They were made like that. After WW2 the american dream was born. It included owning your own house. So what they did was make cheap cookie cutter homes at a massive scale. Almost all homes from that era were what you see in the pic. I work on homes and they are all the same inside usually but everyother home is flipped.

And they destroyed their families, their heritage, their traditions and their future on the way. But how do you save a society which doesn't want to be saved? Which pretends, everything was alright and just fine. Thousands of years of heritage are at stake...and so many people have...not the slightest clue. I wonder, if those Romans in the last decades of their Empire who knew what was coming felt the same way.

This. Smart phones gave the unintelligent masses an outlet to disseminate their idiotic views & have them validated by other equally stupid people

The Internet allows access to more information and knowledge to the average man than in any time in human history, and yet most end up spending their time wasted on social-media sites and watching stupid videos, or consuming endless amounts of pornography and videogames

Most of the prosperity was still limited to the middle class. The working class certainly had it better than they do today thanks to full employment policies and a solid industrial base, but in the grand scheme of things, they didn't benefit hugely, and it was a short lived illusion for many of them.

Top kek, you were just riding the artificial era of prosperity creataed by wwII-FDR.

Americans fail to understand that 50s was an exception not the norm. It was brutal capitalism before and it became brutal capitalism afterwards, with decreasing purchase power, shrinking middle class, massive of poor with few sprinkles of rich. Now that is the state of the wordl and that WAS the state of the world, having a blue collar job and being able afford a house-a car,2.3 kids and retire in peace was not.

50's will never come back, I'll not say it'll get worse but you should be happy with what you got because it probably will.

No, only pople in movies talked like that. It was a completely manufactured accent, and it was only found in Hollwood. And only during filming.
No one in society actually had that accent.

That is something I have noticed. Working class whites tend to try and make the most out of what they have. They take care of their stuff and the area they live in. Sure they don't have the nicest or newest cars, but they work and are taken care of. Their houses may be old, but they keep the lawn mowed and try to repair what they can and keep the trim nice. Sure there are exceptions, but take a drive through a working class suburb and I'm sure you'll see the same thing.
Hell, when whites move into a black neighborhood, the blacks get upset and complain about "gentrification." All that is is whites making the area suitable for human life and habitation.
Besides, whites like to build shit.

Right there.
Right in your pic - you Americans invented celebrity culture, worshipping people who were just people, pretending they were gods because they had more money than you. Actually, like the British forebearers you rejected, believing that people with more money were better people than you.
You created a culture designed to belittle the population, and once the 1980's came, you gave it full reign and elected Ronald Reagan, a fake conservative Hollywood actor who grew government bigger than anyone before or since.
By the 2000's celebrity culture had infected every level of American society. Suddenly Kim Kardashian was invited to the Met Gala instead of Manhattan's relatively anonymous upper-class patrons of the arts. And even serious newspapers were writing about what happened on fucking TV shows and new Apple products, as if the shit was newsworthy.

MFW that's what happened, m80.
You forgot about substance, and started living only for the superficial.

It's real. It was mostly used by the upper class. While it was a somewhat artificial dialect, that doesn't mean it wasn't real or in widespread use among certain groups of people.

These kinds of dialects exist in many countries, including my own. I know of several upper class dialects both in my own city and in the capital. They sound like the local dialect, but avoid the heavy accent and slang, and use grammar from something called "riksmål", which is a refined version of our official written language, which is called "bokmål".
It still exists, but isn't nearly as common as it used to be. It was primarily spoken politicians, actors, royalty and the upper class.

I think it's safe to say there's no turning back from the way we're headed. As other people stated in this thread, you can thank the internet and social media for that. Everyone grew up with computers that could give them instant gratification. This shit carried over into real life and now everyone just does what will make them feel good the fastest.

I can't say I'm not guilty of this. I do drugs of all kinds, I drink, I love one-night stands, I play vidya, and spend a huge amount of time on social media. So technically I'm part of the problem. But I at least desire to go back to time that were much simpler. Much less ... Degenerate, even if it means I wouldn't have as much "fun".

I noticed that too. There's all that meat, but everyone looks so thin. Of course, it wasn't until the 1970s that a heavily bread, pasta and grain based diet was pushed while animal fat was demonized. And only then did we get fat.

I have relatives who own small farms where they still live pretty much like they did 60-70 years ago. They cook everything in lard, eat tons of meat and dairy and eat all parts of the animals except the bones, and while I don't know what their cholesterol is like, they're not fat.

>>74910006
I don't think you had to do any of those things. The "fetish" for the 1950s has more to do with the fact that family, home, job and pride in those things were something you could work for and devote yourself to and it was something that commanded respect. Today, it is still expected on some level (you may even take heat for not wanting to take care of another man's kids) but something that no matter what, you will be spat on for and maybe eaten alive (with taxes at least, alimony and child support at worst) while society holds up the bitter mentally ill lesbian, the criminal nigger and the single mom with 5 kids by as many fathers as its heroes.
