… so not much has changed in a hundred years then.
Now we also have climate dread and mass surveillance.
one of the Good subs was called 100YearsAgo, people post HQ scans of old newspapers and photos from today in 1923. it’s very fascinating seeing how language changed / didn’t change, the attitudes around politics, women, prohibition, the minimum wage, etc
Wow I wish they were on her
That’s what…he said? 🤷
Whoops, I ment here
I found this one to be particularly interesting. Based Jule Cantwell and Helen Unger was right on with “lots” - it remains quiet popular!
That’s a good idea for a lemmy community. Maybe I’ll set one up for that.
I just set up a reposter bot
Ok actually, I just wrote a bot that reposts pictures from the subreddit to a Lemmy community, so you can still have them in your feed :-D
I just want to add that currently the extremist right polls quite high in Germany. In some states its the second largest party.

Just like 100 years ago. Where do you think Hitler got most of his ideas about black people from?
The English, Scandinavian and European aristocracy?
I believe Hitler specifically spoke of the US about this. Sure, lots of places had issues with race, but the US has always been bad about it.
Wouldn’t want the fascists to feel lonely.
They did the last time as well.
At least Germany now has a more robustly designed constitution
Plus fascism was on the rise!

Double whoosh
You meant 100 right?
Don’t forget, they were just out of a worldwide pandemic that killed tens of millions.
Don’t forget the virus at the start of the 20s…
Hey at least we skipped the first
The Y2K bug means we’re actually living in 1923 again. Which means that the BBC was just founded, silent films are still around, and the Ottoman Empire just collapsed. Also, color isn’t invented yet.
So how am I able to post this comment? Idk, use your imagination, I guess.
Sorry I collapsed the Ottoman Empire I didn’t mean to :(
Marx remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He did add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
The rampant fascism is missing from the list. But all good otherwise.
The more things change, the more they stay the same…
All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
So say we all!
Is this a paradox?
Electro swing is back in vouge too
That’s the big difference between the 1920s and 2020s. The 1920s had swing, but now that we’re in the future we have electro swing! It changes everything
Harambe died for our electro-swing
The only major difference between THESE twenties and THOSE twenties is that people had nicer clothes back then. :P
A bygone era yes
Soooooo…
