| Judgmenl 10/24/20 8:35:49 PM #9: | I don't know if comparing it to 9/11 is a good idea. They are two totally different kinds of events. 9/11 ended the "golden era" of 1997-2001. It had huge impacts on foreign policy and global dynamics that are still being felt 20 years later. Coronavirus is a huge, destabilizing event, but not when it comes to foreign policy. We do not know the lasting impacts, it has at the very least caused an event that rivals the great depression of the late 20s and early 30s. Peoples lives have fundamentally changed, and as a population we are largely ignorant of this. If we end up gong to war with China over this (which I doubt)? Yes it will be a huge fucking deal. If this, compounded with the Uyghur genocide (which we REALLY need to interfere with) cases a next wold war? Yea it's going to be a huge mess that is going to have a larger impact than 9/11 ever did. The problem is so many people are ignorant of these changes. People should be afraid. --- You're a regular Jack Kerouac ... Copied to Clipboard! |
