Nothing ever happens so drastically.
But these things make great click-bait, which is why they spread around so easily these days.

Indeed, every generation is concerned with this stuff. They all wanna believe that THEY in particular are a chosen people, living in very *special times*. Just them and the like minded ones, not the ''ignorant masses'' of course... only the true believers!! Trolololololol... it just never stops. Every generation you get people doing it all over again..
Ha. They never learn.
And there are always tricksters that make big money out of it. Christians, New Agers, Hare Krishnas, ufologists, conspiracy theorists, guru's..
