InputZero@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe assassination of Archduke Ferdinand might have been the spark that caught the fire that started WWI but there wasn’t a single cause. It was all the back-room alliances between nations that was the kindling that spark caught, and a long build up of new weapons no one had put into total mobilization yet, and a bunch of other things.
If Archduke Ferdinand wasn’t assassinated WWI might still have happened. Though history will never know.

Back-room alliances √ Build up of new weapons √ Bunch of other things √
Maybe its time to make friends with the doomsday peepers…

Anyone seriously considering prepping should listen to Robert Evans’ - of Behind the Bastards fame - podcast episodes on Worst Year Ever:
How to Save Your Community When the Government Fails
The Reasonable Person’s Guide to Prepping
TL;DL: it’s far more about food & water and building strong community ties with mutual aid than having a pile of guns and ammo

Is this like people who can see 40 days into the future?

But only for doomsday events. You get a 40 day notice.

Oh for sure, enough kindling has definitely been set down to start a new world war. Adding all the sparks people are making and it seems like history might repeat itself. The next world war might have even started as far as historians will be concerned. I just think that if full mobilization actually happens the prepers are as screwed as the rest of us. The only way to actually survive that with a fragment of our old ways in tact is to already be rich and powerful, should the worst happen.
