Societal collapse is something we thought we only see in the movies, but has taken a more realistic turn these past few days. Outright societal disintegration is largely depicted in television and movies as things like zombie outbreaks, nuclear wars, and infrastructural eliminations. But what about the inklings? The ‘surface’ collapse; something that is potentially not as obvious, but just as dangerous.
I can’t help but recall not only the pitiful events of the recent presidential ‘debate,’ but also the news events following. Specifically how Trump supporters want to repeal the 19th amendment because if only men voted Trump would win. Societal collapse? Hard to say. Again it is a far cry from our nation literally disappearing overnight like the Mayans did, but for morality's sake - what does this say about our fellow Americans? Unfortunately my demographic leaves me at a disadvantage; I can hardly relate to struggle, let alone the true implications of this moral abomination.
Our society may have things like infrastructure, wealth, and freedom that dwarf other nations, but examining ourselves more closely we - at least I - find we are in the midst of a moral apocalypse.
