Ah, the wonderful prevailing argument sweeping the internet the last few years: “that looks like something else, so it must be that. Let’s disregard sources and science. Everything must be what it looks like.”

Here’s a source explaining what happened since I guess no one taught you keyboard ninjas how to do actual research.

Canon Richard Sewell, the dean of St George's College in Jerusalem, told the BBC that about 1,000 displaced people were sheltering in the courtyard when it was hit, and about 600 patients and staff were inside the building.

There was, but then it got blown up by a rocket. I suggest the opposite: we all take more mushrooms.

Who is the “they” you’re referring too? From the title I guess all people are too heated up over climate change for you? (See what I did there ;) I am absolutely a climate activist but I for sure have a chill mode. I’m not violent and all I do is try to educate my friends and family. If we don’t address climate change we will destroy the world that’s a fact, so to me it is THEE most important issue. (FYI- thee actually means you, it’s not a stronger form of the like you’re using it).

All 3 smaller conflicts you just mentioned were all in Europe, and mostly (Spanish revolutionaries and nazis) were perpetrated by fascist. Again I don’t really see the similarity between the 1930s in Europe and the 2020s today. Maybe you could say the Yemeni war is similar to the Spanish civil war in that it’s a proxy conflict- though spains civil war didn’t last as long and had fewer foreign players.

The Japanese even had the anti-Comintern pact of 1936, the precursor to the tripartite pact, that really drew the lines of who was on what side. Again, aside from Russia and China bolstering relations I see almost no similarities between the conflicts happening now, and the Spanish civil war, the invasion Czechia and Austria, and the annexation of Finland. (Well I guess the last one is Russia invading it’s neighbor again, but no one would say wwII started because Russia invaded Finland).

That’s exactly what Einstein said about quantum mechanics.

If you think wwIII is going to start because the ECOWAS bloc is entering Niger I have good news for you- it’s not. I’m not sure I follow why multiple military conflicts prove wwIII is coming. The WWs were not an amalgamation of multiple small conflicts. They were larger theaters of war all interconnected, not disjointed like the Ukraine war, Yemeni conflict, and Niger coup are. You’re not really fear mongering, but your fears for the start of wwIII to be born out of any of the wars right now aside from the Ukraine one doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I like it but i feel like the T. rex in the first one would still absolutely annihilate you.
