Elijah OneHot take: post-apocalyptic fiction is so popular because people desperately want to live lives that aren't yoked by capitalism, but are unable to even conceive of such a thing happening without the world ending first
Twink Simulator, Extraordinare@ELJ1 because the world has to end first. The system and the systems that sustain it must collapse and when they do, everything else will be brought down with them. And then together we build something better and new.
@ELJ1 we can't continue to stop short of destruction out of fear.
