what evolutionary advantage self pity-ever carried
maybe its there to counter our natural thirst for revenge at wrongdoings, perceived or real.
imagine a scenario where one tribe wipes out all but one member of another, a young man who ran away. His choices are either to flee forever (and maybe survive) or die trying to enact some token revenge against his enemy. Running from something like that likely foments guilt and self pity, but its also the only path towards survival in some situations.

WW2 mythos
WWII's monolithic cultural universality is definitely waning as we approach its centennial anniversary, but i don't think kanye's tweets are some sort of canary for us to look to for signs of danger.
The guy, and i kinda feel bad for him even though he only has a few songs i really liked, seems to have actually lost his damn mind. People speculate as to the cause of this, was it pete davidsons giant schlong, was it his mom's death, was it his divorce that broke his tenuous grasp on reality? Nah. the guy has been doing rich people levels of the wrong drugs, hes been talking a lot about inhaling nitrous. Bro has prettymuch all the symptoms of inhalant induced brain damage and his cultural relevance will quickly fade for the normies as he transforms in real time from an avant garde rapper to a terry davis-esque lolcow insane guy yelling schizo word salad about nazi's and jesus and sucking dicks.
the hippies and their ideological descendants
idunno if this even exists at a meaningful scale, Hippies were all about free love and radical acceptance of others. Free love, the idea that fucking whoever you want to is fun and healthy and something only prudes get upset over, has fallen pretty far out of favor (probably for the best) and instead the left scrutinizes power dynamics and racial biases in sexual preferences (probably not helping anybody)
Radical acceptance has likewise given way to oppression power level science which i'm sure we can all agree is fun for everyone involved.
The most direct ideological descendants of the hippies i know of are the "rainbow family", which , surprisingly, arent all gay people. Theyre a group of turbo wooks that try as hard as possible to make burningman style commune parties across the country and "ban" the use of money at their communes. I don't think they have any pull in leftist political circles.

Are you certain there wasn't some form of de facto splitting into higher and lower performance PE classes? How it worked back at my highschool was that there were multiple tiers of phys ed offered, and on paper the most advanced course was intended for senior students, but in actuality any sports team members and anyone who just wanted to participate was in this more demanding "just train with the football team and their coaches" tier as soon as they wanted to be.

Lastly, who really believes that Trump will not tire of Musk in four years?
I do wonder what becomes of their alliance once the honeymoon phase of this term cools down. Imagine trump eventually does something that musk doesn't love being associated with, does musk have the ability to grin and bear it, or would he be tempted to resign from his thankless government job to be a humble private sector executive again?
so yeah heres me playing my guitar AND THEN I PULL MY GIANT DICK OUT WOOOO
