The president added that he has “instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

    Only because you’re living thru this one, which is the same logical fallacy as when 2,000 years of Christians have all been convinced Jesus is coming back in their lifetime, and so will the next 2,000 years of Christians.

    Shit that’s happening around us currently always seem like a bigger deal, because to us it is, because it’s happening to us right now.

    Zoom out and start thinking as “humanity” and not “I” and none of this shit is really that new.

      Yeah but I’ve lived through several others that never felt this big - Y2K, Mayan calendar, lots of smaller groups or religious zealots, probably other shit I’m forgetting. I think the big difference was that none of them possessed the means to bring it about themselves if they were sundowning. Which is a distinct possibility this time around.

        Y2K

        Y2K was a real thing that was going to happen if an absolute shit ton of people hadn’t have fixed it…

        And how many Mayan’s did you know who thought the world was ending?

        Like, none of your examples are the same thing, you don’t understand this but don’t want to ask questions, so I’m not sure why you even replied.

        If you don’t want anything explained, I can makes sure I don’t accidentally do that HIn.
