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.".

Dude. We all saw this shit coming. A blind man could have seen this coming.

you can say anything is just beginning and there's no way to prove you wrong

chunes@lemmy.world ‘s reign of terror is just beginning.

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.

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 ?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 8 points 8 hours ago

It's larger than 1, which is the number of people of people the article is holding up as some kind of Cassandra.

[–] ctrl_alt_esc@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well the sample size is probably sufficient, there's obviously a bias toward woke folk though.

That's the problem. You're hanging out with too many "MuH vIoLEnT RevOlUtiOn!!!" types. If you want the system to fail, of course you're going to see every reason why it would fail.

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Not right then, just inevitably. As we are seeing lol

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

Tl;dr: buckle up, buttercup

Great. Here's hoping this round of instability meaningfully undermines the Great Satan.
