I literally said nothing about anger, you may be projecting. It's simple; we use history to inform us of the future. Realizing that part of the rise of fascism now is based on trying to return things to the 50s standard of where minorities, gay people, and women were subservient helps us to better fight against the rise of facism. We can use further back history like Germany, etc. to compare the patterns to, to better help us fight it. That's how it works.

Fascism wasn't being fought in the 50s because you has multiple basic slave classes to support those in power already. It had already won to a large degree. We now have to make sure it doesn't get back there.

I kind of see it as the reverse. The 60s were glorified as hippies and peaceful marches changing history when it was actually bloody and crazy and knowing that the white youths being scared of the draft combined with minorities starting to get more and more violent means that the country had to move a different way to flourish.

Less about showing the past and more about hiding the darkest parts of the past.

Look at how few people knew about racists bombing black prosperity until Watchmen came out.

The only way to get people to figure out the sins of the current is to recognize the sins of the past.

I'm so sincerely lost as to why you consider this as a reply to my reply that I have no idea what to say.

Unless you're doing one of those the Left are the true fascists things? But youre talking about the Right rise. Dunno seriously lost.

There is a lot of worry, but we need to isolate these I Love the 50s people and see what exactly they love. I expect them to never answer and run away because they realize a tipped hand.

I said that born in 1979 and then the Internet happened in the early 90s and completely, utterly changed the world. I think people saying this are late Mills who haven't seen their jump yet. Most generations get one or a few huge ones.

My dad was born in 58 and his parents couldn't own property and they couldn't drink out of the same water fountains as other people. My grandmother could at best be a maid, and would basically make pennies to do so. Every gay person was completely in the closet. Please explain what was so great about that period?

It's kind of suspect.

In 58, women and black people were not allowed to work, information was very regionally controlled, and it was really, really hard for people to educate themselves on anything. You had libraries, but without college pushing you, you had no idea what to read.

The side effect of this is that average white males basically were able to have an average existence and still cheaply own houses, cars, etc. and get regular sex. Women couldn't get decent jobs, so they were forced to marry and stick with dudes they didn't necessarily want for other comfort. Latin and black people couldn't get the best jobs so there was no competition, etc. The "nuclear family" is basically based on this lack of competition and choice. That's what "Make America Great Again" is all about.

Time trav me back to 1958 and I'll end up lynched on a tree because I get dragged behind a truck for getting tired of someone calling me the N word where I couldn't live a basic existence or even get property and it wears on me too much where I get myself killed.

The 50s is a ridiculously ludicrous time for anyone to say, and when they do, they're hugely suspect.
