One time I went on /r9k/ and this 55 year old NEET posted a picture of his backpack in his closet. Said he hadn't touched it since his last day of high school. Never went to college or had a job since then. He said before the internet and videogames he just went to the woods all day and dug up beehives or something like that. Depressing as hell.

You should watch Boardwalk Empire. It's obviously historical-ish, but there's plenty of great stuff and it's obviously well studied.

Plus boobies, music, and amazing fashion.

Why not read a book, though?

Women got the vote and everything went to hell.

1. income taxes.
2. foreign intervention
3. federal reserve
4. alcohol prohibition
5. national firearms act
6. great depression
7. that socialist cripple FDR

Among "artistes." the "er" spelling refers to the building, the "re" spelling to the art form.

Pronouncing it with the "a" long indicates you are from a rural background.

Women suffrage, prohibition and the income tax appearing together was not coincidental. To pass prohibition at the state level, and later to ratify the amendment, drys needed women to vote, since women, much more than men, supported prohibition. Though women were not allowed to vote in national elections in time to help pass the Prohibition Amendment, they WERE voting in numerous states by then, and electing legislators to support ratification, and congressmen to push the amendment in DC.

Meanwhile, the drys needed to somehow replace the huge revenue stream represented by the excise tax on liquor. Hence the income tax. The DuPonts. and other very rich men, who opposed prohibition and funded repeal efforts were not doing so just because they were thirsty -- they resented the Hell out of having to hand some of their income over to the government. In the event, Prohibition was repealed but the income tax left in place -- must have pissed them off to no end,. but a good lesson for all of us -- a government power, once accepted, is damn hard to take back.

Degenerate scum.

Masculine women, Feminine men
Which is the rooster, which is the hen?
It's hard to tell 'em apart today! And, say!
Sister is busy learning to shave,
Brother just loves his permanent wave,
It's hard to tell 'em apart today! Hey, hey!
Girls were girls and boys were boys when I was a tot,
Now we don't know who is who, or even what's what!
Knickers and trousers, baggy and wide,
Nobody knows who's walking inside,
Those masculine women and feminine men

To be honest, you probably masturbate to 1950's cold war propaganda.

I like your style of writing and wish there were more commentaries like yours on this board. I think (hope) that's what most people look for as well. Not simplistic "x is this, y is that, then this happened" but a comprehensive analysis with a personal touch to give it some vitality.
