one of the Good subs was called 100YearsAgo, people post HQ scans of old newspapers and photos from today in 1923. it's very fascinating seeing how language changed / didn't change, the attitudes around politics, women, prohibition, the minimum wage, etc

I found this one to be particularly interesting. Based Jule Cantwell and Helen Unger was right on with "lots" - it remains quiet popular!
-
Ok actually, I just wrote a bot that reposts pictures from the subreddit to a Lemmy community, so you can still have them in your feed :-D
-
That's a good idea for a lemmy community. Maybe I'll set one up for that.

I just set up a reposter bot

I just want to add that currently the extremist right polls quite high in Germany. In some states its the second largest party.
-
Unfortunately the AFD (Nazi party over here. Like there's no sugar coating it. They're literally the Nazi party) has an approval rating of 11% among the population pollswnd it's quite concerning.
I do not like to think about the fact that 1/10 people I meet are straight up neonazis :/
-
At least Germany now has a more robustly designed constitution
-
Don’t forget, they were just out of a worldwide pandemic that killed tens of millions.

The Y2K bug means we're actually living in 1923 again. Which means that the BBC was just founded, silent films are still around, and the Ottoman Empire just collapsed. Also, color isn't invented yet.
So how am I able to post this comment? Idk, use your imagination, I guess.

Don't forget the virus at the start of the 20s....

Hey at least we skipped the first

Marx remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He did add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
-
The rampant fascism is missing from the list. But all good otherwise.
-
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
-
All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
-
So say we all!

Is this a paradox?

Electro swing is back in vouge too
-
That's the big difference between the 1920s and 2020s. The 1920s had swing, but now that we're in the future we have electro swing! It changes everything
-
Harambe died for our electro-swing

-
The only major difference between THESE twenties and THOSE twenties is that people had nicer clothes back then. :P
-
A bygone era yes
-
Soooooo...

Ukraine is at warwith Russia because they got invaded, don't twist it

You mean the part where most women I know get harassed or groped when they go clubbing, and bars letting only men do rounds to retrieve glasses since the women get groped to the point they cannot work?
Yeah, no, way easier.
-
Just to be pedantic: they have it easier now. They are allowed to vote for example. But we are obviously not "there" yet, as your example vividly shows.

... so not much has changed in a hundred years then.
Now we also have climate dread and mass surveillance.
Don't be fooled. Climate scientists already knew things were going to go bad 80-100 years ago and we still didn't listen to them.
Now just as they predicted, we are in the middle of a climate crisis that is only going to get worse from here.
