Hey, so what do y'all think it felt like back in the 30s to watch the world split between a handful of really aggressive countries and everyone else? Specifically, what do y'all think it felt like to be a non-aggressive person living in one of the handful of really aggressive countries?

    Currently, the news cycle is too fast to keep up with and 1 in 5 USian adults are functionally illiterate.
