The bailouts demonstrate that climactic politico-economical collapse will never occur.People literally will make shit up in order to prevent the unimaginable. This is also the fundamental lesson of Hobbesian theory of state of nature. None of that to say we aren't undergoing a process of collapse. It's just that it's trajectory of decline is going to be very slow and incremental. The environment will probably collapse before we legitimately experience politico-economic collapse. Some people can see the winds of decline and are taking the self-sustainable route since relying on government guaranteed quality of life will kill you first (for a long time now the governmental allowed corporations to do us physical harm). The real question is: are you one of those people?
