"I am too "end of history" pilled to understand how Russians can support the war in Ukraine. Do they really want to absorb a country of 39 million people who hate their guts? Ukrainians have made it pretty clear how strongly they feel about this."
"like everyone seemed significantly happier (or maybe just more complacent lol) and all the art seemed significantly cooler. everything feels enshrouded in this like, very carefree "end of history" feeling, like everyone knew that whatever came next would be significantly worse and shittier"

"I mean anything between the Soviet collapse and 9/11. If you look at Tom Clancy's output during that time he goes absolutely schizophrenic in the absence of a real enemy of America. You owe it to yourself to watch a thriller from the era of US history where the dog finally caught the car."
Action movies made during the End of History are really funny. · u/Burnnoticelover · ↑86 · 2024-06-25
"Most people, regardless of their political alignment, believe that we're at the end of history. Divorcing our cultural framework of the world from the historical basis, and the material condition it evolved from and see it as the absolute truth."
