Edited to replace original incorrect Herzog attribution with my own version that correctly attributes the quote
i dont think it was always fucked up, there was always some amount of fucked up, but there’s vastly more amounts of fucked up now.
those are specific selections of fucked up ness in society. At some point that was considered to societal norm, people pushed outside of it, as the government and society intends to happen, shit gets goofy, eat sleep repeat and gay people are normal now.
we’re also talking about a specific problem in politics, manifested in a very specific way today, that wouldn’t have been possible merely 20 years ago, so i think it’s fair to treat this like a sort of historically true fact.
unless you’re trying to argue that humanity has been a constant state of bad throughout it’s entire history, which i doubt, and also changes from person to person. It’s not really relevant to go that far back i think.
they’re not selections in the cherry picking sense; the country’s history is a constant stream of oppression and political violence.
only one of them is a specific event, but i pointed it out it was particularly fucked up. but the rest aren’t specific at all; they’re entire periods of time where the “fucked up” was the norm, and the law.
i don’t exactly understand what you think we’re talking about. you say it’s a “specific problem” but didn’t specify it really. so i don’t know what’s supposedly impossible merely 20 years ago.
but merely 20 years ago gays couldn’t marry. 20 some years before that the AIDS epidemic was ignored because the government thought it was a gay problem and didn’t care.
there was always oppression and there still is. the orange cunt didn’t invent anything. he just started saying the quiet part out loud.
