it just occurred to me that a huge part of the population born after ~2000 is going to have no idea that there were two iraq wars because they occurred ten years apart under presidents named Bush and were fought against the same leader

I know someone who is thirty now who a few years back was listening to the biggie track where he says blow up like the world trade and she said "he predicted that poo poo", not realising it had been bombed before

Your life has been comfortably bourgeois enough that you fail to recognise alienation and depression through the obscuring layers of wealth and empty hedonism. Your class consciousness is insufficiently rigorous. 10 years in Siberia

Oh I'm an alienated millionaire with friends and showbusiness connections. I could do whatever I wanted for the rest of my life if I just sold my house and got the gently caress out of Hollywood but what I really want is validation from an amorphous mass public :qq:

Which again is less than 1% of cases, and they gained their power through illiberal paramilitary means, not through speech.

Uh, are you sure this number checks out? Because I kinda doubt there have been hundreds of countries that made any sort genuine effort to preserve free speech and not either devolved into fascism or otherwise collapsed.

Are you including places with hate speech laws? Because I think you're gonna have a hard time arguing why hate speech is somehow intrinsically different from stuff like white nationalist political speech. And even then I really doubt "1%" is actually accurate.
