I am so fucking tired. From all this bullshit. From escalation managers. From fucking russians in my replies telling me how they want their stinky genocidal shithole to be rebuilt like postww2 Japan. From fucking air raid siren. From not sleeping properly because worrying about my family

Theory:

Pizza types in the USA are city based because they mostly originate in immigrant communities preWW2.

Burger types are franchise based because they originate in highway restaurants postWW2.

Have far back does this principle go? This the 80th time the US has done something like this in the postww2 era.

very recency-biased take

the first 150ish years of industrial capitalism were awful for most; 20th cty social democracy is what made people better off, especially postWW2

plus state-backed public health work e.g the WHO eradicating smallpox

that's where all the nice hockey stick graphs come from

Since Reagan's election the extreme right has been working 24/7 on never letting the 60s and 70s happen again. They fought the 50 year war to get where they are today. Limbaugh, Gingrich, the Tea Party, Fox TV, cable all weaponized to undermine the New Deal and expanded rights of postWW2.

I've mentioned this a few times, but it's worth recalling that, postww2, Nazi's responded to both de facto and de sure prohibitions by swapping out "cosmopolitan rootless Jews" with "illegal migrants." Hoping that nationalism seemed innocuous.
Fascists love scapegoating. For Hitler it was Jews; for Trump it's migrants -- particularly those of different skin color. But it's still fascism, even if our cowed media are too petrified to use the word.

remember the postWW2 brain drain? this time it's US.

I've loved this 1961 image for a long while. I thought I'd try to find out if these towers were still around.

I'm reworking a chapter of my thesis for journal publication. The topic? How historians worked with librarians to create nationally relevant research collections postWW2.

As this work focuses on the work of early Australian-Pacific historians, I'm spending a lot of time with ANU history:

The Nazis postWW2 said the same thing when the Nuremberg trials were commencing.

A complete takeover of health research in the USA by right wing politics. A complete breakdown of the postWW2 social contract with science.
NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.

NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.
Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities
The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

As @tcmtv.bsky.social is airing MY REPUTATION (1946), I’m sharing my piece I wrote comparing it with similar plot in ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS (1955). In both- attractive widowed moms get pressured from their kids, friends, and society conventions in postWW2. #tcmparty

I think the destruction of institutions and values that have come to define a stylized America in the postWW2 era has yet to be reckoned with.

Freeland here discusses foreign affairs, rightly so, but the domestic politics matters too. And we are not going to return to an normal Obama or earlier

Then we will all enjoy sitting in the ruins of our economy and the PostWW2 order. But, on the bright side, we may forced the EU to become a truly federalized system. So they will be there when we are toast.

I honestly thought at least 2 postWW2 generations of Americans fattened on Raiders well fucking knew who the bad guys are, eternally.

God Obliterating Vajra is kinda like if disco elysium was set in magical realist postww2 wuxia southeast asia and the main character was a femme nonbinary tagalog sun wukong and the kim kitsuragi is a toxic tantric vaguely filchi witch who hates the mc

the usmnt is still very heavily a product of the postww2 order/nato consensus. so many halfgerman nationals

Add to your list :

Assign a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute those in the Trump administration for crimes against humanity. Nuremberg style. Trump may be immune per SCOTUS but his flying monkeys are not and “ I was following orders “ should not apply now any more than it did postWW2

A fairly balanced article on the 'long tail' of eugenics in Australia. Surprisingly, quotes me extensively. Let's hope it generates more historical analysis of the recursions of eugenics postWW2. Although patterns vary, the recurrent appeal needs critical study - surely a long tale!

Great science, uncomfortable history: Sir Gustav Nossal and the long tail of eugenics
Book says one of Australia’s most eminent scientists promoted discussion of eugenics in the 1960s and 70s, but not that he supported racist ideas – and researchers praise his thorough commitment to re...

Feel free to come back to this if you want or when youve come down but - while im by no means a history buff - I think those postWW2 western attacks on the USSR & how they socially manifested (bread lines, barren shelves, etc) are the capitalist blueprint for false framing as 'failures of communism'

I have friends and fam on both sides of this one

Got the postWW2 Holocaust education, been a supporter of Israel until started reading some well known writers.

Not ignorant about the history, but avoid flame wars like the plague cause.. lets just say heart conditions 🫤 I refuse to become enraged

🎯This IS END of postWW2 peace.

We’ve failed (AGAIN) as adv species. Not sure if I’m furious or heartbroken (both?). As a sci-fi enthusiast, WELL educated in history &(ex)eternal optimist, I’d hoped we were progressing.😔

C/b manageable if NATO realigns instead of collapses but 🇺🇸will never be same.🤷‍♀️
