I think that you focussmore on community. “Societal collapse” will probably be more like societal restructuring.

Empires falling is mostly only bad for the ones controlling the empire. Yes, things might get harder, but humankind will prevail and continue to find joy. Probably more joy in a post-capitalist world than I will in a capitalist one. Maybe it’s not my child who will enjoy that society, but my grandchild. But I have something to give to the next generation.

You’ll have to become more focused on community as the empire falls. but family is one hell of a community.
