No, I don't mean that. The new dark age is sweeping across all America and the world. However, it's more visibly accessible and apparent in the urban locations documented. A few years ago, it was noted that life expectancy first began falling in rural counties in the red states.
Or international war and grid shutdown?
These are the best answers I can come up with off the top of my head. I think they all say basically the same thing.

Accomplished individuals decrease and principled persons are marginalized as people turn selfish and hedonistic. In the end, law and order break down, commerce declines, and people fall prey to society’s lowest elements. When those who hold communities together, whose duty is to safeguard against corruption, become corrupt themselves, a nation disintegrates from within. A common denominator in such cases is Jehovah’s people forgetting their God (Isaiah 17:10-11).aeden wrote: Thu Dec 16, 2021 5:49 pm "Sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinishable from evil."

Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity - The most important insight is that stupidity is essentially a moral failing more than an intellectual one.Higgenbotham wrote: Sat Mar 24, 2018 7:22 pm My thesis is that a Dark Age scale population reduction can only come about through large scale individual moral and institutional failure.
I think it has to be, at its root, an ethics problem. There are a lot of commonalities to, let's say, the pervasive belief that it is acceptable for an institution not to be Triple A, not to have pristine credit. It's become acceptable, even considered preferable, not to be or exhibit pristine anything on both an individual and institutional level.
I especially love Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity.
