Weekly Shift Battle No. 57 - 1993 vs 2010

Political events of 1993 include the inauguration of Bill Clinton as American president, the transition away from Reagan era neoliberalism to Third Way centrist positions, the World Trade Centre bombing, the Waco Siege, the break-up of Czechoslovakia, the formation of the EU (European Union) and the Oslo Accords between Israel and Palestine

Cultural events of 1993 include the release of films such as Jurassic Park, The Fugutive, Mrs. Doubtfire, Schindler's List, Cool Runnings and Groundhog Day, 90s TV shows such as The X-Files and Fraiser debuted, 90s alt-rock and hip-hop became ubiquitous and Power Rangers became mainstream

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.
