Might I ask then if you were around in the 80's (and old enough to remember much of it) when they thought WW3 was going to start any moment? You never see THAT on 80's nostalgia stuff.
They only like to remember the good, fun stuff (Hair, music, fashion). The threat was always there throughout the Cold War. We fought proxy wars against The Soviets in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan (We supplied the Mujahideen who fought against the Russians). There was always the tension and knowledge that it could happen.
I recommend watching a 1988 movie called The Miracle Mile. Starring Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham. Today it doesn't have the impact it once had because the threat has mostly been forgotten. But in 1988 it was a very plausible scenario.
Theres always the possibility of war and always has been
We can still focus on those things that really matter and get our shit together politically. People need to get off their high horses
Wars yes, but not like when you have the two greatest super powers of the era armed to the gills with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world many times over and they get along with less trust and respect than cats & dogs. You had the constant knowledge a squabble between some a-hole in Washington and another in Moscow could result in catastrophe that you wouldn't have time to prepare for and would lead to millions dead in a flash. There are homes in the neighborhood I grew up in that were built in the 60's that had bomb shelters in the basements. That fear lasted until the end of the cold war. Then people started freaking out that now all those nuclear weapons from the former Soviets would get into the hands of terrorists or some other rogue nation.
Well they still have anyways
Yeah it was tense at that time, but u can’t compare what’s happened with what’s happening now because yours is in the past. Once one prob is gone the next appears. And now with taking it seriously we have a chance of saving and preparing
Do you think global warming is a fraud?

I remember when we thought thermo-nuclear war would bring about the end of the world. Now people think it's cow farts.
