This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

You can to an extent. Misinformation (e.g. the shit antivaxxers believe) can be prevented by providing quality education to the masses, but that has been diminished by the right for years now, and recently by Trump in particular with his drive to eliminate the Department of Education.

It could also be addressed by restricting the spread of misinformation through broadcast and social media, but surprise, those platforms are all controlled by the right as well—even directly tied to the current admin like Xitter or Trump's own Truth Social.
