For sustained series of events:
• Climate change
• Entangling of the Internet into practically every facet of daily life, including mass surveillance
• Rise of Third World powers to parity with the West
• End of the "Bretton-Woods system", if we are in fact in the early stages of that occurrence
• Annihilation of states one after the other in the Islamicate world, and proliferation of fundamentalist ideologies therein
• Radicalization of the Western peoples into a handful of crudely-designed granfalloons and the ostracism of intelligent discussion
• Likely economic collapse to which covid played the role of last straw (assuming Neoliberal plate-spinning doesn't manage to restore all the smoke and mirrors again this time)
• Covid
• Probably way more shit I'm not thinking of just now
For watershed events that happened in a day:
• Fall of the Berlin Wall
• 9/11
• Edward Snowden's leaks
