I bet they thought the same things in the Roman Empire.

the bronze trade could NEVER collapse. The near east is reliant on our manufacturing capabilities, and we're reliant on their raw copper and tin. It's too big to fail!

Natural disasters and riots happen all the time

everything lasts forever

2 didrachm have been tossed into your amphora

Except societies collapse all the goddamn time. It happened in Japan back in the middle ages or their equivalent, they have an entire fucking period of their history known as the Warring States era where small-time feudal warlords just fucked everything up. Rome fell. The Greeks did, too. It happened in the Middle East not so long ago- things were (relatively) stable before Israel came about. It's happening in Venezuela right goddamn now. Mexico is on her way, and tensions are ramping up in wealthy western nations, too. We'll probably slide into chaos a lot slower than all these other examples, though. We're richer and have more and better systems in place to prop the whole thing up. Shit, it might not even be in our lifetime. But western civilization is a thing, and all things die someday. In any case, I would rather be ready for SHTF and not have it happen than be caught unprepared if it does. Provided we do our duties correctly, our children will inherit our knowledge, skills, and equipment, and they or their children will be prepared when the day does finally come.

In all likelihood, you're probably correct. It costs next to nothing to think about the potential and very little to prepare for it. So...stay mad that I keep food, water, medicine, and weapons. It does not matter to me at all.

You are literally.the other side of the same retard coin. While there never will be a mad max esque world to dick around in, nations, throughout history, rise and fall, with varying degrees of suffering.

Peaceful times are an anomaly, states of unrest are actually the norm.
This era is lasting for a long time due to global propaganda soothing us and the relative comfort most of us still have. But it's due for some time soon-ish;
The bigger they are...

that's right. With the fall of the USSR, we are living in a neoliberal "new world order" of democracy and free trade, marking the end of history and the beginning of a new and eternal era of peace, understanding, and unprecedented wealth.

What is supposed to be happening at the end of this time for each country? They all still have money

>Some doric classical age bullshit
Fuck outta here with you commodity currency, real ionic greeks barter with real things that hold real value.

I like the anons who talk about how Civil War II will happen if guns are banned. No one's going to do shit, because it's happening in small stages where people won't notice what's going on

the bronze age collapse didn't occur due to any facet of the literal trade in bronze

unironically this.

Rapid technological progress for ~250 years has facilitated a massive global increase in living standards and even more massive population increases. It has also facilitated, without much short-term consequence, the upper classes to make a lot of very awful decisions that will someday come back and fuck us. Their hope, I guess, is to either have died of old age or to use their wealth and power and rootless cosmopolitanism to pick up sticks and go wherever in the world is nicest for them when the locals finally have enough.

Either the march of technology continues apace and delivers us the promised neoliberal utopia, or more likely, everything goes absolutely to shit in like 20 years and we spend the following several decades picking up the rubble.

?

really stupid. Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and Britain all still exist, mostly in the exact same forms as they did at their respective heydays. Their systems of government have changed, but the state remains, the culture remains.
Hell, for most of these the literal ruling system remained in place for hundreds of years beyond the timeframe. While in France's case, the state went through 3 major revisions all within the timeframe pictured

so what does this even show??

Cline and virtually all of academia disagrees with you. Sure, it wasn't the only thing that caused it, but it was a key part of the systems collapse.

Are we circling the drain?

It really is a garbage chart that only "makes sense" if you know nothing about the subject and make no effort to further research the information being presented. It tells you the poster is either intentionally deceptive or too stupid to know they've been duped.
