There seem to be about six species of collapsitarians:
- Luddites, anarchists, and anti-civilization activists (see The Unabomber Was Right) who are trying the hasten collapse as soon as possible.
- Goldbugs, survivalists, Y2K holdouts, and slightly right wingers who see collapse as the penalty for modern liberalism.
- Conservationists and greenies who see collapse as the penalty for environmental sins.
- Somewhat leftist anti-globalists who see collapse as the penalty for globalism.
- Critics of American super-power who see the collapse of America as an inevitable imperial overreach. Many are native academics, many reside outside of America, many are prominent historians.
- Former financial employees who see nothing good in, but no escape from, this doom.
