Books for coping with societal collapse

[Anonymous No.18795007]

Hey there, I'm looking for books that deal with the disentigration of life around us. I want a book that deals with the total loss of community, family, and faith. It can be either nonfiction or fiction but I've come to really dislike a lot of my fellow humans after seeing how they are so easily manipulated from COVID.

I will catch flak for saying this, but the only thing the COVID pandemic proved is that people are absolute idiots and that freedom has its limits. The amount of panic over having to wear masks and get vaccinated is truly absurd.

How much of that is just because of minorities? I wonder how a group of scientists without insane "antiracist" bias would analyze the situation. Blacks and hispanics are low conscientiousness, they can't even stop littering and destroying their own communities for example. They also have 10x the rate of HIV and other diseases because they refuse to use protection, and low IQ means shit like using masks improperly or not integrating "avoid people if you can" into your daily routine, because you're high and all you can think of is how you want some crisps. This seems like a killer recipe for keeping a low level contagion like COVID permanently active in the population.

I wonder what the real distribution of illnesses and deaths is between high conscientiousness whites, low conscientiousness whites, and blacks. I bet people who aren't retards rarely get it.

My nigger finally someone asks. What you’re describing is exactly what Soseki wrote about his entire life. If you’re fine with non weeb jap lit ( Soseki studied in England as the first classically trained Japanese writer ) then his ideas and feelings really resonate. He grew through the Meiji era and witnessed his country change from a feudal agrarian kingdom to a modern “ western “ state within his lifetime. Most of his books have themes of change, the clash of tradition and modernity, the death of the “ old ways “ all interwoven into narratives that focus on various people living in these turbulent times.

People in Asian countries wore masks before the pandemic just cuz. I heard it's also kinda like a privacy thing because you're on the subway in Tokyo and there are so many fucking people that plugging into some earbuds and putting on a mask is like a cocoon in a way.

But people wear masks during a pandemic and it's like omg the sky is falling this is the end of Western civilization. Well maybe it is, but maybe not for that reason, or maybe it is, and that's not entirely a bad thing.

You're correct, and they're doing this with a total active caseload of less than 1,500. In a population of 1.4 billion (how many new cases in Florida today, btw?). This is what taking covid seriously looks like. This is why China still managed to have positive economic growth in 2020 while the USA contracted more than 5%.

No, you fucking retards, everything in China has to be taken sceptically because it is an authoritarian dictatorship with no civil society and no independent media and it fucking lies.

For example, China has an official "no first use" policy on nuclear weapons but their leaked defence plans show that they actually had a massive first strike policy.

China fucking lies.

>"but maybe they're not lying this time!!!"
Now who's being naïve?

The accurate read on China is not arrived at by blindly believing everything you read, you fucking retard. That's why we have spies in the country and whole government agencies whose job is to intercept Chinese communications and read Chinese sources to try and build a real picture of what's going on in China.

The accurate read on China exists in intelligence agencies and university faculties, not in your 4chan posts or half-baked opinions. International politics is far too complex and far too secret for anyone outside the industry to have a fucking prayer of coming to meaningful conclusions about anything.

>"wow appeal to authority much????"
Appeal to reason. You don't know dick about anything and the longer you live and the more you study the field the more you will come to know it. Just look at the Cold War - what the average American "understood" about the USSR and what the intelligence community understood were wildly different. The same is undoubtedly true now with China. But because we the public exist in an information vacuum there is nothing to point to to correct the doubtless wrong ideas that you have, and in fifty years time when everything is declassified you won't even remember how stupid you were - and will continue to be stupid then.

In short mcfucking kill yourself.

So does America and they have over 10x the nukes. So what?

The rest of your points are stupid too. China as a society is not secretive. You can see their success and prosperity. They have abnormally high approval ratings for their governments - this is not propaganda, there is primary data from the 1.4 billion chinese themselves on this. It's hard to oppress that many people without there being visible acts of dissent - and dont mention CIA-funded HK as a rebuttal, of course the integration back into China was going to be messy. Look at the 99%+ of chinese who aren't in this one tiny area.

Again, the world is wide open now with the internet, checking these things out yourself is not difficult. The chinese are very happy, their GDP will surpass USA within a few years, they have over 5000 km of high speed rail, housing is treated as a necessity, not a commodity, etc etc. There is no good reason to say the average chinese citizen cannot be 'figured out' due to secrecy and barriers.
