The period of occupation in WWII in Iceland is actually called The Situation

New Jersey had a similar period in time

And it was equally dark and scary.

chiliedogg@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 91d

A kind of dark that was halfway to blackface.

The Circumstances implies we found ourselves here. The Consequences would be more appropriate, as we placed ourselves in this position.

The Big Find Out

And for what? What is anyone gaining here?

bedwyr@piefed.ca · 2 pts · 92d

The consequences makes it sound too passive idk. We should keep searching for a name.

The Gangstering would be more accurate. As in effect, and in reality, our government has been seized by gangsters.

Too bad they were unforseen

Many foresaw these circumstances just fine.

That's actually a good idea, reminds me of the Troubles in Norther Ireland. Wouldn't be surprised if terrorism would be on the rise, especially after the dismantling of USAID.

There was a MeidasTouch Video a week ago which touched on the subject, where the US Military admitted that they lost a lot of access to intel in Africa, and what little intel they got points into the direction that paramilitaries and terrorist groups are thriving and building up large amounts of ressources.

Sometimes powered by Russia. Or, more peacefully, by China.

the Troubles

I'm always a little surprised that's a 20th century term. It sounds medieval.

I remember hearing a NPR podcast episode about how they call it "The thing" in Venezuela so if the police never know if people are talking about the kidnaping or the price of bread.

Circumstances, such a vague word. Like consequences.

"The Troubles" is too on the nose

“The Troubles” has already been taken.

I always wondered in school why the IRA were the " bad guys". I think everyone else thought IRA was a type of beer.

tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 91d

I was surprised to learn that a black and tan wasn't the best name for a drink. Like Irish car bomb seems pretty obvious but more people are less familiar with black and tan.
