Was it the most aesthetic age?

The scale of the industrial revolution approached the modern yet it was all low-tech, at a level that could be understood at a glance, and they took pride in it all sculpting ornate facades even for mere pump houses and mills. The influx of wealth brought nouveau riche putting on the pretenses of the aristocracy and masses of near-destitute dickensian poor stuffed between the city's infrastructure trying to build a life for themselves, railroads carving their way through rows of brick houses with slate rooves. In a generation they went from regency overcoats and laces to acres of belching chimneys and industrial marvels with meticulously tended to gardens, greenhouses and parks springing up t compensate. Somewhere in the midst of all this a couple made their fortune, saw everything their world had to offer and enjoyed comfy victorian christmases with their children.

>00s: Victorian
>10s: pretty victorian, big progressive movement, war for much of the old world
>20s: decadence and lavish lifestyles
>30s: depression in most senses of the word
>40s: war
>50s: stable but stagnant with conformity and paranoia
>60s: mass social upheaval and the height of the cold war
>70s: probably the most nondescript of all the decades past the 1910s, lots of tech changes
>80s: another decade of excess, cold war grows again
>90s: cold war ends, technology is growing faster than ever
>2000s: rise of world terrorism, birth of social media, economic downturn
>2010s: social media becomes dominant and technology takes over our lives, return of nationalism

Honestly out of all of those I would pick the 90s, it was stable but not in the conformist way of the 50s and had an insane amount of technological advancements.

Holy shit. We are posting on 4chan. Everyone here would have suffered immensly in the 50s.

People sperging here would have been the people ostracized in the 50s. The "normies" would have been Happy in the 50s. Posting on 4chan indicates a strong contrarianism. That was the shit that made your live hell.

And good luck with a time were the negroes and women knew their place. White males also were subjected to hierachies treating them like shit. You basically came home beating your wife because the governenment and your boss treated you like a subhuman before.
>>
>>3168595

One thing for sure is the 2010s are not a time of optimism and bright looking future.

I dunno, the true dehumanization of the masses began with the Industrial age.

People in power treated the population like numbers on a chart beforehand, yeah, but in the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution everything was fucked up. Pollution stained London's trees black, and hundreds of thousands of workers died of black lung and other terrible afflictions brought on by the poisonous fumes of industry.

Luxury while flying still exists, it's called first class

Stop being poor

And banning smoking on a plane is a good thing
>>
>>3169444
Modern first class is basically just economy with a little more room and better food, overall it's pretty trash. Nothing luxurious about it, some of the Arab airlines are the only ones that offer real luxury and it costs you dozens to hundreds of thousands, it's not worth the price.

recreations like this, even when using authetnic itmes just lok so painfuly unreal. So cold. I never like seeing it, it's nice to see the objectcs but it just so...clean.

>>3171859
It's far worse than a public bus, because usually you're not forced to sit in a public bus for 10 hours which is what trans Atlantic flights often take.

>no legroom whatsoever unless you're a manlet or a kid

>toilet is as tiny as possible so they could cram more seats into a plane, might as well start handing people diapers at checkin
>meal quality is something between humanitarian aid for Somalia and dog food
>IF YOU'RE NOT SATISFIED YOU CAN UPGRADE TO FIRST SO YOU CAN HAVE TWO MORE INCHES OF LEGROOM LMAO
All because airlines figured out packing as many people as possible into a single plane is the most profitable, so it's just a step above cattle wagons for kikes being shipped to Auschwitz. There's million things people can criticize about the 50s but air travel is not one of them.

> White males also were subjected to hierachies treating them like shit. You basically came home beating your wife because the governenment and your boss treated you like a subhuman before.
This

The resentment and mental derangement of posterior generations isn't only due to media brainwashing and consumerism. A lot of people grew up in fucked up houses during "le greatest times" which added to them later supporting contrarian movements. Add to that that if somebody raped a kid, or if a woman got beaten by his husband, etc all they could do is to shut up due to social stigma and disbelief, only fueling up resent and mental illness

Imagine the following:
>a male is born in USA 1950
>get penis mutilated because lol Kellogs
>bond with mother ruined
>dad beats the shit of mother in front of him
>sister raped
>get touched by your local priest
>be treatened to go to hell if you got an erection because lol Jesus
>must adhere to social norms whether you like or not
>no labor rights like today
>be exploited and treated like shit by your boss
>go into alcohol/depression

the 50's wasn't exactly the best, but its retarded to go the other extreme and think all of it was some kinda medieval dark ages.
