I've identified a reliable trend signal which peaks around April and then bottoms out around July Don't know if this has been posted before, but I found it years ago and decided not to say anything to prevent a kind of observer effect.
Specifically, this is the Marxist / Communist cycle, and it has been reliable as far as Google tracks the data going back to 2004. It's interesting to note that the cycle suddenly amplified in 2016, and has begun collapsing since 2020.
Is this the influence of collage teachings or something else? The terms 'socialism' and 'conservatism' don't appear to track this cycle.
happens ~once a year. I was thinking maybe it was just teenagers having their commie phase. it's usually the quirky kids who have one so it'd also explain why it happens in the summer/warmer weather as theyre more outgoing/bold.
the cycle breaking at the end might be representative of the pandemic fucking with teens mentals so not as many are having their quirky commie phase because not as many are quirky, but rather depressed.
im probably very wrong lel, i didnt put much thought into it

Direct correlation to communism interest and the Quizlet website, although waning right now, so we're reaching 2015 levels of communist interest and falling.
