#1 Sure, sex/drugs/rock-n-roll/love in the '70s.
Woke/Trans/Migrants/Murder in the '20s.

Seems to fit.

#2 Real history is a problem for many who cite it. One of the major issues of the War of 1812 was the use of the British of the native tribes in America to forestall the development of the Northwest Territories. They had been using the natives for decades as proxies. When American forces finally broke one major effort at the battle of Fallen Timbers they chased the natives to the gates of a British military fort on American soil. Newspapers in that part of the country referred to the situation as the Anglo-Indian War. No, the war did not end in the status quo as the native resistance had been effectively destroyed allowing for the settlement of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.

#7 Wave Theory

Grand Supercycle > Supercycle > Cycle

Elliott Wave Theory holds that each wave within a wave count contains a complete 5-3 wave count of a smaller cycle.

Mr Howe wrote, “turning” is about 20 years long, what the authors call the length of a generation [generational wave].

These four turnings are akin to the four seasons in nature, beginning with spring and ending with winter. These turnings then continue to repeat just like nature.

“The cycle begins with the First Turning, a “High” which comes after a crisis era.

“The Second Turning is an “Awakening,” when institutions are attacked in the name of higher principles and deeper values.”

“The Third Turning is an “Unraveling,” in many ways the opposite of the High.”

“Finally, the Fourth Turning is a “Crisis” period. This is when our institutional life is reconstructed from the ground up, always in response to a perceived threat to the nation’s very survival.”

Authors have stated America entered a new Fourth Turning in 2008. In their book published in 1997, they pegged the next crisis would in 2005. Three shy of the 2008 bubble. They conclude this turning will likely last until around 2030."

Previous Anglo-American Fourth Turnings:
- American Revolution (1773-1794)
- Civil War (1860-1865)
- Great Depression/World War II (1929-1946)
