They did, but their powers were subtle and were in more of a regeneration phase.

Notice brutalism (architecture) popped up much more around the 1950's and 1960's as well as more Jews just getting into education.

Essentially, they were just starting their bullshit on the public, and it hadn't taken much effect at the time. Rockwell, however, saw it in advance and took action, resulting in his assassination.

But remember, my friend. Socialism only works in a smaller population that is rather homogenous. The USA was predominantly white, and the population wasn't as high as it is today.

This is why socialism worked in Scandinavia prior to their open border policies.

Last I saw "military brass" are still humans who should know better, and probably also frequented said brothels and got syphilis. THEY WERE ALL WARNED BY PEOPLE WHO KNEW BETTER.

about half the current population

average people able to buy all the new cool shit WW2 and the early Cold War had created

men worked to provide for their families which were typically made up of a wife that took care of the home, a son that was either an athlete or future literal rocket scientist, a daughter that was learning how to do what mom does, and a dog

there wasn't a big system of major roadways, it took over a month to drive from the east to west coast

Yet somehow I feel happiness isn't as high as it was in ages past. There's too much expectation and competition. Facebook competes people against one another. Your kids are never going to be as good as someone elses kids. If you manage to reach your dream you'll just create a new one, and a new one and never truly be satisfied.

I dunno, I mean I'm fairly content most of the time, but I feel having been born in a prior generation I may have had a better life.

My grandmother still laments the influx of blacks into her old neighborhood. She and her husband never smoked, though most of their friends did. She managed to be a stay at home mother only part of the time..

It was a great time if you had money. If you didn't have money, then there was a good chance that you wouldn't be able to reach your potential at a university, but there were still amazing jobs for the high school educated, and coverage was quite good for a long time (until perhaps the mid 80s into the 90s--not exactly sure on that point).

If there was less greed and manipulation of the market involved, social programs would have gradually increased over time to cover more of the country and more people who deserved it would've been able to go to college while limiting the number of useless students. Unfortunately, most of the jobs went to shit, and today we accept working harder for less money and less coverage, and there is less and less room for a high school educated person to make ends meet, especially if he wants a family. Due to the ease of getting loans, and diversity quotas, more and more people are shitting up the university system and it's not working as it should.

People knew a lot less about politics and history then. Getting information was a lot slower and there were fewer sources, mainly the library. If you were smart, though, and took the time to read, you could find plenty of information and talk circles around vapid housewives and male worker drones.

Sure, there was less medical knowledge and it was tougher for people who couldn't work or make enough money to realize their potential, and people were often less informed than they are now, doesn't mean it was a bad time period.

As a setup for the information age, it could've been a lot worse. It could've been India or China or somewhere like that.

Fun fact: Irish/Italian distrust still existed to an extent past the first half of the 20th century. My dad experienced some of it firsthand.

Birth of suburbia was a bit of a blunder to.

I ran out of space to mention this. Women used to walk babies in strollers at 8 pm(!) in areas in which such an act would be suicidal today (literally because of blacks shitting up the area and the virtuous whites leaving the white trash behind with nobody to keep them in line) while neighbors sat on their porches and chatted while they watched the kids play.

Families without money tended to make the children work and made sure they got an adult job as soon as they got out of high school.

The Hippie movement was way, way overblown. The only reason it feels like it was this giant, cultural bomb is because they all went into the media because they were given jobs by the jews and were comfortable with being degenerate as fuck on camera. This is why you see them everywhere now and they make it seem like millions and millions of hippies were out there and their movement was amazing.

There were only approximately 200-250,000 actual hippies in America in 1968 (the height of the movement). Meaning those that "dropped-out" of society (maaaaaaaannnnn). It's been estimated that there were approximately another 200-250,000 "weekend hippies" who went to high school, college, or worked day jobs, and participated in the "hippie culture" on the weekends.

Now the baby boom generation is being sold their "hippie revolution" back to them in the form of flowers imprinted into the dashboards of modern Volkswagens.

Shameful, desu.

I've actually been trying to figure out what life was like for blacks during segregation. While they obviously didn't have the same rights as white people, they seemed to have a higher standard of living, had social contact with whites and acted somewhat civilized.
However, it's impossible to find accurate information today, because of the obvious political bias that can only portray the segregation era as something horrible. Of course no one is going to say they had it better back then, because of the enormous political backlash that would follow.
I've had the same problem when researching slavery, trying to find information on slave owners who treated their slaves well.
It's not so much an attempt at excusing slavery and segretation, as it is trying to find out the truth and get a more balanced view of the era.
