>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 21 16:04:46 2017 No.9410415 hasn't happened yet. everyone is still writing about the 20th century unconsciously. We need to wait until people born in 2000 onwards come of age and write.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 21 18:00:40 2017 No.9410810 There is not such a thing as Zeitgeist. That's just a fancy word first worldlers use to refer to their specific culture and implicitly universalize it as "the" (human, world) culture.
