CannCon and Ashe in America return to the Badlands Book Club for Chapter 9 of The Fourth Turning, diving deep into “Fourth Turnings in History.” With humor, sharp analysis, and a few hurricane jokes, they unpack Neil Howe and William Strauss’s theory that history moves in repeating cycles of crisis and renewal. From the War of the Roses to World War II, they trace how catalysts spark cultural rebirth and debate when America’s current Fourth Turning began, 9/11, the 2008 crash, or something still unfolding. Ashe connects modern “intersectionality” and victim culture to cyclical social breakdowns, while CannCon draws parallels between COVID-era conformity and historical crises of authority. They explore the predictability of societal collapse, the role of global elites, and whether humanity’s rhythm has been hacked. It’s a rich blend of philosophy, history, and speculation, with plenty of Badlands banter and even a little pop culture thrown in.
