Isn't it amazing that, for all of us, at one point the intersetion of politics, history, bilogy and all kinds of other fields seemed impossibly complicated. Yet, the more you read the more there are only a dozen or so patterns that mostly explain everything, and therefore give us direction?
Even mother fucking Patton knew.
When multiple lines of evidence, from different fields of study converge, and paint the same picture, you have to accept the facts. That's why I'm stunned at the inability of most people to recognize the patterns that are playing out in our country now. Those who don't learn from the past are condemned to repeat the same mistakes, again and again. This is blatantly evident in the liberals quest for a socialist society. Yeah, like that's ever worked out in the past.
Every generation must learn from scratch.
And few even get exposure to enough facts to show the pattern.
The internet has changed everything.
