Because acid and weed were legal in those glorious days. Also there wasn't any AIDS and shit like this.

Think about it man, it was 20 years after the end of the biggest war the world had ever seen THAT AMERICA WON! FUCK YEAH!!! By this time the spoils of war had truly taken effect and America had properly found its feet manufacturing, farming and making money by the absolute shit ton. The status quo was just right, the middle classes were growing and they could enjoy pretty much any modern convenience that they wished for. The US president was the king of the world and the US army the "best in the world". Everything was just in the right balance for the US to be "so much fucking better than today"

Since then the rest of the world has caught up, the US has gotten into some shit it shouldn't have, capitalism has reached peak oil in more ways than one and the country is past its prime. It won't be long now until WWIII breaks out, a different country will win it this time and the world order will finally be re-written.

You're not seeing the big picture. Something caused feminism to happen.

>>675785850
Because humans are naturally conditioned to look at the past with fondness. The golden age of yesteryear. The garden of Eden when things were good and simple. Every age has done since the very beginning. And they'll look at today in the same way years from now. The world has never been better, every year it gets better and every year people think it gets worse. It's all a mentality that humans have had since their origins.

That's some serious tinfoil right there. If you actually believe shit like that, you should really ask yourself some more personal questions - like why are you so paranoid that a quack theory and junk science is the only reasonable answer?

Land vs crowded cities and military-industrial complex vs communism aren't things that created overpopulation. Overpopulation wasn't intentional, it was simply the result of having the available resources to support more people, that and improved medicine (less death during childbirth) and those new larger generations following the same curve. It was perfectly natural result, an inevitability, of the current environmental conditions.

I won't argue against that because it might very well be true, but overpopulation does not mean "people crowded into cities and overflowing into the oceans".

It means having more people than government, economy, private industry, medicinal services, municipal services, police and just plain resources in general can sustain. Overpopulation requires more of everything, including government or the shit turns into India. The writing's on the wall and plain to see man.

America's chronic labor shortage ended in the 1970's, so there was more upward pressure on wages and the possibility of a huge middle-class within a capitalist system.

Just sayin that some form of government is essential. A quick look around the world today and you see what happens without some sort of govt system. The middle-east, africa, and just about everything history points to warlords and landgrabs, all battling for resources. That's all that was is - leaders and groups who strive to access more resources for the people they "serve". And grab some land and sustain their own power while they're at it.

>>675797318

No they really were, I don't know where you're getting your information from but much of what we're seeing manifest itself today finds it's roots in berkley during the 60s, it merely took time to become the overwhelming force it has become today as society swung further left over time due to a consistent push to insist that it was both inevitable and a good thing, which it obviously wasn't too any thinking person but sadly the majority of people do not take the future or the necessity of protecting it into account.

I would agree that what is being done with the big government right now is a huge waste of time, money, resources, and lives.
On the other hand, how else do you maintain a quality of life for 300 Million people? All of those things I mentioned above are necessary, I don't want to post the stupid copypasta "This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. blah blah blah" but there's some truth to it. Services are required simply to prevent you from falling down into a third world, there's some states in the south that look like they're already there.

Don't take away more than 70% of their income through income, property, sales, and other tax
(granted, Obama wouldn't be able to serve roast duck to President Xi Ping Pong or invade a
country about which 250 million of us know nothing). They wouldn't have to work as
wagecucks for their whole day, and they could produce something with their hands for their
families, and even trade in their communities.

>>675799972
Well I agree that the government has been a thief for the last 40 years but that still doesn't change the need for actual services that maintain a population.

>>675800401

Yeah, I do agree that some services are necessary. I'm just not sure we could easily reach
the point in population numbers at which necessary services couldn't be provided adequately.

Because the subhumans (women and niggers) knew their place back then.

>>675800401
>>675800715

I think that waste and over-reach have given us the illusion that we're in trouble because of
population. If we trimmed a lot of fat, and made the government look something more like what it did a 150 years ago (give or take, obviously), we'd be in decent shape (eventually).

I'd kind of agree, Japan is overpopulated as fuck, with 125 million, about the size of California and they manage OK but they import nearly all raw materials but export a huge amount of finished product, it's a different type of economy and they're literally ass housing and industry. Hell their land is completely stripped of anything useful. The US has a tremendous amount of available natural resources but the price that Americans get paid (union, politic and contract issues) means it's frequently cheaper to buy them elsewhere... fucked up but true. America has some money shit to figure out for sure, when outsourcing or moving to another country is a perfectly viable option for an American company and buying foreign products is a viable option for the average consumer - well that's when you KNOW shit is fucked up. Are Union Americans getting paid too much or are corporations charging too much? Or both?

all the world's problems are solved by eliminating all Jews!

Minorities new there place and were kept in line by lynchings and the police.

Women new there place and were kept in line with beatings

You could get away with being a pedo.

Muslims were less radical.

Globalisation hadn't raped the lower classes and the economy.

The new generations wasn't pandered to and spoilt.

Traditional family values segregation of shitskins and people feverishly attacking anything remotly socialist.

Literally everything today's society doesn't allow for.

It was only better for white men, and that's because of extreme racism and sexism.

oh hell naw, no ecto cooler, no vidayogames

Niggers had their own water fountains, neighborhoods, schools, etc.
Then civil rights reared its ugly head and society had to integrate with filthy coons. Once the niggers got a glimpse of how well the white peoples lived, they wanted a piece of the pie. When the niggers realized they couldn't achieve what whites could, they demanded "reparations" and government handouts.
What you see today is the result of the civil rights movement

why are you asking 13 year old cucks this question

>>675785850
ideological warfare inspired the best of themselves to show the world that communism sucks.
Now the threat has subsided it turned into a plutocracy where the poor worship the rich instead of making easier for everyone to be wealthier you worship people that hoard all the wealth by gaming the system and aspire to one day be able to game the system and pull the ladder from under you.

I think union pay could survive if we did something as small as stopped being the military
of the world. You know all those socialist paradise countries in Europe? They couldn't
do that if they had to fund their own protection. Think of what we could do with all that cash --
actually, what we could do if we hadn't given all that cash, basically, to other countries.

That hoop looks pretty tits, anon. Sayin' they didn't have shit...

Only if you're straight, white and a man.
Not really a problem for me.
