It's crazy, when read some of the old documents from that time they actually had what would be equivalent of doomers today. 😂 Not everyone thought we would win the revolutionary war, there we many skeptics at the time.
This is exactly what we need right now. Our forefathers knew chaos way greater than we do. It’s time to reflect on their teachings.
“I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent.”
"There are cases which cannot be overdone by language, and this is one. There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil which threatens them; they solace themselves with hopes that the enemy, if he succeed, will be merciful. It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf, and we ought to guard equally against both."

Sad!
