It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.

    Oh, just wait a little bit longer. Executive orders requiring the modification of recorded history is not far away.

    The world may be mocking the Gulf of America, but if idiot boy makes it official, there’s a whole country that’ll be using that name.

      That has already happened in some red states.

      We’ll have to see about that. Changing history records and telling your story instead of the truth is as old as humanity. But with recent technological advances, we have misinformation on the rise. And we’ll have to see whether we can tell apart a generated video from a recording of a historical event in 10 years time… I certainly hope so. And that kind of technology is going to make progess as well. Maybe facts are just a thing of the past… That kind of sides with OP though… I mean it’ll be impossible to tell apart a record of events from fakes… But if you took them themselves and verified things while they’re still happening, that could prove to be helpful.
