Is a full on collapse or civil war realistic in the near future for the US? (lemmygrad.ml)

I’ve listened to the Poor Proles Almanac and they’re basically left-unity (anarchist) preppers. Their information is probably useful either way, though. I just started listening to It Could Happen Here, and the first episode is pretty cringe. Robert Evans is anti-Assad and thinks a Syrian civil war type scenario could happen here. He praises maidan coup fascist protesters (without mentioning their fascism or US backing). And of course, he thinks a collapse could be soon in 2019 and a lot of crazy stuff has happened since, but no civil war. I’ll keep listening critically to see if he has anything decent to say, but not looking good. As the empire crumbles and climate change gets worse is a collapse scenario realistic?

One thing I'm wondering about with that, is what happens when the US public becomes too poor for Hollywood to market to them? What happens when foreign markets are their only target, because Americans don't have the money for movies and tv anymore?

I can't really imagine a US public that isn't constantly glued to the tv, so I have no real idea what such a thing would even look like.

Maybe that's why the streaming services have started to strongly encourage viewers to go back to pirating.
