again tho, the cause & effect are the same

the Gilded Age was the Industrial Age Robber Barons subjugating an Agrarian economy

the New Gilded Age is the Information Age Robber Barons subjugating the Industrial economy

the concentration of wealth effect is the product of an epoch at the geopolitical level

according to Victor Davis Hanson, things go in cycles of three generations

you get the Greatest Generation, then the Boomers, now the Millennials

so according to that order, the next Greatest Generation is about to be born

that however was all within the paradigm of an expanding empire

on the other side of the Atlantic, two empires collapsed in the 1920s

and so those generations became the Bolsheviks & Nazis

so this really comes down to finding out if America is the exceptional nation after all

was the Greatest Generation a product of America, or was it the product of expansion ?

Just this last week I've heard of 2 cuck-Millennial men who during Trump were: "burn it all down," now under Biden say, "it's too crazy and dangerous, we're going to move." The hypocrisy is lost on them which is why the rest of America is at risk: there is no place safe from cuck-Millennials, and even if they're our kind, they bring their feminist wives and daughters with them to pollute wherever they're going, and 2:1, democracy kills the new place.

that's the thing about Millennials

what they are revanchist against, is that they missed out on the good ol' days

but what were the good ol' days ?

that was the Post War Boom

America was the unchallenged victor with no competitors

how to recreate that situation ?

that situation was actually the end of the Second World War frozen in time for forty years after

Unrealized expectations are the most dangerous kind because they result in perversity.

It’s too late now but anyone on this forum knows I’ve been suggesting confiscatory estate taxes to open up some opportunity to these people. Nepotism nullifies The American Dream.

the Millennials are more like the socialist British after the Second World War

the good ol' days never happened in Britain, there was no Post War Boom for them

they were deep in debt, they had rationing & the dole instead nice cars & big houses

the British Empire was collapsing, and by those means did Britain become a socialist nanny state

Our society has become aristocratic: the well-off have no need to work while those who are still productive shoulder the burden.

and that is Canada

Canada is ruled by an aristocratic elite, they simply stave off civil disorder by running a socialist nanny state

small business is the enemy of the state, the state wants only corporations & unions

One thing the Fascists & Commies agree on is the right to create dynasties.

Fascists favor the stability of dynastic rule, perhaps

the Communists however believe in the rule of the Academy, the Communists are an academic elite

Communism is a tyranny of radicals, the philosopher kings

the Hegelian dialectic to impose an utopia by destroying the contradictions in society

Communism is not a journey, it's a destination, a one world post scarcity utopia without need for politics

"Communism" is like saying "Shangri-La", it's the "Workers Paradise"

Socialism is the journey, that's how you get to Communism someday in the more distant future

the Socialists want to make a Great Leap Forward, and this is how they end up killing a hundred million people
