Is it true things were always this bad and nostalgia's a lie?

i grew up during the cold war.
i distinctly remember it being better than the internet.

No...I grew up in a small town that was a lot like the 50s because they were behind the times

Whitewashing, or rather, "blackwashing" history in this case. The boomer thing wasn't unique to the US either, there was even sort of golden age in the 70s in the soviet bloc.
Easiest metric is how many paychecks it costed to buy a house and establish family. Mortgages used to be 3-5 years, now 20 to 30 years.
Objectively 5-10x harder to live.

Jews pathologize healthy normal family relationships and societies. This video is a good primer.

Some was much better, some blew chunks.
The nation was not this racially divided (sounds weird huh?) but we didn't have most of the cool crap people today take for granted.
Life was a bit more work and there was the constant worry about the Russians nuking us but overall, I'd say it looks better than today.
Of course being poor and 20 in perfect health is much better than being old and rich with pains you've had so long you can't even remember how they happened. There's that. I'd imagine this would be a good time to be young.

Things were by no means perfect but there is a concerted effort afoot to undermine our own history. They want people not only to forget how great this country, and the West in general, was but to think it was always wretched and awful. Makes the dumb masses feel better about their current condition if they think it has always sucked. They want us all to forget that it wasn't long ago a kid fresh out of high school could grab a great job, buy a house, a couple of cars, and provide handsomely for his stay at home wife and kids.

Coontz isn't a Jewish name.

No, America died on 9/11

True, these kind of posters weren't the reality of the 1950's but they were the ideal that people pursued. What ideal do people pursue now?

Part of nostalgia is imagination but enough of it is the truth to make you nostalgic in the first place. People only get nostalgic when the era they are actually living in sucks.
Kayden Rivera
Things were better in the past by almost any metric, other than possibly video games. The technological advancements were fun and nifty in the 90s, but being "connected" to everything and everyone nowadays is unironically killing our souls. Most people are fucking toxic and should have stayed unconnected and hidden away by their ashamed parents.
Owen Morris
Excellent vid, user, thanks!
Jordan Brown
No. I'm nearly 50 and the `80s were definitely not as fucked up as things are now.
Chase Adams
I am over 50 and I agree. This country was great, and do be what we were we need to do what we did...
Isaiah Morgan
She is a commie. This is the sort of thing commies do.

46 years ago the average single income was 12,000. Average house 28,000 average car 3.800. Today average single income is 30,000 with average house 250,000 and car 30,000.
Those absolutely were better days. Also the average CEO made 30 times what the guy in his warehouse made. Today's CEOs make 300 to 400 times more. Communism steals from everyday folks on the front end while capitalism steals it all on the back end. Two sides of the same economic scam laden shekel.
Chase Robinson
Fucking lies. Nostalgia is the best for a reason.
Landon Flores
Almost 41 here and can confirm that regarding the 1980s-the best decade.
Austin Davis
Also this side of 50 and yes the 80s were great.
Ian Richardson
>and do be what we were we need to do what we did...

Everyone knows the 1950s were better. Higher community trust, lower crime, higher buying power, etc.
This book is just some anti-western propaganda piece for leftists to cite in a losing argument against people who still have a working memory.

How do we go back?
Cameron Hernandez
This is your contribution to the thread you underaged faggot?
Noah Lewis
Confirmed here too. Almost everyone was happy in the 80s.
The main downside was that boredom was fairly common because not as much tech.
Lincoln Reyes
stop subsidizing meat/dairy at the federal level, close big box stores, end urban welfare, end agrobusiness. People return to subsistence existence in small farm towns. Everyone will be poor. Those rich people on the left own the town
Zachary Gray
Where is this plan on a plausibility scale spanning from "impossible" to "inevitable?"
Lucas Murphy
I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Our culture was objectively better before Reagan’s amnesty and Bush’s NWO.
