I heard about this book when I was young, and the older I get the realer it becomes.
“Future Shock” by Alvin Toffler, written circa 1970. The author, a sociologist, predicted that as the world moved from the Industrial Age to the Digital Era many people would be unwilling/unable to deal with the new realities.
“Conservatives” all over the world are working harder and harder to hold onto the past.
Your first line is “Western leadership didn’t tweet their every racist thought to the public.”
My first line was “… being racist was the default position for any Western leader in that era.”
In what world is that me agreeing with you?
Also, at this moment I see your comment is -9 and mine is +24 points. I only mention to show that not many people agree with your interpretation of the facts.
Accelerationism is a great idea.
I don’t care how many people die now, because it will bring a glorious time in the future.
Accelerationism is Christianity with Lenin replacing Jesus
WRONG!
You hype the Dems in public every chance you get.
The GOP once elected a dead pimp because they don’t care.

Dennis Hof, the Nevada brothel owner and reality TV personality, was posthumously elected to the Nevada State Assembly in November 2018 for the 36th district, even though he died just 21 days earlier on October 16, 2018 Wikipedia+1.
Hof, who had been a Republican since 2016, ran against Democratic challenger Lesia Romanov in a heavily Republican district that included parts of Nye County and surrounding rural areas BuzzFeed News. He was known for his flamboyant style, his HBO reality series Cathouse, and his self-proclaimed role as the “Trump of Pahrump”
The older I get the more relevant this scene from ‘Life Of Brian’ becomes.
Everything you wrote is wrong. Sorry, but I can’t say it any other way.
First, being racist was the default position for any Western leader in that era. FDR having Black combat troops was a hugely controversial idea. People knew what Churchill had done in India.
Read ‘The Autobiography of Malcom X.’ There were plenty of Black Americans who believed that the system was perfect. Plenty of colonized peoples thought that ‘the Mother Country’ had done them a favor by civilizing them.
By that logic, no one should have supported racist America and colonist Britain against the Nazis.
Yes, Trump is a criminal. But it’s important to point out that he’s a second rate criminal.
Trump has been tied to the NY Mafia since his early days. You don’t put up buildings in Manhattan or casinos in New Jersey without ‘connections.’
The thing is, which mobsters was he dealing with on a day to day basis? Do you think a Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, is going to spend time with a loud mouth fool like Donnie? Someone who can’t be trusted to keep their mouth shut? No, the big bosses sent their disposable stooges, and that’s who Trump learned from.
A real boss would have extorted $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016. Trump is Fredo, is every sense of the word.
