Would you want to live in America during it's golden age?
It's unrecognizable from today, but trust me, it existed once. Apparently it was really nice too.
;_;
Which golden age? The late 1800s-early 1900s, the post-WWII period, or the 80s-90s?
there were no memes back then so no

I still live those times, friend.
Nah, you'd still be a NEET loser in 1955.

The greater irony is that in the 50s, you had writers like Henry Miller (in his books The Air Conditioned Nightmare and Sunday After the War) decrying the present state of America as a commercialized, plasticized wasteland.

>Wear greaser clothes
>work in manufacturing in plant/office that hasn't changed since the 50's (still use typewriters and such)
>have girlfriend who is anti-feminist
Life is good.

The true sign of a fag is wanting to live in another time period
If you lived in the 50's you would still be an unhappy loser

When the U.S. were sexually and politically repressed and we needed constant SCOTUS rulings to reaffirm our basic Constitutional rights? When the NRA fought for gun control and the Hays Code dominated cinema?
The only really good thing about that era was the economy, and whenever somebody tries to recreate those conditions, they're branded as "le tumbler essjaydubya kuck"

You do know that the US wasn't actually like how Leave It to Beaver portrayed it, right? This is a generation where almost no one knew FDR was a cripple because the media didn't show it and you really think their entertainment is going to give an accurate picture of life in the country?
Ah, the mid-20th century. That strange fluke period when Americans turned into statists who believed all that the government and corporations told them without question. After 1965, things started returning to normal.
Fuck no. Whites were bigger insufferable faggots back then
Don't kid yourself. The time you were born barely matters in terms of your happiness. That being said, I wish I was born in the 20s

Not to mention that the McCarthyist U.S. and de-Stanlinized U.S.S.R. weren't all that different in terms of political repression.

Old america is to much of a shit hole to many serial killers and not good enough technology to catch them.
I wish I was born in the 1870s or 80s tbqgh lads

It was the golden age of big government socialist planning.
This IBM ad from the 50s comes off as almost creepily Orwellian and actually doesn't seem far removed from Soviet posters urging the masses to exceed their factory production quotas.
"Thousands of IBM Electronic Business Machines, vital to our nation's defense, are at work for science, industry, and the armed forces, in laboratories, factories, and offices, helping to meet urgent demands for greater production."
