Do you think the 2020's reminds you of the 1970's

Samof94:
Anyone feel this decade reminds them of the 1970's, especially economically and to a lesser extent, the end of Afghanistan being like the end of Vietnam.

Vosem:
Maybe? I sometimes hear this, particularly from right-wing sources. (Another version of this is something like the War on Terror 2000s were a silly reenactment of WW2, the wokeist 2010s were a silly reenactment of the Civil Rights Movement, so we'll get silly reenactments of the 1970s/1980s next). I'm not sure this follows but it has a certain logic to it.

I think I've written elsewhere that the Biden Presidency feels like it has some obvious parallels to the GHWB Presidency.

Mr. Smith:
Possibly, but only if this decade is an extension of the 2010's, which were very much like the 70's.

dw93:
I think the 2010s were more like the 70s than the 2020s thus far have been. I feel there's more of a parallel to the early 80s at the moment.
