Are the 2020s more similar to the 1930s or 1960s?

In the 1930s, the world had the Great Depression, which I think we can say rivals today's economic and social crisis scenarios in severity. The 1960s saw a huge youth-driven social rebellion and revolution, and a lot of long-prevailing negative social trends like divorce, poverty, STDs, etc. either started the decade after or were linked directly/indirectly to the social changes during that period. (even though I can't tear on the 60s completely, as it had some of its good spots and effects.).

Maybe we are more like the 60s today. There is an echo of the social revolutionary aspects of the 60s, only this time it is Gen Z and younger millennials 'out-liberal'-ing their parents generation, and their focus is more on social and cultural stuff than the economy or class things.

The 1918 flu was so bad it basically forced the end of ww1. People wearing mask. People bitching about wearing mask.

It would resemble historic accounts of the 1930s or 1960s if there was a lot more religion. For the 1930s all social programs would have to vanish too. The church was the only social program.

You can only compare the present time to the 1930's because you don't know enough about the 1930's.

I say the 1930s. The 60s was really a period of prosperity and expansion. we are almost in a depression.

Depression? I'd LOVE to see some stats to back that up!!

@DrPepper12 We are already in a recession. If things get worse we will be in a deflationary period which many times predicts a depression.

[DrPepper12]

Wait. Wait. Wait!!! Deflation now? I thought Biden caused worldwide Inflation!! Show me ONE reputable source that says we are in a recession rn. Omg I can't wait for this!;

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 when there is a recession and instead of prices going up they start going down (deflation) it is an indicator that a depression will follow

[DrPepper12]

Source? I want to know who says we're in a recession.

They are most similar to 1920's in the Weimar Republic.

you have people paying four dollars for stupid ass cookies...

and while that's depressing AF... that is not "rivaling" any actual depression time...

[FunkyMonkee]

NOWHERE NEAR as good as the `60's!! It never COULD be!!

There might be a current that seems to repeat. But times are unique and do change. It is the stupid humans that don't learn from their mistakes.

[DrPepper12]

You should go back to HS and demand a legitimate education. Those eras are poor comparisons for contemporary times.
