I love how this is a community that talks about the singularity and transhumanism and all that sci-magick-fi nonsense as if it was going to happen next year, but a real geopolitical threat the likes of which have happened countless times in the last 500 years is considered impossible...

I love how you think that improbable capture of Canada is a real geopolitical threat, but losing the status of the dominant species apparently isn't. You think wars happened a lot? How many species were dominant before us and where are they all now?

I’d love to know exactly which clearly stated threats towards other sovereign nations we should take seriously, because it isn’t at all clear.

Some of the community do, a lot don't, probably the majority.

There's no contradiction if you assume there needn't be an overlap.
