You actually can. The 50's would be a great time to be alive if you were a straight white guy. For everyone else it pretty much sucked. Hell, even you would live in constant paranoia about communist infiltrators, build a bomb shelter out of fear of nuclear armageddon, and get drafted to get shot by the Chinese on some hill in Korea. The 50's fucking blew in every aspect except the economy, it's only idealized by people who are either ignorant of history or are white dudes who don't have any compassion for the suffering of others.

Ethics is a guide of life, it doesn't deal only with "not harming others". Smoking crack does not hurt others directly. It still is not a good idea to smoke crack. If an ethics system says that "there is nothing wrong with smoking crack", this ethics system is useless.
Hedonism (in the frat boy sense) hurts the hedonist themselves and at the same time makes them worse people.

And even from the point of "harming others" when people become worse, it harms society. See single mothers.

That a majority of women are being forced into positions they're not comfortable with due to peer pressure originating from a minority of women who themselves are in it due to a bitter grudge towards the other sex.

Women today are miserable. They're expected to work long hours they're not fit for. They're expected to get drunk, to fuck, to sodomize, to act, to be strong, to be manly, to be ever ambitious.

And when women fail at these, the whiny minority of women will go back to blaming it on men culture further pushing the majority women onwards to their inevitable misery.

The question is for who. Consider this: "man, that period after the Arab Conquests would've been a great time to live with the economic prosperity and all!"

Now, assuming you're not already a Muslim and would have issues converting at all, do you still feel the same way? Your acquaintance was just pointing out that what's implicit in your statement is that the period after the war would've been a great time to live (for you). Even then, all you're doing is arbitrarily deciding that you, for whatever reason, would have been a part of this prosperity even though that's no guarantee. Instead of imagining yourself in a cozy house with a white picket fence, a nice car, and a stepford wife, try and imagine yourself looking at all of this through the open window of your shanty home a few blocks away.

I never said that.

And if mere motivation is enough to call someone a "victim" of something (you can readily see the difference of meaning between "victim of [motivation]" and "victim of robbery, rape, ..."), then every opinion has made victims, and every opinion with many followers has made many victims.

As long as the motivation is incidental (not directly involved in the opinion in a "kill the kuffar" way) this is a not a serious argument.

For Jim the owner of a car dealership, for whom business is booming, he has a stable family, and owns a home, it's great.

For Steve, who died in the Korean War, and never went back to his wife, it's not so great.

For Xing, the tenant farmer in Sichuan who enlisted in the Red Army and can now give himself a good life, the 50s are great.

For Jun, the landowner who was dispossessed of the land his family have owned for centuries, and is starving in a hovel due to collectivized farming, it's terrible.

You could go on like this for hours. The point is that, like all events and time periods, it was a great time FOR SOME PEOPLE, a terrible time FOR SOME OTHER PEOPLE, and somewhere in between FOR MOST PEOPLE.

I disagree, since cumulative amount of victims can be bad for society. Racism itself isn't inherently bad, but the effects of it are. Creating a lower class of people injects society with an element of unrest which makes it less stable. That's the short version.

So racism, in the long run, is extremely destructive for a society and is furthermore often associated with a lack of intelligence and empathy. Two character flaws which most would consider bad.
>>
>>1870450
And hedonism is better because?

>>1870450
That's not a very convincing view.

>Racism itself isn't inherently bad, but the effects of it are.
We are entering shaky grounds, condemning things for remote effects when there is often no way to assert what caused what. Besides, the bad effect you put forth is
>Creating a lower class of people injects society with an element of unrest which makes it less stable.
The assertion itself is debatable. In fact socialists could replace racism with property or inheritance and use the same trail to promote socialism.
The argument also assumes as some sort of strong restriction that there is a lower class in a given society, which is a very specific form of racism. Most "racists" as the term is understood ITT (began by talking of the 50s) want some form of segregation far more than subjection.

>is extremely destructive for a society
Many cultures have lasted centuries being racist, and some are still lasting being racist, like Japan
.
>is furthermore often associated with a lack of intelligence and empathy
And they were brilliant cultures. Some of them I definitely consider better than what I live in now. Anti-racism being the current norm has caused that it is mostly people on margins that openly show it. This is no argument against the Grand Siecle in France or the British Victorians or the Spanish Golden Age, all of them racist.

I'm dismissing your other points because you're ignoring to many aspects. That racism is a detriment to increased productivity and longevity is not up for debate.

> That racism is a detriment to increased productivity and longevity is not up for debate
Even if it weren't (which is extremely dubious) it wouldn't be a compelling argument without the accompanying assumption that "increased productivity" is an all encompassing goal.

As for your argument, it could be framed better.
Imagine group A has ability for activity X, and group B ability for activity Y. Let's say group A and B have the same number of people.

An investor looking preferentially for A people for X (devoting, say, 80% of his attention to A possibilities and 20% on Bs) and B people for Y (which is literally racist/sexist/whateverist) has very little chance of seeing decreased productivity from his pattern of assumptions and preferences, even if he so happens to miss a B candidate that is good at X or to have less chances to notice him.

In a production lien, it may be better to keep manufacturing process A for a product even though B can give some good results too.

It is edgy when talking about people this way, but this is just to respond to the argument.

Very well, pick another goal and we can argue that point of view. I assume Well Being could be another goal, in which case racism is detriment again.


Furthermore your example has nothing to do with racism, so I fail to see how it applies. When people employ someone, they tend to look at their credentials and references, not the color of their skin (and if they don't, they're idiots who shouldn't run a business).

You lack any ability to critically think. You've experienced a single example of prejudice and can't even look at the big picture of a whole society who would act like that Jew that denied you a job based on ethnicity.

There is no magic formula for well being.
If Aziz ben Youssef doesn't want infidels, that's taken into account in his well being, and he will minimize his dealings with infidels. It never needs to be drastic. He may only have a train of preference for dealing with other Muhammadans, as is at least what is inscribed in the sharia.

nah. Businesses should be allowed to do that. However they get to deal with the ramifications. People might boycott the business due to what they see as unfair business practices, this would include minorities AND a lot white people. A business that wants to be successful wouldn't shut itself off from those customers, businesses that did so would fail. In addition, any successful business would simply hire the best people for the job. If they find a black guy who is a whole lot better at something than all the white guys that applied, they'll take the black guy.

Yeah because the free market really changed the South from being a openly racist shithole. Oh wait, no that was the federal government that had to force them to treat all citizens equally. Even then the resisted up until the 80s.

So economic prosperity is more important than basic civil liberties? Great, how about I take away your right to vote and you can't use hotels or have good seats on public transit or be served in most restaurants anymore. I mean you get to keep your job, but that's about it. Since economic prosperity is everything I'm sure you won't be upset at all.

I doubt it, you will very quickly summon vague generalities like friendship or health.

Given all possibilities, a man acts on what he truly prefers. This is his empirical preference, as opposed to whatever conflicts he may set up in his mind.

If a man truly had option one, getting another involved in his life, and option two, not getting him involved, and chose option two, that is his empirical preference. that is what he actually leans towards.

When he acts, what are you going to say? That he prefers "unhappiness"? Would that change anything?

What a retarded line, you deserved to get laughed at for that.

The fact of the matter is, ignoring all the shit about racism and sexism, right now is the best time to live. The most advanced technology, the most advanced medicine, the most widespread peace, the lowest rates of violent crime overall (in the west at least), the most variety in consumer/luxury goods, the most freedom of movement, I could keep going.

Anyone who seriously wants to live in the past has a major case of rose tinted glasses and is ignoring just how lucky we are to live in this era. The present and future will continue to be better than the past unless we go through some kind of doomsday scenario.

Also, with mandatory aspects lifted, you would have the possibility of taking blacks in, not the obligation, which is just another mandatory restriction.

See, there's your problem, wouldn't have "NEEDED" federal law given enough time.
As explained here >>1871036 businesses were serving black people because hey, it made money! People's attitudes were changing. Businesses that served black AND white people MADE MORE MONEY. This means they STAY IN BUSINESS. Businesses that catered to an increasingly small amount of true racists would find their customer base dwindling fast, and then fail if they did not make changes.

You aren't getting that people want money. If someone doesn't want my money because of my skin color, fine, why should I give a fuck? There's a million other people who I can give it to and will be happy to take it. The system of "racist businesses" fails on its own either way. Ever heard of natural selection?

>t. believes 50s sitcoms and PSAs were an accurate representation of the time period

I wish people would actually talk to people who were alive during the 1950s. It wasn't repressive, that's just the media image of it, both during that period (since this was the first mass TV generation) and in later years. There was a lot of social deviance, political agitation, crime, etc, it just wasn't reflected in the mass media of the time due to the image the government and large corporations was trying to project, primarily as propaganda against the Soviets and communism.

Dumb comparison. All things being equal of course you'd prefer to have more civil liberties. If you offered a better economy in return for fewer freedoms, plenty of people might consider it. In fact, plenty take that option and vote Democrat.

In any event, the fact is that blacks post civil-rights had the drug war, mass incarceration, the total destruction of the family with a massive increase in the % of births from out-of-wedlock. Before that things were improving rapidly, and the economic gap between blacks and white was shrinking. Post War on Poverty it's never improved.

Okay.

Well, before the 1957 Civil Rights Act, there was essentially no legal response to lynching whatsoever.

State courts were the only courts legally permitted to try murders, and they never convicted anyone for lynching.

Before the 1964 Voting Rights Act, literally every US election was smothered with voter suppression to the point where the polls didn't really mean anything in Southern states.

Before 1977, federal housing policy was to only lend to whites.

Now, I don't think most conservatives are closet segregationists, but I think most of them are unwilling to admit how much they appreciate what the new left accomplished in the 60s.

My main issue with this line of thought is that when we talk about whether it was a good time or not, I don't think positioning modern people as time travelers is the correct approach to take, because we've been raised and educated to have certain expectations of right and wrong that people who were raised in previous times didn't have; they may have been the direct opposite. I'm irreligious, so I myself wouldn't want to go back to any society that persecuted heretical beliefs (most of them prior to the 18th Century), but that doesn't mean I should just dismiss them as bad societies and presume that nobody enjoyed their lives, so long as basic needs like food and shelter were met.

While what >>1873242 says here:
>Meanwhile in reality, a huge amount of American society in the 50s held values that modern Americans find repulsive.

is true (homophobia and racism in particular, although the acceptability of racism was declining), so is the inversion of it: past Americans, and all past people for that matter, would probably be repulsed, or at best extremely confused, by our modern world, unless you are a devout subscriber to Whig history who sees an inexorable march of progress.

Fine, fine. Demolishing the standards and practices -- legal, social, and cultural -- that 90% of your society shared for 90% of its existence is a good thing. See the men in this picture? They were racists, sexists, homophobes, and superstitious churchgoers on top of that. They were BAD PEOPLE. You are GOOD. Men who fuck each other up the ass and get human shit all over themselves in the process are GOOD. Turning places like Portland (Maine) and Hamtramck into Muslim colonies is GOOD. The only reason the men in this picture would find the society you've constructed is because it is DIFFERENT. Everything is relative. And you are smarter, more moral, and more highly developed than all of your ancestors combined.

To be fair if you were one of the few people pulling the 'whites only' crap at this time, you would probably have made a decent amount of money for a time since the majority of racist people would come to you.

However if they were left alone, leaving more and more businesses to exclude black people, then they would start to lose money overall.

Exclusion only kind of works if you're the only one doing it. If everyone is doing it then you're not getting more white people at your shop, you're getting the same amount as before, minus every potential black customer.

So a theory is that if you just let these things run their course, the 'almighty dollar' will eventually come into play, and the idiots will either go bankrupt or remove their whites only signs

Eh... a couple points OP.

The '50s were pretty racist and sexist, she's got a point. That said, every time period/place has it's issues. The modern US is undoubtedly more islamophobic than Europe or the US was in the '50s. Additionally, that period of post-war prosperity was filled with peace movements, and effectively spawned the civil rights movements.

I think the 50s (in the west) were a pretty good time for someone born in the 30s, but I think most folks alive today (in the west) wouldn't enjoy them very much. I think a person alive in the 50s was probably happier than someone alive today is almost anywhere in the world, it was a time when things were improving. Now is a time when things seem to be stagnating or moving backwards. Hell, if you'd asked me 8 years ago what the solution to racism in America was, I'd say 'Wait for the racists to die, obviously'. Now it's pretty obvious that such things aren't a valid solution. We're entering a time of turbulence where it's becoming clear that the future isn't a constant movement towards progress, but some sort of cycle that's going to have shitty periods. The people in the 50s almost universally had hope that shit was going to get better, looking around seemed to reinforce that view. I envy them that, even though they're generally racist and sexist.

... I know you're probably trolling OP, but honestly a good counterpoint to that sort of thing is 'You don't think things are sexist and racist now? Every time period has issues, we're just less aware of ours.'

Perversion and hedonism go hand in hand to the point where hedonism simply means unrestrained perversion in the eyes of nearly everyone.
Hedonism strongly encourages perversion, and perverts commonly support hedonism.

Those people 1) are the minority in most cultures and 2)are usually fooling themselves regarding their empty lives, and in doing so tempt and poison the communities they dwell in.

That's because only idiots are openly racist due to fear of being a social outcast and losing their job. Do you think Galileo liked Jews? Do you think Leonardo da Vinci stood alone as the only tolerant person in Florence? Do you think Isaac Newton protested against colonialism, that Leipniz thought black people were equal to whites, that Muhammad al-Razi was the one Muslim that thought women were equal to men?

No. Being intelligent doesn't make you less racist, it just makes you more adept at hiding it. I'm pretty much all out "Blacks back to Africa, shitskins back to the desert, Kikes back to some patch of desert barred from all involvement with anything else"-tier racist/anti-Semitic. And how many people know that? Nobody. Not one person in my social circles knows I'm any more rightwing than "We should probably attempt to set up camps in the area to keep refugees contained in the Arabian peninsula, in order to ensure they can safely and quickly return after the conflict".

I've been declined a job at a pet shop for example for being male.
The solution was simple, I walked next door, and got a job there instead.

Was I happy to be denied a job? No, but I'm not entitled to a job there, anymore than I am entitled to a job anywhere. I have to show my value to be a viable candidate. They set a requirement I could not fulfill, so I looked for a place with requirements I can fulfill.

disregarding your other points, id like to take note of one paticular thing you've said:

>if you'd asked me 8 years ago what the solution to racism in America was, I'd say 'Wait for the racists to die, obviously'. Now it's pretty obvious that such things aren't a valid solution.

This thing in paticulatr miffs me. Anyone who thinks there problems will go away on its own is ignorant. Take me for example, im 25 (born in 1991) and im an ethno-realist, which to some people is enough to condemn me as a racist. At this point in my life, i no longer care about petty labels given to me and i activly work to spread my ideals. The only way someone can stop me is to kill me and my wife, who is carrying my child. Incidently, I plan on teaching my child correctly so bam theres another racist running around for a good 80+ years.

Anyway my point is, unless leftists are willing to get there hands dirty again in the risky business of murder, your going to have to deal with it old chum.

>How could I better defend my historical opinion in the future?
The past sucked ass for alot and/or the majority of people, so no place would be bereft of problems. Even now there are all still things that suck. So if everything 'sucked' in one way or another, bad things would be happening to a lot more people. You could also say you asked specifically what it would be like to live then with it's economic prosperity and not about disadvantages. For the sake of your question, those would be irrelevant. Also point out that racism and violence toward minorities was an actual problem, sexism is a meme.

Congratulations on your child.

By the way I am ethno-realist myself and will teach my kids we are superior, genetically. I mean we have at least 7 points of IQ above whites on average.

That's huge, considering IQ is not linear and it's just an average.

Anyway I hope you are Asian too or at least your wife doesn't have a low IQ, I am naturally assuming you have a high one.

It really is a crime what's happening over in Japan, how they don't have any kids.

Don't argue with idiots, simply point out progressive thought such as that is a product of those very same mindsets she hates and freedom to have an opinion.

Her answer might reference evolution, change, or adaptation but those "racist" or "sexist" historical events and times are literally the reason she exists and can express her feelings. Or we can ignore all history and just reference Facebook posts from last year as high literature and blatantly complain about alterior thought.

You could even say in moments of absolute disagreement historically the strongest employment of force and tactical thought has prevailed regardless of someones opinion about history.
>>

Edit** To add on most of those people reference history or other ideas with labels but pull some passive aggressive tier lobbying and pandering for emotional response without confronting anyone physically.

When confronted with physical or actual repercussions they seem to plead ignorance or wipe their hands of wrong doing and implications. The irony is we already know how ignorant they are, they just finally admit it without realizing it themselves.

Alright, imagine if the shop next door wouldn't hire you or the vast majority of shops wouldn't hire you just because you were male. Today, you could just walk to next store and get hired. Yesteryear when idiots got to set highly biased, discriminatory, arbitrary requirements based on their own hate and prejudiceand and on something as miniscule and stupid as race, you could be lucky if anyone hired you. The solution might've been simple for you, in this modern age were there aren't an overwhelming amount of racist retards. But back then their solution was to get derided, take it up the ass or (in the case of Civil Rights) fight back and tell people who thought they were inferior, didn't see them as people or didn't think they rightly deserved an unbised shot at a basic, non demeaning ok paying job, to suck it

If they believed in the retarded concept that someone else was inferior because of their race and that that gave every right for legitimate opportunities to be denied those people, that violence deserved to be done unto them and they had the right to do violence unto them based on prejudice, pseudoscience, hate or all of the above; and believed in hating people for no rational reason, then yes they were bad people.
And on top of that
>churchgoers
hypocrites too.
If you want to pull the whole "support the troops/America" shit or
>legal, social, and cultural -- that 90% of your society shared for 90% of its existence
That just because a lot of people believed in something makes it ok. There are tons of historical events and practices that are proof that a lot of people believing something does not make it ok. And the irony seems to be lost on you that the point in American history this thread is talking about is a glaring example of just that. And those or any other men fighting in a/any war, seen as justified or not, is irrelevant to the fact that if they claimed to want or participate in any of the above: irrational violence towards others; etc. they have lost all right to claim that they are good or at least morally upright people. An even further hypocritical irony is than church goers supporting hatred is that WWII has been labelled a war for "freedom", to liberate foreign peoples for some unjust tyranny (literally Hitler). Ironic again that people fighting for "freedom" would be willing to do so for people they haven't met and don't know, yet leave their countrymen struggling for it.

>There is no sexism at 2016
It's a literal SJW meme now. And at any point in history, including now, when women had it bad men had it equally as bad and the majority of time, worse. Assholes who made life shit for women weren't just doing it to women, they were doing it to everyone. Even now in the case of all violent crime, including sexual crime, men are more at risk than women.
And if you really want to get into sexism; what about women being free to abandon they're 'gender roles' while men are majoritarily expected to be stuck with theirs, quotas which focus on pushing more women into positions over more qualified men; and false ideas like the wage gap myth and other cornerstones of SJW lies about patriarchy that rely on undermining and shitting on men. Sexism goes both ways and consistently been leaning in one direction (hint: not the ones SJW's would have you think). The burden of doing most important shit, fixing shit when it's broken and in the majority of cases when other people 'broke' it, solving everyone else's problems and getting the blame when things foul up even they're not responsible has never failed to lie on men when other peoples shit hits the fan.
