Was 1950s USA the pinnacle of human civilisation?

Still mad we got rid of Art Deco

Fucking pissed actually. We had serious culture then.

>Too racist
But niggers had jobs and education that time. Now they just rob each other.

Isn't it still garbage though?

The hipster movement actually did a fuckton for your food though, you need something else than just American BBQ and burgers as your food culture

Everyone in that picture has since died of lung cancer

nah

Also our beer is INFINITELY better. And hipster music is pretty cool tbqh with you senpai

>Not back then
Are you kidding me. The postwar years gave us McDonalds, Hi-C, Kraft Cheese Slices and other horrors. The stuff they ate back then was barely even food. In fact the rate of heart attacks in the US shot through the roof in the 50s-60s.

good for them, everything went to shit in the 90's

>The hipster movement actually did a fuckton for your food though
Or more accurately the hippie natural foods movement in the 70s. That was the beginning of a reaction against the postwar diet.

It was the beginning of the end

The denial is strong in this one

Retard, the 90s was mini 50s, no soviet union, economy booming, bright colours everyone positive.

>hipster music is pretty cool
That's because it goes against the current trend of declining music and lyric complexity. Since signing new artists into the mainstream costs around 3 million, people prefer to either bet on safe bets or "same old" with songs completely banking on cashing in on familiarity. Doesn't help that almost every big pop song is written by the same two guys, Max Martin or Lucasz Gottwald.

I love your new beer-movement, it's happening here aswell.

>Retard, the 90s was mini 50s, no soviet union, economy booming

The first half of the 90s in the US was a recession and the 50s wasn't all that great economically if you actually look into it. It only seemed prosperous because of how far we'd sunk in the Depression.

Yeah, that makes sense

Music also evolved a shit-ton

>economy booming
u wot
Unemployment rates were breaking records during the 90s, at least in France. I'm pretty sure it was the same in the UK

America used to have an actual, strong, identifiable culture back then. I will never forgive globalists for ruining our nation forever.

Too bad the Butthurt Belt is all at work/school now because I'd love to hear them tell about their 1950s. ;)

People back then said American culture was declining and being corporatized and processed. Ever read Henry Miller's "Sunday After The War" and "The Air Conditioned Nightmare"?

no u
saying everything went to shit in the 90s means 1990 was better than 2000

>Air Conditioned Nightmare
Sounds great

The best most could aspire for was an assembly line worker, and higher education was largely closed to them. You also stood a good chance of being regularly beaten or killed for your skin colour.

why do anglos love retarded shit so much?

black unemployment is at 5.9% actually

No

I'm glad we don't have booze ads everywhere today and drinking is no longer glorified.

Back then if you were black, you could be a cook, shoeshine boy, street sweeper, or you could play in a band and live in squalid conditions.

I swear today you see them driving huge-ass Cadillac Escalades and shopping at Nordstrom's while you have some shitbox car and clothing purchased at Goodwill.

>b-but they smoked and drank alcohol we don't do that anymore!!

Probably. The way the average American lived in the post-war years? The whole world was jealous of the way of life.
There were some unethical human experiments going on at the same time, however, so wasn't all smooth sailing.

being fat isn't the same as being drunk, just look at how shit mexico is mexico being a country where everyone older than 10 drinks

Smoking is mostly a white trash pastime today and celebrities don't plug cigarettes like they did in the 50s. Also most advertisement of tobacco has been banned while it was everywhere and omnipresent in those days.

Not entirely. Western Europe had a similar period of prosperity from the 1940s-70s.

That generation acted as if manly men smoked Camels, chugged down whiskey, and pinched the secretaries' asses at work. I mean, let's be honest that we've evolved a little bit since them.

I prefer the 80's which was kinda the same

Western Europe didn't complete recovery from the war until the late 50s. It's often been said that the 1958 World's Fair was the "coming out" party for the new postwar Europe.

no because in the 80s you, a spic, would have been able to sit with white people on the bus or buy a house in a white area

>you can't drink alcohol without getting drunk
dumbass. and drinking a lot leads to obesity so maybe they didn't drink that much after all

why the fuck do americans drag race into everything

you've clearly never been around nonwhites or have had to experience what it's like being around a litter of them running through a store stealing shit and being obnoxious

Probably.
But only because Europe in 50s was devastated.
The only country who got a lot of benefits from WW2 is USA

You'll be running into a lot of problem, if you don't take race into concideration. But it's okay, race is only skin deep :^)

Drunk driving was also only a minor offense back then and entertainment portrayed drunks as comedic characters instead of pathetic wastes of life.

taking race into consideration is retarded, considering upbringing and ideology of people is what matters

that's not the point. you have americans saying "oh the 50's was such a horrible time because racism" like why do you have to throw the baby out with the bathwater?

lol

American food still is pig disgusting shit. I mean, I hardy saw any real cheese when I lived there. Most things, such as pizza was drowning in grease and almost inedible (for me).
The food at the grocery store was either disgusting or so expensive that I wouldn't consider buying it.

>The only country who got a lot of benefits from WW2 is USA
You got a collection of slave countries for your trouble.

>American food still is pig disgusting shit. I mean, I hardy saw any real cheese when I lived there
Try not shopping at Wal-Mart. Any decent supermarket has all the cheese you could want often including imported European cheeses.

I used to shop at HyVee, however, real cheese war extrodanery expensive.

The cars look cool but you wouldn't want to own or drive them. They rusted horribly and the handling, ride, and reliability were poor by modern standards.

because fuck having to share the same places as niggers, mexicans belong in their own containment zones too

>lol
not an argument

git gud

.5kg of Brie is like $6 and I live deep in the mountains

No.

In 1950, in order to conduct a simulation of a biological warfare attack, the U.S. Navy sprayed large quantities of the bacteria Serratia marcescens – considered harmless at this time – over the city of San Francisco during a project called Operation Sea-Spray. Numerous citizens contracted pneumonia-like illnesses, and at least one person died as a result. The family of the man who died sued the government for gross negligence, but a federal judge ruled in favor of the government in 1981. Serratia tests were continued until at least 1969.
Also in 1950, Dr. Joseph Stokes of the University of Pennsylvania deliberately infected 200 female prisoners with viral hepatitis.
From the 1950s to 1972, mentally disabled children at the Willowbrook State School in Staten Island, New York were intentionally infected with viral hepatitis, for research whose purpose was to help discover a vaccine. From 1963 to 1966, Saul Krugman of New York University promised the parents of mentally disabled children that their children would be enrolled into Willowbrook in exchange for signing a consent form for procedures that he claimed were "vaccinations." In reality, the procedures involved deliberately infecting children with viral hepatitis by feeding them an extract made from the feces of patients infected with the disease.
In 1952, Chester M. Southam, a Sloan-Kettering Institute researcher, injected live cancer cells, known as HeLa cells, into prisoners at the Ohio State Penitentiary and cancer patients. Also at Sloan-Kettering, 300 healthy women were injected with live cancer cells without being told. The doctors stated that they knew at the time that it might cause cancer.
In 1953 Frank Olson died after a fall from a hotel building after being unknowingly doped with LSD by the CIA nine days prior.

what a barbarism riding your car on the beach, just imagine music from every car, noise, like having rest on the highway

>The San Francisco Chronicle, December 17, 1979, p. 5 reported a claim by the Church of Scientology that the CIA conducted an open-air biological warfare experiment in 1955 near Tampa, Florida and elsewhere in Florida with whooping cough bacteria. It was alleged that the experiment tripled the whooping cough infections in Florida to over one-thousand cases and caused whooping cough deaths in the state to increase from one to 12 over the previous year. This claim has been cited in a number of later sources, although these added no further supporting evidence.[

>During the 1950s the United States conducted a series of field tests using entomological weapons. Operation Big Itch, in 1954, was designed to test munitions loaded with uninfected fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis). In May 1955 over 300,000 uninfected mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) were dropped over parts of the U.S. state of Georgia to determine if the air-dropped mosquitoes could survive to take meals from humans. The mosquito tests were known as Operation Big Buzz. The U.S. engaged in at least two other EW testing programs, Operation Drop Kick and Operation May Day.

You should be happy this is public knowledge. Control of the planet does not come lightly my naive friend. Learn your history and you'll find we're the kindest fucking civilization around, with this much power.

it's common in countries with actual beaches

and you wonder why americans are so obsessed with race. we'll never get this heaven on earth back

A lot of fucked up shit was done by the government back then. The baby boomers in the 70s demanded and got much of it exposed and that led to stuff like the Freedom of Information Act.

In one particularly memorable experiment, several dozen convicts were paid to have their testicles irradiated to study the effects of ionizing radiation on sperm production. It was with great regret that these subjects had to be given vasectomies afterwards and be prevented from reproducing; one scientist said it was unfortunate that we would never know exactly what effects it would have on any children they sired.

even nowadays, fuck, so you come to have a good time and have to 'enjoy' some shitty rap or latino beat.. where is it?

Yeah, sorry about black people being able to be successful Cletus

Nice baitpost

What is even your point

How are you even comparing BMI to alcohol and drinking?

Typical daneposting

Now if it were in the Soviet Union, they wouldn't have to pay you to irradiate your balls or even ask your permission. If they wanted to use you for experiments like this, they just said "Do it." and you couldn't refuse. Also nobody had to worry about anyone fathering potato children since if it happened, it would all be covered up as a state secret.

Sweden yes!

western jutland

try read my post before replying. alcohol contains calories which if you consume too much you gain weight which leads to a higher bmi

However, people drank like a fish in the 50s and way fewer fatties existed back then.

do people swim there during summer? must be very cold

Seething

The Depression and WWII did some really bad things as far as increasing the government's power and ability to do whatever the fuck they wanted.

>try read my post before replying. alcohol contains calories which if you consume too much you gain weight
No I know. I don't understand how you can justify drawing that conclusion though when we know alcoholism was rampant and that modern food became more and more riddled with sugar and fats in the US.

Did you know that smoking can cause sperm problems? Did you also know that the world population was drastically lowered to about one third in the 1300s? I guess they were all smokers!

yes, surfing is popular too because of the big waves. if you want warmer water you need to swim in the fjords but beaches aren't as good there

Many neighborhoods wouldn't permit blacks and Jews to live in them until the late 60s. The idea of electing a Catholic president was controversial and entertainers with Jewish or Eastern European-sounding names had to Anglicize them.

Leaded gasoline...oh god, the awful stuff it did for a good 30 years.

dumbass it was sarcastic. his reason for not liking the 1950's or so was because they smoked or drank a lot, as if we aren't as or even more unhealthy today.

People in America back then drank way more than they do today, but it was pretty much exclusively hard liquor, and more or less straight. Or so said a bunch of my older professors. Functioning alcoholism was not *that* bad. As long as you made money and didn't get sloppy.

But again this was word of mouth and general chit chat. And from living here all my life many older people, who are still alive REALLY REALLY REALLY have that "walk softly but carry a big stick attitude".

Or more accurately, "don't fuck with me and we'll be good friends"

Wine wasn't a big thing in the 50s except among ethnic communities; it didn't become mainstream until the 70s when yuppies found out about it. Otherwise, today most of the sugar-laced drinks you find are stuff aimed at women who essentially want a soft drink with alcohol in it.

If you look at alcohol ads from the 50s like , it was mostly beer and liquor, reflecting the country's predominately northern European heritage.

>his reason for not liking the 1950's or so was because they smoked or drank a lot, as if we aren't as or even more unhealthy today.
You really think people were more fit back then with the limited health care and dietary knowledge they have today? Disability and chronic health conditions were more common at a younger age in those days. Today most of that has been pushed to the elderly age bracket.

Unironically this.
And in my country everyone had cash.

WASP influence started the decline after '29 crack.
