"Better be weary of making financial assumptions because you may end up on the losing side of a world war and then it will all be for naught" isn't very useful thinking imo

If you think America (or wherever you live) is going to end up like Germany in 1945, or Russia in 1918, then it won't matter in the slightest what you've invested in anyway - you plus everyone around you will be in the same (half underwater) boat.

"Ditto" for if $SPY suddenly tanks or underperforms. There are going to be much more immediate concerns for everyone if that happens.
