It's fascinating to me how all these parts of the culture we take for granted have been born out of chaos, populism and technical progress just a century or two ago. And how very little discussion is there about it.
- pjc50 6y agoThere's a lot of this in history and cultural studies, but for some reason it doesn't always make it into popular awareness. And official history teaching tends to put a lot of emphasis on war, sometimes to the exclusion of all else. The kings/dates/battles approach.
- Rochus 6y agoYes, and it is to be feared that it would not take much to get back to that level.
