    assassinations by "lone wolfs" are definitely the analog here. lots of alternative histories. of course, lots of lone wolfs out there all thinking the same thing, for reasons. so the next 12 alternative universes might just be delayed by a month or twelve

      great point! tbh most of these "dramatic pivots" in history merely serve to reveal how fragile the apparent situation was. Dialectic materialism.

        yeah, I remember some friends back in the day really hating on Glenn Beck, and I always figured that if not him, someone else would rise up and fill that space. I'll have to google "dialectic materialism" later. got to step up my theory game
