We're a decade into this shit and I still cannot get my mind around how America put the single worst human being it has produced in the postwar era in charge not once but twice.

The Trump administration is now bringing the postwar era to an end. No one should be surprised: this is what they said they would do. America's European and Asian allies need to adjust, quickly.

One thing I'm getting from rooting around in early postwar periodicals is that middlebrow culture was good, actually and we're impoverished for its demise.

this is why i say it's a form of hegemonic suicide. america had the entire postwar consensus built around it and decided liberal internationalism was woke
NATO leaders now speak Gaullism with an accent. Atlanticism is their first language. I do not think that will be the case 15-20 years from now.

Interesting that the Christian nationalists who decry the “postwar consensus” forget that “under God” wasn’t added until 1954.

I could assemble an oral history of “environmental disasters of the postwar era” from the replies and quotes of this.
Literally just lectured about this!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.
Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

Postwar literary fiction substituted the concept of "magic" for disinformation and propaganda
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

Also, if you’re measuring eras in terms of “technological innovation and deployment,” the postwar era of TV, computers, the moon landing etc seems kinda successful

The coalition of the willing is spending too much time on hypothetical postwar scenarios and not enough on pressuring Russia to actually end its war on Ukraine.

Without that pressure, the war will continue and postwar plans will be worthless

I think a lot lately about how very young people being able to spend money on leisure was a notable part of the postwar boom
you also can’t buy a ticket without a credit card. Like I was already on the kids’ side about a lot of this, but seriously go try to do any of the things you would expect them to spend evenings and weekends doing with friends and see how much it costs and how inaccessible it is if you’re a minor

anyway I have awesome news for anyone who ever envied the German societal self-reckoning of the immediate postwar years
