Why does /pol/ think living in mass produced prefab houses and being the first generation addicted to the idiot box (TV) was based and trad?

Women had rights, so already it was too late. Also the last Encyclopedia Britannica, published in 1928, describes the emancipation movement, about how gangs of women were going around smashing windows in downtown London, and beating up government officials until men capitulated. Imagine that, old timey women in dresses pounding government men in their faces on the streets.

Oh my parents were that way after school and work was over everybody sat in the living room and stared at the TV every evening every fucking evening and never took a day off from doing that and I hated it

Something something blacks didn't have rights and I could beat my wife and kids with no consequences.

both the right and left have bought into the myth of the 50s to serve their own purpose. The reality is there were big concerns about rock and roll poisoning the youth, child delinquency, beatniks, biker gangs, greasers, and the beginning of the counter culture with guys like Kerouac, Ginsburg, and William s Burroughs

it wasnt some white utopia or dystopia.

Anyways, worshipping the 50s is boomer coded, the new time to worship is the 80s which is gen x coded

>If you are wondering this 4th of July weekend why fireworks are illegal to sell in Springfield, Missouri, you might ask your grandfather for the answer. On Tuesday, June 28, 1955, a fireworks stand at Consumer Warehouse, a grocery store in downtown Springfield, accidentally erupted, causing a fire and explosion that gutted the store. Thirty-three persons were inside the store at the time; most escaped unharmed. Three fatalities resulted--Margaret Click, 56, Mary Williams, 11, and her sister Linda, 7. The three had huddled in the women's restroom for cover, but died of smoke inhalation. Their mistake was not using an exit door near the restroom that would lead outside.

>Danny Dittrick, who was 19 at the time and a store employee, recalled trying to put out the fire with puny handheld extinguishers. "It blew the roof of the building off. It wasn't something I'd want to go through again." He passed out from smoke inhalation, but firefighters rescued him and he recovered after a few days in the hospital. Lawyers tried to get him to sue Consumer Warehouse for gross negligence but he declined out of loyalty to his employer.

am i wrong though? all the people 4chan calls boomers are actually gen x, its why we have been trapped in a forever retro 80s since the 80s ended. the actual boomers are dying off and old as fuck, all the karens and trump voters of the world are gen x

the people who want to make america great again want to return to regans america, back when hair metal ruled the world, america was 90 percent white, back when we defeated the commies and everything was going to be good again

>>18406775
Is a retroactive fantasy that never existed to give meaning to the times u are in now lol. A fascist dream that never was.
>>
>>18406812
blacks literally had rights.
>but it wasnt the same as White people
Access to White people is not a right.

You couldnt beat your wife with no consequences.
I have no idea where this myth comes from that assault wasnt criminalized until... 2011??? what is even the argument here?

>/pol/
Where?
/pol/ hates the 1950s.
You heard /pol/ is racist, your idiot parents are racist but love the 1950s.
You therefore conflate the boomer con views of your immediate family with /pol/ because "both racist bigot against tranner!!!!"
You are not a serious person.
>le trads
instragram reels are not trad.
stop getting your information about """"""""""""""""Da Right"""""""""""" from IGReels.
