I think the cold war was the opposite of an apocalypse.
If you think that, then you weren't paying attention.
Come you fools, obviously if you were not there and alive in person, the context of this comment clearly implies that you should have been paying attention in history class.
Most of Lemmy wasn't even alive.
Spoken like someone that also didn't pay attention in class.
American education really skims over everything post WW2. Can't pay attention to things that aren't taught. What little that is covered, is done so I'm the last few weeks of senior year when everyone already knows that they've graduated.
Nor does history class delve into how things felt at the time. It's all abstracted dates and events.
So maybe lay off the flimsy insults and remember that not everyone has the same experiences as you.
