@Morghur @IlDuWuce @lovelymiss We’re on the same wavelength, I think.
The situation looks bleak, but there are quite a few glimmers of hope. It’s apparently likeliest the rulers still hate each other more than they hate us.
All the old “evil geniuses” have been replaced by their idiot heirs, with no-one really understanding how it works, or agreeing about, well, much of anything beyond “White man bad”, “Jesus bad”, “Power good”.
They blew their load with the vaxx, and there really wasn’t a decisive back-up plan.

By most conceivable metrics, when shit hits the fan, the most we can expect is a bunch of new borders and a lot fewer people. The End is *always* nigh - just like it’s been for nearly 2000 years.
