>>99423128>one of the most serious things to happen since WWIIone? is it really ONE of the most serious things to happen since ww2? it's not ONE thing, it's a projectile clusterfuck of things that made its impact on the fragile walls that are our concept of reality sometime around 2013 and we only just noticed when people realized that holy shit, we have a reality show star for a president, we have a reality show FOR a presidency
everything u put up there - that's just the West for the most part, except for ethno-nationalism, which is big in the east, too: the chinese under xi, the indians with their hindutva, the pakistani and their general lunacy (i.e., a prime minister getting ousted out of office for the use of the calibri in a document), the japanese with their glorification of war criminals, and russia with its bizarre society run by fox news style government propaganda
not to mention the slow motion death of the arab world

in the war of the crusades, the saracens WILL have the last laugh apparently, choking on their own blood, as europe turns into a fascist, isolationist monster, going back to its previous balkanized form in some kind of hideous bizarro version of the eu, egged on by russia and its own politicians - there'll be camps in italy for anyone with any speck of brown in their skin, and the rest of the continent may very well follow suit
meanwhile, china's turned into a black mirror episode, after creating an empire of tribute states in africa and southeast asia, which is what the chinese teach their children as having been the natural order of things since the days before the white man was even a reality to these people - their only competition now being japan after the second korean war makes both koreas collapse, with north koreans flooding china, and south koreans flooding japan in a humanitarian crisis that makes the syrian one look like freecell
