"Mr. Garelick’s...is based on his study of the Strauss-Howe generational theory — the notion that distinct groups throughout history share characteristics and values that cycle anew every 18 to 20 years." nytimes.com/2021/11/21/bus…
Steve Bannon didn't do teen comedies...instead he hijacked the Straus-Howe Theory to make one of his crappy films. But for total different purposes. He made Generation Zero. hishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cUAJ6Gc6Zo
"Strauss and Howe argue that the last five centuries ...sequence every 80-100 years, the length of a long human life, or what the ancients called a “saeculum.” These generational archetypes are: Prophet, Nomad, Hero, and Artist. artofmanliness.com/character/know…
Strauss/Howe Theory can be accurately described as pop science. A simplistic theory that requires a racist/nationalist/ideological conformity to play out accurately. Globalization has nuked any sort of simple explanation for generational or economic change.lifecourse.com/about/method/t…
Neil Howe actually complains that Steve Bannon got his worldview from his works. "we did perhaps provide him with an insight — that populism, nationalism and state-run authoritarianism would soon be on the rise, not just in America but around the world."

"Despite a new tilt toward isolationism, the United States could find itself at war. I certainly do not hope for war. I simply make a sobering observation: Every total war in U.S. history has occurred during a Fourth Turning, and no Fourth Turning has yet unfolded without one. "
Howe is correct that isolationism does usually let global assholes get bolder until America suddenly says enough. But America is only 244 years old. The truth? We are living in the most peaceful era in American history. Per population count, even more so. prospect.org/power/american… 
It might be worth noting that the biggest threat to American stability and prosperity comes from within. Steve has plenty of rich folk all fired up for his Apocalypse Lap Dance.
Steve is the Stupid Guy's Rasputin, or maybe Wes Studi's Sphinx to the autoparts, hedge funders, oil well owners, right wing inheritance trustfunders crowd. vox.com/policy-and-pol…
I suppose there is big money in predicting global collapse, apocalyptic events or even insisting that chaos will grip humanity. But sorry Steve.....britannica.com/list/10-failed…
Right now Steve is paying his alimony by romacing a gullible Chinese national. Hey...lets all take down the CCP!
Next week "Godwin's Law" and right wing assholes on the internet "the longer an internet argument goes on, the higher the probability becomes that something or someone will be compared to Adolf Hitler." vox.com/policy-and-pol…
