By Peter McMahon, published 4/3/2020

We all have our problems, but I doubt that many of us are living this nightmare. Western civilization is definitely on the way out; bit it's going to be gradual and relatively peaceful - experienced by as yet unborn generations without our memories, and without any incentive to resist. Wound up by the coronavirus, the author is acting like the mad, ignorant poor bastards clearing the supermarket shelves of tinned goods and toilet paper.

Excellent overall assessment of the situation that we are in.

And, contrary to ttbn it is correctly posited by some people who study these things that there are various earth-system "tipping point" triggers and scenarios which could accelerate the catastrophe (do a search on the topic).
I would add that the collective human psyche which is now in a state of global psychosis can also create various "tipping point" triggers too.

This essay describes the intrinsically destructive nature of the much vaunted Western mind and the universal Scapegoating Drama at the root of Western culture (in particular) which has created the situation:

And once again the 100 or so summary statements featured in this reference provide a very sobering assessment of our situation. And various statements/callings re the necessary new ways of thinking etc.
Note the content of the first statement (1-1). Curiously the author also pointed out that the old order died on the 23rd of July 2006 - that is why the number 723 appears on the flag featured on the cover of the Not Two Is Peace book

This essay points out that there is hardly any civilization left any more, and also describes why.

A couple of statements worry me.
"China and Russia have showed how capitalism can thrive under authoritarian rule". Is this a call to adopt Communism and / or autocratic rule over democracy? Every day thousands seek to enter and live in the US whatever it's faults. I don't see anyone looking to get into Russia and China to live.
"China, Russia, India and even Europe talk about a new world order". Absolutely! Xi wants a new world order where China control the world. Putin wants a new world order where he owns everything. I don't know about India but the European model is one where the technocrats control and own everything. Ultimately these three intensely dislike opposition, dissent and freedom of expression.
Peter McMahon could do with a walk in the park on a fine day. He seems weighed down with negativity and too ready to let fear dictate his view of the world.
Who was it who said "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself".
