Google 1970s Iran vs now. It’s an interesting contrast of how quickly societies can change; and some would argue, not towards the future but backwards.

    Lol what are you even talking about, try to go out without hiding your hair in any muslim country and lol that just won’t fly.

    But lets go back to Eisenhower and blame him now I guess instead of being the slightest progressive here.

      You can’t be progressive without learning history, to find out the context of why things are the way they are. Or else people will keep making the same mistakes.

          The problem is that the USA is still doing this kind of stuff. WW2 was beyond most living people’s memory, but the Vietnam War, Iraq war, the war in Libya, their attempted coups in Venezuela and interference in Bolivia, their support of Saudi Arabia’s wars in Yemen, support of religious fighters who became Taliban in Afghanistan, and support of Israel’s genocide is all either within most people’s living memory or ongoing right now. We love roaming around the world messing in other people’s business lol.
