Does anyone else feel like modern society is the endgame? I mean, no new countries are gonna be created anytime soon, no crazy new political beliefs are being cooked up, no new revolutions, no major political events that change the global scale in any meaningful way. It's all so boring. Just 100 years ago, empires were being created and falling, new inventions swept the globe and revolutions were happening in India, China and Mexico, not to mention WWI. It's just so stagnant, It feels like nothing of meaning has come out of the last century.

Alright, let's try this experiment.
Imagine you were born in X year of human history. Add to X your age so you get year Y.es: 1895(X)+22=1917(Y)
Imagine how many incredible events you would have seen from X to Y. Chances are that, with a few exceptions, it wouldn't have been much different from now after the early 1800s

This is what I mean, something like this would have been feasible in the year 1907, but not now, unless there was a civil war or something.

This unironically gets the brain in motion. I agree o.p, the developed world is frozen ideologically

Oh sweetie.
We are on the verge of civil wars
we are doomed to churn in the post-modern grist mill of a damned civilization

A 100 years ago the British were at the peak of their colonial expansion. Now the people of those colonies have taken over London, Birmingham, Manchester and many other cities of the colonizers. It might be a slow process but so was British colonization for most part.
The greatest colonizers are being colonised everyday in front of your eyes and you don't recognize it as major event......?
Every year one more British city becomes British minority. That's something to behold.....
And this is not going to stop anytime soon just because of the differential birth rates.
The complete colonization of Britain and many other parts of Europe by the formerly colonised is the greatest event of our times.

It doesn't look like it from the election results in France. Seems like majority of French are pretty damn happy with status quo policies.
