It is not talked enough about the fact that the US won the Cold War primarily because of things like McDonalds, Jeans, Hollywood, and Coca-Cola, not because of CIA fuckery.

Probably because it's not true?

Honestly if you'd had to eat nothing but boiled potatoes and cabbage for the last 70 years you'd line up for a big mac too.

So this is how society collapses. A massive boom where everyone is excited and fascinated like never before, then a massive bust where we have seen all that there is to see and nothing pleases us any longer.

that's awesome, we take mcdonalds for granted because it seems like there's one on every corner, but often we forget that not everyone is as fortunate

Yes it is. The Cold War was really a cultural/economic war, not a military one.

You know how at the beginning of WW1, nobody actually knew how they were supposed to fight and still had calvary divisions until it finally trench warfare began to take place? Or how in WW2, the French just created the Maginot Line thinking that’d be enough to ward off another German invasion?

The Cold War was just like that. It fundamentally evolved the way wars are fought. The US lost Vietnam, lost the Space Race, and struggled to keep countries south of them from flipping communist.

But the US still won because everyone around the world saw them as being cool as fuck. People saw them listening to cool music, eating cool food, watching cool movies, wearing cool clothes, and everyone wanted to live there. That’s why the Soviet Union fractured. They wanted to be Americans.
