All the way through high school (graduated in 1985) history classes stopped at 1945.

It would be interesting to find some statistics on public transit use by race in Southern cities, year by year, from 1945 onward. Plus Chicago and DC for never-segregated controls.

There's that Orwell quote from 1984 about the young women being the most fanatical supporters of Ingsoc and worshippers of Big Brother.

That election broke brains all across the country. In addition, they'll pile on you for "transphobia" for questioning the slightest aspect of the hysteria whipped up by the most hardline trans activists.

(follow the rabbit holes if you want your blood pressure to spike)
And there's a thread in the Pit called Whiteness and Capitalism go Hand in Hand
It's all so dreary.

ShitPoliticsSays and some of Political Compass Memes is still alright, though.
Stupidpol is explicitly a Marxist subreddit, so you have to kind of walk on eggshells there.

The Technology Connections guy, who was never in the least political before, devoted the last part of his latest video to an anti-Trump rant.
99% of Reddit, and virtually the entire Straight Dope Message Board (which was once a fun place to hang out, 20-25 years ago) has been infected with this mind virus. Both places are now hard-left, Weatherman style. Most of the threads in the SDMB's BBQ Pit (the forum for rants and flamewars) are now anti-Trump and anti-ICE tirades. Don't they ever get tired of this??
The only refuge I have is explicitly New Right/dissident-right Substacks.
That and KiwiFarms.
I really, really do not want to live in a country where this is the political mainstream. I wish Governor Spanberger would start building Canadian-style suicide booths so I can have a way out.
One reads in Carleton Putnam's Race and Reason that there was a widespread belief that the "cultural level" of blacks, in every nation, was "below" that of whites, and that free association between the races and especially intermarriage would "pull down" the white race's cultural level. Putnam doesn't mention it specifically, but a lot of white Southerners felt this was happening already with the popularity of rock-and-roll "jungle music" among white teenagers (some even thought it was part of a Communist plot!)
65 years on, looking at the global hip-hop phenomenon and "wiggers", one really has to wonder . . .
