   While I always caution against people thinking of collapse in Hollywood terms that you'll wake up one day and it will be Mad Max outside your door, the anti-collapse arguments boil down to "lol we'll just reindustrialize" as if industrialization wasn't a decades long process the first time around.

     @LouisConde Kinda hard to reindustrialize when your under-40 population lacks the skills needed to run a factory and has been decimated by decades of state-sponsored drug abuse

     @LouisConde And the process of industrialization itself was horrific

     @sparky @DW2 20-50 years is my point though, anti-collapse people think you can just flip a switch and get all the steel mills running again.

     @DW2 @LouisConde I don't actually think it would be that difficult to re-industrialize. We still have all those books and instructions, we still have about as many white folks as we did the first time, and I am not really all that convinced that the opiod problem is any worse in terms of net dysfunction than alcoholism was circa 1880. Smart retooling the tax code and education system would probably get us there in 20-50 years.

     @LouisConde @sparky @DW2 the problem is that even books come with a ton of assumptions. They assume the gauge of your steel, they assume the composition of the steel, they assume the thread pitch of the bolts.. etc etc etc.
     
     Some cases, things will work.

     @sickburnbro @weaf @LouisConde That ain't the half of it. The main thing nobody wants to confront about the industrial revolution is that the country was flooded with proto-beaners. Italians, Irish, Polacks, kikes, Russians, Balts, Balkaniggers, and other assorted eurotrash by the tens of millions came flooding into this country.
     
     Know-nothings, klansmen, Lothrap Stoddard, Madison Grant, all this shit was popular for a reason. These people were tremendously dysfunctional for decades. They were also brutally exploited by kikes and perfidious yankees. They didn't become "white" until after WWII when we had to confront the negro menace.
