RJ is a guy who makes YouTube vids I watch. He put forth the preposition that we are going into another "Dark Age". This has been repeated in history at least twice before. After the Trojan Wars with the Greeks and then again with the fall of Rome. A volcanic eruption is most likely responsible for the one before the Golden Age of Greece.

Lots of people are withdrawing from society nowadays. Making homesteads and the like.
The stupid are incgharge of the machinery that makes society run. People are being forced or willingly becoming brainwashed. More and more people are narcists and socio paths. Plus many other things to be added to the list.

So, the collapse of society to the point of stagnation is a possibility. We can only speculate on how a Dark Age comes about. Smart people take care of and look after their own. Stupid people tend to need others to live. The pseudo intellectuals can't exist without others who can produce. Thus the stories of attacks on villages and towns to steal food and such.

As the curse goes, "May you live in interesting times". Well, these 'Times' are interesting, to be sure.

being a christian i believe we are in pre rapture, pre tribulation times and i put the tribulation period within 30 years.....dark days ahead...try and find the silver lining in the dark...

Isaiah 60:1- Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
