Approximately one war every 80 years is what we're on pace for.
Gotta wait for the last people who experienced the horrors first hand to finally retire from power.
Yeah I actually think this is literally why. As a species we can write things down all we want but we struggle to truly understand things we didn't experience.
Even our living memory fades fairly fast. Maybe, at best, a couple years before people can be convinced the past is different than it actually was.
Maybe we should put VR to good use finally.
America is involved in waaay more than a war every 80yrs.
There was Irak, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Vietnam at the very least.
No but the white wars against white supremacists were in 1860 and 1940 so 80 years apart.
White imperialism against white imperialism you mean.
White surpremacy was not an issue for WW2 America.
Given that it took another 100 years from 1860 until formal equal rights regardless of race were established we should mabye just call them wars between white supremacists and other white supremacists.
