Wild to think what hexbear would have been like had it existed back then, the news mega I mean.

Collapse of the USSR would probably crash the site, permanently.

Nah, only if it happened overnight in 1965 or something. The USSR was already making questionable decisions for years.

The optimism developed since 2022-Ukraine(news mega) here was before people had to confront China and Israel's relationship too. If China "collapsed" ala USSR in 2022 I'd be malding.

The same in 2026 I'd be just speechless and shrugging, in a "we knew it was coming" sort of way. Of course it would be the biggest disaster for humanity etc etc but at the same time who exactly should be surprised by the party embracing e.g Kissinger, Elon Musk, Biden, Yellen, Blinken etc in just these same 5 years? Some people I guess but not everyone. So I don't think its the same.
