and we totally passed up girls wearing flapper dresses...

Now with climate change!

Yeah, but shit was so bad we elected FDR who put in motion the things we coasted off of up till about the 80s when we forgot what it was like without that stuff.

Like, trump might be making things happen faster than scheduled. But I'd rather have AOC in 2029 than 2033....

It doesn't matter if we think accelerationism was the dumbest gamble in history, it's already happened.

Yeah but this time we're doing a faster and ahead of schedule.

Let's just hope there's a new FDR to come with it. Sure would love to see that one.

World War 3 to begin in 2039

but that also means we will live to see the 40s, and the current nazis hanging upside down.

Don't worry, those of us left are going to see marvelous things once we hit the 60s.

They had some years of crazy partying between end of ww1/the spanish flu ine the late 1910d and the great depression and fascism really got hold in the end of the 1920S tho, so couldnt we at least get some of those years first?:(

History doesn't repeat but it sure as shit rhymes.

Depending on an angle, one can say it began around that time 😅

America was about to have the Dust Bowl and China a drought that caused a massive famine, so we definitely had some localised ecological collapse

or nuclear weapons

I give it a year tops before the beginning of civil war 2.0

the world wars were basically two halves of the same conflict, the only real difference between the two was the whole Russian Revolution that brought a third communist faction into the mix,

and dont kid yourselves, The Soviet Union was a co-belligerent of the Allies, not a part of them. you aren't allied with someone when you're formally at war with them until the mid1920s, watch them kick off a war by partnering with nazi germany, and then have a little ceasefire for 4-5 years between 1941 and 45 when nazi germany betrayed them. and go back to pointing guns at them

Russia sees itself as "other" to the rest of Europe, for those who dont read history, you need only visit a news site to see how that is still the case today

There's no way this motherfucker couldn't just hire somebody to do the tariffs math right.

They couldn't hire someone to do the tariff math 'right' because there is no 'right' math to do.

" The statement of the Soviet scientist’s is very interesting. Does he know what this alternative energy source will be? No, he simply has faith. Science will find a way. I hear revolutionary Marxists saying that the destruction of the environment, pollution, and radiation will be controlled. And I see them act on their words. Do they know how these things will be controlled? No, they simply have faith. Science will find a way. Industrialization is fine and necessary. How do they know this? Faith. Science will find a way. Faith of this sort has always been known in Europe as religion. Science has become the new European religion for both capitalists and Marxists; they are truly inseparable; they are part and parcel of the same culture. So, in both theory and practice, Marxism demands that non-European peoples give up their values, their traditions, their cultural experience altogether. We will all be industrialized science addicts in a Marxist society.

I do not believe that capitalism itself is really responsible for the situation in which American Indians have been declared a national sacrifice. No, it is the European tradition; European culture itself is responsible. Marxism is just the latest continuation of this tradition, not a solution to it. To ally with Marxism is to ally with the very same forces that declare us an acceptable cost.

There is another way. There is the traditional Lakota way and the ways of the other American Indian peoples. It is the way that knows that humans do not have the right to degrade Mother Earth, that there are forces beyond anything the European mind has conceived, that humans must be in harmony with all relations or the relations will eventually eliminate the disharmony. A lopsided emphasis on humans by humans — the European’s arrogance of acting as though they were beyond the nature of all related things — can only result in a total disharmony and a readjustment which cuts arrogant humans down to size, gives them a taste of that reality beyond their grasp or control and restores the harmony. There is no need for a revolutionary theory to bring this about; it’s beyond human control. The nature peoples of this planet know this and so they do not theorize about it. Theory is an abstract; our knowledge is real.

Distilled to it’s basic terms, European faith — including the new faith in science — equals a belief that man is God. Europe has always sought a Messiah, whether that be the man Jesus Christ or the man Karl Marx or the man Albert Einstein. American Indians know this to be truly absurd. Humans are the weakest of all creatures, so weak that other creatures are willing to give up their flesh that we may live. Humans are able to survive only though the exercise of rationality since they lack the abilities of other creatures to gain food through the use of fang and claw."
