that's probably what they said during ww2 about ww1 =) ww2 started in 1939 but it was only globally recognized as world war, 3 years later in 1942.
Absolutely not what they were saying then. That was deep in the age of barbarianism and what most of humanity was ok with. The shift that is under way is a huge move away from that. Remember what I said, this is not our grandpas world anymore. WW1 and WW2 was our grandpas world.
