All I know is the past 100 years has beat them all in the head with the idea that progress is always one direction and any changes they make to society and culture are never, ever undone later. When (if, at this point, sadly) that's ever undone, you're going to see more than half the country have an existential crisis. Something like Roe v Wade's repeal only significantly more impactful on their psyches.

If it happens, it'll be glorious.

People do not hate Wilson enough.

Prior to Obama throwing him under the bus, Wilson was seen as one of United States' greatest presidents. Granted the U.S. education system and mainstream media skirted over those inconvenient bits of his history like segregating the federal government and U.S. military.

A lot of progressives and fellow travelers by other names received the same white washing and will be chucked the moment it becomes convenient.

True but unless it is Stalin's American shiteating chamberpot Franklin D. Roosevelt being thrown under the bus, none of those fellow travelers are going to compared to Wilson in status. Since Wilson had the status of being taught to students as one the top five to top ten American presidents usually under Washington, FDR, Lincoln, and Jefferson for over fifty years. At least when I was still in high school back in the 1990ies

So if they start drafting people, they expect them to be okay with dying in Ukraine for the sake of... this type of ideology.

How far the US has fallen. An American Caesar is probably the only thing politically which can fix this type of thing.

I remember one of my history professors talking about this - in the late 1800s/early 1900s Marx was considered one of the new hot theorists to study and latch onto in the same way many other philosophers and "intellectuals" were studied by rich people with too much free time. It was actually a common thing everywhere until commies seized power and started actually doing commie things, then it became distasteful for a lot of people, while others saw the brutality as being evidence that it was a system that could help them ascend the ladder.

You can see a lot of this by looking into science fiction and such from the 1890's to 1910's when it was a new hip thing. H. G. Wells was famously a socialist and had a pretty "it will make our lives better" outlook to it. Then WW1 hit, and the movement got first crushed by the jingoism and war and then reality showed itself when the Russians started implementing it in a large scale and it became clear it was never gonna fly.

Fire alarm specialist Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York delivered a an unhinged rant at a rally on Saturday, criticizing U.S. involvement in Israel and AIPAC and flailing his arms wildly while starting to chant his own name at one point.

"We are gonna show f---ing AIPAC the power of the motherf---ing South Bronx," he screamed at the crowd.

Bowman is up for re-election this Tuesday and is currently getting absolutely smoked in the polls, down 48% to 31% to George Latimer, according to Fox News.

He targeted the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for its recent $14 million campaign against his reelection due to his stance on Israel.

Bowman has been a longtime critic of the Israeli government and its war against Hamas in Gaza and described the conflict as a genocide against Palestinians. At the rally, he reiterated that U.S. dollars are funding the killing of innocent civilians.

"Cease fire now!" he had the crowd chanting while taking a wooden stool and slamming it onto the stage repeatedly.
