If they used to dream something that they are still dreaming about, it is still "dreamt" in past-tense.

If I still "play" baseball every day, and I referring to a game, I say "I played baseball," because it is in the past. You would not say "I play baseball game last week" even if you are still currently playing baseball.

Make sense? I mean this politely too, you mentioned English not being your first language.

Why don't you give it a shot buddy?

I agree 100%, but the fact still stands that plenty of people absolutely want it, even if they don't understand and are wrong about what it is.

That's great, and I am also in STEM and agree with you. But we're only two people.

And I never said we did, so what's your point?

I agree with all of this except the end.

People absolutely asked for AI. I hate it, but it's false claiming it wasn't desired. Tons of people in STEM fields dreamt about it for years.

I think you could argue that the five Nordic nations are pretty friendly with each other, and it's not just interests. The Nordic Council works very well. I can't think of anywhere else on Earth I could argue this though.

What if they wage an ineffective war that still kills millions despite them losing because their delusional leader wants his name in the history books before he dies?

Nah man. The democratic party is billed as left wing. Some Americans believe that. A ton of us know that is false and are actually left wing but don't have great options to vote for.

That's it, we're moving to Syria.

I agree with all of that in its entirety, the world was a much different and considerably smaller place.

To play devil's advocate though, there is potential for the right person or persons to harness social media to draw historical attention to one. I don't think this will happen, and it would turn into a giant mess of a media shitstorm, but it is an interesting idea to think about.

There are some pretty big ones that did work though. The Women's Suffrage movement in the US successfully used a hunger strike to force Woodrow Wilson's hand and he was put in a position where he had no choice but to cave to the movement.
