We’re supposed to believe that post-WW2 America was a scene of soul-crushing uniformity, misogyny, and racism. But I fail to see how today’s “liberated” society is any better.

As someone (Margaret Thatcher?) said, capitalism results in the uneven distribution of wealth. Socialism results in the even distribution of misery.

Too few Americans are qualified for the jobs available At the wages being offered.

Wage stagnation and unbridled immigration have destroyed the working/middle class.

Christianity is being attacked world-wide. None of us should be surprised by the attack. Satan has always been attacking Christianity. It’s just that there are so many of Satan’s soldiers at work, and the instant media keeps us informed of Satan’s progress.

Rock n Roll, pomo beatnik poetry, and beatniks all came into being in the ‘50s. So did beebop and cool jazz. Even the civil rights movement started in the ‘50s. Today’s “liberated” society is much more uniform, because now there are thugs threatening any dissenters. In the ‘50s you had Joe McCarthy, but he mostly messed with movie stars, government officials, and writers. Now it’s exactly those types that are looking on and smiling while anti-fa assaults even old men and little girls in MAGA hats.

“The country is like a drunkard who will not stop abusing himself until he finally crashes, hits bottom, and finally reforms or he takes the weak willed route and allows his addiction to kill him. Yes, this country could reform, but does it have the will to do so?”

Beautifully stated and absolutely true. Applies to the whole Western Hemisphere. A suicide march.

Perhaps the best tv show to feature this was the original Twilight Zone.
