Past and current leadership has done as much as they can possibly do to make sure that the collapse is slow. A lot of anons incorrectly assume that there will be a quick crash, when everything points towards a slow lingering decline into a regressed industrialized state.
>competency crisis
They can't do much about this one without going back into the educational institutions and rebuilding them from scratch with near modern pre-infection advancements in psychology and neuroscience. What makes this much worse is that there is also a competency crisis when it comes to professors and teachers, who do not understand that a lot of what they were taught in terms of teaching and training people is actually outdated and ineffective. I think the only reason why we were able to build a system that worked in the first place was the sheer degree of societal trust and moral and ethical pillars in pre WW2 institutions.
Somehow back then, teachers and professors just trying really hard to do a good job while being buttressed by traditional classical and Christian morals and ethics seemed to be able to produce valuable citizens that could set more advancements in motion.
The plundering and parasitizing off of educational institutions and the political tampering to create propaganda centers have completely eroded any previous existence of such safeguards. Its not just about creating propaganda centers, it is also simultaneously about plundering students of any wealth that they would have been able to build off of their education and creating a bloated educational administration that serves both the goal of plundering and the goal of social engineering. The effects of the competency crisis are widespread in every single industry.
To the point that many businesses do not want to invest in workers who have college educations, or if they do they themselves are already highly compromised and view it as a badge of honor to have been indoctrinated and a pre-requisite for workers to enter their company culture to have already gone through programming and conditioning. Just depends, really.
OTJ training is much more common than it use to be, that is for certain. That's how you can figure out if you are entering a compromised career field or not, if they want an associates that you can get from community college, that's a green flag. That's probably a pretty solid career field, but if they want a fucking bachelors or higher, and that's a filter for them- it's not worth it. You're entering a den of hyenas unless its a STEM career field- but the STEM career fields are being targeted via H1B and the variety of other work visa programs.
Community college is where real education happens, for the most part IMO. Community college and OTJ, or technical schools where there is no room for propagandizing students. Those are the last vestiges of actual educational advancement.
So if you think about it, that's what we got. All the really big, highly important industries depend on a compromised educational pipeline that is producing shittier and shitter workers that are less and less educated on actually doing their job right. It's worse than just diversity equity and inclusion, every single student is compromised.
Real education is a practical fusion of theoretical learning and practical application, hopefully buttressed by a code of rigid ethics that no one is allowed to deviate from that propagate societal trust and cooperation among people at all levels. However, even the theoretical aspect of learning has been severely damaged.
To answer the main question posed by the thread: there will be no quick collapse, just a continual downward trajectory of brazilification and degredation, both in infrastructure and every vital institution that we rely on, be it government or private- it will continue to slowly slide into a more regressed state than it was previously without any final big drop or fall- there won't ever be a full drop into chaos. Once chaos is properly normalized, that's when the actual anarchy will begin- we've already seen anarchy, we just haven't seen it completely normalized.
The collapse is here when going outside and trying to work your regular job requires a fucking AR-15 strapped to your back and full battle rattle, just in case local gangs decide to pop your tires and flip your car so they can steal all of your shit. When the police forces are incapable of enforcing any kind of order or producing any kind of fear in the common man for the repercussions of any action they might think about taking. That is what the collapse looks like, it looks like poorly maintained supply chains, stores that are under constant assault, normalized burglaries with multiple individuals, normalized car jackings- not being able to live your life without being ready for combat at a moments notice.
