does history actually repeat itself?

a seemingly unending war in which there are EXTREME protests about

presidential scandals

marijuana

womens rights

immigration

nuclear weaponry

the gay rights movements

the new left

beatles = one direction?

second wave feminism

it all seems like one big circle

a seemingly unending war in which there are EXTREME protests about happening since the turn of the millennium, Vietnam didn't last that long.

presidential scandals happens every election

marijuana Various states didn't legalize marijuana in the 60s and marijuana has always been relevant so ???

womens rights Agree

immigration I don't know what you mean

nuclear weaponry Nothing nearly as dire as the Cuban missile crCIA, which was in the 70s.

the gay rights movements Agree

the new left At least the hippies weren't in power back then

beatles = one direction? Grasping at straws/boybands have always been relevant since the 60s

second wave feminism Feminism may have had a speck of credibility back then but nowadays it's pointless
