I'm reminded of the Vietnam era slogan: "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came" One could just as easily adapt it to our modern day. "Suppose they gave a bomb and nobody talked about it" I can only imagine how frustrated those narcissistic sociopaths would feel if after all that meticulous planning, people simply talked about the weather the next day.

- yodon 9y agoIn 1972 there were over 1,900 acts of domestic terrorism bombing, and more than 2,500 such bombings in the US in an 18 month period in the early 1970's[0][1]. The bombings were so common that reporters didn't even bother to cover all of them, and yet the bombings continued until very gradually the number of people who felt setting off a bomb in a building was a productive way to end racism gradually declined towards zero (the 1970's are remembered as the anti-war era but that wasn't actually the cause that drove most of the bombers, as recounted into the linked histories).
