Dystopian Examples

The examples listed below are intended to provide glimpses (and nothing more) into the various ways in which 'collapse' can manifest itself; they are not considered 'universal predications' however, as is often the case, events of the recent past (or present) can provide more concrete / less hypothetical examples of what may come to pass when patterns and trends are repeated elsewhere.
