      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Robin Hanson

      1/ I read this yesterday and it made me realize how deeply we are into the American Cultural Revolution, and that made me start to think about cultural revolutions (henceforth "CR") more generally. Where they come from, how they end, what happens after they end.https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1223308127413497856 …

      2/ I know of three things that pattern match to CR: French Revolution, China's CR under Mao, and the current Great Awokening in the US and Western Europe. One theory is that CRs come from above (e.g. Mao's). Another is that they come from below (France? The US ?).

      3/ One friend (not at all red-tribe, so don't dismiss the following as pattern matching to Alex Jones) suggests that Soros has greatly increased the intensity of the American CR by funding and selectively helping small groups. So, top down.

      4/ Another friend has suggested that the crash of 2008, which cut off gainful employment for tons of kids graduating with liberal arts degrees, at the EXACT SAME TIME as the rise of high-metrics-online media channeled this cohort into a machine that rewarded them for outrage.

      5/ It's an interesting question, and one I want to understand, but don't fully yet. Another interesting question is how do CRs end ? The Chinese CR ended, officially, with Mao's fiat, but ended more fully after he died, under Deng Xiaoping.

      6/ The French CR ended ... how, exactly? With the success of the French Revolution? With the end of the First Republic? I don't know. I can generate three theories for endings: * the CR side wins completely and has nothing more to prove / no enemies yet to kill * CR loses

      7/ ...and finally: * CR runs out of enthusiasm / calories. Ooh, wait, a fourth one. There's one story, I maybe heard it from @hradzka , about how one Mid Eastern terror brigade was dismantled: the leadership married off all of the young fighters, gave them stipends.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Robin Hanson

      8/ I agree. Anyone else want to nominate other CRs? (However, one theory: perhaps CR can't exist without sufficient information technology. This dovetails with my theory that Hitler can't exist without radio and trains.)https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1223310206332882944 …

      Surely there must be more than these 2 prior precedents. Would really help to have a larger dataset to work with.

      The Russian revolution got to be there. The spread of Christianity, especially late (e.g. Scandinavia) probably qualifies as well.

      10/ Anyway, I'd love to see a full science of CRs: * how they form * using that knowledge, how to prevent them * how they end * using that knowledge, how to end them earlier, with a lower body count

          If you want a casual starting place, check out Mike Duncan's REVOLUTIONS podcast. He's doing Russia right now. It's not a cultural revolution, but for my money the most important one for right-leaning (normie or otherwise) Americans to listen to is Duncan's series on Haiti.

          This is probably excellent advice, but I 200% can't stand podcasts.

          On your 4th point you have 2 options. Either decapitation strikes or ironically, maximizing the body count. Make the CR too expensive to prosecute. I don't believe China and France style endstage CR's are even possible in the era of the modern insurgent.

          Replying to @deadhardware @MorlockP @hradzka

          CR's need show trials and that's a weakness that the insurgent can exploit. Show trials function as both a way to assert power and as a religious service for the CR. This results in dense concentrations of CR personnel and supporters. I'm sure you can do that math.

          GP CRs usually end poorly, often with a substantial percentage of the population dead and the economy destroyed. Oh, also the Cuban Revolution and the Chavismo Revolution in Venezuela.

          It's hard to avoid the urge to start the helicopters / service the woodchipper when I read some of that stuff. Lowering the bodycount is a very good aim. I hope it's still possible at this point.
