personally, i think if some sort of apocalypse happened, we wouldn't immediately collapse and get set back hundreds of years wrt technology, infrastructure, etc. it's not like every engineer, doctor, construction workers, etc. are going to also be wiped out. and even under the constant pressure and threat of capitalism, people go into these careers wanting to do good. (depending on how the apocalypse is started/how it happens) there would probably be a few rough years at first but people are really good at getting their shit together

#also idk. this might be putting too much faith in people. maybe we'll just create fallout irl #if this all sounds like nonsense i got 3 hours of sleep and im running solely on adderall and coffee (:#new argument for keeping physical media: knowledge being preserved if the internet and most computers get destroyed #and yeah there would be several attempts to rebuild capitalism but look at how at the beginning of the pandemic people got a slight taste o #freedom and realized what they were being deprived of. like i watched a lot of people i know get 'radicalized' in real time #unfortunately only one i know took an interest in communism while the others are just radlibs :/#and also knowing physical skills like sewing. gardening. basic chemistry. food preservation. and hunting would help #ive thought a lot about this because the adults in my family constantly talk about what theyd do in the apocalypse #the real answer is dying of cholera or dysentery if they insist on the individualistic isolationist route #also this is not me thinking that once the weight of capitalism lifts everyone will automatically be cool with each other and build a utopi #my main point is that i dont think we'll lose Everything #these tags are so long im so sorry
