it's not a future apocalypse, or the past—it's ongoing. so far we've lived in it. writers wrote about it to live within it. what is underlying, what is, has been, is being destroyed, may be what survives us—or helps us to survive—the apocollapse. colonialism was the end of a world for the people who were killed or occupied. yet the world didn't end with death or occupation though it brought death and disease by conquest. the occupation is almost complete, yet it isn't finished until it takes everything. and still, something will survive, there won't be nothing left, what remains will be indigenous. this is the current phase of the apocalypse, the pandemic collapse. in pandemic reality we're the occupied, we're all indigenous though we may not think. we might survive to witness the ongoing apocalypse and still rise in the collapse. the rich will fall the farthest.
