Back in the day, there wasn't an industrialized country that did nor have young people, in the same (denim) uniform, smoking the same dope, acting and re-acting identically to various input, speaking the same language and unified under a common thread .... "US involvement in Viet Nam"
Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Australia, India and of course our own U S of A.
It seemed the entire world responded to our participation in an unfavorable war ? and the news from every land had identical pictures of sit ins, love ins, Woodstock-type music festivals and the like.
For a time, (imo and my own analysis) the planet was Satanically unified against a common enemy (The USA).
Now comes a report of our soul brother nation, Israel ... so many ways a reflection of our own values and world view, with the same crazies in their "congress".
Remove anything Israeli from this account and insert The United States and it makes perfect Texas, or squad, or democrat sense compared to our modern poitics
The parallels are not exact. But I dig it, man.
