Most of those events you showed aren't that bad compared to the many of the ones shown on his patch which are pretty dangerous events, or ones that had very real dangerous potential.

There is a theory that we are actually living in the year 1723 due to a theory about the catholic church forwarding the calendar by 300 years so some could supposedly rule for 300 years. Meaning that, if this is true, the Mayan might not be wrong, we just miscalculated.

It actually had the chance of being real bad for the entire world, the west actually spent a lot of resources to keep things stable. The Soviet Union had a lot of nukes

I remember a lot of fear about "free nukes" at the time. And fearmongering about them being suitcase-sized as well.

Depends on where one lived at the time I suppose, the Russian economy didn't exactly do great. It wasn't life ending for the majority of people, but then neither was Fukushima, or most of these really.
