do you really know how bad things are right now have you ever sat down and followed the trend lines of recent events uh to see where it all leads or are you still too caught up in the day-to-day needs to get through right now with little time to spend on looking at any bigger pictures have you taken the time to really look closely at the underlying causes of everything that's happening in the world right now or have you embraced feelings of Hope and denial as a way to cope with a very uncomfortable reality it can
be a touchy subject for sure but taking a good look around these days it seems like the world is ending and the collapse of civilization is at hand that's a pretty dismal thing to consider right maybe even more so if you haven't already become aware of the collapse bearing down on us and that's what I'm going to talk about here today collapse awareness the knowledge that the end is near and the realizations about why that is uh there's actually a lot more to it than it sounds like um across the spectrum of such awareness there
are many different views of what collapse really looks like on a global scale and while I wouldn't say that any of them are wrong I will say that they can be a bit conflicting and misunderstood one of the most misunderstood parts of collapse is centered around the speed at which it happens in doing a little bit of research you're going to hear a lot about how collapse is a process not an event and how things will just gradually get worse until it becomes really bad and that is kind of true up to a point and
we're at that point things have already been getting gradually worse for quite some time now uh in case you haven't noticed look around you wherever you are right now just take a look around and you'll see it you know this already isn't the world you knew five or six years ago this world is a vastly different place and while we did get here gradually over quite a few decades these last few years have made the acceleration pretty damn noticeable in short this isn't where it is beginning this is the end game that we're seeing right
now so what is coming will not be gradual okay this next decade at the absolute best will be the last one the world sees with our civilization intact in its current form so strap in get your helmet on tight and grab something solid what we're experiencing right now is bad as it seems this is just our initial entry into the final stage of collapse uh what comes next is the rapid descent after overshoot has catapulted us clear over the cliff that's the real [Music] show hey everyone this is Chris and you're watching Wasteland by Wednesday
uh coming to you today from my new studio space which is uh something of a work work in progress um so anyway back to our subject I'm sure you remember those old Looney Tunes cartoons uh where one character would be chasing another or running from something and they wouldn't be paying attention really and just run right off a cliff it was usually such a shock to them that they just kept going for a bit further but then they would feel something they would notice that something had changed and they would look down and have a
split second to realize that they were about to fall all the way to the bottom and then the game that's where we're at right now that is the feeling that you have lately that you can't fully explain the unease the confusion about things happening in the world the empty pit in your stomach and the strange unnamable something that keeps gnawing at the back of your mind uh it's the drop it's under your feet already we have overshot the cliff and you haven't quite seen it yet but you're starting to feel it and look around and
soon you'll look down and then and I can actually identify with uh one of those cartoon characters a lot these days Wy coyote you know I I understand how he feels I understand wanting and never having nobody falls off more Cliffs and he does and he never gets what he's chasing so hard and for so long uh many of us today are in the same situation you know running off the same Cliff we want things like a cool career and to own a nice home in a pretty neighborhood to go on fantastic vacations and we
want to retire and grow old and watch our children have kids of their own and we want to see the the whole promise of the life that our grandparents had laid out before us but that isn't our reality okay we've done a pretty good job of denying it for quite some time but when we look around today I think most of us could admit that it just ain't happening um I know we don't want to and most won't at least publicly admit it but take a look around look at the world watch the news you
know car ramming attacks and mass shootings people robbing trains like it was the old west again uh climate fuel disasters and chaotic weather uh steadily increasing political divisions among both people and Nations economic upheaval and trade Wars and tariffs and looming recessions across the entire West systemic problems across every facet of civilization from infrastructure and communication to healthc care and food production we got war in Syria war in Ukraine war in Gaza and Rumblings of War across the entire International Spectrum uh we got bombs and drones and missiles being tossed back and forth across Europe
uh we got the United States talking about annexing Canada and Mexico while China is saying out loud how they're ready and willing to fight all comers in the next World War oh and Germany's rearming again along with all of Europe and we're taking that as a good sign somehow the Western European industrial base is being strangled by energy scarcity but we still got to get those tanks rolling we got uh we got heat waves and droughts on one side of the United States and polar vortex storms bringing blizzards all the way down to Louisiana on
the other side uh we just had entire neighborhoods in the middle of a city like Los Angeles burned to the ground on live TV while the fire department could basically do nothing against those forces oh and remember the 1.5° of warming that would signal uh signal our loss to the forces of climate change well yeah that signal went out loud and clear uh we passed that Mark faster than an Olympic sprinter all right chaotic weather is about to really start tearing up crop yields pretty soon uh guys things are a damn mess okay and while
I hate to be the one to in your soup things just aren't going to be getting any better this is the beginning of global societal collapse for real that isn't something that any of us can just avoid or insulate ourselves from okay there's no more getting back to normal there will be no return to the way life used to be this isn't an avoid it kind of situation this is one of those uh the only way out is through type of things um what we're facing is a resource scarcity driven ecological and societal systems collapse
that will spawn the next great conflict uh the first world war of the nuclear age and I think we can all imagine exactly how that'll end so if you want to begin given hope that uh is contrary to that well I'm sorry this isn't the channel or the video for that there's plenty of other prepper channels that have great content and I watch a lot of them myself learning never stops and I highly recommend that you check out as many as you can if you aren't following them already there's a lot of information out there
that you'll need and I don't have it all here for you what I do have is a no message the collapse of civilization is coming and if you can't see that from what's happening in the world around you then I hope you'll hear it here we have some time yet um not much but some and we all need to use it we need to get as prepared as we can for collapse I'm not selling you anything here okay I I don't have a warehouse full of products or an online store to direct you to and
I'm certainly not one of the rich guys that are making a a living offs spreading fear okay I don't want you to fear I want you to get yourself so prepared and so ready that you don't have anything to fear any longer at all that's what collapse preparedness really is so I'm really going to start trying to uh expand this channel now uh I do have to walk a fine line between opsc and information sharing when it comes to my own uh prep group Community most of whom are not exactly thrilled about me making videos
in the first place but whatever uh I've gotten myself ready I've gotten my friends and family ready and I have separated myself from a lot of the limitations most people have placed on them by society and in doing so I freed up my time and my money mind in ways that I want to share with others so that they meaning you can do the same thing I want you to be out there fighting to prepare for collapse and not worrying about your job or some bills okay but it all starts with one thing acceptance you
have to be aware that collapse is coming and you have to embrace that fact because really if you don't actually believe that collapse is imminent then you probably won't be giving it you're all preparing for it that's a pattern I see many traditional Preppers stuck in right now a lot of them are slowly starting to come around and even some of the more levelheaded and relaxed uh voices in the online emergency preparedness Community are starting to sound a bit more strained uh but still the overall full realization hasn't really kicked in yet for most you
you have to commit to it for real collapse preparedness to work you have to be single-minded about it and really devote yourself to the goal of being prepared this isn't a storm that is coming that'll eventually pass or an earthquake that'll stop soon and allow building uh it isn't even a war that'll be over someday with new nations built on the old at least not for us in our lifetime this is to put it simply the end of one world and the beginning of a new one okay think about it this isn't just like making
sure you have enough food to last until the stores are restocked and it's safe to go shopping again this is the end of stores and the concept of shopping for the rest of your life this is a permanent transition to a life where you have to either find or make everything for yourself and there isn't any real way to call in help with that Beyond those uh those few people who survive to rebuild alongside you in your immediate vicinity hopefully this is a collapse prepper community that you spend time developing but I want you to
be ready for all that I want you to be able to see it coming and to brace for the impact I want each and every one of you that's watching this right now to have the very best chances of survival possible uh to get through the collapse that's coming that's why I do this that's the only reason I do this so keep that in mind when you watch my videos okay remember that when I say things that uh seem quite different from what others in the preparedness space usually say I'm doing so because I'm looking
at the issues from another angle uh from the perspective of collapse and the end of civilization uh that means I prepare for some things a little differently than the norm and I think you should too all right I'm going to be doing a deep dive later into the uh underlying causes of the collapse we're facing and a hard look at the science and data that points to this Grim conclusion I hope you will join me for that in the meantime thanks for watching the video and if you could take some time to like And subscribe
it really does help the channel and all that good stuff uh but until next time stay safe and stay ready it's a wasteland out there
