Been reading about generational theory, namely The Fourth Turning Is Here by Howe, and given where we are, this passage going to sit with me for years to come
Passage from The Fourth Turning Is Here by Howe: “Back in the mid-1970s, Ronald Reagan famously declared that the ten most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you." Stanford historian Ian Morris, who has argued at great length (with Holmes and against James) that war is indeed inev-itable, observes that Reagan's quip could only make sense at a uniquely secure moment in a uniquely comfortable corner of the world. For most of humanity and throughout most of history, writes Morris, the ten most terrifying words are "There is no government, and I'm here to kill you." War, he implies, is what happens when people are lucky enough to have an effective government willing to protect them.”

Photo of Michael Sheen and the other rococo vampires from the even more hilarious Twilight sequels looking simultaneously bored-with-it-all and superior with text overhead that reads "Autism Acceptance Month is about to start. Anyone not accepted by an Autistic person before April 20th will be yeeted into the sun."
