      10 years ago, it was a night and day better world state.

      Even Trump 1.0, the worst thing in the world at the time was the ISIS threat. In Trump 2.0, We live in a world with

      • WW3 Basically in its opening stage in Ukraine, Russia is pretty much fucked, but NATO is fucked too now that the US is run by someone who hates it
      • Post Covid destruction of the economy
      • The billionares have turned megalomaniac and wormed their way into government ears
      • The US had an attempted Coup, the person who organized it is now the POTUS. and the people who participated in it are on the streets
      • the gradual increase of uneducated stupidity through social media and MSM TV Brainrot.

      We’ve basically been in a spiral towards armageddon this decade, the 2020s are BRUTAL compared to the mid 2010s.

      And the trend has only accelerated since. Especially now that the fascists are implementing Project 2025 with frantic haste.

      Just like with climate change, the fact that they hardly ever get the timeframe stated in the headlines right doesn’t mean that the emergency isn’t real.

          Nope. As I clarified in my edit, the exact timeline from the headline is usually wrong and never the point.

            so it should read “something might happen eventually, we don’t really know and we are probably wrong, so maybe just ignore this”

              Nope. It’s DEFINITELY happening. It’s just the sort of thing that’s nearly impossible to predict the exact timeline of. It could be as soon as a year from now and it could be in fifty.

              Either way, the problem is real and worsening NOW, which is the second best time to do something about it.
