Are we in the fourth turning?

 

Note. I've never been big on the "cycle" theory. History might rhyme but it never repeats. It rhymes because human faults are universal and everlasting (while as long as humans exist) which is why things rhyme. One other thing that I find unique in the time period in which we exist (maybe not...humans are inherently evil in their base form), those in power push change thru crisis. Things that would never be allowed during "good" times are fully embraced in times of crisis. We've had back to back crisis over the last few years it seems.

According to this theory, an 80-year cycle is crucial, when every four generations is associated to a crisis…
