You hear them bang on and on about this cycle:

Bad times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create bad times.

This is absolutely true, 100%

So the facists are right!

Too bad they confuse who the strong and weak men are…

Sorry for the rage bait title, I just wanted to joke a bit.

Bad times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create bad times.

This garbage is derived from “The fourth turning” Strauss–Howe generational theory. Which can best be explained by H. L. Mencken

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

It’s absolutely insane that the boomers were so arrogant they never realized their favorite quote was shittalking about them.

I have a special bottle of cognac for Kissinger and I was abroad for work when he returned whence he came. I haven’t opened it yet given how shit the situation everywhere is, but maybe celebrating small wins is vital even when important stuff is happening.

Bad times create strong men, when they’re wise and rightly guided, else they just traumatize people. Strong men create good times, if you define strong as virtuous and not just “physically imposing” or even just emotionally resilient. Good times create weak men, when “good” is defined as “hedonistic, consumeristic and with no ethical expectations”. And weak (morally wormy, stupid, etc) men do create bad times. 🤷

  Bad times leave resilient people an create broken people. A lot of people suffer from bad times, some people profit a lot from bad times.
  
  Survivors of bad times don’t want to have bad times again, so they try to prevent them.
  
  Better times make people forget how bad the bad times were and people who profited from the bad times try to recreate them. The longer ago the bad times are, the easier it gets for them.

How long does champagne last before it goes stale or bad? Trump and Putin are pretty old so it probably won’t take that long, but Musk in particular might be a challenge.

  The larger bottles are bottles I got from work a few years ago, they probably suck, I may just get a Plantation Planetray gift box with small bottles of rum and use those instead…
  
  It would look cool to have the bottles prepared in the giftbox with ribbons tied to them…
  
  Yeah, I’ll change over to that, and post a pic when I get the chance

  it depends on how it’s stored, and a lot of the problems will come from the cork rather than the wine.
