History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.
Dr. Zuess political art? Never knew that existed.
Man was deeply anti fascist
Is this fight truly eternal?
Humanity is shit and thus we will NEVER overcome greed and lust for power so yes, it is indeed truly eternal.
Post scarcity resources society would no longer fight over resources, but would likely still continue fighting over control over each other. Medical and technical breakthroughs leading to people living hundreds of years or longer would still fight over cultural issues regardless if there’s a monoculture or freedom of cultural expression. As long as there are humans there will likely be individual vs collective power struggles.
One interesting idea is that humanity may destroy itself, or it may lead to one or more progeny species that are no longer human. The Copernican principle is that Earth isn’t in some privileged position, but more likely observations of the universe from Earth are representative of the average around the universe. The idea can be extended to the Copernican method (not by Copernicus, and questionably scientific) to make predictions about the longevity of all sorts of things. If we can assume we’re close to the middle of humanity with about 100 billion people existing before us, we can then calculate based on population projections how much more time another 100 billion would take, somewhere between ~800-18,000 years. It doesn’t predict the cause of the end, maybe destruction, maybe mutating into something new to continue on, but evolution is still active today in all species based on natural and artificial survival pressures. Maybe one of those post human species will be able to shed some of our common faults.

“Maybe the Singularity happened years ago. We just don’t want to admit we were left behind.”
I think humanity will be longer lived then that, assuming nothing wipes us out. Homo Erectus lived for something like 2 million years. We’re babies in comparison.
So All Tomorrows without the Qu?
Exactly, or maybe Qu-like species develop too far from Earth’s biological origin to discover each other, like in another galaxy
Yes
inside the nose cone of the Spirit of St. Louis
The Swastika in the center of the nose cone was meant as a good luck symbol. (This was well before the Nazi party adopted the Swastika as its official emblem).

(Also the wrong orientation to be the Nazi symbol.)
Edit: I admit I may have missed the point of your post. It just occurred to me I don’t even know about the OP’s cartoon, which I now realize is probably referring to Lucky Lindy himself. Gonna go get my learn on.
Lindbergh nominates Henry Ford as Secretary of the Interior.
sounds familiar;-)
