This is Iran now. https://t.co/3uWU44BGjM This scene from Iran is reminiscent of Seattle in the 90s. But as Seattle fell to fundamentalist wokes (eg CHAZ), it became much more holy & much less cool. Meanwhile, as Iran secularizes away from fundamentalism, parts of it have become cooler than today’s Seattle. Blue America once produced world class music and film. Then it fell to woke fundamentalism. As we know, that ended humor. But it also ended art. All culture moved to the Internet instead.

These are the quoted author’s words.

The Cool War Thesis: America is transitioning from the coolest country in the world to the holiest country in the world. From blue jeans & counterculture to blue checks & cancel culture.
