Why did you think globalism was a good idea?
Why did you give away all the careers?
Why did you make college almost mandatory for success?
Why did you replace the ladder that you climbed up with a broken one for your children?
Why did you make it nearly impossible for your children to follow your path to success?

>>131130062

The carter years were horrible. Imagine trying to buy a home when the prime rate is 20%. Imagine hostages being taken by Iran and the President being too much of a pussy to do anything real about it.

Imagine a president who gets attacked by a rabbit while boating.

And then imagine that he has the balls to go on TV and say that the real problem with America was YOU.

That was the carter years.

The personal computer revolution came out at the right time for me to catch it at the beginning.

The first "computer" I used was a teletype machine hooked up to an acoustic modem (at school, they had only 1) , Other than playing around, all you could do is play WUMPUS and Oregon trail.

I think I was in the 8th grade when the TRS-80 came out. It was a groundbreaking machine that took the world by storm, even though it was a love hate relationship.

The cool thing about those times is that every computer had their own operating system. Apple and Microsoft were just another choice at that time.

>>131128574
Did you have any interaction with the unix or ARPANET communities before 1993? What was it like back then? Did the Eternal September actually constitute a sea change like Facebook+iPhones in 2007?

>>131128574
Fot you, what was the best decade you lived in?

>>131130442

> Why did you think globalism was a good idea?

At the end of WW2, America was the only superpower left standing. Though much of this was based on the geographic isolation, we came to believe that it was because our ideals were better than everyone else's.

And as only superpower, we felt the responsibility to keep the world running to prevent another Hitler from coming up.

What became globalism started out as our opening markets for our own goods. Following the war, we were an exporter. It started out as a good deal for America.

> Why did you give away all the careers?

People will have different answers. I personally blame the movie "Wall Street". When the film came out, it was like crack cocaine for a generation looking for their way.

The movie promoted the idea that all that mattered was money, and that morality was a waste of time.

And, as a result, more and more companies decided that they would like making a lot more money by outsourcing their labor to cheap 3rd world countries.

Of course part of it too was that the american consumer had not loyalty to their own nation. They didn't care where something was made. If it was $20 cheaper, they bought it; even though doing so would eventually destroy them.

>Why did you make college almost mandatory for success?

I didn't personally, but for generations it was always a matter of relative education. So, when most people didn't graduate from high school, being a high school grad was a ticket to the fast track. Later, as most people did graduate HS, college became the "ticket".

But it's all BS, of course. In the real world, unless you're in a highly technical field, the only thing that matters is how well you do your job.

> Why did you replace the ladder that you climbed up with a broken one for your children?

See above.

>>131130920

Not personally. The closest thing we had to the internet were BBS (bulletin board systems).

Some dude with a computer and a modem, you would dial in and have access to files and folders he exposed. There were even magazines that printed the phone numbers of some of these popular boards.

>>131130948

Probably the 80's. The 70's were too hippie.

>>131131368
Thank you for your honest answer.
Not like you could have personally done anything about it.
The reality of the situation was far away so few would ever have woken up to it.

>>131130920

I was unfamiliar with the phrase "eternal september", so I had to look it up.

usenet... ya, that was something.

Imagine the internet with no monitoring and no rules at all.

There used to be something called "alt.binaries" that was where pictures were put (speeds were too slow for video for most people).

Thank God the internet wasn't monitored then. You think /b/ is bad? some of the shit in alt.binaries would still give me nightmares.

What did you think of the Berlin wall coming down?

Were you in the military?

A lot of people knew it was happening even then, especially here in the detroit area.

At least one radio station put on an event where they set up a japanese car in a parking lot and let people take a baseball bat to it.

And if you worked for an auto company, you damn well better not try to park a foreign car in their employee lot. There wouldn't be anything left of it.

And no one asked, but probably the best car of the time (at least the most fun to drive) was the 1977 Cutlass Salon.

We used to joke that the only thing it couldn't pass was a gas station.

No, I was between wars. And between wars, the military was always seen as a place fuck ups go when they couldn't get a job in the real world.

alt.binaries was still popular for piracy right up until the birth of Netflix streaming, but I suspect that's a secondary usecase.

Do you miss the 80s? Wouldn't you say that nowadays, there is degeneracy everywhere. Like feminism has ruined women, loss of faith, loss of traditional values, etc

Do you have any children/grandchildren? If so do you worry about them inheriting a deteriorating civilization?

What are your political views?

Why is most of your generation filled with dumb liberal faggots who are basically the 1960/70's version of today's millenials?

>>131132564

No. In reality it was like the movie "Revenge of the Nerds" and nearly every other 80's teen movie.

The class system revolved around sports. The football players were the "in crowd", and they dated the "cheerleaders".

From a popularity standpoint, they were the 1%, with everyone else just trying to get by without making waves.

At least where I went to school, there weren't any racial segments because we were all white europeans.

Asking the real questions

>>131132642

I think every generation eventually misses the decade where they were young.

Yes, I miss the 80's. It was a lot of fun. And you are correct that the country has gone to shit with the SJW's and the rest.

Most of all, I miss being young, lol. Trust me... when you turn 50 you will realize it was a blink of the eye.

>>131132743

You are sort of correct. The boomers are divided into at least two groups. The separation age seems to be those born before 1960 and those after.

I'm on the tail end of the boom, so I can only speak for my group...

we saw our older brothers and sisters as being hippie fuckups with totally unrealistic opinions about the world.

we learned from their mistake. We're the reagan generation and we came out almost as conservative as our parents.

>>131132819

It's funny. Without our money, you would die.

So either you don't know this and you're representative of the brain trust you call your generation;

or you do know this and your suicidal.

Either way it's pretty fucked up. Must be the adhd drugs they put you all on at 5 years old.

>>131130442

Back in the early 60's, the Supreme Court made proficiency tests for employment illegal because "muh racism". After that, employers started looking for a college degree as some kind of indication you were semi-intelligent enough to hire. That spread around until almost everyone wanted to see a diploma in order to get a job.

The good news: College didn't really cost all that much compared to now. I graduated in 1979 and my last year's tuition came to about $4,000 which was also what I paid for my first car, a used 1976 VW Rabbit.

Wallace didn't run in 1972 because he was shot. You're thinking of 1968 and I was too young to vote but my father voted for him.

>>131133600

There was a push in the 70's to train kids how to treat everyone fairly.

For example, this was a poplar PSA that ran all the time:

Nixon was VERY popular. This is the 1972 electoral map, which gives you an idea.

(though the guy he ran against was a total pussy asshole, so any republican was going to win).

The politicians back then were giants. Both parties had a farm system, where no one got the nomination without proving themselves for decades.

Nixon?... titanium balls. He didn't a fuck what anyone thought. Great president in my opinion.

>>131133980

I preferred quisp.

Quake always tasted like honeycomb cereal.

>>131133672
>Nixon was good wasn't he... he was just set up, what he did doesn't compare to shit happens now right?

Pretty much. The press hated Nixon and he hated them right back. Nixon knew the press would twist anything he said, so he gave a lot of speeches on TV to talk directly to the "silent majority". Back then, the networks had to give him air time for these.

When Watergate blew up, there was some news about it every fucking night. I think Nixon lost support because people were just tired of hearing about it all the time and wanted it to just go away.

Nixon was a choirboy compared to Clinton.

Do you feel guilty that your generation screwed the generations here now and yet to be born?

>>131134204

A lot of it is that the college standards have fallen too.

Considering the demographic situation back then (no real pressure) and the lack of internet, I can definitely see why you wouldn't be too into that.

>>131134343

The biggest mistake of my generation was having the balls cut off your generation when you were born.

Somewhere along the line, our children came to believe that life is easy, fair; that they are somehow owed something by their family or society; and that their needs must magically be fulfilled.

Every generation has had to work at it. Yours will too.

The whole Tom Eagleton mess really fucked up McGovern, not that he had much of a chance anyway.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about: At the Democrat convention, the nominated Thomas Eagleton to be George McGovern's running mate. A couple of weeks later, it was found out that Eagleton had undergone shock treatments for depression. After that, Eagleton was given the heave-ho and they brought in Kennedy family shill and crony Sargent Shriver (Maria Shriver's father) to fill in.

>>131134772

It was bullshit, but even bullshit sounded good compared with the carter years.

Most people don't understand that reagan didn't start out as an icon.

When he first got elected, people thought he was too old and possibly stupid.

The early days of his administration was just treading water.

What turned it for him was getting shot.

Aside from surviving, the way he handled it (tough, joking), endeared him to the american public.

That's when the real reagan legend started.

>>131134343

Not us, the people you're thinking about were the red-diaper babies, the generation that preceeded us. They got themselves into teaching so that they could avoid the Vietnam draft. That's why colleges are full of commies. (((They))) invented Cultural Marxism. All this insanity you hear today comes from that, almost a straight line.

If you want to blame us for something, blame us for disco.

Well, the TV feed was only in B&W, so nobody saw it in color. Also, you couldn't really see much because the contrast was so high that Armstrong was a silhouette. I think they cleaned that up later.

>>131137179

Reagan being shot changed everything even though I thought at the time of his election George H.W. would have been the better candidate.

At that time the country wanted anyone but Carter.

But there aren't really any parallels to today, I cannot draw a single one between then and now. We trusted Walter Cronkite and the rest of the media then. Now you cannot trust any of them, and there are more of them.

It was the pager that really turned things. In fact, it might be what destroyed America.

Before the pager, once you got off work, your boss had no way of getting a hold of you. You didn't answer your home phone and that was that.

After the pager, you had no excuse and your boss expected you to call back no matter what the time.

In the beginning, cell phones were expensive to buy and expensive to use.

OZfag here, so an outsiders viewpoint of that time. Apart from SWAT & Combat Handguns, the gun press didn't really touch black rifles. It was for Fuds.
The AWB woke up the gun owning community and made them political, Dems lost the House and the Senate at the next election.
Clinton's attempt to blackmail the handgun manufacturers into enforcing his handgun regulations via lawsuit set them on fire. S&W was bankrupted by a consumer boycott led by the gun forums after S&W agreed to Clinton's terms.
Sig, Glock & a couple of others who were also ready to fold grew a spine and backed away.
I remember being abused by my American friends for buying a new S&W, even though it was pre-boycot stock in another country.
Many owners sold their S&Ws at very low prices to crash the second hand market as well.

>>131138646
>How has the general view of Nazism evolved since WWII or you childhood...

We grew up learning that the Nazis were the epitome of all evil. That was everywhere. TV shows like Combat! (Vic Morrow before decapitation), the Rat Patrol, Hogan's Heroes portrayed as unthinking merciless robots or clownish buffoons. My mother, who grew up in Germany during that time, hated that I watched those shows. Now I know why.

>What was it like having the USSR in our shadow still?
It's hard to describe because there was such a varied viewpoint regarding the Soviet Union. On one side, there were people who said the Soviets were lying sacks of shit that couldn't tell the truth even if they tried. On the other, there were people who said the Soviets were misunderstood and everything would be fine if the US wasn't so mean to them. Did we think about nuclear war all the time? No, it was there in the background but it was only the hardcore lefties who wouldn't shut up about it.

>Did people ever go to the USSR for like asking vacation or some reason, have you been there?
I had been to East Germany quite a few times because I have relatives there. Believe it or not, as depressing as it was, East Germany had the highest standard of living in the Warsaw Pact. You can imagine what the other places were like.

Jesus, no. There was the American Nazi Party, but George Lincoln Rockwell, was portrayed as a nut-job by the press. After he was killed, the ANP just kind of faded away.

They did make an appearance in the 70's when they wanted to march through a Jewish neighborhood near Chicago (Skokie, IL). The city said no and that went all the way to the Supreme Court.

Remember, we had no internet, only three TV networks, and if you wanted to look something up, you had to go to the fucking public library and find and read an actual book.

My first job, the company I worked for we had to use those. The problem was that they also had these bright fluorescent lights in the place because the dinosaurs at the company were used to them back in the days of blueprints. So we had to turn the CRT brightness way up. That's how I found out about burn-in.

We also had some HP Terminals, 2645A's if I remember. Those were really easy on the eyes, but cost about $4K apiece.

The gubmint even admits I'll never get all of that back. The people you should be mad at were the ones who retired in the 80's and 90's. They made out like bandits.

No, because nobody believe the press anymore and there are other sources of information.

Back then you had only three networks. Sure the news was slanted, but they at least pretended to be impartial. But if each one told the same story, well then, OK, it must be true. There were no alternative viewpoints, except maybe in some newspapers.

One poll back then called the CBS anchor Walter Cronkite the most trusted man in America. He had this resonant baritone voice that made it seem like God was reading the news. For most people, if Cronkite said the Vietnam War was lost, it was lost. If he said Nixon was a crook and had to go, well, then Nixon was a crook and had to go.

What do you think about them now and what was society's view of that back in the day? I could see people being more against the alt right/60s equivalent back then since the government wasn't so hellbent on important immigrants and 'refugees'.

hbo had a good movie back in the 90s, a biopic of Nixon. I felt like it was a decent, quick rundown on a man who was clearly set up. Liberals of all gens seem to parrot that he was terrible, but they only bought into media lies. He did take us off the gold standard, and that may have been both good and bad, but he did something (((they))) didn't want, too. He kept his campaign promise and ended the war. Was he praised for this? No, instead the media painted vietnam as a total loss for the US (arguable), and nobody and I mean nobody seemed to mind that they replaced him with a fucking Rockefeller and his puppet after Watergate. No almonds seemed to be activated, sadly. The media's credibility probably died with JFK.

People with half a brain are getting sick of the Cult-Marx bullshit of today's generation. The 60's radical leftists (the generation before me and we didn't buy into it) are all safely tenured in the colleges today where they spoon feed that crap to their students. You can draw a straight line from Horkheimer, Marcuse, Adorno, etc. to RadFem, BLM, Antifa, LBGT and every other pathology.

>Who did you vote for in the last election (I'm a leaf I won't judge). Has there ever been a movement similar to it in your lifetime?
I voted for Trump. I somehow knew that was an election where you should throw out the rule book. The only Democrat I ever voted for was Pat Moynihan, but that was before I realized he was a bombastic fraud. One thing I've learned is that when you vote for Democrats, you get your freedom taken away from you in nice thin slices until you have nothing left.

>Do you think the same nearly all-white demographics of the baby boom are ever achievable again?
We lost that one back in the 60's. The best we can hope for is to hold the line and maintain the status quo. It may sound depressing, but I'm being realistic.

>(and the most important) what was it like banging chicks with huge hairy pussies?
We didn't think much about it. We were grateful for any pussy you could get. Yeah all that hair made oral a bit of a job but it was just normal. Now I do wish that shaving was fashionable back then.

On the plus side, there was no "I got drunk and I invited him to my dorm room and we made out and a couple of weeks later I figured out he raped me" shit back then.

The only thing I can tell you is don't worry about what is going on around you and do the best you can for yourself. To thine own self be true. At 19, I wasn't all that comfortable in my own skin either. That will come in time when you accept yourself and just say "That's the way I am".

Have a few close and trusted friends, in this quality easily surpasses quantity. Friendship and loyalty are a two way street, so figure out who is reliable and who isn't. Don't discount family. If you have issues, figure a way to work them out. If you disagree with your parents, you're probably wrong. Not always, but probably.

>One thing I've learned is that when you vote for Democrats, you get your freedom taken away from you in nice thin slices until you have nothing left.

Let's be fair, here. The Patriot Act and Fatherland Security happened under Bush's watch. Yeah, the AWB courtesy of the Brady Bill was Clinton, so was NAFTA (not really muh freedumbs but close enough) and GATT (pic related). Let's also not forget how he cucked the entire goddamn militia with Waco. Bananas, of course, had TARP his 'muh legacy' healthcare, but man, I dunno. Patriot Act and Fatherland Security really rekt freedom. Kinda finished what Clinton started, and Obama merely passed that baton along.

>We were grateful for any pussy you could get

Some things just never change.

One thing I could say about the Weathermen was that, unlike Antifa, they were fucking serious. Not a bunch of poseurs role-playing as radicals. The real fucking thing, like in making and planting bombs. I remember when they accidently blew up a townhouse in Greenwich Village that they were using as a bomb factory. They could also quote Marx chapter and verse.

They were all children of very well-to-do rich people, just like the Baader-Meinhofs. Bill Ayers father was the Chairman of Commonwealth Edison in Chicago. I can't explain what kind of pathology was going on there.

>GATT
whoops. this old fart needs his beddy bye. I was thinking of letting China into the WTO and somehow thought "oh! GATT!". Sorry for the fake news. here's my retraction

That's part of the problem: You whining little sissies keep looking for someone else to blame for your issues, instead of manning up and taking responsibility for yourselves. OK, you might not have caused it, but that doesn't mean you can't fix it. So grow up, already.

It's also the default boomer response. Truly the generation that coined the phrase "pass the buck". Not that I can talk much shit about it. My generation perfected it, and Gen Z, well... it doesn't look too promising yet, folks, so let's all pass the buck onto kids born unto Millenials!

>But it's all BS, of course. In the real world, unless you're in a highly technical field, the only thing that matters is how well you do your job.
This is how you know this guy is full of shit. In the real world, nobody cares how well you do your job, it's how well you get along with your peers and how well you network. The better you do your job, the less advancement you're offered because nobody wants to risk moving you from a position you're good in to a position you might NOT be good in, especially if they can move someone else there as a favor instead in hopes of earning that person's loyalty.

Well, back when I worked in the quarry for Mr. Slate, we used dinosaurs to move rocks. After work, I would stop and get some bronto burgers to take home to my wife Wilma.

My idiot neighbor Barney would come over and talk some shit, but his wife Betty was hot as fuck and I always dreamed of a three-way with her and Wilma.

Literally seems to think old people are hard to dispossess.

When did you first use internet? Since how many year are you continously fapping to furry?

My father was born in 56 and he was a computer scientist. Maybe your dad was a nigger.

>>131128574
How insistent were leftists back then compared to today? I'm a gen x guy and to me things just seem nuts right now from the left. They are borderline hysterical.

>>131130275
My father was born in 55 and works in IT.....

>>131146728

Averaging out, that's about right, except it was 35 years before I was involuntarily retired. Didn't have to pay in much when I started out, paid lots more later on as my salary went up.

The good thing is you will all rot in old folks home, your ideas will be forgotten and Achmed will have fun raping and torturing you, while your kids give a fuck.

Oh god
That's what people my age go ballastic over these days
Everyday somebodies getting called in for something and it just destroys moral

>walk into store leave with mac 10
God damnit
What's funny is everything fun has a shitload of red tape these days
sports cars are neutered and priced so only guys your age can buy them and cosplay as a dangerous youth

>>131146947

The leftists back then were true Marxist believers. You had the respectable intellectual vanguard of people like Marcuse and Foucault. You had the media savvy ones like Abbie Hoffman.

You had some very famous liberals giving moral support to the radical left. One of the most infamous events was when Leonard Bernstein hosted a dinner party for the Black Panthers. Tom Wolfe wrote about this event and coined the term "radical chic". John Lennon was a vocal supporter of radicals and against the Vietnam War, nuclear weapons, whatever.

It was kind of like the Cultural Revolution in China although without the wholesale murder and shipping people off to farms in the countryside.

Anon., yes or no, the Kennedys are the single most anti-white family the United States has ever seen?

>>131138855
and now considering what the jews in hollywood/banking/media/politics have done to our society what is your current view on hitler gassing the kikes?

I understand boomers having a dim view of nazism due to you not having internet and still living in a 90% white nation without full jewish subversion. You could afford to be that naive.

dude, this always means jack shit, because the inflation rate is always higher than the interest you accrue on bank deposits. money sitting in a bank is always losing value.

>you had to go to the fucking public library and find and read an actual book.
Was it really that hard to find information? My life was saved/made due to online research, and I've always wondered if I could have down the same thing if I was born earlier. Surely there were libraries that were well stocked because that's all you had?
