Is fatidical a word?

"I NEVER fall for their tactics. I always stood my ground and fight against the regime and being a loud voice, even being a kid."

This is a lie... I always stood my ground even as a kid living in a communist regime

Had to look it up

fatidical: relating to or characterized by prophecy; prophetic.

He might have meant

fateful: having important consequences; decisively important

an example of someone using 'big' words to impress without understanding the meaning

only a pretentious poser would do this

Or someone who isn't a native speaker made an innocent mistake. The two words are synonyms in some contexts (when used as 'prophetic').

the mistake was not innocent

prophetic is also the wrong word when describing a communist regime or any regime

Darth is not a native speaker, what is his first language?

If you are trying to get subscribers to your substack, you can't play the "I am not a native speaker card"

do you not subscribe to Darth's substack? English is not his first language apparently

I interpreted it as

Yes, I was born in the fateful month of October 1971.

and

I was born in the peak of communist era in a place that faithfully embraced the communist regime.

word salad

"peak of communist era" means what?

When was the peak of the communist era and where?

Stalin died in 1953 Cuban missile crisis was in 1962

The 60s and 70s were a period of detente

Where is the peak?

What was fateful about October 1971?

Sovereign citizen movement consists of millionaires. Ordinary people can't afford to be sovereign citizens.

People who escape communism become capitalists not sovereign citizens.

When was the peak of the communist era and where?

It's obviously a subjective statement, from his point of view, in his country of birth.
