AIBU to think more and more people are believing in things like NWO and end of society as we know it?

It used to seem like quite an unusual belief, but I hear more and more people mention it in passing now, and especially online (even mumsnet) I’ve seen a fair bit about it.
Is it just me or do other people know more and more people who are expecting society to collapse?!
I imagine it’s largely due to how quickly things changed with Covid… we could never have imagined in 2019 what 2020 was going to look like…

I don't know about NWO but I'm expecting society to collapse soon from climate change, I would say this is common.

I agree with @TreeSmuggler, there's no getting away from the climate crisis at the general state of the planet, mass extinction etc.

To be honest in my corner it has little to do with Brexit. It has got much more to do with the destruction of the public sector and idealisation of the benevolence of private companies and capital. The destruction of any idea of ethics in favour of "values" built on greed, extortion, exploitation of others. The collapse of the social contracts, employment rights, various other rights and wages that enabled people to earn their own way in the world without having to rely on family connections. The breakdown in social communications so that "the other half" are not only living in a different world, but unaware of the existence of others. The collapse of trust and social cohesion everywhere. And, more than anything else, the collapse of any sense of being part of an ecology: the slow destruction of the environment and its capacity to support life. If a nation cannot feed itself its people are dead.

These things have been threatening for some time. Warnings have been coming regularly since way before the credit crunch.

Climate change has been creeping up on us for decades, we can't carry on like this no...

My guess is not so much as a collapse more of a joining of various nations, until years later we have the one world government, which basically seems an overall better idea, for when humanity makes contact with other planet's in other galaxies,

Example in point, planet tolan, wants to give x technology to the British government, and then the British government restricts the study of x technology to x partners, then other governments learn of this and then how long before they go above diplomatic channels to gain the knowledge ect, better overall to have a one world government.

(Note to self: Don’t jump onto the net last thing at night and rush into things ) not Brexit, COVID. All COVID did was expose a fragility that had been deliberately built in to enable huge profits for a few.

Good points.
I think I’m just always surprised that it’s taken a lot of people this long to be afraid of climate change, it’s been giving me nightmares for ages!

I wonder if people just feel more openly comfortable talking about these things now because let’s face it some really hard to imagine things have happened!

YABU. People have been banging on about "The end of the world is nigh" for as long as there have been people. Lots of stuff in the Bible about it, etc. I remember a lot of people being very stressed about Y2K in 1999.

Not saying climate change etc isn't a massive crisis, and of course it's scientific fact that the world will one day end, is the sun going to explode one day or something I can't recall? But I don't think more people are stressed about it than usual. And while Covid has been awful I'd much rather live through England in 2020 than attempt to live through England in 1665.

I know real people that I care deeply for who have gone down a NWO/great reset maybe even QAnonesque rabbit hole, its very frightening... They however, do not believe in climate change
