Explanation: Francis Fukuyama, controversially, proposed the “end of history” with the fall of the USSR in the 1990s - that the future would be essentially uneventful as liberal democracy absorbed the remaining polities and enjoyed essentially peaceful relations with one another.
He would later admit that this was more an effect of the triumphalism of the early 1990s, and rescind this view entirely.
The world is closing in
And did you ever think?
That we could be so close?
Like brothers
“Winds of Change” by Scorpions is like goddamn anthem to that triumphalism.
And today its an anthem to sad irony that guys “who could be like brothers” happened to be sore loser revanchists. And also irony of world halfway into era of Fascism 2: Electric Boogalo.
Oh ya. How is that working out as BYD is all over in Latin America and EU and American car companies only exist because of import rules (bans)
I sorta romanticise the 20th century with its left and right politics battling it out before we entered this age of perpetual neoliberal peace and prosperity
Yeah, politics were better and much calmer when we were fighting two world wars.
