Of note is that the names of the article skew Jewish, and are described as liberal. Someone once noted that, in mating and migratory patterns, liberals are indistinguishable from members of the Ku Klux Klan. That is the only mindset that would predict liberals would choose locations that are beloved by various factions of the right - Poland being praised by the dissident right, and Israel by the evangelicals and neocons. [I have even considered the option of bugging out to Poland.] Those are the places the liberals most berate as being racist, evil countries that won't let third-world Muslims pour in through open borders... yet that is also where they seek safe haven. These locusts engage in an endless cycle of subvert, destroy, migrate, just as fleeing Californians have flipped Colorado and are working on Texas. We can see all three stages of the Liberal Locust lifecycle in action. And so, they seek out the last white refuges on the globe: Israel and Eastern Europe, not realizing that they are quickly running out of healthy hosts.
The right is, if anything, more apocalyptic than the left. Everyone I know realizes things are getting bad, fast. Even many voices on the right, who are otherwise liberals besides their concern for left-wing irrationality, warn of dire times, including Tim Pool, Stefan Molyneux, and Jordan Peterson. Pool has outright declared that we are headed to civil war, and that he has a bug-out van ready to escape the New York metro area.
It's not just in the realm of politics and culture that alarm bells are sounding.
Climate. The global warming people think the climate is about to destroy all humanity, but people on the other side of the issue are making dire predictions as well. The Grand Solar Minimum people - whom I listen to - suspect we are entering into a new cold spell, similar to what was seen in the late middle ages. They base the prediction off of historical climate data, rather than the unproven theory that the small amount of carbon dioxide generate by humans will trigger eternal global warming by water vapor.
While both sides strongly diverge on both cause and effect, they may actually share more in common than they differ: a compelling sense that were are entering a period of climate chaos which will have terrible effect on human economies and agriculture. Recently, both AOC and Joe Biden have made comments to the effect of preferring truth over facts. They have been ridiculed for the comments, which is fair in the context that liberals are always trying to hide from objective reality. But, if we give them some benefit of the doubt, they may be correct in some sense. I believe humans have some collective 6th sense about what is to come. They feel it, can't explain it, and look to the world for the answer. Thus they see different causes to the same strife. In politics, the right sees third-world invasions and the left sees white nationalist violence. Both are interpretations of the Balkanization that will be coming to America sooner or later.
Finance & Economics. While there is always someone, somewhere claiming the world is coming to an end, there are enough signals these days to be concerned. There has already been one major bank failure, which has largely been ignored. The Fed has lowered rates, despite a supposedly strong economy. The stock market has soared far higher than improvements in economic performance should justify. And, of course, the whole world sits on mountains of debt and unfunded liabilities. For most people, the question isn't whether the financial world eventually implodes, but when. It is likely to occur at the least convenient time.
Famine. Climate fears are accompanied with forecasts of starvation. My concern is that our modern food supply system is brittle and sensitive to supply shocks. A disaster in any of the other segments could result in food shortages.
Infrastructure. Western nations are already having trouble keeping the lights on, even in the major cities. Do not trust anything to work in times of even minor disruption.
The takeaway is that there is a shared sense of doom, across multiple domains, and among people who viciously disagree with each other. There is a full-spectrum alert of an impending perfect storm of collapse. I believe that it will take failure in just one area to send the others spiraling as well. While my own instincts are frequently faulty, a society-wide sense of foreboding should not be ignored.
