Owlofcreamcheese posted:Yeah, it's so weird to look at history and look around the world and somehow come to the conclusion that 2016 centrist america is the one true eternal truth and anything beyond slight deviation from that is madness. You'd think this rather obvious truth and the pattern of political progress would persuade a lot more people to relinquish strongly regressive policy opinions sooner and to come to grips with the futility of reintroducing them, but no; I've actually heard the argument that "All liberal policy positions are eventually conservative ones."

TheNakedFantastic posted:The most "progressive" states of the 20th century collapsed and the conservative ones remained dominant. Austria-Hungary, Germany, Germany 2.0, the British empire, the Italian empire, the Ottoman empire, the Japanese empire, the second French empire, South Africa, Falangist Spain, the Russian Empire, Yugoslavia? Post Sudan and nearishly the end of the UK I think we can say the trend is away from the process of conglomeration to ethnic or cultural fragmentation. Maybe in the future states will further subdivide along claims to resources. poo poo, you're right it is tribal Lamb Chowder fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Oct 5, 2016 |
