I don't know how relevant this is now, but here's a link to another post where I expressed my thoughts on what kind of pitfalls you might most likely face -- https://lemmy.world/post/36867409

By the way, what is this phenomenon on Lemmy? Let's say people are reluctant to read and comment on old posts published just a couple of days or a week ago, but with new ones, it's a completely different story. What kind of psychology is this? Or it seemed to me?

I said in a comment "hey why not universal healthcare and also ubi" and this nutcase yelled at me for over a week about it. I wasn't going to bother with defending the idea since I was just asking "why not" and they were calling me lazy, entitled, and stupid.

Well, these are tense times, so people can be extremely aggressive, but if a collapse happens... Oh, people would become barbarians.

Oh, people would become barbarians.

The billionaire class has already hired a barbarian horde of ICE Agents to bang at our gates.

In a serious economic collapse, circa 2008, we're going to see what happens when those barbarians can't extract their tribute.
