idk if this is a bad take but everyone talking both ironically and unironically about "world war 3" comes off as kind of a callous dipshit

i think the whole “this generation has seen too much” thing is mostly valid esp when it’s used as a rhetorical tool to effect change but i don’t ageee with giving adults an excuse to ride the hyperbole meme wave without first shutting up and trying to educate themselves
not against memeing as a processing tool in general but the specific use of “wwiii” bothers me bc it implies a kinda self-absorbed fear of total societal impact that we probably aren’t going to experience but a lot of people in the middle east are

totally uninformed speculation warning but i think the only things likely to cause a societal paradigm shift on the scale of a “world war” type thing are a major cyberattack that takes down huge critical systems in the us (plausible) or like nuclear shit (probably not)

The whole “world war” framework is kind of unwieldy for the modern era, anyway. In many ways, WWI was less destructive than the War on Terror, and arguably climate change is on a bigger scale than any human centric conflict. Not disagreeing with you, to be clear...
