Hey folks! Holiday season is coming! Now that December has come, here's what you guys chose for a monthly topic:

History Repeated



So here are some details that may or may not serve as rough guidelines on the subject:

- The concept of eternal recurrence.
- Societal patterns throughout history.
- Political leaders emulating historical figures.
- The rise and fall of the great powers.
- The eternal pendulum between left and right.
- The cyclical nature of societal collapse.
- The cycle of recession.
- The neo- prefix in political theory.
- The anatomy of revolution.
- Nationalist exceptionalism.
- The curse of Russia's invaders.
- Curious examples of history repeated.
- Old fashion fads rediscovered.
- Climate change: is it cyclical?
- Multiple discovery in science.


And here's the poll for January!

What should be the next monthly topic?

1) Political Corruption
2) Good & Bad Economic Examples
3) Political Radicalism
4) Campaign Reform
5) The Space Race

Feel free to suggest more...

I am torn between options 3 and 5, because needing to be wary of the new fascist international on the one hand, and wanting to keep on eye on the future I want to help build to whatever degree I still can on another hand.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
