We can make that happen. But it requires the hardest thing of all; unity and availability. Though, with things heating up the globe over availability won't be a problem soon.
How can we stop it from happening? Chain ourselves to the door of Infowars?
Anything we can do will take decades to change any of this shit. And we don't have decades until the ecosystem collapses and we all starve.
I meant the timeline, we can change it still. Things are about to nosedive. Not saying society will survive, but maybe humans won't die out. Infowars sale is already toast the judge is just deciding how to bank the onion. But there is still time to save things, not everything, but the main stream scientific consensus is still that there is time to mitigate damage, best of luck these next five years. Thats probably all we've got and its barely a billionth of a heartbeat of life's history
I think its going to be like the end of the roman empire. Society will collapse, there will be lots of death and suffering for a long time, things will stabilize and we will rebuild and the cycle will continue. Its how civilization has run for basically all of time.
