      History repeating itself like a carbon copy.

      It’s not supposed to happen this fast. There are supposed to be centuries and several generations in between until humanity forgets the atrocities and repeats their mistakes. It’s like, as soon as eyewitness’ are getting scarce the world acts like it never happened.

        The fascists never forgot, nor did they ever stop, they’re just not afraid again.

        We’re speed-running the Roman Empire RTS game, and we are killing it.

              This is probably the best answer. If he crosses Nov 5th with a win the Republic is fucked.

              Rubicon is the river Ceaser crossed as the no return point before taking over Rome. COVID was not that point for America.

                Source? Loss of faith in institutions. An election of incompetent candidates. People literally sacrificing themselves for political ideology. Toilet Paper hoarding shows the greed inherent in the system. Price gouging. Supply chains revealed the fragility of the capitalist economy. Inflation begins and indicates the new normal. The dissipation of pollution during COVID added solar radiation to latent heat increasing climate warming. 2020 was the Rubicon. Climate change will increasingly exacerbate the global economy leading to a destabilization of governments and civil unrest and wars. Am I missing something; was it when the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup?

                  If you’re going to edit a comment after I replied to you, I’m not even going to bother entertaining reading your edit. Be a normal person.

                    I edited to give my reasoning. Did you not want evidence?

                    For COVID not being the Rubicon. 2019 was the last semi-sane year globally. It’s only downhill from there. Oh, I forgot Ukraine and Israel, the genocide in the Sudan. Global crop failures. Deadly wet bulb temperatures.
