the least environmentally conscious countries are not the capitalism ones

Shh...It’s peak and I’m hunting logic
Sure you want us to imagine this. But the truth is that capitalism spurs innovation. It creates amazing things not just for comfort but for advancement of necessities as well. This apocalyptic future you speak of has been lived out by every attempt at socialism so far. Ask an old Soviet how comfortable their cushions were when everyone around them was starving.
apocalypse is not unique to one economic system
we just need to find one that works
Capitalism works. Just not to your liking.

I’m doing just fine in a capitalist society
it doesnt work. its in a bubble like US housing market was. and then it will pop.
And the weak companies won't survive, forcing others to run better. Things crash, and they build back up again. Natural business cycles. The system you want holds everyone back, stymies progress. Can you tell us the great innovations that came out of communist countries?
no no civilizations collapse entirely.
We've been capitalist for quite awhile. We've gone through many boom/bust cycles. Civilization isn't going to just collapse. For that to happen we'd have to have a huge natural event, like a super volcano erupting or a huge meteor strike, or we'd have to have an all out nuclear war. Stopping capitalism will just make most people poor.
civilization will collapse by 2040 according to MIT. theyve predicted this for some time.
part of the reason is nuclear war as well. capitalism will bankrupt govts.

Educated idiots.
seems perfectly reasonable; the world is trending down
People have been predicting the end of the world forever. We were supposed to see the end decades ago. When 2040 comes and goes the goalposts will be moved yet again.
or it will happen
sometimes people predict things and they happen
you even agree nukes are a risk. so you half agree.
Anything CAN happen. But you're predicting the collapse of civilization because of capitalism. There's nothing that indicates that.

nowhere special
He expects the collapse of communism which is the collapse of civilization to him.
