[quote:Anonymous Coward 15320663:MV8zNTU2ODUwXzYzNTQ3NjM4XzFENkNFNjdB] My mom was 10-20 during that decade. When Happy Days was a popular show I remember her telling me all the nostalgia was sugar coating the reality of things like the Polio epidemic which was traumatizing for the Nation. The Air Raid drills where the kids were taught to hide under desks. She said it wasn't that simple. Our culture has been shaped by the powers that be - probably since the industrial age - definitely since the early 20th Century. The thing is - people want to blame individuals for things like the loss of traditional family and mom's staying home - its the PTB we should focus our anger on - not the now standard 2 working adults households - you see they figured out they could tax both adults and trap all of us in consumer culture. Watch an learn how they have controlled and programmed us - [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s[/youtube] [/quote]

Stifling authoritarianism
Soul-crushing conformity
Wife-beating assholes weren't jailed
Women were stopped from having careers
Husbands told their wives how to vote
Kids were "raised" by beating them into submission
Negros were systematically oppressed by the white establishment
If you love the things that characterize 1950s, you are a goddamn disgrace.
