Be it Ancient Greece/Rome, Middle Ages, Victorian England, 1950s, etc.
I think it's okay to romanticize any aspect of the past as long as we accept that nothing is perfect. After all, this present time isn't perfect either.
Is it ever okay to romanticize the past?
He's right you know
Segregation alone makes the higher poverty rates acceptable
it's worldwide, obviously boomers in the West wouldn't care about the poverty in Africa and Asia that had no impact on their youth
>We can’t let our kids go to schools with black people
So don’t live near black people. Works for Vermont.
Blacks are like parasites who will follow successful hosts to leech
when it becomes illegal to keep them away, eventually it is impossible to continue running
Vermont is a shithole with no economy outside of universities, tourism and meth. You’re basically saying whites must become bugmen who restrict themselves with stagnate economies and destroy their Faustian spirit to create and innovate if they don’t want blacks to come by and ruin everything.
Daily reminder that integration was forced on white Americans by their own government
What happened? Why didn't the americans use their guns for self defense?
Because anon's braindead and majority of Americans (i.e. those outside the South) supported it.
Nice psyop
Good way to get charged with treason
sounds like you're a pussy
You don’t even know what a pussy looks like, shut your silly ass up.
and then when the negroes started getting bused up north, they realized their mistake within a week.
Many retards did use their guns for "self-defense" and the result is that the south just became even more of a violent shithole than it already was, and "self-defense" kind of implies that there is an immediate threat to your life, and a brown person walking down the street is not a valid cause for self-defense.
notice how violent crime dipped further in 08 *despite* the recession. Almost as if its access to easy, cheap media and pornography that does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to killing crime.
Not talking about any other of your points just pointing that out
A heat map of violence is identical to a map of where browns/blacks live. Blacks commit 20X the rate of violent crimes that whites do. Browns commit 5X. Coming across a beach that has TWENTY TIMES the rate of drownings is a completely valid, empirical reason to use whatever safety equipment and precautions you feel necessary.
Depends.
In the current context, people romanticize the old communities and feelings of spirituality (with both of these being greatly over-glammorized), which is only a natural reaction to our current system which bets that the improvement of living conditions > everything else.
Essentially, people romanticize old aspects of an "irrational" society, as to now a "rational" society (note that I'm not trying to express any judgmental value here).
Also, the poverty picture applies to the world(tm), in the US and other occidental countries, the curve is probably going the opposite way.
what a stupid picture, zoomers are braindead
>Oh no not the naggerinos, and the communists, there were also wars in the 1950
Kys
By "the world" people mean civilization, it doesn't include hut dwelling savages and ghetto apes.
>NOOO NOT THE HECKIN' POOR PEOPLE IN OTHER STATES/COUNTRIES
WASP small towns in the 1950s in the north were literal utopias, like hobbiton and shit
>.
This. People even had sex. Nobody has sex today
they had sex with tradwives in the 50s
convince me this isn't just Ben Shapiro in a wig with balloons for tits.
>Ancient Greece/Rome
>At the end of the Greek civilization
>Middle age
>Before paid soldiers and standing armies began to run the world
>Victorian England
>Right at the moment England began to fall from the uncontested only superpower in the world to a non important country
yeah man i really want to live in Poland in 1950 year i'm sure. great epoch of prosperity, freedom, and enlightened government it was here.
segregation was done for the white people's safety and so that negroes could build themselves up with role models from their own community rather than white welfare.
Dumb pic because humans aren't designed to care about distant things that occur that far away. Mao dabbing on chinks affected boomers barely more, than Chinese Civil war #3048 affected medieval europeans.
The world was perfect when I was eight years old and had no responsibilities and my parents looked after everything. Why is everything so much worse nowadays that I am an adult and my parents don’t look after everything and I have to actually understand the world and what is going on in it? Waahhh
That image shows that americans were richer than the rest of the world and blacks were still kept out of their society for the most part, basically that is heaven, of course they want to go back.
>but I''d rather be broke and live around blacks because of uh smartphones
ngmi
Who wouldn't
If you lived in America then literally 4 out of those 5 things DIDN'T AFFECT YOU!
Some things were good
Some things were bad
It is both wrong to romanticize and demonize the past. Life goes on despite everything, take on an existentialist approach and believe that life is worth living regardless despite suffering.
The boomer is right insofar as his world was better. American boomers specifically lived the richest, easiest lives in all of human history
In Ecclesiastes 7:10, Solomon is speak about the past and goes to show you that this notion of old = better is just stupid very very old.
Technological progress is inevitable, everything else from politics to economics is just us scrambling to cope with that. None of us are in control except for short periods.
>life was actually bad back then because you didn't have fatherless 60 IQ black students dragging down everyone else in class
?
This is the dumbest zoomer pic I’ve ever seen, are they really trying to argue that boomers didn’t have it better than us? What’s the purpose in claiming this?
nothing wrong with that pic
>muh naggers
>muh slavshits
>muh chinks
literally NOT my problem.
boomers did many things wrong, but not giving a fuck about rest of the world is not one of them
>Ancient Greece/Rome, Middle Ages, Victorian England, 1950s
All of these time periods had fecofd periods of poverty except for the 50s so romanticize is a strong word
The roman lower classes were starving
No one romanticizes about being a shitty peasant
That chart is global. Baby Boom is a phenomenon exclusive to the US/the West
Nostalgia is a great cancer, the past is merely a convincing premise for our fantasies, a believable background. What is the alluring quality of our pasts, our memories? They are a place further from death, the only place further from death, where else can a man go and be farther from his own death?
Imagine self-sabotaging your academic career because a classmate is Black.
Dixies seem to be as intelligent as an illiterate Negro from rural Mississippi.
>self-sabotaging
But it's the school/government that's letting the blacks in
>We won't go to school with negroes
Fantastic point, look how much better the schools have gotten since then.
