Although not so much now, I used to enjoy watching films from the past as a way of traveling through time to watch people and culture from different eras. And of all the decades, America in the 1950s always struck me as a time of stability, decency, and optimism. It is also quite refreshing to watch feminine and classy women who were around just few generations ago.
Of course, the reality wasn’t as rosy as what is shown in the films. As with all other decades, America faced number of problems with the issue of race and the Cold War being notable examples. That said, I don’t think any era was ever “perfect” or great for everyone and I don’t think there ever will be such thing.
So, without getting too caught up in nostalgia, I think the 1950s stands as a prime example of how stability and prosperity, in combination with traditional family values, can facilitate a harmonious society. And the following pictures and graphs will show just how quickly things can change when the government and subversive social elements decide to alter the existing order by experimenting with ideas of ‘equality’ and using the citizens as objects for profit.
Family
A nuclear family is the most basic unit of a healthy society and the 1950s was the last time America as a whole witnessed stable family units.
Women back then were happy being wives and mothers unlike the hags today who are slaving away in cubicles.
You can criticize anything else about the 50s, but it is hard to argue against the quality of family life back then.
Marriage, however, has been experiencing a rapid decline since.
Why such decline you wonder? See below.
It’s inevitable for marriage to suffer and the sexes to become antagonized when women decide to abandon family life for careers. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but as they say, the rest is history.
Life
People in the 50s lived simple and happy lives where they enjoyed actual face-to-face interactions. There was no need for superficial online status comparisons. Other human beings were people to interact with and not just sources of validation to get “likes” from.
Crime And Safety
The 50s experienced an extremely low crime rate to a point where families didn’t feel the need to lock their doors or windows at night.
The recent drop in violence probably has more to do with the complete emasculation of men starting in the 90s than any improvements in society.
The rise of prison nation.
Parents felt safe enough to allow their children to play outside.
Rape rate was lowest when women were being ‘oppressed’ by the patriarchy, only to shoot up with the rise of feminism. Coincidence?
I’m sure feminists will just argue that all sex was rape back in the day.
Women
Women back then were thin, healthy, and feminine without the trashy tattoos and piercings you see today.
But of course, it was the 1950s that gave birth to the fast food culture with disastrous consequences for American health and beauty.
Maybe they need to do more chores around the house instead of sitting at a desk job.
And perhaps more importantly, women were happy being women because they didn’t have to constantly lie to themselves that they were happier with a career.
Today, many women rely on antidepressants just to function on a daily basis without breaking down. Is that really what feminists fought so hard to achieve?
The rise of antidepressants. American women today are miserable and mentally ill thanks to feminism forcing them to juggle work and family life. About 1 in 4 are currently on psychiatric drugs.
Health
Besides obesity and depression which I’ve already mentioned above, American health has been in steady decline since the end of 1950s.
If the trend continues, 1 out of every 3 Americans are expected suffer from diabetes by 2050.
National health expenditure, as a consequence, has been growing like a tumour.
What’s shocking is how fast children’s health have been declining in the past couple of decades.
These children didn’t needed to be ‘cured’ of ADHD.
I wonder if the sudden rise of learning disorders has anything to do with the fact that women are delaying marriage as much as possible for their careers?
This is only for Down syndrome, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true with many other developmental disorders.
Dating
Dating and forming relationships were simple back in the day without the need to play games.
Many men today fare poorly when it comes to dating because they interact with women as if it’s still the 1950s. It’s also ironic how many male feminists claim to respect women based on values that were formed back in patriarchal times. Sorry to burst your bubbles chumps, but your chivalry doesn’t work today.
Economy
United States during this time was at the peak of its economical dominance in the world, representing about a third of the entire world’s economy.
Then they decided that it would be great to flood the job market with women so that wages could stay low.
As you can see, male employment has been plummeting since the 50s. When you disenfranchise those who are the backbone of your society and take away any incentive for them to marry and raise a family, you can be sure that everything else will start to fall apart.
Welfare = Single Mothers = Children Without Fathers = Increased Crime and Social Decadence.
Interestingly, taxes on the rich were at its highest during this era.
Conclusion
America has been decaying rapidly since the 1950s with almost every aspect of society failing—and things are only about to get even worse. While this is a showcase of how good things can be lost so easily, it is also a demonstration of what can be possible under a patriarchal order with proper social values.
While things may seem impossible to change at the moment, remember that history has always been full of unanticipated events that quickly turned things around to transform the society at large. Think of how much China has recovered (and now thriving) since their devastating Communist past from just a few decades ago.
Anything is possible, you just need to be ready for it.

Great article thanks!
One thing you don’t see in those pictures of people gathered together indoors is a television. A graph showing the literacy rate from the 50s until now would be interesting.
Come on. You see a few selected nice photographs. How many photographs today have a television in it?
True, but the point is that people back then probably didn’t sit around on their butts hour, after hour, after hour staring at the TV.
Well, is that all that people do today?
TV was there but much smaller than it is today
Life in a french farm in the 50s.
Even without understanding the language, you can see how unhappy and oppressed by patriarchy and monoculturalism they all looked, especially at 4:00 during the family dinner.
Back then they were taught good manners LOL
Watch this documentary. Grab a glass of tea, coffee, or a soft drink. Pay attention to it. It will describe how human beings have been slowly transformed into “machines” or “happiness machines” programmed to generate corporate profit and governmental revenue over the last century, at the cost of everything else that makes life worth living. Then you’ll understand the “why” behind all of these graphs presented in this article.
It focuses on the ideas of Sigmund Freud and Edward Bernays (his nephew) who taught American corporations how to make people (mainly women) buy things they don’t need. That’s only the beginning. Adam Curtis has another documentary called The Power of Nightmares which will describe how the war on terror has been constructed out of whole cloth by Western powers to make people enslave themselves by raising constant security threats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s
The Power of Nightmares. This pair of documentaries is the “why” behind everything we are suffering, and it’s not a pretty picture. Watch all 3 parts. It’s worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl0hVH2y0Hg
Cannot be more highly recommended. Really any of Adam Curtis work is amazing, but this one really changed the way I think about and view the world.
Great article.
I love this site and I’m getting addicted to it.
The recent drop in violence probably has more to do with the complete
emasculation of men starting in the 90s than any improvements in
society.
The authors behind the Freakonomics books point to legalised abortion in the 1970s as the reason for the drop.
http://freakonomics.com/2005/05/15/abortion-and-crime-who-should-you-believe/
I look at these pictures and see grandma and grandpa, and I’m forced to smile. Everybody *knew* their role, and the importance of playing that role.
To paraphrase Yuri Bezmenov (former KGB member), it would take America at least one or two generations to return to a healthy situation. Only through a Nationalist movement, combined with Natalism and rejection of feminism, will we be able to head in the right direction.
The damaging consequences of feminism and massive unchecked immigration may finally be coming to a head, as reflected by Trump and Putin’s growing popularity here in the States, and the rising Nationalist movements in parts of Europe.
Don’t romanticize the past too much, especially regarding white Southerners in the old days. My father was born in Arkansas in 1927. Dad’s father picked up a common-law wife in Oklahoma when he separated from Dad’s mother in Arkansas. Grandma found out about the bigamy somehow, and she sued Grandpa for divorce (in 1930). Then Grandma handed Dad off to her parents so she could sleep around as a divorced single woman.
Yeah, I know it sounds disrespectful to call your grandmother a slut. But it fits the facts of what I know about Dad’s early life, and why he had such a poor relationship with his mother.
Yup, a lot of bad stuff was just swept under the rug. Spouse abuse was common, and considered nobody’s business. As a kid in the early-mid 60s, I recall that a couple that was living together was said to be “married common law.” And yes, there were pedophiles, too.
An anecdote is not a statistic.
Trust no statistic you have not falsified yourself.
The photographs in the ROK post show confirmation bias. You can find photos of all kinds of downtrodden, unhealthy and often criminal whites from the same era.
Would love to see some of those. Do share.
Some did exist, without question. A lot of what we’ll see on this thread will be “Evil has always existed” which is then extrapolated into “at the same level as today” which is bunkum.
Ya, but the author presented statistics to temper the confirmation bias…you saw the stats and graphs right dummy??
But even the criminals from that time look better than the typical millennial today. From Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison concert. Collared shirts. Wristwatches. No need for concertina wire or tasers to stop the inmates from attacking Cash:
http://static01.nyt.com/images/2013/09/24/booming/24match-booming-folsom-prison/24match-booming-folsom-prison-videoSixteenByNine600.jpg
That is good to know. Back then, there was no social media to tell about this stuff.
It’s not that this stuff never happened, clearly bad/evil has been present in every age. The difference between then and now is that we no longer have the societal checks in place from birth forward to instill notions of common virtue. You could find a pedophile in 1952, but you’d have to dig deep and go through a lot of closets. Today he’s open about it and writes op ed pieces for Salon telling you what a victim he is.
When you have a culture that rightly condemns, ostracizes, mocks and punishes evil, you’ll have a lot less evil on your hands.
Bullshit. The more you keep evil under the rug, the more it metastacizes.
Now, I am not saying that one should condone childfucking, but those who feel the urge to fuck children likely suffered child abuse themselves and need help. Do you rather want them to brood in some basement and occasionally kidnap a kid or write articles that help him lose his shame about it and thus become able to deal with it in a healthy way and possibly even resolving that issue for himself?
Doesn’t matter why they do it. They need to be removed from society. Much like a rabid dog, you might choose to feel bad about it, but those people still need to be put down.
No, not bullshit, fact. When everybody condemns and shuns you for being evil, you think twice about being evil. When everybody “celebrates” you being evil, you will get a lot more evil on your hands.
I can’t count on two fingers the number of really bad old people I knew as a child. I can’t count on a computer with unlimited memory how many deranged and sick people I’ve met since 1995.
Firstly, the concept of evil is illogical.
Secondly, maybe there was less apparent ‘badness’ existent. But do you see into people’s souls?
Evil is an underdeveloped amygdala. It’s a very straightforward physical biological thing, once you understand how it works.
By whom? By the perfect ‘good’ ones? Give me a break. He who blah blah throweth the first stone.
Besides, there is still the problem of Karma, if you believe in multiple lives. Kill someone with problems and the problems simply come back.
The concept of evil is perfectly sound and just.
If people are not misbehaving in public and if private crime is low, then on the whole society is a better place. If you think people were somehow turning a blind eye to bad people at the time, you’re wrong. They were way more vigilant against actual bad people and had no tolerance for any such nonsense as we put up with today.
You understand how the amygdala works? That is quite amazing. You may teach those neuroscientists something.
Try again without the superstition.
Exactly my point. If people are more vigilant, stuff gets suppressed more. So how do you even know that all was as good as you think it was? Today, people talk about their problems. Back then, you just had to swallow it. And whatever happened behind closed doors, likely stayed there.
Yes. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Evolutionary-Psychology-Behind-Politics/dp/0982947933
Guy has a site with some free info too, http://www.anonymousconservative.com/
Try again without the arrogance. You can still reply to my first paragraph.
We can have a discussion, or you can throw books at me. Not both.
The problem is that it is nigh impossible to tell whether the over- or underactive amygdala is the source or merely the symptom.
For example, PTSD can make you tense, anxious and irrational. I bet that this manifests in brain patterns as well. And yet, the person is essentially still the same and can even heal.
Pardon, throw books at you? What does that mean?
It’s very obvious once you get used to looking for it. Just takes a bit of time and practice. People on opposite ends of the K and r spectrum instinctively recognize eachother – and can’t fucking stand being in the same room.
If it’s suppressed to the point that very little bad is happening, then who gives a fuck whether they were doing it out of pretense or not? If you were caught fucking a child in 1952 you would have way more than the police to worry about, in fact you’d better pray that he got there first before the mob of people showed up outside your door with shears to cut off your balls.
The internet has allowed people with really screwed up obsessions to find each other more easily, when they wouldn’t have known of each other’s existence before, hence all the file sharing pedophiles engage in.
For a more timely example, just look at all the Star Wars obsessives and how much of the internet they have taken over so that they can talk about this stupid fantasy world. What a complete waste of time.
Well, let the Star Wars guys have it. Besides, nobody can ‘take over’ the internet. You do not have to visit the sites where this stuff is posted.
That’s a very valid point. Without confirmation from others that you’re “not alone”, people tend to let stupidity fester in the back recesses of their minds. I for one have no problem with “suppression” as others seem to have, I think that if society forces you to “suppress” being bad, then that’s a fucking great thing. Back in the day we used to call this “self control” and “self discipline”.
The point is, how do you know how much is happening when nobody talks about it?
Yeah, I get that. And that is nothing you have to be unafraid of today.
But fucking a child is different than writing about fucking a child. Writing is a way better coping mechanism.
And then what about those priests that fucked the little kids? Think that would not have worked back then? Who will ever know…
Great stuff. And then you go around saying that inner happiness is not possible. Because suppression works so great for you.
For weeks now almost every news site I’ve visited has had Star Wars stories on them somewhere. This wouldn’t happen in a rational world.
Even ROK has had to acknowledge Star Wars. William Shatner’s famous skit on SNL back in the 1980’s, where he tells Star Trek fans to “get a life,” seems more timely now than it did nearly 30 years ago.
Where did I say that inner happiness is not possible?
I recently told you that it was my goal and you said something like ‘I learned in my life that what you want is not relevant’.
You read news?
You do realize that you’re “we’ll never know” position doesn’t really make the case that you’re wanting it to make either. Conceivably, under that condition, a good and decent society can in fact happen because “we’ll never know” and such. Given as I got to experience the tail end of that pre-Boomer generation and see their families all intact, happy and basically healthy first hand, I’m going to go with experience and say, lacking evidence to the contrary, they likely had it better then than we have now.
That was regarding desire versus action. I can want to be the most virtuous person on the planet, it doesn’t mean jack shit if I don’t do anything about it. What I want is not relevant if it’s the only metric I’m using to gauge success.
Guess this is all the reason why humanity tends to forget, right? The ones who experienced it are convinced, but they can not convince those who have not. But if I choose to put myself in your shoes and believe that, I can at least understand your perspective.
Ah, I remember now. It was about free will. My point was that free will does not work in severe cases like trauma.
Nobody argues that real mental illness negates some aspects of free will. Which is tangential to wholly irrelevant to this current discussion, fwiw.
Fair post, agreed.
Well, this discussion is at an impasse, as I claimed you to have said something you apparently did not say.
So you are saying that you have inner happiness and peace at almost all times?
I’m a human like anybody else, so I experience the normal range of emotions. Am I happy and at peace in a general sense? Yeah, actually, I am if we’re talking at the meta-level. Examining my life now, compared to human life throughout history, and I have it so fucking easy it’s unbelievable. It’s hard not to be content when you have food on the table with regularity, a roof over your head, hot water to shower in, happy well adjusted kids and a whole lot of spare free time and excess wealth. Shit, home fries, the highest kings of Europe from way back in the day would have killed for this kind of lifestyle.
Have I made mistakes that I regret, done things I shouldn’t have, hurt people who probably didn’t deserve it, etc. throughout my life? Yes. But I came to terms with it and let it go, and made amends where I could.
There’s really no reason to not be content and happy on a personal level, so I go with it. It doesn’t suck.
Another point just came to me.
Apart from the obvious – fatties and the likes – is life today really so much more depraved and horrible in terms of ‘evil’? I mean, sure, today you have writings by pedophiles. But how many are they? It was one article. One person. How many pedophiles get caught today? Is it so many or is it simply that we are bombarded with those news whenever it happens? How many actual cases of that stuff do you remember reading? 10? 20? In what timespan?
Interesting. The letting go part sounds great. But your first paragraph is written as a comparative. Are you satisfied compared to what you think you could have had? Or actually satisfied?
Pedophiles are a non-issue comparatively. What is far more important is that both the government and the general western culture hates masculine men. This will, as it has countless times before in history, lead to the end of our culture. And with modern mass immigration, possibly even our race.
That’s just one example, obviously.
And yes, on the whole life is a whole lot more depraved and degenerate today than the 1950’s, at least from an openness perspective.
A society of fat single mothers running things electorally, denigrating and beating up on men not just in the culture but legally, drugging boys in school for acting like boys, etc. just wasn’t possible back then.
You know what, I am a pretty fucked up motherfucker.
But I am getting better and you know what I notice? I notice that all the badness I saw in the world was just a projection of my inner world.
I was in the city today. Looked at the people. Most of them look perfectly fine.
Not in any way uniform or hyper masculine or anything, but fine.
What I love is he gave birth, via the question “How many of you still live in your parents basement?” to the basement/nerdboy meme.
Evil exists if you believe there is a higher morality the guides us…a morality that dictates ‘good’ and ‘evil’ in a cosmic sense (not necessarily religion or Christianity, just morality) ; if you do NOT accept a higher morality, then there is neither good nor evil, all things simply are and actions have no consequences other than measurable, observable, physical effect on the surrounding environment.
I think you may have inadvertently touched on another point,
that being around the time filesharing became a “thing” it wasn’t ten years before
we had full blown social media hivemind think shoved down our throats. The
democratization of communication via the internet has done us ABSOLUTELY no
good whatsoever.
I got one word for you. Slutwalk.
There’s no escaping comparing and contrasting with other human beings. It helps to do this actually, to put things into perspective. Expecting a zen state of contentedness to just happen for no real reason doesn’t really jibe, and is a large part of why, I believe, so many are so discontent in life. They have zero insight on how things used to be, so they think that what they have now “it sucks, man!” and are so agitated all the time. They lack any sense of historical context or perspective.
I mean listen to Western feminists. The most power, coddling, material possessions and ability to do whatever they want in history, and they’re all angrier than hornets about *absolutely nothing at all*. They lack any historical perspective on why they should perhaps feel a bit good about life, to them life as it is now is as life has always been, which to them is “it sucks!”. That’s a very tunnel visioned way of looking at things, if you ask me.
Spiritually I don’t go by other human beings, that is not a good path, but when looking at the material world, it’s not really a bad thing. My grandfather living in a shack in Scotland, with a warm hearth, a nice family and food every day can be (materially) content, because his life is clearly better than his ancestors who roamed the glens and mountains of Scotland foraging for even scraps of food,. shivering in the cold, wind and rain and basically having a hard time in life getting by. Spiritually though, maybe those ancestors had some strength that he doesn’t, so he can grow there, or maybe there is nothing to compare to of value, who knows?
Really it’s a combo of many factors.
A cold and miserable way to live, in the long run, to be certain. Also a direct path to death camps and socialism.
Speaking or reading Tom Arrow posts is parallel to atrophy of the brain, I can never figure out what he is trying to say or come off as.
What are you on now? peyote or magic mushrooms?
What is the solution to a shitty overall attitude? I really would like your input.
You are correct, someone mentioned Gooner or Gooning on Tumblr and like a fool I googled it and confirmed it’s about time to have a good plague.
LOL. I hear ya.
i agree, most people are fine…
I think Kratom
…and I agree with you fully. I ~DO~ feel there is a higher morality, and a necessity for good to triumph over evil.
Well,what percentage ofbthe population is that?
My point was to not let one’s happiness be dictated by external factors too much.
None, but thanks for asking.
“Besides, there is still the problem of Karma, if you believe in multiple lives. Kill someone with problems and the problems simply come back.”
The “problem” of karma is your problem then. The enemies of my people just die and (mostly) spend eternity in Hell.
You and your Hindu/Yoga slave religion again that has taught you (along with the German multi-cult culture) be afraid of real religion (freedom in Christ) as “slave religion.”
What percent attends, or what percent of womyns condones that type of fucknuttery?
It’s not about active participation so much as it’s about making it a part of what is considered acceptable behavior / discourse. Same thing with that Pedo Salon article.
Yes, you can bebleat that.
You suppose that ‘accepting’ it will somehow make it spread like a virus and drive everybody mad. I do not see that happening.
Then you should get your vision checked.
Alright, we disagree. How can we decide who of us is more right?
You say you don’t see how the slut culture is spreading? I mean, really? lol
I have yet to come across obvious sluts here in Munich in everyday life.
I’ve never been to germany, so i can’t speak to the accuracy of that statement, but here in the US, it’s rampant
What do you mean by rampant? Please describe your everyday observations.
Exactly. Now if you trash a pedophile you will be labeled a pedo-shamer and we just can’t have that. Don’t you know that we need safe spaces for child rapists?
Yes, agree. Society keeps these things in check. It’s not as if they’ve never existed we just didn’t let the disease spread or praise it.
Today, we have a man (Jenner) switching over to a “woman” and it’s praised in our society. That’s when you know your society is headed down the wrong path. Back when, this person would have been locked up in the nut house (because that person obviously has mental problems) but today that same person is praised.
People on welfare,now, openly take it and even talk about how they get over on the system. They have no shame in not working and taking taxpayer money (to not work or find a job). You just didn’t have these actions (or very few of them) back when because society kept it in check (plus people had a little more character). It’s a real shame.
Ummmm, really…
They first sex change operation was preform in the 50’s and transsexualism was widely thought to be hormonal disorder that effected psychology and socialization.
SRS and HRT where considered to be the only effective therapies (and still are) after reversion psycho therapy and hospitalization proved ineffective.
It’s wasn’t until Ray Blanchard showed up that only trans women (he completely ignored trans men) where given a pathological mental illness known as either Homosexual Transsexualism or Auotgynophilia, both of which are utter bullshit.
Societal checks work for the laymen, but Elites through all times did crimes and immoral things by their times standard secretly with impunity.
People were sacrificing humans back then and people are still doing it even in America on some accounts. Read Ted Gunderson, former fbi special agent talk on demonic rituals.
We’re giving everything a pass today based on feelings. It’s why our society is getting worse (not better). People who would have been considered crazy in the past are now given more attention, more air time (they are a danger to society) because they are seen as “pioneers” instead of having a mental problem.
An example is: A 52 year old man abandons his family to become a 6 year old girl is crazy…not brave or a pioneer
http://culturecampaign.blogspot.com/2015/12/man-52-newly-adopted-becomes-6-year-old.html
People see these certain types (Bruce Jenner for one) as brave or pioneers. They, also, have bought into the notion that Islam is a peaceful religion while ignoring the facts that much of it is linked to violence. The sad part is these same people think that an average, white, Christian man is the crazy one for believing in his own religion, his own Constitution or for loving his country.
Like the shame of being pregnant and unmarried.
Traveling (contiki) through Europe, any advice before I get to Germany?
Definitely doesn’t suck on my end, just backpacking and looking for an easygoing girl. Any suggestions?
Can you explain to me exactly why transgender people are a danger to society, because I believe the exact opposite.
We can argue about weather biological and sociological factors or pure choice lead to be being trans but that is neither here nor there.
Wouldn’t allowing every individual person, male or female or intersex (completely ignoring their gender) the freedom to express themselves and change their body as the see fit be a boon to individual freedom?
Why should ones morphology be limited to contextual social norms or biology for that mater?
“We’re giving everything a pass today based on feelings. It’s why our society is getting worse (not better)”
I also beg to differ. You may be implying a Golden Age Fallacy here.
Better and worse are to a degree contextual.
We have abundance and standards of living in developed first world countries, for even the poorest citizens, which were not available just 50 years ago.
It seems that you think things are worse simply because they are interfering with your personal happiness, to which I offer the average callous internet retort: Grow and pair and stop being so sensitive.
People like you are funny (and usually are hypocrites). You’ll find out in a few years (or a decade) when you’re thought process changes (and it will change).
An example: It will change when people will want to start marrying animals because they love them and believe they should have the same rights as people. You’ll look back at the transgender thing thinking it was just fine or acceptable (golden age) and you’ll wonder how people accept this “crazy” notion of people marrying animals.
This is a bit of misconception. You can shame a pedophile all you want, especially those that act on their impulses.
However, as the APA recognizes, there are people with pedophalic desires that are repulsed by them and do not wish to act on them.
These are sick people that need therapy and medicine.
The act of engaging in sex with children and indulging pedophalic impulses (it needs to be noted that pedophilia is solely the attraction to prepubescent children) is a Sex Crime and wrong for various social as well as moral reasons. Simply being a pedophile is not a crime. It’s arguably wrong and should be shamed but not to the degree of those that actually rape children.
Just saying.
Huh? Sweeping “evil” under the rug doesn’t do anything but give it a place to hid and make those that are capable of immoral or nihilistic acts more carful.
“I can’t count on two fingers the number of really bad old people I knew as a child. I can’t count on a computer with unlimited memory how many deranged and sick people I’ve met since 1995.”
What exactly do you consider deranged and sick? I doubt it is at all objective.
“You’ll find out in a few years (or a decade) when you’re thought process changes (and it will change).”
LMAO, no it won’t (I’m Trans) and people like you will have to deal with that.
“An example: It will change when people will want to start marrying animals because they love them and believe they should have the same rights as people. You’ll look back at the transgender thing thinking it was just fine or acceptable (golden age) and you’ll wonder how people accept this “crazy” notion of people marrying animals.”
That is the epitome of a slippery slope fallacy. It’s will be hard to take any argument you have after this seriously.
Again, you’re entitled to your opinion but we’ll just have to disagree here.
I suppose so.
I do not have any real world game experience, so I do not know. But aside from women, I recomment visiting the alps.
There have always been thieves since the beginning of time, the difference is that society always kept them in check back in the day
People generally look fine. Looks can be deceiving and humans generally apeare as the want to be precieved. You have to really know a person to know if they are doing “fine”.
Would say those that demise the culture are less right in their views. Culture defines us, on a deep level. Right or wrong it does. Denigrating the culture for one’s selfish desires is immoral.
Truly that was typed with profound wisdom. To have reconciled ones place in life and make the most of one’s life is the true notion of knowing one’s self.
Maybe. But I would say that nobody is a perfect faker. Maybe those narcissists can convince other narcissists, but not a normal confident person.
Naturally it is immoral, because moral is the method by which our leaders control their sheep.
couldnt work too well. still needed cops, courts. and prisons.
Kratom?
What you say about suppression is really true. When Immanuel Kant spoke about true human freedom it was always as the freedom to follow laws. He gets a little teasing because it is so stereotypical Prussian but when you think of it…to create a law and to follow in despite it being contrary to your first instinct is exactly what separates men from animals.
When I have to pee I hold it until I get to a proper place. I eat particular food on a schedule and not just graze when I am hungry. I deny myself things to create future opportunities. I don’t sleep with just any woman who will open her legs.
My grandfather considered not wearing a necktie to be “casual dress” He wasn’t addicted to neck ties. There was just a time when people showed a certain respect for other people and for themselves in the way they dressed….they conformed to rules contrary to the animal side of our human nature and thereby participated more fully in the angelic side.
You are very much correct. At some point “girls night out” went from Tupperware parties to, well, someone pouring champagne into their vaginas while they listen to electronic music….and stewardesses went from being attractive young women to fags and fatties.
It is quite simple: masculinity has been shamed to the brink of extinction and that masculinity was the only thing keeping the world from chaos and destruction.

okay what in the unholy hell did I just see?
fuck the world. we’re done. God kill us now. just bring on doomsday. i embrace death.
Waste of time?
I think Klingons, and Farenge shouldn’t try to mate. I mean supposing the Farenge could even survive the Klingon mating ritual that would most likely kill them. Even f they were able to conceive, and produce an offspring it would probably be sterile. Like crossing a Horse with a Mule. You get a Donkey.
What do you think?
The south has always been a shithole, nobody was thinking back fondly about it. No need to go east of the Rockies in the ‘ol USA.
LOL.
Please don’t.
I wouldn’t want to be called a Yankee by some dumbass Southerner or experience Ferguson-like populations. The West is the Best. The West is the Best.
Western women have always been pampered sluts. They are notorious for getting men to kill each other. They will play a man like a fiddle. They can’t resist the temptation to flirt with another guy, and drop the one they’re with like a hot potato. They love to see two guys trying to beat each other to death over them.
I think the problem now is people always have to “Yeah, but..” everything someone says. And I am not trying to troll you either. I know what the article was trying to say and agree with it.
You will always find examples to the contrary. “Men are stronger than women”… “Yeah, but I know this one woman who beat up a man so you are totally wrong”…
So what do we do? Use too many words and say “In general if you look at every man and every woman throughout history a larger percentage of men are stronger than women, but there may be some women that are stronger than some men”
or just say typically, or the average….
Very good point
There have always been sluts. And there will always be.sluts.
And, if you read the Scots-Irish chapter of Albion’s Seed, you’ll find ample evidence that looser sexual mores have always existed among the white trash of the South, like Arkansas.
“Rates of prenuptial pregnancy were very high tin the back-country – higher than other parts of the American colonies. In the year 1767, Charles Woodmason (Anglican missionary) calculated that 94% of back-country brides whom he had married in the past year were pregnant on their wedding day, and some were “very big” with child. He attributed this tendency to social customs in the back settlements.” (Page 681)
But it’s also important to remember, that the 1950s was merely the last gasp of a dying society. It wasn’t a golden era. It was the calm before the final storm.
In fact, marriage had been in dire straits since the mid to late-19th century marriage and woman’s rights reforms. And periodically got worse in the century that followed. The problem didn’t begin in the 60s.
agreed, we should seek to create a future that’s superior to the status quo, not yearning for the 1950’s, which still had too many problematic forms of equality
You would need a homogeneous society to do that, without homogeneity forget it
why is that ?
you would need similar ideals. my ideals as an atheist are different then a roman catholics, as well as theirs to moderate muslims. but when you are all starting from zero its much easier since everyone starts on the same page
I agree. With no other bond other than being citizens of the country, no shared culture, history and genetics a nationalist movement is impossible. The Brits don’t even know why they sneer at the French anymore…they just do and always will. Follow a western European timeline back far enough and all, say, French or Spaniards had ancestors who were fighting on the same side of the same war.
They are getting away from it now, but a national movement is at least possible in western Europe. US nationalism will never happen.
Human behavior has always been what it is, but when it wasn’t subsidized it didn’t happen as frequently.
Back in the day if it was subsidized, it was the family that did it. Today the state does it with the wealth we produce.
can you explain more the situation in back in the day a lil more thoroughly ?
Today wall street mitigates the downside of risky behavior with government bailouts. Bailouts funded by the people government takes from. There have been many programs and legal precedents put into place over the years that allow people to do this on an individual basis as well. Socialize the downside of risk and we find more people taking risks and those who took risks before take greater risks.
Wha you described is still far healthier than what we see today.
Th slut of today does far worse and as an added bonus she inflicts all of that on the kid she refuses to give to her parents.
Whats more, in todays terms the woman you described would be considered the norm. That is, what was slutty behavior in the 1930’s is what a “good girl” does today.
Anecdotal, the statistics are very clear on what has changed!
sure but he doesnt show a graph on how wages have stagnated since the 50s while the cost of living has increased either
My memory of those times was just like this article.
So, your Grandpa is a bigamist and you don’t say shit or pass judgement, but your Grandma gets divorced and starts enjoying sex with other people and you label her “a slut”. That mentality is what caused women to break out of the systematic roles that were being forced on them thru the media. If there was no double standard being perpetuated by ignorant people like you, then woman wouldn’t feel like they had to go to extremes just to be seen as equals.
I don’t see you calling your grandpa ugly names even though he was first in sleeping around.
Oh wait… he was a guy! Such names don’t exist! It’s OK for guys to sleep around!
Guess sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander.
Nationalism is a knee jerk reaction to the situation THEY have created in the first place. They purposely foment nationalism because they plan for war, the only real question is when and with or between whom.
Russia-OTAN this is the fastest way to kill all white men. But how many of us they will fool to fight in the “””””right side of the history”””””?? Not me, I belong to the dark side.
Direct war with Russia could destroy the Earth let alone the white man. I foresee further proxy wars first unless they have already agreed with Moscow to destroy certain targets in a controlled nuclear release. Thing is though once the nukes start flying its conceivable something goes wrong or other nations get into the fray.
First, we would have to De-Jew the country. No nation can be healthy until they vomit the parasites causing the disease.
“the issue of race” was a positive thing. In-group loyalty and out-group hostility is part of a healthy, enduring culture. The alternative, what we have now, pathological altruism, is one of the major reasons we face all the modern day problems.
white people are literally giving away everything to dysfunctional minorities. I see Christian churches ‘assisting’ muslim ‘refugees’ to relocate in their own fucking neighborhood. these people are dumb as fuck. their supposed Christian call to ‘help everyone’ is going to be the destruction of the white race.
Before desegregation and integration, the “respectable negroes” had to live with their abysmally stupid neighbors, and they helped to keep the lumpen-blacks under some control by setting a better example and shaming the unruly ones. Black behavior has deteriorated because civil rights legislation allowed the more functional blacks to move away from all the black fuckups. We can see now what happens when you concentrate all the low-quality blacks in major cities.
Or as the liberals say, “lack of male black role models” (and gangbangers and babydaddies don’t count).
That’s just the effect of the welfare state + Gun control + War on drugs.
I live in the Inner city btw
any out of proof of what you say ? or just talking out of your ass ?
“Although not so much now, I used to enjoy watching films from the past as a way of traveling through time to watch people and culture from different eras”.
That’s why I love watching pre-1960s movies. It just feels surreal how nice the people were.
Some of these stats need an asterisk. Abortion probably (see “Freakonomics”) accounts for much of the drop in crime. The demographics of abortion tell the story about that, and stiffer sentences/three strikes laws put a lot of chronic bad actors away for a long time. As for rape, you know the old saying, rape is the most underreported and overreported crime. A woman who claimed she was raped back in the 1950s-60s was often treated like a whore by the police and judicial system. Thus, victims were reluctant to report rapes. It wasn’t until rape shield laws became prevalent in the 1970s that more rapes were reported. As for ailments like diabetes, sure, obesity is a factor, but so is longer life. And the “flood” of women into the workforce post-1970 wasn’t a plot to lower wages, it was because, despite a rising cost of living, wages had begun to stagnate to the point that households needed TWO breadwinners; dad at work and mom at home just wasn’t cutting it.
Your proof that no games were played is evidenced by a handful of staged black and white photographs? Ridiculous.
He presented graphs and stats as well dummy….
Not about dating, no, he did not.

As far a women goes, not all the women from that era were skinny, but it can be said that that was the last time American girls were truly curvaceous with a generous helping of baby fat in the right places. Today, either there not curvy, but ripply, or they’re thin, but over worked out to the point that they got too much muscle.
Another point that commenter Vlaskiach pointed out is television back then. At least it can be argued that families did gather around the telly like they did around the radio. To be fair, they didn’t have cable, so the kids were utterly screwed in what they could watch, but still. Compare that to today, where family quality time is either gone or altered to where I’ve seen families at restaurants doing nothing but stare at their phones. Even my elderly mother, who isn’t the stereotype of the clingy grandma, becomes puzzled at this. And now, WIFI on cars! Now you don’t have to interact with your kids! Fuck that! That’s what Spongebob and Xvideos is there for!
https://youtu.be/hV__30BVW8U
Blogger Wald from Scartissue described that his family used to watch movies and even occasionally halt a movie in the middle and discuss what they thought would happen next and what had happened so far. What a fucking great idea.
While I have no doubt that things were different back then, I wouldn’t judge the 50s by a bunch of staged photos. Do you know the basic story of Pride and Prejudice? Or Breakfast at Tiffanie’s? There have always been bad woman.
But today, everybody can write a blog about it. Back then, it was a handful of known authors. You could argue that people thought that the women in the books were something extraordinary.
The ratio of bad to good was much lower. Society shamed and punished girls acting badly, even getting a divorce carried a huge stigma for a woman and usually got her the Outcast status pretty quickly. Today it’s celebrated.
2 words. The. Pill. Once women could have sex without worrying unduly about pregnancy–as men could–the “sexual revolution” genie was out of the bottle. Had the birth control pill been invented in 1950 instead of 1960, the 50’s would have been quite a bit different (albeit without the flower power motif).
But were those girls who did it merely out of fear really worthy and healthy?
It is quite a common cliche that women are slim when they are young and grow fat after marriage. It indicates to me that there were psychological issues anyway – only that today, you can weed out beforehand. Back then, you were fooled into believing she was healthy by her appearance.
Who cares if they did it out of fear or not? If they refrained from acting badly out of fear, then good, it means that society’s checks were working correctly.
Do you look like a Spartan? Does anyone here? How many western men do?
Humans follow incentives. Sexual habits are no exception.
Like I said below. Once the birth control pill removed fear, it was Katie bar the door.
You can keep your non-existent good women and the hard life men have to live in order to have that pretense. I will take the easier life that is modernity, and simply fuck all the bad women at my leisure
Yeah, I remember puberty…
Quite correct.
My point is: Do you want to marry a girl who behaves superficially correct, but turns out to have a horrible character and grows fat afterwards? Did not think so.
The Spartans were a special group in history with no real comparables today. Incentives can be self-directed though of course.
Girls generally didn’t grow fat, at that period in time, until way, way late in the game (say, 55-60, grandmother years). If you’d walked around any neighborhood in the 1970’s, where all the folks who married in the 1950’s still lived at the time, you wouldn’t have found one fatty out of one hundred. The fat only hit once the kids were out of the house, and even then nowhere near as often as it does today. All of my grandmothers died thin, all of the women their age that I knew growing up, died thin.
Well, is that simply the observation about your town or does it apply generally? I saw pictures of my grandgrandmother. She was a fat bitch. So was my mother. So was my grandmother.
Just general observations, and not just my town. I said “1 in 100” not “0.0%”.
It was obviously in their genetics.
Most old women in the rural area in Czech my parents are from were fat old hags. So that is my frame of reference.
I think they were damaged psychologically.
Actually I think Bob has it right. The few fat girls I knew growing up had fat moms (and dads). At a time before widespread HFCS and sedentary lifestyles that rather points to genetics OR really, really piss poor self management transmitted through family habits. Likely both.
But it was not just my family. It was literally every next old female acquaintance there I can think of.
Oh, just realized you posted a picture with that comment. Nice one.
What a good Beta White Knight. He knows his place….holding a fork. /s
Either that or he doesn’t want to pay through the nose in a divorce… “that’s it baby, eat up… there’s a good girl…”
…. says a thousand words…
Closer to a thousand pounds.
Spartans are a barbaric race bent on enslaving others. But they are strong though.
Czech chicks are often hot man. These days even in 30s.
This. Let’s not forget that many women from this time left their husbands and families for the “Free Love” movement during the 60’s. Additionally, many of the little girls here would go on to behind the bra burning feminists of the 70’s.
Many? Hardly any actually. The real divorce phase didn’t hit until the Boomers and the mid to late 1970’s.
No fault divorce was in retrospect a mistake. But I wonder if it hadn’t been instituted, if we would have wound up like South America, where young people aren’t getting married because marriage is too hard to get out of in those Catholic countries, so they’re shacking up and making babies out of wedlock instead (single mom epidemic in Argentina for example). Edit: Oh wait, that’s already happening.
Hard to say. This is one thing that conservatives need to own up to, it was Ronald Regan that made no-fault a reality first, when he was governor of California.
Women’s suffrage, the Pill, no fault divorce, second and third wave feminism. Lots of social forces colliding in such a short period of time, it’s a wonder society didn’t explode within a few decades. It’s rather interesting that it’s taken this long and still we have a fair number of nuclear families.
Yup, all that and WW2 shoving tons of women into the work force. Sure most of them came home after the War, but it wasn’t forgotten.
What time and country are you living in? Divorce is easy in South America. The real reason for your single mom epidemic is the collapse of morals since the 80s, albeit slower than in north America and Europe. Source: I live in the region.
http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/12/14/459098779/all-across-latin-america-unwed-mothers-are-now-the-norm
“Until 2012 in Argentina, you needed to wait a lengthy period for a divorce and give cause, and there were stiff financial penalties for breaking up. Instead of keeping people together, it made a younger generation not want to get married at all.”
It takes a lot of conditioning to go against biology…
That’s why I asked the question. First, in Argentina like many countries in the region laws are not strictly enforced. Second, doesn’t matter if divorce is easy or hard if people are not willing to have a real commitment, then nothing will work. Hard divorces will only slow down the tide but it´s inevitable.
BTW if divorce is so hard in Argentina, please explain this (link in spanish) “1 divorce for every 2 marriages”.
http://tiempo.infonews.com/nota/133881/en-los-registros-civiles-portenos-ya-hay-un-divorcio-cada-dos-matrimonios
Whether you like it or not the cause is not only the existence of express divorce laws but the Collapse of Catholic morals, the result of the Catholicism collapse in that country (and in the rest of Latam).
I really don’t think it’s working out in a greater sense. Yes, they have power now but this all seems to be so self destructive. I mean how many women in general are on anti-depressants? Ultimately this is leading to extinction of our peoples, so in the end, biology still triumphs.
That’s certainly an uplifting thought. heh.
Soviet Russia had no fault divorce for the first few decades of its existence- Stalin realized it was destroying society.
Why was it allowed stateside? I sure do wonder…
You saw the graphs and stats too right???
Stats can be gamed. Understand I am not saying the author is wrong, just suggesting we maintain some healthy skepticism.
Ah, Breakfast at Tiffany’s!
So many girls loved that flick when I was in college. I laughed it off, ya know?
You get older, and you realize what an unstable whore the Hepburn character was(and this was what, 1961?)
The book was written in 1958 by Truman Capote. So clearly there was a message he was trying to send that was diluted by the movie. You are quite right about this girl. Girls loved that flick because in their hearts they want that kind of freedom absent a man to keep them in line.
Like children who strain at the leash their parents put on them.
One thing you nostalgic types never answer is, if it was so wonderful for women back then, why did the women change it?
The answer which you know but try to ignore is quite simple and straightorward. The women were just biding their time until things got easy enough for them to be who they really are.
The only way to maintain your idealic past, is to also maintain a certain level of brutality that hurts men more than anyone else. Thats what the Muslims do.
They didn’t. Men did. Males, rather. There were a lot of women who were against women’s suffrage.
Yeah, its always men fault. Where have i heard that before?
This is the truth of the matter. An inconvenient one, but you can’t close your eyes to reality and still make good life decisions.
I think you are the one with closed eyes to female nature and agency.
Women have no agency.
HA! Ok, time for me to go sit back at the grown-up table.
You realize we all see through you right?
Women didn’t change it, men did.
SIGH! Feminism is more insidious than i thought.
Actually, it is. A powerless group cannot obtain political power without the effort and consent of those in power, if we’re not talking violent revolution. Since there was no violent revolution, then logic dictates that men gave up power voluntarily, at least in the legal sense, soon followed by the cultural sense. It didn’t have to be this way.
There is always coersion.
The interesting question is: Why did men do that? There obviously were forces in society waiting to crystallize into that which we see today.
True, but nobody *must* bend to coercion. And it’s doubtful that all of the all male institutions at the time all experienced coersion. Many, I hold, were basically first generation White Knights who had no clue what their actions would cause to happen a century later. They were simple dopes with “big hearts” who had almost no ability to foresee the future.
Likely men in those days didn’t know just how bad unchecked women can be.
That’s what I believe as well.
Advancedatheist gives a good answer to that question (a few posts above).
Yeah, if we are talking politics and marriage law and that. But the more obvious problem is that men simply lost their balls. Why was that? Women can not take away a man’s balls just like that. Takes some serious indoctrination.
On a side note, I today was the witness of ‘you are a sexist’ bullying by two bitches in a philosophical discussion group on Facebook. Directed against me. I told them ‘Yes, I am. What can you do? You can do nothing.’ The admin of the group likes my contributions, so I can stay. Victory!
They didnt have to bend to coersion, but they did. And that women applied said coersion means that women wanted change. Thus, they werent happy in your paradise. They just pretended to be until they could create the world they really wanted.
If things magically reverted, women would simply influence a change back. Unless you keep society brutal and a boot to their neck.
As long as coercion has limits and does not include serious torture, I guess not.
What created those white knights? Possibly a lack of fathers after WW2?
Heh, yeah, sure.
Men gave up the power. There was no “mass coersion”, men instead adopted a foolish ideology because it sounded “fair and just” to them. They had no predictive power of what this would cause or they would not have done so I believe.
Reading Voltaire, one of the founding philosophers that came to be relied upon for the feminist movement, one is struck by an extreme naivete and self absorbed hubris. It was infectious, and men in power adopted it, and badda bing, here we are.
I believe it was a lack of fathers from WW1 actually, at least in Europe. America I have no such excuse, we didn’t lose nearly the number that Europe did. That being said, what happened in European intellectual circles always found their way here through the “elite” and eventually became institutionalized.
And women asked for it, and pushed for it.
And were powerless to make it happen without men permitting it.
Part of red pill is accepting truths, even truths you may not like or prefer. Men are not innocent little victims, at least not men in the time we’re talking about. If we absolve them of the blame for institutionalizing this via law as they did, then we’ll never learn from their mistakes such that it doesn’t happen again in the future.
Makes me wonder. If all it takes to ruin a country is a few nutcases to come over and talk a bit, how stable was that country in the first place?
I mean, you obviously did not fold to that stuff, so why did others?
I think a few nut cases can’t do it, but a few nut cases in well heeled and highly connected and powerful circles can, quite easily. The Yale/Harvard types in the States wield far more power than they should, and they have for a long, long time now.
I am by no means absolving men of abdicating their responsibility as leaders. My point is simple that women werent happy in your 50s paradise and sought to change it. They succeeded.
Words are bitches, right?
‘Fair’
‘Just’
‘Good’
Why is it that men are influenced by those words?
I think the reason is that you place those emotional anchors in your kids when they grow up. They do something they are not supposed to do, you punish them and say ‘bad’. They do what is wished? You reward and say ‘good’. Classical conditioning.
Later in life, somebody else can use these anchors in any way they wish. Since the man never really came to understand what ‘good’ or ‘bad’ really meant, it is just an emotional response. Thus when a politician says ‘be good and be a feminist’, he obeys like a little dog.
But if the people there had been impervious to bullshit, it would never have worked. You can never manipulate someone who is confident in his beliefs. So there had to be quite a willingness already. And everybody else was just forced to go along.
The men in power probably didn’t know but the ones in bars, brothels and slums certainly knew the nature of women.
That’s not correct. A lot of people now are impervious to the bullshit, but we don’t have our hands on the levers of power and do not have the deep and long standing social network to make such happen.
This isn’t a democracy we live in, nor even a republic, and hasn’t been for a very, very long time. I strongly believe that above the state level we are an oligarchy with long reigning dynasty families (not hard to look up). What we want, or don’t want, out here in red state flyover country is irrelevant. If they can’t get what they want by law, they use the courts.
“my 50’s paradise”
Ah, ok, sure. I wasn’t born yet in the 1950’s. The women I knew who grew up then or lived through it seemed to like it well enough. The only pushers for this change have been small, vocal and very well financed cliques. There was no mass social movement, most women simply accepted what came down the pike with a shrug. The first mass participation of women et. al. that I saw was the work force, and later The Pill. Very few seemed discontented with family, tradition outside of that.
Human beings have to be taught good from bad, and in fact there are some meta level good/bad markers that any society needs to survive beyond a generation. For example, the prohibition on murdering your own kind is pretty universal in any society that has lasted for any length of time. We can objectively say that this is a “good” as selected by nature. Societies that condone random murder of its own members won’t last ten years after all.
The human being is a social animal. There’s no getting around “classical conditioning” unless you think that somehow we should grow up in a cave without any contact with other human beings. We instill good and bad the same way that all great apes do to a lesser or greater degree.
Further to the point, that somebody tells you “good” or “bad” doesn’t mean you have to accept it. You may for a while but, being a human being, your mind is capable of figuring out when the wool has been pulled over your eyes. As witness, the men who reject feminism here on this and other sites. We’re not just programmed machines, we have functioning, rational minds.
“The human being is a social animal. There’s no getting around “classical
conditioning” unless you think that somehow we should grow up in a cave
without any contact with other human beings.”
That’s where Rousseau was awfully wrong, I believe.
As Joseph de Maistres said, there is no humanity without society.
The article we are commenting on is about a “50s paradise.”.
“Very few seemed…….”
And yet they all chose and continue to choose something else.
That doesnt “SEEM” to make sense.
The article commenting on the ’50’s doesn’t make it “my 50’s paradise”.
The women who grew up in the 1950’s are in their ’70’s now, give or take. They aren’t out tatted up, with piercings everywhere, butch haircuts, dyed armpit hair and cursing like sailors.
Your mistake is to make all generations into one for the sake of generalization. What you’re doing is basically the same as saying that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Dworkin at analogs. Hardly so.
Basically, betas failed a society wide shit test for which we are all paying the prices today.
What i an doing is understanding that those butch chicks did not pop up out of thin air.
Correct.
Ultimately it’s always the white knights that are the cause of our problems. When and where men try to right the wrongs of feminism there is always a sex starved white knight beta to block any real progress from happening.
The more control women have over society, and themselves, the more miserable and insane they become.
What to do?
But i thought those men were the greatest generation, when men were really men?
The greatest generation failed to reign in the baby boomers, this is true
Which is no surprise then why those working class men were so resistant to all of this “progress”, far longer than any other group.
Seems to me that the problem (or one of the problems) is that they started ignoring “just” and “good” and instead concentrated on the word “fair”. This endless attempt to make everything “fair” (by spoiled brats mainly) has not only made everything “unfair” but has destroyed the very meanings of the words “just” and “good” for most people. They can’t tell the difference between right and wrong anymore.
Yup. They didn’t realize how destructive unrestrained woman can become and just assumed they were as virtuous, loyal and honorable as men. Huge mistake.
Maybe. The less you start believing the narrative, the scarier the world becomes.
But these rational minds have been trained to operate merely in the limited scope of food and bad and that is crippling for inellect.
Reality>Idealism. Shame it’s so easy for the idealistic liberals to dismiss their ideas as brutish and uneducated.
Since Sumeria, mankind has been ruled by a centralized elites. The same elites that rules now are related to the royal bloodlines or financial families. Every president excrpt one is descendant english king john who wrote Magna Carta. It is likely European royalties can trace some of their ancestries to ancient Mesopotamia
This shows the paradox of the Enlightenment’s social project. The philosophes in the 18th Century, who had read John Locke, emphasized experience instead of authority as the foundation of all knowledge.
Fair enough. But then the people who came out of the Enlightenment with their minds on fire by its possibilities advocated radical social changes which we didn’t have any experience with to see if they would work, when logically they should have shown more caution and preferred situations where we had experience showing that those did work.
We can see this with feminism. A lot of men at the beginning probably went along with feminism, an offshoot of the Enlightenment, because at the time it sounded like a benign indulgence to women, before we had any experience with it.
After running this social experiment for a few generations, we can see now that feminism doesn’t really work. But because it has gotten locked into the culture and instituionalized, we can’t easily stop and undo it, kind of like how we can’t easily stop democracy and restore a monarchical form of government.
I’ve always believed that what has been created by Man, can be undone by Man. The question I think we’re all searching for right now is “How”.
a tipping point of some kind hopefully. Everyone is basically too economically prosperous compared to other eras to notice we’re losing what we had
The Romans had it going on economically really well right before their fall too.
Might be some kind of announcement in the next year that is worse than the 2008 banking crisis, Cypress banking crisis, Greek bailout etc that tips things.. The economic will facilitate the needed cultural change. Even the VW emissions thing, they keep these things under wraps as long as they can but eventually they come out eventually it’s got to tip..
Regarding the French Enlightenment, I like to think that what has been done by the French can be undone by the French.
Interesting. I also entertain the idea that women are really all whores. Although this sounds less derogatory when you take away the expectation that they should be anything else.
Their biological imperative is to breed. This is a good thing, not a bad one. The problem is we invented condoms and pills which fucked with the natural order. That, and children have become a financial burden instead of being a financial gain.
The entire way we have structured society today is wrong.
There is no natural order. There is just that which has been and that which is now.
No. Everything we think and do has roots in evolution. We lived as hunter-gatherers for millions of years and that is the way we are biologically designed to live. Read up on evo-psych, all the weird shit people do will suddenly make sense.
I did not deny evolution. I just said that you can make no value judgment about what is right and wrong. Evolution consists of adaption and random mutation. Today’s society is radically different from the past. If it does not collapse, it will give rise to a selection process that favors those most fit for this kind of society.
“Right” is to pass on your genes, or at least help others of your own kind to do so. “Wrong” is not to. All nature cares about is procreation, anything else is commentary.
That is ideology and has nothing to do with reason. Evolution is an observation. You can analyze the past, but you can not use that analysis to posit rules for the future. And when I say laws, I do not mean physical laws, but laws in the sense of imperatives to act.
The mutations are not random as people once thought. Mutations have to be occurring in large enough scales to be inheritable.
And whose fault is it?
During the WW2 America went to bed with Stalin and thus allowed for communism to be born and flourish in half of Europe. Now the disease is spreading and you’re contracting it.
I have no sympathy, you should have at least used a condom.
The roots are in the French Enlightenment.
Was the Cold War the last war of the French Revolution?
I don’t know if you can say that since both sides left were different interpretations of the same modern ideas.
If we have to be precise it started with Constantine I adopting Christianity as an imperial religion.
But I’m talking about direct cause and effect. Everything that happens today is because of 1945.
How does the conversion of Constantine I lead to were we are now ?
Agreed with your second point.
He corrupted the early Christian faith.
Constantine changed the place of the Resurrection of Christ.
Constantine changed the time of the Resurrection of
Constantine changed the time of the birth of Christ.
Constantine introduced the cross which is a Druid/Pagan/Satanic symbol.
Constantine changed the relationship of Christianity to the state.
Constantine created the Papacy.
Constantine was the First Pope!!
Druids ftw.
Lies and ignorance combined, what good scene. Lol
Scary fuckers, those druids.
Was I talking to you?
And to you?
And even to you?
Druids? They were seriously violent. I don’t mind that, I just wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of the fence when it came to touring Ireland at the time.
Yes, because they were giant black people from northern Africa. Tacitus described the Silures as “the dark complexion and unusually curly hair”.
Dark people, meaning dark from the mists in the bogs of Ireland, where it was (and is) constantly gloomy thanks to the fog and mists. They were as Irish as Cú Chulainn (an Irish semi-mythical although likely real hero), or if Continental, as Celtic as any given citizen in Gaul territory. I find it highly unlikely that northern Africans came up and sought out all of the Celtic tribes individually and set themselves up as shamans/druids. Plus there’s that whole “language” thing that would make that rather hard. It just doesn’t make sense logically or from an organization standpoint of a cult that is traced back to at least 200 B.C. The word “druid” even has roots in the word “oak” (no pun intended) which was a tree commonly worshiped in most Indo-European societies at one point in time or the other. The last oak worshipers were those who followed Odin, for example (Germanics)
I love all of the neat theories people come up with to explain us Celts. I get that Gaelic and Brythonic strains of Celtic languages (Cornish, Welsh) are a whopper of a language (individually) and looks like they were constructed by space aliens who were drunk and probably high, and I get that us Gaels (at least) were giants at the time and quite scary in battle, but end of the day we’re just normal Indo-European folk just like the rest of y’all.
Dark with curly hair.
And mind you I am not talking about your ancestors, the Celts, but about their ruling elite – the Druids.
The Roman Emperor Septimius Severus who led a conquest of Britain was a full-blooded African, born in North Africa.
Wonder why?
Yes they were, they burnt their slaves in a wicker.
They allowed communism to be “born” in the 1950’s?
…you’re serious?
Nothing wrong with Stalin, really. What he wanted to achieve was an economic/production system similar to that in the USA, although through different methods. Before WW2, he invited American industrialists such as Henry Ford to Russia, so that they would help establish factories such as in the US. The project was largely successful, Soviet union established a strong and relatively modern industrial base under Stalin’s leadership. This was also beginning to reflect in rapidly rising living standards of ordinary citizens (not all at once of course, and keep in mind many regions were effectively still in the Middle Ages at the beginning of the 20th century).
After his premature death, Stalin was replaced mostly by incompetent and corrupt fools, his political opponents, who in the following decades managed to fuck everything up. Bear in mind that descriptions of Stalin were written largely under the command of his pathetic successors who were, in effect, his fierce enemies…
Another such incompetent corrupt idiot was China’s Mao who also managed to almost irreparably destroy China and it’s economy. Only after Deng Xiaoping seized power and basically followed Stalin’s recipe, did China begin to emerge as an industrial power.
In short, this has little to to with communism. If you run a country and its economy right, you might as well call yourself communist, because facade is unimportant.
Nothing wrong with Stalin, really.
Haha, go an tell that the 20+ millions they died under his hand.
As for your other point, it was during industrialization that the Soviet Union became truly totalitarian. Plus he pushed for it out of sheer paranoia. “Do you want our socialist fatherland to be beaten and to lose its independence?” he asked in a famous February, 1931 speech.
Nice try though.
“Nothing wrong with Stalin, really.”
Apologist for Stalin? He killed more Russians than the nazis and murdered off anyone who would have potentially legitimately challenged him.
“If you run a country and its economy right, you might as well call yourself communist”
Centrally ran command economies don’t work. Call it what you will. Stalin was never going to allow anything else as it would require him to relinquinsh some power. Power is a one way street with some leaders.
(replying both to you and to “Krum the fearless”)
– 20+ million dead: this is a truly horrible number, but I wonder if it’s entirely true. Like I’ve already mentioned, most of what we know about Stalin is information that his commie opponents authorized. Do you believe in everything that Khruschev said?
– of course he “murdered off anyone who would have potentially challenged him”, he had to, for chrissakes. Who the fuck you think those people were? Good natured libertarians? Think again.They were exactly the kind of assholes who ran the Soviet Union from 1953-1990..
(I’ll give you another example: many Arab countries are/were run by dictators like Assad whose secret police employ brutal methods to crack down on rebels/dissenters – now that some of these dictators are removed, those rebels are running arond cutting off people’s heads and trying to establish a “world caliphate” – don’t you think it was a good thing that such brutal ‘dissenters’ were kept in check?)
– of course centrally ran economies work – if those who run them know what they are doing / hire good experts who run it for them. Critical segments/elements of the US economy are centrally run, as are critical segments of the Chinese economy, or as critical segments of the Soviet economy were centrally run under Stalin and experts appointed by him. Whether it’s competent experts in the Wall Street, or competent experts hired by something called “The central committee of the Communist party” is of course completely irrelevant, as long as economic results are there. Rose by any other name….
I am so glad I get to see the end of the 1950’s. That is, the early 90’s in bubble Japan. Yes, women were materialistic. I was one of the rare ones at the time to live with my girlfirend (now wife). We were radicals at the time. I was a raging leftist hippie by the standards of the time and place. But as the goal posts have move and the ground has shifted under my feet, I am seen today by everyone as a radical traditionalist.
Overton Window.
One thing that stands out is that Americans back then KNEW how to dress. They knew fashion, class, and style. Even the women were in better shape and look more happy.
When my boss sees me on pay day, i look kind of happy too. But he ignores what i look like the rest of the week
If you can track down family photos from the era, it holds true as well. While it’s easy to get all nostalgic over what may be staged or commercial photos from the time, real home made photos from the time mirror what you see in the pro photos give-or-take.
Heck, you don’t even have to go that far back. I ran across some work photos at a company I worked for, from the mid 1980’s. Women were all thin, almost all of them had long hair, and everybody was dressed decently. Comparing the same workplace today with that photos was a contrast between night and day.
Try the 1980’s. We knew how to dress when going to the disco and plowing a gram of coke up our noses.
Again, this mirrors what is stated in 1976 in the Fate of Empires, by John Glubb. I also get pissed when I search for homes to buy, and see what was built for the average Joe in the 1950s. Mid Century style brick homes with some actually aesthetically pleasing lines that have remained classic & sought after. Homes that were meant to be affordable and paid off quickly, unlike the cracker boxes built today & selling for a quarter million, with the design of a dog house for humans.

Also recently bought the entire James Bond collection, have been watching from start to finish. Great to see what used to be considered dressing well, the shots from how public life used to be, and the womanizing swag Bond pitches. In From Russia With Love, he is on the phone and literally pushes a woman by the face back into the bed after she teases him with her hair. & a smile on her face hahaha
men (even non-affluent men) would at least wear a sport coat & tie. Today billionaire CEO’s wear hoodies.
exactly. Even watching Bridge of Spies, you didnt see jerk offs in t shirts
This is a well researched article, but honestly, what is the point? We cant go back to the 1950s, being sentimental wont fix what ails society.
The ’50s were a “once in the history of man” decade- no way to recreate it.
Interesting chart on the explosion of welfare spending since the early ’70s; it was nothing more than hush money to keep the proles from revolting as their jobs were moved to the third world. It worked for a few decades, but what happens in the next few years when we cant afford these payments?
everyone on Medicare will be ‘encouraged’ to undergo state sponsored Euthanasia. “Do Not Resusitate” will be the standard and norm (not the exception) in hospitals with any exceptions requiring approval from the government. School will be ‘free’ but you won’t learn anything other than how to empty a garbage pail or push a mop. The idiot box will keep your mind occupied with endless reality shows as the libraries get shut down. You will get your free housing as you are crammed into giant vertical ice cube trays that are along the light rail lines so you can trudge to work serving your betters. You will still run to the store to buy the latest shiny gadgets, as the government tells you to do ‘your part’ by undergoing sterilization. Meanwhile the ‘elites’ will live in their fortified compounds flying their turboprop aircraft from compound to compound. Eventually we all get plugged into the matrix so the elites can harvest our organs.
This is just a total red herring. Nobody paid anywhere close to the top rate. See this.
Great article, bookmarked, thanks!
Yeah I looked at that graph….personal income was highest but corporate was around 45-50%…and then the two dovetail around 2000. This explains to me why growing up you always heard about folks ‘incorporating as their own corporations’ as a tax dodge…and how that loophole was closed at the turn of the century.
Entropy. Look it up. Everything changes and degrades over time, even civilizations.
Negentropy is life. It is the reversal of disorder using energy to maintain efficient organization.
Forces of entropy: Feminism, multiculturalism, government corruption, excessive free trade, open borders and diversity as promoted by the J*ws have led to rapid destabilization of America.
1950’s America = high trust, homogeneous White society with shared values. Things got done because people trusted each other. Fewer need for lawyers, heavily-armed police, etc.
2000’s America = low trust, multicultural society with no shared values aside from $$make more money$$ greed, celeb/fame-obsession, consumerism. Highest levels ever of lawyers, bankers, riots in the streets, cops armed like they’re SWAT team.
I’m a 2nd generation Vietnamese, born in New Orleans. My parents failed to assimilate and still can’t speak English. They are miserable, poor, and found no success. They dream of being back in Vietnam but have irrational fears of the commies back home.
I have assimilated in the sense that I can write and speak in English, and operate in society like a normal human being. But I’ll never feel like I “fit in” no matter how “diverse and multicultural” America is.
That’s right: you heard it here, from an “Asian” guy born here…I’d rather not be in the U.S.
So imagine how much more angsty someone would be if they were Muslim (or an illegal from Latin Am.). Angsty enough to do harm to others.
Doesn’t matter if you’re 1st or 2nd gen immigrant. You will never feel 100% like you belong here, even if you were born here like I was.
I’m 28 now and I know I’d be happier on a fucking rice paddy, ankle-deep in mud at 7am, knowing I was in my ancestral homeland. A feminine wife taking care of our babies back in the straw hut.
But you always think the grass is greener on the other side. Plenty of non-Whites from impoverished countries think America is great. Because they don’t know how ugly it is on the inside. They lack information and experience and intelligence to know.
Just some 2 cents from another guy in the comments section.
Yeah, I just knew that this had to be the result of people freely and peacefully exchanging goods and services “too much”.
Curious why your parents’ fear of communists that they saw destroy their entire country, culture and way of life is irrational?
I’m 28 now and I know I’d be happier on a fucking rice paddy, ankle-deep
in mud at 7am, knowing I was in my ancestral homeland. A feminine wife
taking care of our babies back in the straw hut.
Serious question: Why not go back, then? You don’t like it here, you don’t feel at home (by 2nd gen? Really? Heh), you seem to have a dislike of the free market and an acceptance of communists and you have already decided you prefer to live in a society more atune to the 2nd century. So what’s stopping you from returning, honestly?
Airport is this way—————–>
One of the great freedoms you have in America is the freedom to leave.
Yes indeed, I have to say living abroad as an American is comfortable and interesting especially if you speak the language and willing to adapt.
No you aren’t. Fedgov taxes US citizens no matter where they go. Thanks to FATCA it’s often difficult for a US citizen to use banks overseas. (Banks don’t want to deal with the costs and burdens of US customers thanks to the regulations) And if you want to give up citizenship to avoid these problems of fedgov’s creation the fees for that have been increasing at about 400% a year lately. Which of course doesn’t include the expense of getting citizenship elsewhere first. So no, there isn’t freedom to leave but you can still purchase it.
You have the freedom to go and live in a grass hut and squat in a rice patty.
Seems the safest place for your money is in a pickle jar buried in the backyard.
It’s amazing how ‘love it or leave it’ types react when confronted with the reality of the situation. Sure if you left and took a vow of poverty fedgov would probably leave you alone. But if you had assets like a farm, they probably would not. I know people who left the USA and thought they would be ok I guess. They are and were of modest means. In each case fedgov, the IRS specifically came knocking. It got sorted out but the fact remains fedgov is watching for every dollar it can extract.
And of course there are severe penalties
for not reporting foreign accounts to the IRS. Just because you live there isn’t an excuse either. That was before FATCA and has gotten worse in recent years too.
And as the hassles of being a US citizen increase the number of people giving up their citizenship each year increases.
Anyway the point is there is no just leaving. Just about every other government just lets people go, but not the US federal government.
Ergo go hide in a grass hut, squat in a rice paddy and hide your money.
You can’t own either the grass hut or the paddy.
Yeah, you can. Abandon your shit or stop complaining and work the system.
You have to have nothing to take or become a taker, that is correct. That’s what working the system is, becoming one of the parasites who work it such that the wealth of others comes to them.
You’re lucky…at least your parents are from the same place. Imagine your situation if they were from different countries, spoke different languages, and had different religions. You’d have no ancestral home to go to, and to some degree, no home at all.
Concerns about Multiculturalism is just a codified ways of saying , “We are concerned about the declining white population. We have to find a way to prevent those niggers gooks and spics from fucking us out of existence”
You have the same feelings as a lot of people have because the country left us. The people in those impoverished countries are still thinking of the USA as a place where a person can win out with hard work and hard work alone. A fair place that rewards those who work. It’s become a place that punishes work by taking from those that do and giving to those who don’t. (And that includes all the crony deals and so on, not just welfare) A place where like many others in the world where those who are outside the right circles just get crushed making there no point in trying.
It’s the independent existence that many men want, be it a simple farm somewhere or an auto mechanic’s shop or whatever. That’s all. But it’s been made exceedingly difficult to achieve that today. The number of skills required is just beyond one person for even simple things like a farm simply because everything has been forced into the political realm.
Not only that the rich are now using immigration to keep wages low with a large population. Despite what some think the more people you have it means a surplus of
workers you can pay less.
In the long run it will hurt them with sending money back home or saving money so they can buy a home in their home country.
Elites use immigration as internal outsourcing. You can’t ship a hotel room to Guatemala to get cleaned, for example, so you ship some Guatemalans here to do the job. Legal, illegal, it doesn’t matter.
the guy that I see riding around in a large pickup truck, filling it each morning with cheap illegal labor doesnt look very elite to me. By the way if blacks stood around like the Mexicans do, “hoping” for a job pickup, they would be picked up by the police for vagrancy and loitering
Immigration has been used as a tool to pit people against each other and drive wages down since the 19th century. Except back then it was Germans vs. Poles or Swedes vs. Italians or whatever was in a given part of the country.
I thought this was a photo comparison but instead it was photos of the 50’s compared to boring data charts. Snoozefest!
go play outside ADHD kiddo
Go get a life internet bully tough guy. High School is over and no one is impressed.
Look up the people of Walmart. That’s a good start. Here you go..
USA was 90% white in the 50s. There won’t be some sort of conservative turn that makes everything great again because these other failed cultures now make up the majority of America.
Obama’s now forcing white suburbs to accept section 8 housing. we are coasting on the fumes of white Christian civilization built by those in the 50s.
You didn’t have to be rich to have a safe neighborhood back then. Now, if you live in a city you have to be in a gated community for your daughter’s sake.
The Christian call of altruism will be the end of the white race.
But did they have kratom?
They *were* kratom. That’s right, Kratom is made from dead people from the 1950’s. You’ve gotta tell them! Kratom is dead 1950’s people! We’ve gotta stop them somehow!
This is a very disturbing article. The only point I will make is that SJWs will criticize the 1950s by saying (rightfully) that blacks were often terrorized, and certainly prevented from many economic opportunities. Well, we are humans and there is no such thing as a perfect society. By that rationale we should throw out the entire idea of Christianity because there were slaves in biblical times. We should destroy all art from the Enlightenment because there were despotic leaders holding totalitarian powers. We should tear up the Constitution because the authors were hypocritical slaveowners. And we should discount anything good about society in 2015 because we have terrorism and oppressive governments.
It reminds me of the “America love it or leave it” crowd. They can’t accept the fact that somewhere, out of 7 billion people on the planet, a person in another geographic location has a better idea, or a more peaceful or stable way of life. Indeed, society has always learned from the successes and dropped the failures–that is precisely the definition of progress. Evolution is the scientific function of accepting positive changes and eliminating negative ones. We take art from the renaissance, philosophy from the ancient Greeks, mathematics from the Arabs, literature from the authors, and we leave behind all the problems from those societies.
All this is to say that the correct way of viewing the 1950s is a stable, happy, functioning society with some shortcomings in racial and foreign relations areas. However, I’d quickly add that the US still has considerable racial problems today and its foreign affairs are if anything, worse than in the 1950s. The family life, however, of the 1950s, is one to be emulated absolutely.
Good, sane post.
I don’t know if foreign policy is worse now than the 1950’s, I view all of our foreign policy since 1946 forward as a nightmare that keeps on giving, year after year. But by measure of how many Haji’s are out killing folks with impunity in the West because of our (and Europe’s) meddling, yeah, it sucks hind tit.
Racial problems, meh, they were getting much better until the Community Organizer In Chief got into office and made it his sole God given goal to constantly stir the “dat rayyyyyyciiiis!” pot. I suspect that once he’s out of office, things will simmer down again, hopefully.
Concerning foreign policy, the US no longer has respect around the world the way it used to. Yeah, there was the silly arms race with the soviet union that wasted trillions and created a bunch of weapons that may end up biting us in the rear one day soon, but most of the world respected the US and saw it as a force for good. Who can say that today? I knew things were bad when I met girls in third world countries who judged the US as being corrupt and immoral and had zero interest in even visiting.
The US is like the King Joffrey, holding on wildly to the reigns of power its father fought hard to preserve. Well that’s not a great analogy because Tywin Lannister isn’t really a “good” guy the way the US once was.
If the elites weren’t si greedy and secretive and bent on conquest, the world would be better. So many secret technologies and coverups. The elites always been controlling the masses, but the past it was more overt.
What we’ve had is the Wilson foreign policy of meddling since 1917. It just grew a lot since 1946.
Not just blacks…even tho in the 50’s you had southern governors setting the national guard on blacks even out west the more ‘enlightened’ Los Angeles had a segregated school district. Jews were not allowed in country clubs or certain neighborhoods, homosexuality was a disgusting perversion, and even the accusation of being a ‘communist’ or pinko sympathizer was enough to destroy your life.
It’s too bad we didn’t follow through with the threats against the communists. We could have really saved this nation a whole mess of trouble.
And homosexuality is a disgusting perversion still, they’re just trying to normalize it or at least make us numb to it in the media.
Like it or not it happening, Homo’s locking lips on TV is everywhere.
Jews still aren’t allowed in country clubs where I live. Blacks aren’t either, although they accepted a token millionaire black person who lives out of state recently, basically for PR purposes. The hatred is still there, it just is rarely openly discussed.
White people are significantly more concerned about their money than racism. Everyday of the week
“Jews still aren’t allowed in country clubs where I live. Blacks aren’t either”
Where is this?
Actually this was one of the more prosperous period for blacks. Whites would not give them jobs ( suddenly all those useful jobs dried up after slavery) So blacks became more self sufficient and self reliant for survival. If it weren’t for the government exploiting their labor and not protecting the civll/human rights, there may be more prosperity today amongst blacks. Successful black business were also burned out by jealous whites. ( see : The day tulsa burned: Black Wall Street, Rosewood, Fl, ..etc ) So there was a time when blacks picked themselves up by their bootstraps. MLK and the great integration plan fucked blacks up. They went from business ownership to wanting a shitty job in a white business or riding on the front of the white bus.
I must disagree with the first sentence under the heading “Women” when the author writes “Women back then were thin, healthy, and feminine” – I think thin women are neither healthy nor feminine.
_Normal_ women are healthy and feminine. Those girls in the 3 photos are not particularly thin (especially in the first and the third photo, on a beach – look at their legs and arms), they are normal. Only the stewardesses (I refuse to call them ‘flight attendants’) in the second photo are indeed a bit on the thin side – I guess they had to be, given the physical constraints in the interiors of 1950s planes.
1950s girls in America weren’t thin, they were well-fed and normal. They only seem thin from today’s perspective, with so many bloated chicks around…
There a difference between a woman who is described as having a “phat” ass vs having a fat asssssss!
There is much good information here but I will point out fat was removed from most prepared foods and replaced by sugar between 1980 and 1985. Obesity jumped from 12.8 and 20.5% between 1980 and 88 per the chart, and today hovers around 50%. This is not a coincidence.
Sugar is big business
All this evil started with Replacing God with evolution. Suppose that God is a fairy tale, and for atheists he is. But so what? That “fairy tale” told us to live soberly, to do good unto others, to not murder. He told us homosexuality is an abomination. He told us that the woman is made for man, and not the other way around, or even for each other. So for no good reason, God was kicked out of the public arena. This all started in the 50’s yeah. And immediately all hell broke lose, and it will continue to get worse. For there is still room for more evil, just a bit more, and then the end will come. What good came out of replacing God with evolution? The answer is, no good. Evolution has not helped mankind in any way, shape, or form. Even priests were replaced by pop psychology. A psychologist that cannot judge you, but instead smiles at your deviancy. Tells you that you are not guilty of anything you do. These are the people that prey on your children, along with all the other wacked out counselors. Do you seriously think it is coincidence that when God was declared public enemy number one, all this evil just flooded our once great country? Stop blaming Jews, blacks, and other “minorities”. Take a closer look at your own heart, but to no avail, because without God being your king, you will never see the evil that really lies in it.
lack of religion, and the fact that USA is barely a white majority now. Even without religion whites aren’t as violent as other groups.
…..yeah right ….go and tell that to the Native Americans
Sorry but enlightenment through science is not the reason for the decline of the American empire. Evolution is not a tool unlike the bible was to the church for many centuries before its power was replaced in a large degree by the state. It was a tool to keep the people in order and in fear.
It is not the teaching of evolution over adam & eve that has led to a decline in the welfare of society, though I will say the decline in religious dedication and its belief systems & the subsequent decline of the church as a strong pillar of society does play a big part of the change in society from 1950s to today.
I guess you could say teaching evolution made many people loose faith in the bible & Christianity, but I certainty would rather evolution be taught to my children and not a religious fairy tale. Its unfortunate though the basic principles of Christianity – the 10 commandments and fear of doing the wrong thing in the eyes of god and also the eyes of your church going neighbors has been lost along with decline of religion in people’s lives today (even though they might call themselves Christians)
“These are the people that prey on your children”…some of the priests and some of the people who worked in religious backed child welfare institutions in my country also used their power and the cover of the church to prey on children.
Evolution was created by a White nationalist who despised blacks and women
God and evolution are NOT mutually exclusive.
Excellently spoken. Gracias.
The graph above should read “type 2 diabetes”. Those of us with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition unrelated to lifestyle choices, get sick of the confusion, stigma. and judgement that we are subjected to. It’s lazy journalism to lump type 1 and type 2 diabetes together under the label “diabetes”.
“The recent drop in violence probably has more to do with the complete emasculation of men starting in the 90s than any improvements in society”
That plus a change in law enforcement policies, i e. Militarizing and dispatching jack booted thugs everywhere whose mandates are to meet their arrest quotas and fine quotas. Their specific target arrest demographic: law abiding citizenry while turning a blind eye to the scum of society.
The rise in prison rates also makes sense that with each passing year a fuck load of laws are passed regulating everything from the kitchen sink to the cat’s tail. It is now impossible in America to not be guilty of something, anything today. Some absolute nonsensical laws carry felony charges; so let’s add in over criminalization.
When you have a moral, and family/community ordered society, you don’t need a military style police force.
The British bobbies never used to carry firearms, cause it was well known that if you killed a police officer, you’d hang…..quickly.
Once those restraints (in all forms) are gone, our world is what you get.
Rise in prison population + single (one) parent household ÷ female (no daddy) x welfare = increased prison population.
Although do agree with you on our police state thuggery.
“Rise in prison population + single (one) parent household ÷ female (no daddy) x welfare”
Definite factors as well.
Society has turned men, fag. Period!!
Indeed. They may not be gay but they sure as fuck dress and act like it.
I have to go back to movies of the 60’s and 70’s to get a clue of what a man is supposed to be or look like
Although there are exceptions, pretty much any movie made after 1980 pretty well sucked, both in terms of storyline and how men are portrayed. So looking into movies of the 60s and 70s makes sense. Actors like Steve Mcqueen come to my mind as good masculine examples.
My Man McQueen!! The young Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Sean Connery, James Coburn., Jim Brown(acting days) even young Jack Nicholson.
Fuckin eh, bro. You were reading my mind.
REAL DUDES!!!!!!
At least they dressed well back then.
Really. The pyjama pant and sweat pant people. Greasy stains included.
….painted on spandex tights , “pink” bottomed sweats and tattoos are better?
No. I meant to say that yes they did dress better. People today are slobs.
you mean , when women dressed like women
There is no return to the ’50’s but if any man wants it, you either have to bag a $100K a year job (and then hope for the best, divorce-wise) or else GTFO and find the American Dream outside of America.
It show, that Amurika is today totally FUBAR !! All achieved by you know whom ???
Excuse me. I take exception to blaming our obesity problem on anything other than the wheat. It’s the wheat dontchaknow. Doesn’t matter, they had different wheat in the 50’s and that is why they were thin. Really, it’s the wheat.
The problem is sugar. Its a major industry. all foods have it in unhealthy and unnatural quantities.
I believe in part, however, calories are killing us.
everything has calories. its the composition of the calories that matters
Quite true but I disagre with the micro/macro nutrients. I believe it contributes to confusion. It’s food, not a science project. Our forefathers weren’t concerned with the composition of food.
thats because they didn’t process sugar into poison
Great article. Love the pics. Love the graphs. They really prove your point. It wasn’t great for everyone back then but at least certain aspects were much better than they are today.
Next time please include references for all of your graphs. Credible info is the difference between us and delusional feminists
Don’t let into the illusion that things sucked for a great minority of people (usually minorities) in America back in the day. Yeah they might have not had access to society at such levels at they have today, but at least they had access to their own functioning communities. Where in the US today can you find a great neighborhood that is a majority black? Atlanta? Maybe?
Don’t Go into SW Atlanta at night or you’ll see how great Atlanta black neighborhoods can be.
This is the most absurd shit.
Welcome to RoK!
Ummm, most of these problems can be blamed on the “diversity” epidemic and changes in racial demographics. Obesity, out of wedlock births, violent crime, healthcare, etc blacks are by far the worst. Throw in declining academics and it’s the usual suspects. I go on and on. Then again the same chosen who pushed the whole feminist bs are the same that pushed the diversity farce. This game has been destroying nations since recorded history in Egypt. Same people, same routine.
Why not blame the blacks for feminism too.
What on earth does that have to do with anything? So I state some facts and you respond with some crazy nonsense. The denial is strong in you, so is the ridiculous jibberish
you white guys are so out of touch with your loose “diversity” comments.
Yay an ad hominem! Well played. Yep us dumb white guys, so dumb that you non whites climb over each other to enter the countries we built.
Lets call it what it was. Kidnapping and colonization
Built with slave labor so you couldn’t get your feelings hurt or or hands dirty.
Ok yeah let’s call it for what it was. The Barbary coast slave raids were in fact kidnappings of whites by non whites. The United states slave TRADE trend was in fact started by the first slave owner who was, wait drumroll please, a negro! Then the TRADE began and your own coconut headed “people” from africa SOLD their own people to other races, more than just whites. Then after England banned slavery, your negro leaders were up in arms and formally petitioned the crown to reinstitute slavery since it was so profitable. Since you brought it up, let’s continue. Whites have been the only race on this planet that actually formally ended slavery and fought to end slavery worldwide. The only problem is that we are the only ones that acknowledge that it is wrong. Blacks would be fine still having it. Oh and it is funny how when whites go anywhere it is evil nationalism, colonization, gentrification, etc etc. Yet when non whites flood and overrun white built 1st world nations, it is called “diversity”. Oh well, as I always say, it is better to debate with a drunk or 13 year old girl than a black.
As long as you whites continue to employ your resources into rewriting history rather than civil discourse there will be no resolution. I gotta admit, Thats a new interesting take on your HIS-Story.,that I’ve never heard. You guys are more creative than I give you credit for
I guess those same blacks instituted Jim Crow laws and wrote the Black Codes. Whites are very sensitive about the negative parts of your History. Lots of rationalizations but no apologies. When your HIS-Story involves heroic tales of “discovering” exotic lands that are already inhabited then you can’t Stop patting yourselves on the back . Those same “helpful” whites ..suddenly couldn’t allocate a job for those same blacks that worked hundreds of years for them without compensation. When you achieve riches from not paying your workers, that is neither impressive nor is it genius .. but it is quite a competitive advantage. (Unless of course, if you consider extortion genius) Yea i know… the marginal genetics inherited by “the blacks” make them incapable of learning how to do a rote factory job . Then I guess it mustt be some genetic anomaly that gives them the ability to become an engineer or maybe………. a U.S President. How did that happen with that inferior DNA. That is something that %99.9 of whites will never achieve. And Somehow, no formal methods of job creation for people who have a HISTORY of being the hardest working people on the face of the earth.Tell me….who exactly in whiteman’s history worked harder than a slave. Sorry but there were no mexican or immigrant laborers (blacks are non-immigrants) to move masonry ,build homes, government buildings and roads. Most of the history that you and all your immigrant descendant friends are so proud of had nothing to do with your ancestor’s efforts . The infrastructure was in place before your great great immigrant grandperson arrived upon U.S soil. If you think you qualify to be called an American. What exactly did you do to earn it other than being born here. I think everyone knows what the black ancestors “contributed” to earn their American status. I do understand the jealousy.
Also, you don’t get a moral badge of honor for..ha ha …ending slavery.
Ask a southerner why they have such pride in that Confederate symbol. Lincoln’s edict to release blacks from slavery was not a moral decision. It was initiated to cripple the economic dominance that the south had over the union. By the way, because of the division in the US at that time, he did not have, nor was he given the autonomy nor authority to make decisions that would come to abate the financial stranglehold held by the south. ( Was it a coincidence that only the slave holding states seceded from the union) That’s why they are still pissed at him to this day. Talk about lack of foresight. Too prejudice to use their own slaves to fight for their cause. They could have won!! Look it up. Take some comfort in the fact that this history was documented by white historians. Didn’t they didn’t teach that at your “public” school?
Didn’t you just lump black into your toxic “blame”stew. out of wedlock births, violent crime, healthcare problems. You guys are also concerned about feminism so you might as well toss a dash of feminism in there. Im sure theres a way that you can connect blacks with that too. If its gibberish all I have to do is cut and paste your words. What is it with you people. No matter what you complain about theres always some racial component to it.
I feel sorry for all these angy descendants of immigrant whites whose grandparents didn’t have the foresight to put a stake in the ground to take advantage of the first Affirmative action plan in America. The Homested acts of the 1860s. Instant wealth. But the way only white immigrants could participate. The rest of you have to work for a living.
coconut head. Is that supposed to be on the same level of offense to me as descendant of slave trader is to you.
Blacks don’t have to be ashamed about what was DONE TO them during slavery. Whites on the other hand will remain defensive and will wear the shame for the rest of their days unless there is a civil and financial correction. Since whites hold onto money for dear life, it won’t ever happen. So Good luck with that White Guilt thing. Its the gift that keeps on giving.
Probably the dumbest satire I have ever read on this site. Yes, I am actually letting you have it easy by calling this article satire instead of whatever you intended it to be. Americans are way better off than they were in the 50s and your blind entitlement to pussy is rotting your brain.
Surely, you are being satirical. Purchasing power was much greater. An average blue collar man could support a family on one income. Healthcare was affordable. Transportation was cheap. People were much safer (we never locked out doors in a large mid sized city). I remember people used to leave their keys in their cars. Most moms stayed home and were great cooks and took care of the kids. All anecdotal for sure, but it sure felt a lot better.
The main reason women in the 1950s were so skinny is because most of them smoked cigarettes, not because of particularly healthy lifestyles. By the 1960s vast numbers of them were also strung out on Valium, Darvon, Dexedrine and booze. Many of the WWII veteran husbands and fathers of the 1950s suffered from PTSD and terrorized their families behind closed doors. And “cocktail hour”? That was when a goodly portion of the 1950s “perfect parents” sat down and got legally drunk each and every evening with a couple of stiff drinks, followed by wine with dinner. These same parents who look so idyllic with their little ones in the 1950s were all in favor of sending their beloved tykes off to Vietnam by the late ’60s for no good reason except that they were told to. And we can also thank the 1950s “greatest generation” for endorsing and perpetuating hemp and cannabis prohibition, the most costly public health policy in history. The 1950s was OK in some respects, but having lived through it as a child I wouldn’t wish it on my own kids.
Ok Henry, but give us this. Those women barely showed cleavage or any skin above their knees , but were still hot as Hell!! Why was I was so infatuated with a woman named Marilyn , who died before I was born. Please give a fair comparison. Weren’t the women of your day hotter!
I don’t think they were any hotter. They shouldn’t be as it was only a couple of generations ago, Maybe you just a bit more nostalgic for more refined, feminine, slimmer women. The hip to waist ratio is a big sub conscious attraction factor for many men. I really don’t get the infatuation for MM. I would rather a modern day young Angelina Jolie
As HM posted some of those 1950s svelte figures were due to high cigarette consumption, which is hardly ideal, but still discounting that people likely did not eat as much nor was there the level of sugar (much of it hidden in products) and processed food and junk food in people’s diets. What people call skinny today was slim then, and today’s thin/slim was 1950s normal average. Today a women over 25 gets bonus points in the dating market for not being overweight.
Many good points ^^
Born just in time to witness later stages of the complete decline and destruction of my nation, and the beginning of the end of the world.
Ouch. Im with you
U can join my tribe bro
“Many men today fare poorly when it comes to dating because they interact with women as if it’s still the 1950s.”
A powerful understated point. When will men wake up.
Lots and lots of data in this article.
One thing, I think the graphs on crime and rape should not be twisted to suit your argument. It is obviously good that these rates are lower than in the past and coming down. Is the higher incarceration rate a cause of the reducing crime rate?
2. I don’t think we should hark back to a mystical age of the 1950’s. We should always look forward. Many things are better now than then. I think I would rather live now than at any time in history. Our health – if we take ownership of looking after ourselves – is better now than ever. We also have more choices in life. i also don’t think it does any harm that people – men and women – have more control over their own lives.
3. Margaret Thatcher PM, used to always talk about incentives and how people responded to small changes to do what is best for them. Sometimes you can make minor changes in laws and how society works and it can lead to massive unintended consequences. I think that if benefits are reduced and the laws that govern divorce and allocation of assets could have a big impact to how people choose partners, decide whether to get married, whether to have children and whether to stay together. Beyond that individuals – men and women – should have complete choice in how they lead their lives, but they must take the consequences, both good and bad.
I think the divorce laws tend to penalise men over women in the vast majority of cases, so they have withdrawn from the whole marriage/children game. They have too much to lose, especially if they own a single property that then becomes the family home. The only people choosing to have children are those who don’t work and who are supported by the state, and those rich enough to own several properties so they don’t lose their sole property and home during a divorce.
4. Men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. Opportunities to take any job or profession, go where they wish and lead their life how they wish. But the key point here is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. There should be no Positive Discrimination or artificial incentives or pressures to meet quotas. People should have to progress on their own merit and skills. I am from the UK, in my opinion one of our greatest Prime Ministers was a woman – Margaret Thatcher – and I would have been quite happy for her to rule for 35 years and have a government full of women. On one condition – that they were the best for the job and were there on merit.
As long as they are there on merit I don’t think you have any argument about any woman being in any position at all. The problems only come when someone is in a position artificially.
Men and women should also be able to live their lives how they wish, as long as they are open to accept the full losses as well as gains from their decisions.
That’s all you can ask.
Do u know what Is the result for America: graduAl process to totalitarian government.
National security act and patriot act weren’t good.
“Many men today fare poorly when it comes to dating because they interact with women as if it’s still the 1950s. ”
So true. And men do this because this is what comes natural to them.
The question is, “What has changed in women to now reject this nice-guy behavior in men?
“The recent drop in violence probably has more to do with the complete emasculation of men starting in the 90s than any improvements in society.”
lmao
when the stats don’t support your view, just make stuff up. What did I even expect from RoK.
Raised during the 50’s. There were few fatties because hunger (not starvation or malnutrition) was considered to be a part of life. “I’m hungry.” was met by “You’ll have to wait for dinner.” and whining didn’t work.
The 70’s were the best decade for me. The music was AWESOME. The women were still feminine. The Vietnam war ended and people were cool back then. The culture revolved around the youth. You could hitchhike safely (girls included). Gas was cheap. It was easy to make friends. People partied a lot and had fun. Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson were the most popular actors. Tuition was cheap (my in-state tuition was $220 per semester…lol). Most American were still very patriotic.
Now, I cant stand it here. I cant wait to move to another country (probably Colombia).
Maybe Trump can change the tone, who knows?
You got jewed.Face it !
The role of government seems to have little significance to Mr. Skoll. Back in the fifties the United States was competitive on the world market and people were looking forward to ever-continuing growth. Youngsters could open a lemonade stand without the FDA requiring the posting of ingredients and the calorie count. When we got older, temporary summer jobs like picking peaches in an orchard or making hay made us some money – with no government interference. I could drive an 8N (small Ford tractor) by age eight, no longer legal. I hung around a garage that did repairs when I was thirteen, helping out and learning mechanics. I don’t see much of that any more with today’s regulatory climate. If Mr. Skoll thought relationships were simple with no games in the fifties, he didn’t grow up in the real world – nor was he ever an adolescent. Now, the government has grown so large that it absorbs the productivity of the private sector, casts a regulatory shadow over it and taxes it into a non-competitive economic status – which is why corporations are moving out. Our government is exercising its powers to make the United States unattractive to entrepreneurs, stifling (indeed, punishing) productivity, and alleviating the disadvantages of failing to be productive – or even useful. And Hillary the Anointed, the Progressive ikon. promises to increase both corporate taxes and regulation. That is scary.
It’s not government regs that are the problem, and moaning about “regulations” is shorthand for “Uncle Sam won’t let me dump my sludge in the nearest creek anymore”, it’s importation of cheap foreign labor both legal and illegal. Wetbacks are picking peaches, and H2Bs are working at resorts.
Man; I’m on contiki and the girls I have seen in Europe have been slimmer, hotter and way better dressed/less obvious makeup than any girl back home.
Only London so far, it’s 4am at night/morning and this is as goodas any I’ve seen to find a wife. Waiting in
Until france or Barcelona Spain to make the final judgement.
This country has gone totally to shit. In another generation, IMO, It will not be a country, as we know it, but a third world craphole. Too much racism in the 50’s, and women would divorce you if you did not make enough $$$, but it was still nice in ways. I do think they were too prudish then also. 0verall, I think the US peaked in the 70’s.
No. Maybe the USA peaked in the 1950s, maybe the 1980s, but not the 70s. The 70s were a disaster. Watergate, defeat in Vietnam, Soviets kicking our ass all over the globe, Iranian hostage crisis, oil crisis, really shitty economy with inflation and high unemployment. Oh, and really ugly clothes, to boot. The 70s were the pits.
Yea, I forgot about a lot of that stuff. But my reasoning is this. The 60’s had all the protesting, and the liberals screwing stuff up. The 80’s were good yes, but feminism was starting to take hold. And the 90’s had the No means No bullshit. I remember a lot of guys getting screwed. Thanks for the input, I will have to goe review my memories. Balancing the pros and cons, perhaps the 50’s were the peak.
This was your best article yet.
Man, they were really living in the “stone age” back then.
You should have listed the old photos form the 50’s side by side with a photo from today of the same subject so the comparison could be made better.
The 50s were the true golden years of the United States.
One of the best parts about the fifties was how blacks were kept in line. The bowel movements matter crap we saw in 1991 and 2014/2015 would never have occurred during the 1950s because blacks feared and respected the white man.
Today you have white male wimps passively muttering “I’m not racist but…” instead of confronting this country’s glaring race problem head-on.
The noise still know that a “Justice fo’ Travon ” chimp out will leave them cut down in the street.
There’re dumb but There’re not that dumb
A preferable era in many senses, particularly regarding job security and family stability. From my reading and viewing of a lot of the popular culture at the time, which I admit is a flawed secondary source, there were a lot of unhappy marriages. You married young and you were stuck with whatever you chose come what may. Good era if you were raised well and were guided properly in the choice of a suitable mate.
Maybe the increased incarceration rate is tied to the drop in violent crime-?
Also, the income high tax rates of the 1950s (up until 1986), were largely misleading – nobody paid the highest rates since there were so many types of tax shelters available. Today it’s actually a bit worse.
Absolutely there would be a strong connection there. I also suggest the author read the book Freakonomics as to discover another aspect to the decline in crime…the introduction of legal abortion (less unwanted neglected future delinquent children).
Excellent article and thorough analysis. No matter where or how, this era and atmopshere should be our aim for the society we will create.
1- Family- whilst the 50’s had a very visible family component to it, the book “White Heat” shows that rates of adultery were just as high as during the 40’s and that many men and women remained quite traditional during the 60’s, often marrying before the age of 30 and starting a family.
2- Women- I see this whole website is designed to insult women and to denigrate a woman’s personal desire for independence ad freedom of choice. The article conveniently forgets to mention how it was women in the workforce who held down the fort during both World Wars. And the article also fails to explain why women pushed to join the workforce in large numbers- simply because they wanted to choose thier own destinies. Many of the current divorces come from couples who married early during the 50’s and research in 2014 argued that conservative values- often coupled with religion- could actually harm marriage. Researchers found that many who had married early during this period wished that they hadn’t. Women wanted to choose careers and gain financial independence and it is not for the author of this article to denigrate a free human choice.
Yes, the US was 90% White/European in those days. But the seeds of our destruction was already present. We then had 50 years of Jewish social deconstruction. After all, a sick degenerate race of Asian shape-shifters just don’t feel to comfy in a healthy White society.
I will disagree with most of the above except that women now are fatter. that is 100% true. we have bunch of pigs at the trough in America.
What are people smoking? The fucking 50s? Sure lets go back to the time when minorities and women were second class citizens, When it was more difficult for men to see other women? Lets go to a time of complacency. As for rape rate decreasing? Being a rape victim at that time was considered being “Damaged goods.” Most women wouldn’t report it. Also husband’s could not be arrested or convicted of rape like today. That would explain why the rate was so low in the time. Going backwards is pathetic and screams of beta cowardice rather than looking ahead for a glorious new future.
Plus no pill so it was either to get a ho pregnant and be marriage trapped. The 50s was a terrible time.
Twat, rape victims are damaged goods today.
What man wanto to deal with that?
Congratulations, you are a sheep. You have bought into the Hollywood horseshit hook, line, and sinker. “Husbands couldn’t be convicted of rape”.. WTF are you talking about? “Most women didn’t report it”. Ahh, this line again. Its so nice to throw this stupid, unknown stat around to explain away better times. If minorities were “second class” then then what are they now? Tell me things have improved for minorities or will anytime soon? You trying to tell me black communities are better? Women were not second class citizens in the 50s, they were far and away the primary citizens of the country. Thats an old myth that the feminists have sold to idiots. Ohh, they were chained to a stove. I got news for you. What are some of the biggest shows now for women? Answer, shows where women don’t have to work and got a man bringing home the bacon. You think a woman raising a family while her husband made enough money to support them was being “second class”?
a glorious new future where minorities don’t commit 80% of violent crimes?
Women were also modest and men dressed more professionally. I think the way a person presents themselves to the world says quite a bit about them. Modesty in women is important not advocating for burkas or anything extreme but just a normal sense of decency and self respect in dress for men and women is something our modern culture greatly lacks.
Bbbut no ‘diversity’
while im sure there is slivers of truth in there. alot of it was due to the economics. we could afford to be one bread winner. we where at the top of the world economically since we had effective bombed the only people who could compete with us in the war.
Higher divorce rates and rise of violent crime is not a coincidence. We need to return to old ways when fathers were breadwinners and mothers would sit at home and nurture their kids.
one overlooked influence on our current socioeconomic predicament is TELEVISION! sadly it was Americans themselves that rejected by $ votes the good wholesome educational television that could have propelled our society into a new golden age of acumen so common in television’s beginning.
Got served by a short haired bull-dyke in a petrol station.Never had to put up with this kind of nonsense back then.
Thank you for putting out an article that explains this movement. I have been preaching this to anyone who would listen for at least 10 years. It is clear to me what happened.
When thinking about the number of people incarcerated in this country it’s important to note that the rate has increased along with our suicidal legal and illegal immigrant policies post 1965.
I read that the US has more people in prison than the Russians ever had in gulags (currently 6m). What a statistic to be proud of…not! Its possible more citizens went to the gulags but just that the life expectancy in Siberia was not that great for many so the total population never got to the same levels or the same % of population that the US now has. Half the US prison population is in there for drugs offenses (good luck trying to find one crooked banker in there) and there is likely a strong correlation with immigration but its hardly just immigrants who take drugs in the US. Maybe the immigrants are too poor to afford decent lawyer to get them off.
The Marxist move quickly to destroy and takeover. The sad thing is the sheep are cheering them on every step of the way. The sniveling commies think they will all get a seat at the big boy table when the transformation is complete. They don’t understand all they will get is the crumbs.
you know i would like to argue that families werent near as healthy as you suppose.
America if we get right down to it has been on an ever steady decline since the civil war. not only did the south get completely blasted to hell and back and now had a bunch illiterate folks free…but you know being illiterate meant they knew nothing….ending slavery….noble idea….the execution of it was beyond terrible though.
you then had public schools….I’ll give my ancestors credit….they fought against public schools when they reared their ugly heads in the 1850s and 1860s. and lets not forget the late 1800s gave us circumcision aka the fine act of raping your infants and cutting off half their genitals.
feminism also begins to rear its slow and ugly head back then too in the late 1800s.
all that said….we eventually get to the 1950s…and 1940s the so called greatest generation. circumcision aka rape and mutilation rates are easily at 90% for boys and 50-70% for girls….yes that is your so called stable family unit you speak of. stable family unit my ass.
we also have the fact that public schools which are based off the prussian system have now been in full effect for 50 years or more. so parents were sending their children off to get brainwashed.
lets not forget another way in which this family unit was oh so stable…..THEY FUCKING RAISED the next generation of assholes that would send us into the sorry liberal fucktard state we are in today.
so yes…stable family unit that rapes infants with no remorse, sends them to get brainwashed at school, and proceeds to raise the future generation of liberal fucktards. yes stable family unit my ass.
parents of the 60s and 50s….you failed your children and you failed them badly. and i still havent even touched on how you sold us out with a mountain of debt by passing your welfare programs and social security programs and completely abandoned all concepts of saving money.
this so called 1950s stable family unit was a ticking time bomb that surprise surprise….young folks today will have to deal with the wrath of that but they dont care because DAMN KIDS BACK IN MY DAY….yeah back your day you were busying raising the liberal fucktards that would eventually kill us all.
but its okay my grandmother wasnt like that….she was sweet old darling lady. and could make a mean apple pie. /sarcasm
Bring back the 50’s !!
Who’s ass was this pulled from?
LOL’d so hard at this.
This so called great generation produced baby boomers which were the beginning of the end in terms of social issues. You also forgot the main factor to this in which are the demographics of race in this country. As more minorities came to America after the disastrous Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, this country got worse and lost its identity. The Very same people that made this country great are going to be a minority by 2045. Multiculturalism= Crime, Murder and Mayhem
Diversity= White Genocide
I mean, men have gotten just as fat and tattooed, and their behavior has changed with the times just as women’s have. To claim they court women as if they were still in the fifties is false.
To say all of these problems are due to social change in women would be a misconception at best, or blatant ignoring at an attempt for a sexist article. Are you trying to say that inflation isn’t the cause of increase of money spent on healthcare (or even that everything is more advance and that technology costs much moola to fund and maintain)? Could it be that consumerism is the cause of the increase in cost of everything, and that the marketing of unhealthy foods that cause obesity? You’ve really ignored a lot and inserted your own casuistry for essentially all of the statistics you gave.
I get that this is an opinion piece, which you are welcome to write and I am damn welcome to argue with. But IF you are going to spout statistics as proof, you aught to give your readers the benefit of actually explaining what they really mean- and that there are multiple factors to every one.
If women were so happy why were they so miserable? Is the author of this article a woman?
You can just tell whoever wrote this was extremely hurt, or rejected by so many women that he uses his spare time to write about how much “better” women were back when they had no rights. p.s. I love my “trashy” tattoos an piercings 😉
This article is so moronic on several fronts that all I can do is feel sorry for the reader.
This is satire, right?
This entire website is hilarious, but this is the funniest I’ve seen yet. My sides may never recover. Parody at its finest! Great work!
;D
Patriarchy is the normal way our species forms social groups. Just as lions live in prides or wolves form packs. Feminism is a perversion. It was inevitable that it destroy our society from the inside out.
