What do you think "everything collapses" entails?

Everything is already collapsing and it has a good fifty years more collapsing left in it before there's even a dent to human population levels. If a final collapse is coming, it's 200 years from now when the last climate-controlled habitats run out of solar power and humanity goes extinct, along with the vast majority of species on earth.

Or do you mean a political collapse where American institutions break down? Already happening! And it has at least two decades of collapse left, even at full-tilt monarchic fascism. Rs will sweep the midterms and change the constitution, Trump will rig 2028, and then declare himself king before 2032. Around the same time, they'll purge all the brown people and queers, just like the holocaust. Are we going to start the revolution from inside the walls of Alligator Auschwitz!?

Right now is the best time we have left for a revolution if things keep getting worse. And now is a fucking awful time for a revolution! The revolution will be much easier if El-Sayed and the DSA take over the Democrats and shut down ICE. So that's what I'm working towards.
