishment for what I've done I'll be at peace knowing I saw my loved ones again. Thanks to anyone who responds to this message.

I've been meaning to get around to this rant/ramble since a bit back so I guess here goes. It's weird. Like, really weird how we as a species are capable of inventing computer chips, rocket ships, medicine, and all that, yet we can't fucking understand that pumping constant carbon into the air will heat stuff up.

Yes! Big Oil propaganda exists but that Bs can easily be debunked with simple logic, we pump carbon into air, the carbon is hot so it heats the air up, that wouldn't be an issue if we didn't constantly cut down entire forests down that ABSORB those emissions.

What I'm tryna say is that we are both brilliant yet stupid. The common populace (including me) doesn't sit back and THINK about the consequences of our actions. "Global warming? Bah but I need to drive to get to my job! Electric cars are too expensive!" Yes! That is true but we should protest to have them be affordable! Demand that we shift to cleaner alternatives! If those big oil companies are soooooooo desperate and worry about their wittle bitty profits, can't the government just let them shift to cleaner energy without them having to invest in it?! We bail out corpos on a daily basis for their dumb mistakes but when it comes to above I wouldn't be opposed to it!

Like all these issues: War, climate change, food shortages, economic inequality, sexism, racism, etc wouldn't exist if we just listened and coexisted together and loved each other. But no, we are too monkey brained to do it. I see such WASTED potential in our species. And I believe with all my heart that the reason everything is the way it is because of a few people who weren't born right. Psychopaths are running this world and we have been fooled into letting them do this. Since perhaps the beginning of time they have lived among us and have fooled us into these scams (religion, hierarchy, currency systems, banking, etc.) so that they could take control and convince us that we NEED them.

That couldn't be further from the truth. And sadly we are now paying the price for these parasite's stupidity. I hate them. I hate those billionaires, politicians, bankers, and all corrupt POS that brought us here. I acknowledge that part of it is our fault but they are everything that is wrong with humanity and they have infiltrated these positions of power.

It's crazy to think that all this bad shit that is happening is because of some genetic fuck up. Quite literally because a few people weren't born with the parts of the brain that are responsible for sympathy and empathy. It's really an existential thought that brings me despair. That's the reason why everything is the way it is. Just some people not being born right.

I can't enjoy anything anymore, not walking, not gaming, not hanging out with friends, nothing. Nothing brings me any joy. Walking makes me realize all the sights are enjoy will be gone when I'm dead, same with my friends. Gaming was something I enjoyed but soon realized maybe it was made to distract us in purpose. To waste our time not thinking about the state of the world. Same with all forms of entertainment.

"If we give them bread and the circus, they won't revolt" Well I've seen behind the curtain now and I'm not fooled by it anymore. Made me mad as hell seeing how people rioted and broke shit over a fucking team losing in football. If we put that same energy into things that truly mattered maybe shit wouldn't be so bad but I guess some guys kicking a ball around is more important than our planet literally heating up.

I know this is unorganized and sounds whiny or something like that but I just wanted to vent to people who might get me. My mom and therapist say they get me but it sure as hell doesn't feel like it. My mom is convinced that the consequences of climate change won't affect me or her but the future generations; claims that it will take "multiple decades" for all that shit to happen. If only she knew. God part of me wishes my entire family and I were born way earlier so we didn't have to live through the collapse, but I guess we all were born at the wrong time.

I don't really have any hope left or ways to keep pushing through. I keep crying and breaking at night or randomly and I admit it's exhausting. But I can't stop. What fucking future is left for me? What future is left for the poor kids of today? Can't even look at em with crying or thinking "I fucking failed you guys".

Had a relative visit over my house to celebrate my sister's birthday and they brought their kid over. She was super sweet and was quite curious for a 6 year old and it took a lot of power to not break down while interacting with her.

I want to say so much more but I've decided to stop. 30 minutes of typing an incoherent mess is surprisingly a time killer. Maybe this message might be deleted by the mods for being so long idk anymore. Just wanted to let out my rage and sadness out here. If you took the time to read this rant, then I thank you. Thanks for listening to my little whatever you call it. Might make another venting post that is more direct with my fears. Thank you all and have a good night, morning, and afternoon wherever you all are.

I'm terrified of dying. I finally get it now that I was privileged. My parents were both immigrants from Mexico that came from nothing and worked to give me and my siblings a future. My dad busted his ass off day and night while my mom was a stay at home, and now? Now I realize how much my mom and dad loved me and how fucking hard they busted their ass to give me a life they never had

And for what? For me to be ungrateful and almost throw it away. I could have lost it all and now I realize how privileged I am. How lucky I am to be able to see, hear, breath, taste. To be able to eat edible food. To be able to drink clean water. To be able to play all the fun video games I played. To be able to smell the flowers. To be able to breathe the air around my city. But now realizing this, I'm scared of losing everything. My beloved mom, who always fought tooth and nail to get accommodations for me (I have autism and adhd) and always was kind to everyone. My dad, despite the alcoholism and trauma he's caused, worked to get money and food on the table. My brother, who I love and want to reconnect with. And my sister, who I want to connect with.

I love my friends too, I'm scared of losing them and never hearing their voices, same with my family. Nuclear war, food shortages, the undeniable impact climate change will bring this decade, the parasitic rich pricks that rule the world and hate us. All this will end the world. Matter of fact seeing all the posts of everyone saying climate change will kill us all has me crying. I've been crying for a month straight after realizing that: I might die alone, I might die a slow agonizing death. My family might suffer and die from whatever shit happens. And the worst part? I don't know if I will ever see or love them again once we all die. I'm scared I'll never see my friends again, or my dog, or my family. I finally realized how beautiful this world is; how beautiful reality is. It isn't that the world and life is painful. It's the assholes who run the world that make it the way it is.

I'm fucking terrified. I'm terrified of all those beautiful memories I hold dear to be forgotten. I'm terrified of losing consciousness after I die and never having those memories back. I'm terrified of losing my precious home, where I grew up. I'm terrified of seeing people and children suffer and hurt each other; I don't want to see people suffer. I'm terrified of being forgotten and for my family line to be forgotten. I feel guilty for never getting a girlfriend or hell even birthing kids so my parents can know the joy of being grandparents, and yes, I know bringing kids in this state of the world is bad, but that's what makes it so fucking tragic: me and my parents being robbed of knowing such joys because of some fucking rich psychopaths who can never know the limit of having enough money.

I wish I could express my fear and pain more concisely but I decided to do it on a wing because I want comfort. I know this place is the last place to look for it, and maybe I'm deluding myself. But I want to know that everything will be alright? I want a future. I want to help people. I want to atone for past mistakes I made so that when I die, I don't die with regrets. Please. Anyone. Tell me that there's a light at the end of the tunnel for me and humanity? I don't want to die. I don't want humanity to die. I don't want my family and friends to suffer and die. I don't want my precious memories to disappear into the void of nothingness. I want to be with my mom forever, I never want to be alone, better yet die alone. I love humanity and my loved ones. I'm sick and tired of seeing people fight each other and not realize the real enemy is tricking us to hate our fellow humans. I want a future.

Call me weak, call me pathetic, I don't care. This post might go into the void and not be responded to at all but I needed to write my emotions out, even if it's not even close to all of it. Please anyone tell me it's all going to be ok? I want to be with my family forever... I don't want to die and be in a void or be reincarnated without my precious memories of my previous life. Can anyone please give me some hope? Hope that I can get my psych degree despite being 23 and be able to save lives? Will I even get that chance? Or will that too be robbed by this fucked up capitalist world we live in? Please someone give me hope for me and my beloved family.
