There was a slim sliver of hope left that we might reduce the acceleration towards the planet becoming largely uninhabitable for most people, but that is gone now, many of the brakes we had before are about to come off

I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:

Fuck.

People tend to forget just how hard the propaganda machine was swinging then. Remember freedom fries? And how the start of the war was timed for primetime television?

“It happened, therefore it can happen again.” – Primo Levi

Saw this written on a plaque at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and it really gave me pause, reflecting on what is happening all around the world right now.

I'd argue that's the outcome or survivorship bias, where people focus on the one winner or that time a thing worked and ignoring all the other failures. E.g. people think investors all swim in money because they only see the warren buffets of the world, when in reality there's thousands, millions of people who tried the almost exact same thing and lost some or all of their savings in bad investments.
