Dude. We all saw this shit coming. A blind man could have seen this coming.
Not really. Perhaps people could foresee some dissatisfaction with Trumps presidency, but this article is talking about a longer trajectory, as in building towards all out civil war.
I don’t think that’s a generally held opinion amongst americans.
In fact it’s quite common, most people I know were expecting civil war when the turd won the second time.
most people I know
Is that a sample from which you can derive statistically meaningful data ?
It’s larger than 1, which is the number of people of people the article is holding up as some kind of Cassandra.
Well the sample size is probably sufficient, there’s obviously a bias toward woke folk though.
Not right then, just inevitably. As we are seeing lol
Unfortunately not all of us saw it, and some even still vehemently refuse to accept it
You might’ve seen shit coming, but most Americans just don’t want to accept that the world they’re used to is crumbling. It’s annoying af.
you can say anything is just beginning and there’s no way to prove you wrong

Every “scholar” has been predicting the downfall of society since the beginning of time. What makes this one any different? The old “end is nigh” gambit for views and clicks. We need news to come back, not conjecture. Jack Webb said it best “Just the facts, ma’am.”.
His paper has been published on Nature… this because everyone can say the “end is nigh” but few people can come with mathematical models for showing it 🙂
I mean, one of them is bound to be right eventually…
Yeah this “scholar” is just every millennial who was told to sit down at stfu by every adult in our lives even now that we’re the adults it hasn’t changed
While it would be nice if the US is occupied with itself granting us a needed respite, I’m not getting my hopes up. West Asia and North Africa will be a very different place if the US leaves, but like the British Empire it won’t leave until the very end.
It’s a long, long way down and there’s no climbing back so wave bye bye
Tl;dr: buckle up, buttercup
Great. Here’s hoping this round of instability meaningfully undermines the Great Satan.
