... so not much has changed in a hundred years then.

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

I just want to add that currently the extremist right polls quite high in Germany. In some states its the second largest party.

Plus fascism was on the rise!

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....

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.

The rampant fascism is missing from the list. But all good otherwise.

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 more things change, the more they stay the same...

Electro swing is back in vouge too

A bygone era yes

The only major difference between THESE twenties and THOSE twenties is that people had nicer clothes back then. :P

Soooooo...

Ghost has a fantastic song covering this exact topic with the exact same title.
