Wow, I have a similar experience but the relatives are slightly different. I live in New Zealand and also have not met anyone who takes what I say seriously, though many at least have the thought planted.
As we are constantly told that building community is key, I find this extremely difficult to do. I’m not a natural organiser or leader but the neighbours I’ve talked to about this have smiled and gone on with their lives. Luckily, I still get to talk to them.
I sometimes think I’m chipping away at my family, though there has been so much family heartache there that it’s hard to get the message through. However, they are half the world away so I haven’t been ostracised yet! I just had my saddest moment with my own family; my son has probably read as much about this stuff as anyone except myself and should be starting to approach life differently but he has just bought a 55 inch 3D TV for the rental he is sharing (and they already had a big TV). Not much more needs to be said there. I just shake my head.
Not sure where to go from here.
I’m not so sure about our kids and grand-kids picking up the bill, financially speaking. Do you really think some semblance of the kind of society/economy we have now will go on long enough to avoid a fairly substantial collapse, where the workings of our societies will be very different?
Whilst is is reprehensible for those who do believe in that near miracle to apparently lumber future generations with overbearing debt, I can’t really see that scenario playing out. Sure we’re almost at the precipice now?
