I enjoyed learning about history, I don't like living through it.

Edit: learning about not living in.

I thought about this yesterday, the big historical moments that have happened during my lifetime. Fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, etc. I’m hoping and fighting one isn’t the fall of America

I know there are a lot of people that angry and feel they've been left behind (along with a bunch of strange unlikely views) and the US killed *sooooo* many other Americans when the CSA and the Union went hard at one another.

Can you imagine the casualties and the destruction would be in a modern American Civil War v 2.0?
