was 50s America the peak of human civilization? What went wrong?

>>14169
no

>>14169
How would one measure a level of civilisation or decide when it has peaked?

>>14169
By "peak", you mean constant nuclear war and commie paranoia, then yes.

In the 50's you had a progressive supreme court making anti-constitutional sweeping judgements

It wasn't a good time

Hell no, there is absolutely no foundation whatsoever behind the blind worship of the decade.

I blame the blacks.

Humanity was a mistake

After the Civil Rights Movement that's when blacks were invited into Main Stream Media, and bringing in Black Culture, so mainly it's the blacks. Not trying to be racist, just facts.

The world died on April 30, 1945.

Anyone who actually lived through the 50's would tell you that it wasn't.

My Great Granddad always used to tell me "when someone talks about the good old days and going back to them you should ignore them, those days were never good". He was born in the 1920s.
