At the end of the 1950s the US was near the height of its powers, it was in an economically and financially strong position, militarily unmatched by any country except the USSR, and could contemplate and embark on wastefully ambitious projects like the space race. Its people were unquestionably confident in the country's anti-communist purpose and mission, and unabashedly nationalistic.

By the beginning of the 1970s, the US was a psychologically defeated nation, riddled with self-doubt and nihilism, with levels of drug and gang-related crime and domestic terrorism approaching the level of an internal low-level conflict, widespread contempt for authority, in an economically precarious situation due to oil shocks, trade imbalances and the end of the gold standard, a condition from which it did not recover until near the end of the 1980s, with some arguing it has yet to recover.

How did it suffer such a drastic collapse in less than one generation?
>>
>>3293777

the economic system developed to the point the people who owned everything no longer made enough profit to maintain it, it was just industrialy too developed, everything was way too cheap and affordable, and the system unloaded this massive production surpluss into technocratic mega projects like sending people to the moon, and generaly turned it into cadilacs and washingmachines and such to drown the surplus among the consumer population, as consumerism was largely developed precisely to deal with this surplus

from the 60is onwards, especialy after 1971 and then trough the 80is, deregulation and outsourcing made it so they were making profit again, but everything else went to shit

any possible moral or ideological 'degeneration' is ragely due to the fact the 50is smiling cardboard cut out nuclear family crap was just consumerist propaganda any way, even your example is basicaly some comercial all in bright technicolor

The argument is that your whole premise is wrong. The 50s were not such great years as you want to believe. Racism was rampant, women were still nothing but breeding and cooking machines. The US was extremely powerful and did not respect other countries, at all.

People might remember it as a great time because they did no longer have to endure the hardships of war (not like the US really had any).
I think the main thing though was that capitalism wasn't as rampant back then, you still had small businesses and workers were still seen as human beings. Nowadays it's all about mega companies, harshest, international competition and outsourcing of the workforce.

>>3293777
First of all, nice digits.
>Its people were unquestionably confident in the country's anti-communist purpose and mission, and unabashedly nationalistic.

Are you implying that they were right? I mean, saying that US citizens were nationalistic and anti-communist just makes me think about the fact that they had been subjected for a decade to actual nationalist propaganda (during WWII) and after that they were subjected to actual anti-commie propaganda (MacCarthyism). This is not something you should wish for again.

The majority of people in the US were second-class citizens in the 1950s (either because of their gender or their race).

You may be indifferent to that fact but the majority of the population enjoyed far greater rights and freedoms after your 'collapse' than they did in the 1950s.

Your attitude to it is irrelevant - the majority of the country will have seen that as progress.

Well it wasn't it before the war so I guess that explains it. You'd need to instigate a major world war every decade to turn everybody into your ideal patriotic drone. Compare the 90's with the 00's.
In the lead up to the war there were major progressive and socialist movements and also mob violence and lynchings.
>>
>>3294050
>women and men both and had Civil Rights which were logical for their genders. Including voting, divorce, ect.
By calling your worldview "logical" (and I'm sure you don't know the first thing about logic) you're just trying to validate it as an objective interpretation, which it isn't. I seriously doubt that what you consider "logical" does apply to all of those women (who are still individuals) who do not want to comform to your fantasy utopia, and this could NOT be the case in the '50s.

Secondly, I don't see why you are deliberately taking people of color out of the picture. They were still American citizens, and they were still subjected to actual, open racism. Why sould I say that living in the US was great, since you had 1 in 10 chances to live as a second-class citizen for your entire life? That's terrifying.
>>
>>3293968
Are you denying that the US was not extremely self-confident at the beginning of the 1960s and no longer so by the end of the decade?
>>
>>3293967
>The 50s were not such great years as you want to believe. Racism was rampant, women were still nothing but breeding and cooking machines. The US was extremely powerful and did not respect other countries, at all.

None of this answers the question of why the US was extremely powerful at the time, and more importantly willing to apply that power to pursue its objectives, but was no longer so within less than 10 years. It's nothing but a morality whine.
>>
>>3294050
>That's not true though
I think you're wildly deluded. The fact that they had certain rights does not mean that they enjoyed anything approaching equality when you take into consideration the overall picture. They both faced considerable discrimination and were institutionally denied basic opportunities enjoyed by white men.

In case you're wondering, I'm not some sort of loony left SJW. What I'm trying to point out is that 1950s America was not a place of false victimhood; there was plenty of the real thing going around back then.
>>
>>3294082
I'm questioning the source of that confidence, and how much of it was reflected by actual societal successes. While there are many good things that can be said about the '50s, I would say that anyone who actually believes in human rights would say that it was still an essentially morally bankrupt society.

1) War-weariness. The self-doubt, contempt for authority and nihilism you're describing were all closely related to public dissatisfaction with Vietnam.

You can even make a case for a lot of drug-use being Vietnam-related as well - a lot of young people picked up shitty habits in southeast Asia that they brought back with them. Not to mention the mental health problems and violent crime plaguing Vietnam vets upon their return to America.

2) America in the late 1940s, early 1950s was one of the few parts of the developed world that had not been absolutely obliterated by WWII. Europe was a wreck, Asia was a wreck, the US was largely unscathed. As the rest of the world rediscovered its industrial capabilities, US dominance began to waiver.

3) Exploding labour market. As civil rights and feminism progressed, the available workforce grew dramatically. This was further exacerbated by the baby boomers coming of age. This meant that the workforce exploded just as international industrial competition ramped up.

I'm not sure why the 1950s are idealised so much when poverty rates were so bad back then (around 1 in 4 Americans was living in poverty).

Say what you want about the US economy in the 70s but poverty rates were nowhere near as bad as the 50s.

It would also be interested to look into whether there were any changes affecting the way crime was recorded between the 50s and the 70s. It seems peculiar that violent crime would explode as poverty shrunk.

Confirmation bias, people were more prosperous in the 70s when you look at broader indicators like incomes and healthcare.

>drug and gang-related crime and domestic terrorism approaching the level of an internal low-level conflict
So 0.001% of people were murdered a year instead of the lows of 0.0005%, a little above the prohibition era. Even if this was relevant, the cause was obviously drugs.

French here. We really need to define "successful".
All morality aside, I really don't feel like I live in a successful society.
We had an empire, it's no more.
We had full employment, it's no more.
We had solid industries, it's no more.
We had a prosperous agriculture, it's no more.
We had safety, it's no more.
etc...
All was lost within few decades.
It's not my definition of "successful" and I'm pretty sure the situation is similar in the US. People being equal may be the epitome of what is a good society, but surprisingly when I look through recent history the more equality we have the less happiness we have. I need solid proofs that it's not related.

That's when US oil production peaked and they got buttfucked by the Arabs, you'd be frustrated too if you needed a car to do everything in society and the gas station was empty.

it's the tail end of white-flight. These cities were depopulated except by homeless, drug addicts, mentally ill, and urban poor. A depopulating city loses its tax base will still having all sorts of infrastructure and other obligations to pay for, thus necessarily is in debt. Unmaintained infrastructure and decrease in ability to police makes it a center of criminal activities as does cheap housing or abandoned housing allow for such denizens, criminals, druggies, etc. to move in.

White flight in the larger cities began immediately after WWII, the effects weren't quite visible until the '60s when it sped up with the race riots and the lose of some manufacturing.

>How did it suffer such a drastic collapse in less than one generation?
Demographic shifts and geoeconomics.
After WWII Europe was in complete shambles and the rest of the world was rural and impoverished, this allowed America (which had already profited immensely from the war) to rise to the occasion and meet international and domestic consumer demands without competition. By the 70's Europe (and Japan) had recovered economically and were in a position to claim their slice of the cake, this coupled with the expansion of the domestic American labour pool as well as the near-death of the American blue-collar worker due to the offshoring of manufacturing jobs into countries on the cusp of urbanization like China due to Nixon and Kissinger's diplomatic efforts created an economic vacuum in the US that caused the lack of social cohesion you speak of.
Also the White-flight that had begun immediately after WWI had finally culminated by the 1970's as another anon said, which basically stripped cities of their economic core and tax revenue, which basically rubbed salt in the wound that was deindustrialization.

It wasn't hippies and leftists.

Not that it necessarily reflects on your question, OP, but I thought I'd point it out.

Because majority of the world was fucked by the war, even ussr. Do tell me how many american cities were destroyed?

The rest of the world began to catch up, add to that the neo liberalism which lifted the restrictions of movement of capital and labor. No longer you had to pay 20 dollars for some dumb blue collar american when you can hire 20 pinoys to do the same job.

the prosperity of 50s was AN ANOMALY. Due to war + fdr-ike's socialistic policies. They are gone and they will not come back.

Dude, most leftists aren't like that. You seem to have become convinced that all leftists are extreme SJW nutcases. Which means that you're brainwashed yourself. You've probably spent too much time self-segregating in online echo chambers, not enough time interacting with people in meat-space. I'm not even a leftist but for fuck's sake, I know plenty of them and they're not this ridiculous caricature that you present.

Leftist cultural subversion with moral collapse, feminism, atheism, nigger movements, socialist movement etc. US was subject to one long demoralization campaign.

Atheism and feminism both had police and legal methods used against them. I mean yeah it's kind of overkill to shoot Susan Anthony but definitely arrest her and harass her.

The future will be more reactionary whether we like it or not. There are plenty of people like me who feel closer to conservative Muslims than your degenerate, amoral neoliberal hellhole. We're just biding our time while more whites die off. I'd rather live in Iran than commiefornia.

He was talking about natural resources, not the constant capital in his equation where it grows and grows while contributing nothing to surplus value.

A more realistic view would be to look at capital markets in real life where investors lose interest when the apparent returns on an investment are too low. If you track a mature industry, after the initial boom the rates of return approach something like 3% or 4%, as you might expect a low-risk pension fund to tolerate. Thus the tendency of the rate of profit to fall approaches these, significant albeit low, numbers rather than approaching 0.

There is no crises, happy capitalists clink champagne glasses and admire their voluminous portfolios.

I'd consider you reasonable if you advocated for, say, immigration law reform or a restructuring of the welfare state. But when you say things like "the army should have shot every hippie, communist and black panther on sight. Feminism should have been crushed", and when you blame everything on a "demoralization campaign", as if there was some monolithic leftist agenda (rather than a bunch of separate movements that disagree on a lot, which is more accurate) you get put in the "ranting cultist" category as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, they form the same voting block because the nature of electoral politics usually creates two umbrella parties and you have to choose one or the other if you want your vote to count in an immediate way.

Nothing of the sort is clear at all. To me it seems that it's mostly just different subgroups of leftists pushing in whatever direction each group is most interested in.

I disagree, it's like the one thing they excel at. Remember these are the people who gave us feels over reals.

If you were white. The Federal Housing Administration subsidized low cost mortgages that created strong financial and housing industries. The mortgages were only offered to whites, however. As a condition of the mortgage, the house could never be resold to blacks.

Blacks were forced into urban middle cities, unable to buy. They might as well have been the German ghettos of WWII.

You don't have to advance anything. One of the favorite strategies of empires is to create zone of conflicts that attract the disgruntled, the miscreant, the soldier of fortune, the luciferian, etc. Sort of a designated shitting area for enemies of the government. So to speak.

It's also mind boggling when you realize that there are rivalries between massive bureaucracies.. The DoD hates the state department and vice versa. The DoD just wants to ensure that trade routes are kept clear. It's as if they LARPed as Pax Britannia but then actually replaced that world picture so that it'd be modest to say we live in Pax DoD. Well maybe "lived".

The state department (and by relation, the CIA) wants to play fuck fuck games because they're venal people in a system where there's little punishment for bad calls. Because they're college professors with a license to kill and a license to give millions to their stupid idea of culture and their stupid worship of novelty. Jackson Pollack would've been a nobody without CIA funding.

The housing bubble was due to excessive trust in government regulation which led to the market failing to self-regulate. I don't see how this is related to the alleged tendency of the rate of profit to fall. It is not a "crisis of capitalism", just a regular crisis due to human error.

In 2015 when oil prices dropped and oil related stocks started to drop below a p/e of 20 based on dividends alone I concluded they were a sure thing and bought in. For Chevron this was at about $90, they are now worth $107.76, plus dividends that's 13.7% annualized returns.

If capitalism is in crisis how am I still able to turn a profit almost a decade on?

GDP was back to normal by early 2011, not much of a crisis. I wish I was older and was alive back then. Seeing iphones for the first time after a stock market crash was about as much of a nobrainer as oil.

Most of the negative demographic traits you see among black Americans are more common in whites than in Asians.

Not per capita. There are more total whites.

But per black person...dude it's a fucking apocalypse. I don't see how any culture recovers from something like a 70+% fatherlessness rate. It's fucking sick because I have nothing against good people and yet, these fucking hooligans ruin the years of goodwill the good people have done for their neighborhoods.
>>
>>3304670


Actually I misread your thing. Blacks still commit the same crimes with a factor ranging from 3x to 14x when compared against other ethnic groups and when per capita is considered.

The fact that whites have more criminality than asians isn't shocking. What's shocking is that we would have some of the lowest rates of murder in the world...if blacks magically disappeared.

I'm inclined to follow Thomas Sowells logic.

If you throw a bunch of people together, from different cultures and different backgrounds, they will always do differently. Equality is not natural. because the world is random.

I'd caution against genetic explanations, for the simple reason that social conditions have changed to quickly.

For example, out of wedlock birthrates in black America went from around 20% in 1955 to more than 70% by 1995. Black people's genetics didn't change, their culture and living arrangements did.

By the same token, homicide rates doubled in between 1963 and 1970, affecting black communities worst of all.

From 1995 to 2015, the reverse happened, leaving homicide rates back where they were in 1963.

Black people in New York City are dramatically less homicidal than black people in Baltimore. Majority black counties in the Atlanta suburbs are less violent than majority black communities in Michigan.

If genetics is a part of what's going on, it's tiny compared to the forces driving these kinds of changes.
>>

>If genetics is a part of what's going on, it's tiny compared to the forces driving these kinds of changes.
Not really, blacks in NYC are probably further right on the IQ bell curve than the blacks in Detroit or Baltimore.
>>
>>3304705
>Black people's genetics didn't change, their culture and living arrangements did.

Fucking welfare. Killed off their chance to avoid ethnic apocalypse and/or irrelevance.

>Black people's genetics didn't change

Well they're experiencing dysgenic pressure, courtesy of welfare. You haven't seen shit 'till you wait in line and hear a couple of fat women discussing how to leech more money by having more kids.

Dysgenics probably have a lot to do with the destruction of sane black cultures in the past half-century.

And then you have cities which function as IQ blenders (NYC, LA...maybe, SF, Miami, etc) and cities which function as dysgenic wastelands (Detroit, Flint, Baltimore, Saint Louis,...).
>>
>>3304710
IQ itself is connected with poverty, both as a cause and an effect.

Poor Americans don't eat as well when they're pregnant, they're more likely to smoke or drink while pregnant, their children don't eat as well, and their children hear dramatically less words, and read dramatically less words.

All of these things effect IQ.

If a family in Baltimore experiences a near total collapse of family, community, economy, and public services, their children will grow up worse, and end up less intelligent, than a family in New York City, where the economy eventually recovered, working poverty is less common, and parents can raise their children better.

Race, culture, and economics are all intertwined. You can't analyze any of them in isolation.
>>
>>3304738
Environmental influences only account for 20% of IQ, IQ is mostly genetics.
>>
>>3304733
I personally buy Moynihan's argument that the expansion of welfare was a symptom of the collapse of the black family, rather than a cause of it.

From the sixties onward, the amount, and the cost, of the education necessary to provide for a family has been going steadily up.

The city political machines, unions, and low skilled industrial jobs that provided a route out of poverty have been steadily disappearing.

Meanwhile, the sexual revolution normalized sex out of marriage, which was fine for richfags who were smart enough to use birth control, but ruined poorfags who weren't.

If you're interested, this guy was one of the first people to notice the impending collapse of the black family structure and try to figure out why it was happening.

>>
>>3304747
As I understand it, environmental influences can limit IQ, but they can't really raise it. So the less negative environmental influences there are to limit intelligence, the more important genetics are.

Environment would be more important for poorfags than richfags.
>>
>>3304738
>Race, culture, and economics are all intertwined. You can't analyze any of them in isolation.

That's why we use IQ silly! Out of all factors, it has the most correlation with how a person develops. Doesn't mean everything is IQ but out of the other categories (race, culture, etc.), IQ is the racehorse you bet on.

And if a place gets so shitty....leave! This is a general pet peeve with people though. The thought of leaving/running away from a bad situation is frowned upon. You're supposed to face Leviathan with your puny body and your puny mind. Retreat and live to fight another day isn't a bad strategy.

Poor people are less likely to move to avoid a bad situation than rich people are, because poor people don't have the spare resources necessary to do so.

This is how you end up with places like Detroit or Flint.

I've been homeless. It's not a massive ordeal to move unless you have an IQ below 90.

Oh wait...

Okay, I see why black people utilized the same strategy they've done in many cities. (Shit in the communal toilet until it overflows. So to speak.)

I'm just not buying the "blacks are equal except environment!". You want to be homeless in a major city to find out? Be my guest.

Its just a coincidence that regardless of income and culture and country, black people are disproportionately violent and criminal? And black haplotypes carry genes linked to violent and impulsive behavior. Despite clear physical differences in bone and body shape, behavior is genetically the same among ethnic groups.
>>
>>3304801
No his chronology was right and it's confirmed by various sources on the matter.

Whites often tried to prevent blacks form working with them at one time a workplace gridning to a stop because Blacks were hired wich apparently sent them into a fit and the factory owner+maangement having no idea what to do.

It's also easier if you're not a piece of godamn livestock who can't make coherent models of the future.

It's like in DnD. People think themselves out of a valid strategy ("Run away and live to fight another day"). People tolerate shit because they suck at judging the value of a thing.

People aren't fucking helpless and yet they also make mind-bogginly stupid decisions. Like staying in Flint or staying in Detroit. If they could think a decade from now, they would leave those areas immediately.

The mass immigration is one of those perverse phenomena that radiates from social media. They saw visions of wealth, security, and comfort. Instead of putting their own work in, to make that alluring vision a reality, they just moved to countries which already had it figured out. Not to mention that the native population didn't really have a say but instead was crammed with propaganda extolling how Europe should be more "multicultural". It's one of those things where I feel like I'm in the wrong timeline. It's just that fucked, especially when you're importing mostly men.

But(!), not only men but men with prison sentences and men with mental illnesses of varying severity. You fucking think any of the countries, on the other side of the Hajnal line, are passively looking at this? No, they're saving money but exporting their biggest troublemakers to be another country's problem.

It's clearly a play by the USA to disrupt the EU supply chain and maintain dominance in a NATO-like way. You destabilize countries and they stop being a threat for a while.


>>3307951
In Singapore, congregating in groups of 5 or more for political action (BLM protests, alt-right demonstrations) is against the law. It's also the safest place in the world for women to walk around.

They also have a minuscule number of blacks and those that are residents are probably equivalent to being in the top 2% in the US. I would not be scared of blacks in Singapore and it'd be shameful to insult them.

.
>>
>>3308484
CONT.

Note, I used actual fucking intelligence. Even though I disapprove of any place in the US with a majority black population, I can look at Singapore and be assured they're not ghetto welfare bums.

It's almost as if the power to generalize, to discriminate, and to recognize exceptions enable people to make more accurate judgements. Instead of thinking that racism is a form of elemental evil.
