Imagine actually living in that era, not knowing how things ended as we do today. Scary.
The existential dread from the past is the same existential dread of today. We also do not know how things might turn out.
It’s not the same. Similar but not the same. Things were definitely farther along back then. Much closer to tyrannical world domination.
