if it does what it potentially could do it would take us from the brink
i have two frightening predictions about modern humanity "lucking" out from shit
pandemics used as social shocks to slow tragjectories towards political self destruction
and a limited nuclear war essentially forcing us to do something about climate change
COVID was/is just a taste. the other thing hasn't happened yet.
i hope im wrong. until we get socialism these are the only things that will stir humanity and basically be a large scale sacrifice to prevent total extinction
nuke war no. H1N1 pandemic yes
We have a flu pandemic every year, we just slap the label of "seasonal flu" on top and forget the half a million people that die
New hope just dropped:
Second pandemic distracts the West enough to pull out of their wars.
