Maybe! At the very least Kennedy did not want to put troops in Vietnam, and that already would have saved countless lives.

They sent up multi-million dollar planes and shot it down with a multi-million dollar missile.

It was a loving balloon.

I guess they couldn't risk a cannon round not auto detonating and then hitting a some poor gently caress?

The 00s had their highs and lows and as the decade that covered the back bit of my teens and much of my 20s it’s pretty hard not to have a little nostalgia. The 90s were pretty terrible too

I mean "Democracy is only legitimate if the right wing is accorded majority power regardless of their actual popularity" is probably one of the most consistent patterns of the liberal ideology yeah. Like if you have one party with more ideological representation than two parties have put together it's never even factored in. Two parties who are almost identical? That's CHOICE baby!

Any situation where it's our own country's dynamic between right and center but it's between left and center instead is super mega authoritarian 100 million coup to save them territory.

Yeah, the 90s sucked too. In terms of pop culture, I'd take the 1970s over the 90s any day, and while politically the 90s were stable (more so than the 1970s) they were just as gross as now in many ways. I don't miss the dog whistles.

Ultimately, decade nostalgia is just arbitrary. If the aughts were a good time in your life, you're gonna be nostalgic. I hated my teenage and early adult years despite have some fun here and there, hence my lack of 90s nostalgia.

I do like revisiting poo poo I was into in the 80s and 90s, but I don't like using the word nostalgia for fond memories of a thing.

I call it the "every other decade" theory. The 50's were boring. The 60's rocked. The 70's, my god, they obviously suck. So maybe the 80s will be like, radical. I figure we'll be in our 20's and hey, it can't get any worse.

the 2000s rocked, the 2020s are rocking, 2040s are gonna be really cool
