Anonymous Coward User ID: 79319489 United States 07/31/2022 07:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We had grown accustomed to the threat of nuclear war. When the fake gas shortage started people got pretty bent out of shape to have to sit in LONG GAS LINES. [link to media.npr.org (secure)] Then we had the inflation that we blamed on that incompetent asshole Jimmy Carter. America has gone downhill since the 1950s, and today we resemble THAT great decade in geography only. We muddled through the seventies though. NOW? Don't think we are going to see the 2030s. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83515653 United States 07/31/2022 08:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jimmy Carter was completely fucking incompetent. But he had a brian and wasn’t literally doing everything he could to destroy America and kill Americans. He was a blithering idiot, but he wasn’t a vegetable being used to murder this entire country and our way of life. The democrats now, however, are doing everything they can to destroy this country and murder Americans - literally everything they can. And another big difference is, Carter was duly elected. I think it was probably a fair election for the most part. Biden’s election was absolutely corrupt and we’re paying for it now. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83942086 The hysteria is far worse now and widespread. The Internet has been quite the handy programming tool. The 70s was depressing, it seemed. I was just a small child in the 70s, but growing up poor in Pontiac, the adults were all down. The children were angry and fought all the time. Fast-forward a handful of decades and I now live in a poor, rural area. The parents are all down and the children are all angry. They fight all the time. Prior to moving here, I lived in an upper middle class neighborhood in White Lake, Michigan. The children were not angry and they did not fight all the time. The government wants that class of happiness abolished. Poverty kills souls and the government wants all of you and your children down, depressed, and fighting all the time. Now we have, "Oh, look, a black kid! Oh, look, a Muslim! Oh, look, a gay person! Oh, look, a transsexual! Abortion! War! Inflation! Recession! Pandemic!" The anger and despair the they're fostering, they want that focused on other groups and not them. It's working fabulously, isn't it?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83942086 The Cold War and oil / gas prices and inflation just pissed us off. There was NO hand wringing hysteria, just pitchforks at the voting booth. Jimmy Carter was voted out and within months the country righted itself. Plus the country was still 90% white, ie Europeans with shared history and memory and solidarity. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83942086 This started out similarly. You can say the 70s was the easy group, but similar it out of their minds like today, brainwashed people have these blank minds that follow the herd. There really weren't that many people involved back then, this has gone public, from the 70s others were college age with a few older ones. You couldn't tell them they were wrong so, yep this is brainwashing to the next level today. All from the experiments from one of the agencies. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

User ID: 82207130 United States 07/31/2022 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Father who was in both WW2 and Korea was a hard working man. Never bitched about work at all. Was on his own since the age of 8. Saw his Father killed right in front of him. We were sitting at my pool one day and we got to talking,.. he said, Enjoy every minute you have, because in one hour your life as you knew it, can be over. He was referring to war and how everything was normal for him, until the shells were flying and soldiers rolled in and everything and everyone was destroyed. Roaming the countryside at the age of 8, stealing food, getting shot at, taking clothes from dead soldiers peppered across the countryside. Farmers willing to kill you for stealing an egg... and here people bitch about everything. I will tell you this, people will soon have something to bitch about because shit is about to get real.
