    You know these people wish they were. Their precious La Belle Époque. Before them ebil commies and muzzies rose up and ruined it all.

    Because these types always imagine themselves to be among the ruler class, never considering they’d be in shit along with those they hate.

      A lot of their stereotypes also arise from Fu Manchu series. Did not know Belle Epoque was also a phenomenon.

        Well I suppose one can use the Belle Epoque in a general sense - some imaginary “good past”, where everything was fine and made sense and the person imagining would have totally be sipping coffee and discussing philosophy and who cares about the proles and their back breaking labor anyway. Look at the 1980’s simps, the 1950’s simps, and not to mention various XIX century simps.

          Limiting one’s own sphere of influence and then claiming everything is alright is such a selfish and anti communist phenomenon that occurs with many people and groups. It is what individualism is meant to achieve, and why West has always used it to delete communism.

          A lot of this stuff will die with boomer and baby boomer generations. My guess is we will see the first signs of global revolution against capitalism through zoomers. It may also be possible that millenials are the ones that do it, but millenials are starting to get old despite how I think they are the ones who have been at the true intersection of timeline in terms of change in society in the 90s and early 00s. Millenials have also lived less privileged and simpler lives than zoomers.

          Maybe I am rambling a bit ambitiously, but the breaking point is close, and it is not just for USA. Their revolution will just be a lot earlier.

      Yep. Everyone of these types think they would be a knight in past times, odds are overwhelming they would be peasants ground into the dirt. The thing that would prevent that is ironically what they hate.

        Precisely. But ignorance and over a century of carefully engineered propaganda have ensured they don’t get it
