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 ?
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.
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.
What? That's not what woke means. Aside from that, every sane person would want a system with Turd at the helm to fail.
Hey actively hates ML here, for once the bastards ain't wrong. Even my largely offline friends can practically feel it, we're hoping for a Soviet or Yugoslavia style break up since us being on the West Coast would keep us a good bit from the immediate blast radius. The Great Basin, Sonora, and Mojave are great buffer regions.
Not right then, just inevitably. As we are seeing lol
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.
Your reign of terror is just beginning
You’re breathtaking
Aww thanks ❤️
Unfortunately not all of us saw it, and some even still vehemently refuse to accept it
Tl;dr: buckle up, buttercup
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.".
I mean, one of them is bound to be right eventually...
But that doesn’t mean any follow-up predictions they make or solutions they offer or even explanations they have are right.
It’s the Texas sharpshooter fallacy we commit every time we point to an expert for making a correct prediction and using that as a reason to trust anything else they say. This is because countless experts make predictions all the time and if we ignore all the wrong ones then we need to account for the fact that one of them may be right due to pure chance.
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 🙂
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
It’s a long, long way down and there’s no climbing back so wave bye bye
Great. Here's hoping this round of instability meaningfully undermines the Great Satan.
I enjoyed listening him when was interviewed at this podcast https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/164-peter-turchin
His methodology and arguments are quite reasonable and sounding.
I would recommend
Doomsday cults have been around forever. Goes back to the Puritans. This isn’t new.
There were apocalyptic Jewish sects for thousands of years before Christ. Heck, John the Baptist was an apocalyptic Jew that Christ respected. That is why there's even a reference to the apocalypse in the Bible. I personally blame the bronze age collapse, and the green Sahara ending.
Right but I’m talking about the roots of America, and the first settlers who influenced where America is today.
