well

why are you going bronze age

Generally civil war’s are much different now

if a refugee caravan divided the english channel in half like that jewish guy did that one time i'd give them some credit

Refugees

post 1945, they've been the same

Mass bombing causes more destruction for locals than ever before

usually mass bombing

sure

Warfare itself is different

exile, mass graves ,etc.

People who say war never changes are idiots tbh

And simply put more things used by civilians are targeted

War has changed a lot

fallout 4 said that

but there was never millions of refugees pouring across europe

or getting into US

WW2 there was though

And people actually quote it

despite mass graves

so wtf

But that’s a huge war

thats y marie civil wars are rare in developed countries not it causes too much destruction to be worth it

Tbh 1945-2019 is a short time

yeah WW2, every country was at war and I guess people could hop borders

1945-2019 has to be one of the most peaceful times in history

I’d say even 1919-2019

well 1945-2019 is long if you consider modern policy and how we managed to deal with other nations having civil wars in the past

usually i think it was the policy of 'the adjacent country takes in the refugees'

Not the longest duration of relative peace between great powers but still heckin long

not really

and that has worked I believe, though usually an adjacent country suffers

pax romana was most peaceful time

gives them incentives to take interest in peace keeping of their neighbour

The past hundred years have been some of the most peaceful ever even if the largest war in history occurred

it was a good policy

even if it doesn't prevent war

it prevents frigging refugee spill overs

Pax Romana did last longer but with smaller geographical influence.

which are now happening for no reason, I don't know why we abandoned the old policy

I think NGOs started it

Pax Romana wasn’t as globally peaceful

HERE I GO

GLORYPOSTING AGAIN

it wasnt globally peaceful but its not global peace now either

1815-1914 was also pretty peaceful relatively speaking to the Great Powers

No there's not global peace now but there's more global peace than during Pax Romana

But overall globally this must be the most peaceful hundred years

It just hasn't lasted as long

And probably won't

also less poverty for sure

it sure is more peaceful than colonial times

read both Better Angels of Our Nature

and Enlightenment Now

I don’t think there will ever be a war the size of WW2 again

peace =/= no one starved

Pinker has statistics to support claims of greater peace

@Tato most peaceful ever

The larger a geographic area you try to maintain peace over the less likely it'll work for longer I imagine

@lunemarie and thats why a bigger one will happen

he doesn't question why there's a refugee crisis though, which I thought was stupid

heheheheheheheheh

@King Canuck This is acceptable.

Also, the show they are gonna be at just got sold out <:GWmythiFeelsBadMan:391321619748093972>

brutal

someone in a group I'm in made a joke about doing this exact editing so I went and done it

Peaceful? What about the great meme war of 2016?

What’s why a bigger one will happen? A tiny girl says not?

debatable but yes probably too many world powers and too big interest

to think 'we are way above what we once were' is exactly how you get a big problem

I never said that though

yeah we haven't changed

you say we cant top ourselves with ww2

very easily we can

I think we lack incentives to war

yeah nuclear war could happen

ww1 didnt seem like we could beat it, and we did

No I said I don’t think it will happen

To be fair, mass migration has been happening for decades.

What we are calling the refugee crisis is a piggy-back migration using the chaos of the Syrian war and it's displaced peoples to relocate to Europe.

Few of these "refugees" are refugees.

Not that we couldn’t beat it, just that we won’t

https://youtu.be/Sk3cgyBGg7I here, have my most cursed edit

but a lot of coulds could happen

mass food shortages? technology that destroys lives of some people and not others?

there wont be war like ww2 with clearly established sides but there will be lots of civil unrests in future

If we wanted to we could probably kill at least half the global population in a war

ww2 didnt just happen out of nowhere

it had a reason

and those reasons are always possibilities

Nukes are the reason why we won't see a war between large powers

and theyre always slow slopes

there will always be civil unrest somewhere

If we have a nuclear war I think the nation-state might be obsolete

i mean

China vs. US is probably the new cold war

City states!

to think 'we wont have a bigger war' is jumping way ahead

It’s not though

it is

trade war and psych war probably for forseeable future
