We Have Returned To The 1950s
I would like to preface by saying this particular blog is more of a personal observation that it is a political news piece.
History does repeat itself. It's not happenstance coincidence or a mere cliche saying history teachers tell their students to make it seem like they're still relevant. It's basically a proven fact by now.
"Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana
The loud extremists are those who ruin any popular idea. The outcry for justice following a series of shootings against people of color and fear of police brutality led to a sect of political men who wished for the freedom of black lives and surged new movements nationwide to speak in styles similar to that of the Civil Rights Movement famous orator Martin Luther King led. During this political movement, a racial divide was sheared into the nation for the first time since that Civil Rights Movement. I personally have witnessed the affects of this as have many others nationwide.
It's caused more division than unity despite the best of intentions and the wealth of great orators and thinkers on the latter side of 2000. Despite best efforts, most movements lead to more division than unity.
Much like 1848, when revolutions started at every corner in the European industrial dark age. The rise of socialism, anarchy, and nationalism stemmed from this very era, followed by the unification of Italy and Germany which required more wars and ultimately led to the arms races to come at the turn of the 20th Century. Despite the mass spreading of ideas, there was far more division.
History is very much cyclical, and this is very noticeable today when you see tensions rising between China and Hong Kong, and by extension, Taiwan. You see a war possibly brewing between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region. You see terrorism. You see the United Nations funneling money to both sides. You see Russia and the United States controlling satellite states and pitting them against each other. You see Israel and Palestine still at war with one another over the right to their land. Each of these events happened in the 1950s, and are happening again in the 2010s, bleeding into the 2020s.
Noticing this is only purpose for me to keep track of these coincidences to see what they lead to. I'll be writing later on about the ideas of the flow of time - how it is both linear and circular - and the evidence of the cycles of history such as the rise and fall of the kings of Israel, the ancient classical Greeks and Romans and the Renaissance period, the Crusades and the Reformation, the collapse of the Mongolian Empire and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the empires of Napoleon and the empires of Hitler, the constant wars between the Philistines and the Hebrews and the constant wars between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the formation of the Jesuits and the formation of ISIS, I could reiterate these findings over and over, but the most significant of these is what these current events mean on a geo-political scale.
