As our own two channels of #braincell-factory and #braincell-morgue have evidence of a great number of boogaloo and collapse memes. Most of us appear to be on the same page when it comes to these issues. We should all be ready to go for the shit that is coming. While there is nothing wrong with being prepared, it appears that many people either consciously or subconsciously legitimately want a collapse to happen. The number of people like this has increased greatly since the beginning of 2020. This is easily shown in the youtube comment sections of the song "Keep your rifle by your side" from the video game Far Cry 5. The setting of the video game is in a post collapse society where a violent cult has taken over a county. While I do not believe the people that have been identifying with the song also identify with the violent aspects of the cult, they identify with the idea we have to protect ourselves in an increasingly chaotic world.
Why do I bring this up? The desire for a collapse is a strange desire. We have been in a fairly stable society for the past 70 or so years. We have reached heights of wealth no previous generation has seen. Even in an economic downturn and pandemic we are better off now than 100 years ago. Specifically this year we have seen massive increases of depression. And many people feel as if they are no longer in control of their life. Humans crave control. So we naturally go to avenues where we think we can establish control over our lives. This is where the ideology of a pro-collapse comes from. Those with this mentality see a collapse as a return to a more simple time. A time where the individual has more control over his self and his community. Individuals like this know they can survive and thrive in post-collapse society.
Therefore, these people are ironically looking for control and stability in a situation where most normal people see nothing but death and doom.
