The way you change that thinking is saying "we have a huge problem to address for a long time" when you want to say "the world is ending."

Apocalypticism gives you a way out. It gives you an ending. It makes your life a movie and lets you out of it.

Public political nihilism is all about creating a morose, vaguely teenage conception of your place in the world to escape moral culpability.

It's sad how many RTs you get by saying the world is ending instead of admitting the scary truth that it's not and there's work to do in it.

I lived in New York for nearly 14 years, and never did someone demand my loyalty or tell me they hadn’t been involved with Russian hookers. teapaw.org/elistokols/status/8725…

On D-Day, Hitler was not awakened by his assistants until after 10AM because everyone was terrified that the Normandy invasion was a fake.
MTV Politics retweeted
BUT the Nazis had a bigger problem: the Allies had successfully convinced Hitler that the French landing was NOT the real invasion point.
MTV Politics retweeted
Fortunately, the weather cleared up enough (and also gave the Allies high tides, better for an amphibious landing.)
MTV Politics retweeted
Had weather conditions postponed the invasion by two weeks (to the 20th), the Nazis could have figured out the plan for Overlord.
MTV Politics retweeted
A random aside: the weather report played a massive role in both why the Allies could land on June 6th and why the Germans were surprised.

On this day 73 years ago, more than 156,000 men — including my grandfather — landed on the beaches of Normandy.
