There unironically, genuinely are retards, who believe that societies with computers, internet, social hierarchy different from all the hierarchies ever before, global trade, egalitarian meritocracy stronger than ever, and education orders of magnitude better than any in the last millennium, will randomly "collapse" because some people are "hedonists", despite this "hedonism" being part of entire history.
The same retards probably believe moronic idiocy like "hard times make strong men", despite it being proven wrong over and over, with hard times making russians and niggers rus and nig, and all progress being done in countries with most egalitarian and "hedonistic" structures.
