Actually for the average citizen it really is.

Plus 1950's America was the strongest nation in the world at the time, so there's that. I mean, king of the world AND filled with happy families? I'd consider that peak civilization.

Don't diminish the value of strong families. Shitty childhoods are strongly correlated with poverty and a tendency for violence in adulthood. It's very much a vicious cycle.

Just look at the state of black Americans. They have been victims to this cycle for a few generations now and their culture is totally dysfunctional. Rampant poverty, violence and broken families.

Strong family values are average when looked at in the grand scope of history. It's only recently that family ties have begun to shrink - you guys have such a romantic narrow view fixated on this thing, most likely because it's the last, most recent good times that has happened in our century.

I'm just curious as to the fixation on these seemingly average qualities when compared throughout time. Women need to get back on the leash, yes, but 1950s isn't the only time to do these kinds of things.

That's absolutely true. Every expansion of the welfare state arises out of the same conditions.

>Free market innovation creates an explosion in prosperity

>Rinse and repeat.

>>80428399
Its right now. People live longer, eat better, have access to unprecedented amounts of stuff, and have art for all tastes.The reason it does not seem like that is because money is becoming tight and the economic institutions that kept the american middle class employed and with money in their pockets have been systematically destroyed.

tl;dr: Things are great, you are just poor.

Dude, we were already gone in the 1950s. Do you think the kids of the sexual revolution just appeared out of a magician's hat? They were the progeny of their soulless, materialistic parents.

The US was already well subverted by the 1950s. This was a fact recognized by Leo Strauss and Sayyid Qutb at the time. When you post these pictures, you should understand that you're looking at the first generation of Americans who believed they could just live for pleasure and buy happiness.

We've been in a death spiral ever since.

No that is the collectivist mindset. It's certainly a short term solution but it really just restarts the cycle of civilization. We must build a true capitalist society and outcompete the leftists for resources. Only then can we secure a civilization free of institutional power for leftists to seize

The mid-50s was when the creatures who fled Europe for America in the 30s and 40s began exerting their Marxist retardation onto our populace. The mid-60s is when it began to take hold of young peoples' minds. This is easily traceable by observing immigration records and pop culture.

The system is collapsing. If it's not obvious to you yet it will be in the future. Historically, the average lifespan of empires is ~250 years, with the last stage being decadence. The United States just so happens to be bankrupt and decadent at 238 years. We are rapidly approaching a paradigm shift. It's very naive to assume things will stay the same forever. It's hard to predict what's next but my fingers are crossed that we dump democracy. It's been a shit system every time it's been tried in history.

Also it's not Scotsman to point out that Americans has strayed very far from it's individualist origins. That's objective fact.

Wrong. Keynesianism was first implemented by Hoover as a response to the Great Depression. FDR went balls deep with it and dragged the depression out another decade. After WWII the government rolled back a shit load regulation and taxes and we boomed like a motherfucker. 1965 was when progressivism took over the United States. It's been more or less downhill ever since

What did bongs do after WWII? Oh yeah that's right you guys didn't roll back state control on the economy and GB was shit well into the 80s. You guys had to invent punk rock just to express how shitty your lives were.

Might I add that the losers of WWII, Germany and Japan, recovered much quicker than GB post WWII and became the second and third biggest economies in the world within a decade or so. Those countries were ducking devastated. Japan had two cities vaporized for Christ sake. And they still did much better than GB who won the war. How did they manage this? It's because they had their governments destroyed. The United States rebuilt them as free market economies, free from the previous state controls
