@JoyceCarolOates The Pendulum effect.

@joycecaroloates The "progressives" are the ones clamping down on freedom.

@JoyceCarolOates Feminism is swinging to Puritanism.

@JoyceCarolOates Like Hitler, huh? I mean, everyone say's bad things about him, but he was a painter too. So, what if he murdered millions?

Islamic culture only swings one way. https://twitter.com/joycecaroloates/status/668512095416279040 … @JoyceCarolOates

@JoyceCarolOates sure let's simplify the entirety of anthropology and sociology

@JoyceCarolOates "puritans objected to Bishops, not beer."

@JoyceCarolOates because you say/think so? There's a lot of grey area in the micro.

@JoyceCarolOates agreed....and now Baby Boomers have swung the US to the extreme of permissiveness - "Moderation in all things" Greeks Right

@JoyceCarolOates video games for real and they make the rules of the game

@JoyceCarolOates If Cultures have culture these swings tend to tackle taste, not retaliation. Derived from #AntonioGramsci

@JoyceCarolOates When granted freedoms, there are those who choose to take adv of others via crime & control, thus the need for order

@JoyceCarolOates your pic indicates you're in the Puritanical stage

@JoyceCarolOates Lord David Cecil's Melbourne nicely captures such oscillation.

@JoyceCarolOates Killing others in almost all cultures remains a constant, sadly.

@joycecaroloates I like freedom.
