Sorry to bring back Zuckerberg chat, but he's giving his commencement speech at Harvard . . . and it's incredibly political. To summarize, he referenced New Deal and Great Society and said that it's time for a new social contract to include universal basic income and health care that isn't tied to employment; he also said that rich people like him should be paying for these sorts of social programs.

Certainly sounds like he's running for something.

It's nothing new. And again another example that things in the past were more hosed up then they are now.

Literally every decade of the 20th century was just as (but mostly more) hosed up than any of the last 20 years. Even the mostly "idyllic" 90's that oversaw the fall of the Soviet Union was full of terrorism (WTC, OKC, USS Cole, etc.) and saw dumb poo poo like DADT. People's memories are poo poo.

One difference, liberals don't really care about Zuckerberg (he's just the guy who owns their Facebook and was an rear end in a top hat in that old movie). Trump was already a beloved celebrity in the Republican crowd due to "The Apprentice" and his persona in general.

That's not true at all, we were in an undeclared sea war with Nazi Germany for about 6 months before Pearl Harbor. Not to mention 2 years of Lend Lease. We were going to go to war with Germany no matter what, it just happened quicker because Hitler decided to declare war first in the days after Pearl Harbor.

Universal basic income is several steps too far to the left for him to be a viable candidate. Thats arguably left of Bernie.

More talking about public opinion on entering the war vs. staying isolationist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_non-interventionism#Non-interventionism_before_entering_World_War_II), but yes the government was ready and prepared for war.

I also was mistaken on how much the non-interventionist movement collapsed once Paris fell.

Also the die hards of the movement, and the public faces, reversed course and supported the war immediately after Pearl Harbor. So yeah the Japanese attacking us had a big hand in quashing any semblance of opposition to the war effort.

quote:

After the attack on Pearl Harbor caused America to enter the war in December 1941, isolationists such as Charles Lindbergh's America First Committee and Herbert Hoover announced their support of the war effort.[28] Isolationist families' sons fought in the war as much as others.[21]

That was a good decision on his part. Much like today, average American​s could not possibly​ have cared less about Europe, and again the only reason our nation went all in is because suddenly things truly did affect us.

Russia has been beating the poo poo out of its neighbors for years, and most Americans, for all our talk about human rights and justice, do not give a single solid poo poo about that. But if suddenly we are affected, we'll pretend to care while getting our revenge boner on.
