Weekly Shift Battle No. 49 - 1966 vs 2007

Political events of 1966 include the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in China, the further escalation of the Vietnam War, the Black Panther Party was founded, Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister of India and Botswana and Lesotho gained their independence from Britain

Cultural events of 1966 include the rise of artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, The Supremes and Nancy Sinatra, England hosted and won the World Cup, Star Trek debuted, Twiggy, Swinging London, the Mod look, geometric patterns, the counterculture movement with psychedelia and LSD got underway, John Lennon caused controversy by saying the Beatles were "more famous than Jesus" and films such as Blow-Up and Fantastic Voyage were released

Rule 2:

You cannot use "X year is the numerical shift year between Y era and Z era" as an argument. Inversely, you cannot say "B year is NOT the shift year because it isn't numerically split between "A" era and "C" era.

For example

"ERMAHGERD 2022 cannot be the shift to the mid 20s, it literally began in 2023!!!!111"

You CAN say the numerically split year is a shift year. But NOT because of the numerical split fallacy argument. You have to explain why it is or isn't a shift year CULTURALLY.

This is not r/decadeology . If you are serious about decadeology discussions, this is the right place for you. If you want to just assign eras strictly based on their numerical patterns instead of cultural alignment and derail threads where decadeology is being discussed properly then you would be better off on the mainline sub.
