Where are our Roaring Twenties? This century is such a flop.
@kimlockhartga Seriously. We've got the economic and political nightmares without a single flapper.
@SDZ And honestly, those flapper dresses look super comfy. Practical haircuts, loose necklaces, all of it appeals to me.
@kimlockhartga @SDZ be the flapp you wish to see in the world... or something
@kimlockhartga
You need to put off your headset to hear the roar...
@devinprater
@kimlockhartga well there is the roaring dumpster fire of our civilization ๐Ÿซค
@kimlockhartga you go flapper, I'll go fopp, and we'll get this party started one way or another, by god!
@kimlockhartga I've dubbed the 2020's as the decade of disasters but maybe the 2030's will be roaring if we survive this decade!
@kimlockhartga
Oh they're happening. Just that we can't afford the entrance ticket (as if they'd let us in anyway).

"The one thing that hasnโ€™t changed in the past 100 yearsโ€”and, for that matter, since the first humans walked the Earthโ€”is human nature. One can change styles of clothing and hair, change modes of transportation, even change politicians, but human nature never changes. Greed, lust, and the quest for power are embedded in each of us in every generation."

@aliceamour @kimlockhartga when you don't know the difference between human nature and culture

@kimlockhartga

Hey, hold your horses; the last time, it was about mid-1924 before the flappers hit critical mass.

These decades need to brew, they're not like microwave popcorn...

@kimlockhartga weโ€™ve been living the โ€˜30s since the financial collapse.
@kimlockhartga It is a roaringโ€ฆer, inferno. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

@kimlockhartga

The 1920's were dominated by a Republican trifecta & everyone partied. Then the 1930's happened and most people had to pay the price. This century has been a see-saw of plunder and controls, with only brief slices of either party having a trifecta.

@kimlockhartga We're lounging, building up the energy. That could be November speaking, though.
@ferricoxide

Hmmm... ๐Ÿ“Ž

Evil but Social

@ferricoxide Perfection.

It also reminds me of 1979: American hostages taken by radical terrorists, changes in American leadership from centrist to right wing, bands like Night Ranger and Foreigner (still performing), Georgia fighting for the National Championship (and getting it in 1980).
