The Precap | Josh Johnson on Speedrunning the End of an Empire

And I look at what's happening in Minnesota and it's it's like, well, then these are these are the people who would do something about it if that thing happened.

if this happens, is happening right now.

So whenever people look at historical events or whenever they look at comparisons to make or history repeating itself, whatever, and they wonder what they would have done, I'm not the first person to say this, I'm sure, whatever you're doing now is what you would have been doing then.

So if you look at the people who sort of like took no action or complied in advance or just talked about the sort of letter of the law over anything that is moral and just, I think that that is what you would have been doing then because it's what you're doing now.

Anybody who is looking at what's happening in Minnesota as if it is something happening in Argentina, it's like I think people are fooling themselves that it's not going to come to your doorstep, that things will just like quiet down there, that nothing ever really happens is like a big thing.

sort of like black pill thing that helps people quell their anxiety.

It's like, well, none of this really matters.

And it's like, I think it's going to matter to you.

I think it'll matter to you when you get pulled out of your car on your way to work, you know?

And the idea that those things aren't happening

or the idea that there's gonna be some resolution without you getting involved is like how every atrocity and tragedy throughout history happens.

Like really not being able to put yourself there.

It's like it's here now and it's happening now.

You're not sitting in civics class watching this happen to people in black and white TV footage.

it's like they are pulling people out of their car, going door to door, asking people for their papers, all the stuff like that.

And I think a lot of people are easily able to compare it to like the Gestapo and stuff.
