Yes WW1 happened because of a single incident setting off a firestorm and not due to ideologies of imperialism, militarism, monarchism, jingoistic nationalism, and the desire of the Anglo-French alliance to prevent any competitors to their global domination being confronted by Germany which felt entitled as a white nation to its share of genocidal extraction.

Me when all I know about WW1 is that some rich guy got killed and then something something history happened: DAE political assassinations bad?

Don't threaten me with a good time anyway. The country would've detonated and there are probably over 5 billion people that would be cheering right after.

I'm simply not so sure we haven't arrived at the same place anyway. Living in deeply Maga area, we've had fireworks shot off all night last night, as well as people posting up on corners with flags and guns. One person in my area said they were heiled and yelled "white power" at.

It concerns me that people are trying to downplay this situation just because the man didn't die. I think it's the opposite. People are feeling riled up and emboldened in a way I don't think they would if the shooter had succeeded.

Trump literally had an Iranian general assassinated and it sparked a skirmish lasting less than two weeks. Not a world War.

Oh well, I'm glad the country will not detonate now. I can breathe easy knowing that all we will see from now is the legendary American ability to treat everything with a sense of zen like calm, without making any rash decisions.

It would actually be bad, and it is bad that it happened right now anyway. Who the fuck you think is gonna get hit with retaliatory measures from this?

Granted this person is probably a lib and doesn't mean it this way.

lol If you aren’t cheering for the US to fail at this point, you are a fascist there’s nothing worth saving at this point

I’m just disappointed we don’t have any privatized suicide booths because dying slowly in a decaying empire is not ideal

Well he's partly right IMO that it would have detonated all that stored resentment that reactionaries have towards the "liberal leftists" (they rarely make distinctions) and (((the elites)))
But uhhhhh having Trump alive and able to instead further foment and concentrate it towards his political enemies is much much much worse.

It's like saying that a powder keg exploding is dangerous therefore we should be glad all that powder is instead in the guns of our enemies...

As opposed to failed assassinations that famously have no consequences

Wow. We are very lucky we escaped the specter of Trump dying so we could get the possibility of Trump as president where this time he can act like a dictator and legally imprison, torture, or murder, etc en mass and he can do that to anybody. As you can see - we are very luc—

Hold on. I'm being told in my earpiece that we need to go to commercials because I'm acting like a fucking idiot. Well, we need to go to commercials because I'm acting like a fucking idiot...

Kim Jong Un launching WWIII because his dear large friend Donald Trump was killed

The US does need to be detonated though

how is amerikkka detonating a bad thing?

Libs really love selectively overestimating the military preparedness of MAGA CHUDs.

Great man theory dipshit historicism

Trump being martyr would probably be way less funny tbf.

Social contagion. That is going to be a problem.

What happens when a mf doesn't understand historical context

my hyperbole!
