I actually didn’t know the verb and adjective are spelled differently

I’m trying to think of a way to explain it better. When I hear the narrator say “this would happen”, I tend to think they mean it was going to happen but hadn’t happened yet at this point in the story. It throws me off when they use it while they are at the point in the story where this event they’re describing happens.

I interpret “this would happen” to be sort of the opposite of “this had happened”. The former is foreshadowing a later event, after the events currently being described, while the latter is describing something that had happened earlier in the timeline, before the events being currently described.

I even saw a post on a Canadian community about how experts are saying the Untied States are dangerous to travel to or something like that, and a bunch of commenters assumed it was American experts and were indignant that the Americans were telling us this. I wish I could remember enough to find the post cause I’m struggling to remember why they were indignant but I remember they jumped to the assumption that Americans were telling Canadians something and it was actually Canadians

Even with brainwashing, I’m struggling to understand how they can deny a movie objectively being a financial success. It’s one thing to argue that a movie sucks, that’s their opinion, but to straight up lie and say it financially failed when it didn’t…
