POV: You’re living through late-stage empire collapse and didn’t get the memo

Don’t panic. Just observe. These aren’t predictions — they’re recurring motifs.

How to Spot Empire Collapse 101:

1) Everything speeds up. Laws, narratives, emergencies. New crisis every week. You’re not supposed to keep up. You’re supposed to give up.

2) They can’t walk it back. Once the machine overreaches, retreat = weakness. So instead: double down. Gaslight. Accelerate.

3) The vibes get culty. Purity tests. Loyalty oaths. Suddenly everyone’s a traitor. Even their own. Especially their own.

4) Censorship ramps up — and gets sloppy. The control grid starts glitching. Bans feel arbitrary. Truth becomes algorithmically unstable.

5) Key support structures start shaking. Media. Military. Finance. Faith. When one falters, the illusion of control falters with it.

6) The memes get too good. Satire spreads faster than fear. Dissonance cracks through the facade. Clownworld becomes diagnostic.

7) Someone says “It’s gonna get worse before it gets better.” And for once… they’re not being dramatic.

Watch the money. Watch the defectors. Watch who suddenly admits half the truth.

Because once one pillar goes? The whole thing starts to sway.

Not saying it’s happening. Just saying… these are the signs if it is.
