      I am not a history major, but I got a 5 on AP US History… and have degrees in Econ and Poli Sci.

      Basically, the last 10 years for me has been everyone I know thinking I am literally insane.

      And then roughly 90% of what I was saying would happen, has now happened, within +/- 2 years of when I said it probably would.

      None of them have bothered to apologize for being wrong, emphatically, derisivesly wrong, about basicsally everything, so, fuck em, and fuck this country honestly.

        Not only do they never apologize for being wrong, they never apologize for accusing you of wearing tinfoil when what you said would happen, happens.

        Then they continue telling you you’re over-reacting about the current thing you’re telling them.

        Its like consistently predicting the lottery numbers, and then arguing with you when they keep losing even though you tell them the winning number the day before every time.

              IIRC there was a funny tale … in christian medieval times, it was illegal to tell the future. (like, fortune tellers and such)

              in the text i read, people predicting the future was seen as a “real” thing, i.e. they believed it really worked. they still didn’t like it though. i wonder why.
