User ID: 71860689 United States 12/25/2022 01:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Picking one decade was difficult but to say Post WW2 America up until 1980 was dam great. It wasn't perfect, my childhood sucked, but those years were the last great cultural evolution of America. Quoting: Feathery MTV marked the cultural decline of our country. I would say the down fall began with the escalation of the Veitnam War and then took the biggest blow in the mid 1970's with Jimmy Carter destablining the Middle East. Stupid hippy in a suite was stupid and thought the whole world thought like him. Seriously, a virtue signaling problem with Americans in general in that day and erra. No one really understood or called out virtue signaling back than, becuase no one thought about having a plan in the aftermath. They just thought if you are just nice to people, good people would just be nice back. Basic and innocent. Unfortunatly the real world is not like that. And honetly you can't trust Muslims countries, becuase they only trust other Muslims, and no one is ever Islamic enough. |

The 70's A large part of this is the Vietnam war ended soon, so no more draftt Vietnam ran until ‘74 then you had hippies spitting on vets. Nixon got taken out by the deep state and a useless peanut farmer allowed our Iranian embassy to be taken over and hostages taken.’ Gas shortage caused people with even and odd numbered license plates to alternate days to buy gas. Gloria Steinem convinced women to clog up the workplace with wage depressing morons. Sex drugs and the destruction of the nuclear family. Black Panthers Mariel boatlift (happened in’80, but because of Carter) In short, you’re fucking Retarded. |

US grabbed the glory for WW2, and they inherited the period of plenty during those years in particular the 50s. Boomers growing up never had it so good, the downfall began when boomers became angst teens which started from the late 60s onwards. That is when these pissants decided to experiment in everything from drugs to good governance. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83953088 I voted against him twice when I was a dumb liberal. The worst aspect of lots of people is their regular tapping into their "lefty" side. If not regularly than at least on occasion. Example: Donald Trump going from vaxx skeptic to big supporter of mRNA. Even Ronald Reagan's biggest blunder occurred when he self-admittedly got touchy-feely about Americans held hostage by Tehran, wanted them freed and their families made happy, and secretly negotiated with the mullahs of Iran. When people and places go left, that's when the fun and games begin. BTW, Adolf Hitler and his government declared that compassion should be the leading trait of Germany and the German people. . |

Quoting: The Gullible Skeptic Other. 1780s is the correct answer. In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

I'm guessing the real peak was in the 50s, but that's just my guess. It's just a bad day, not a bad life. If you run, I will run, until my last breath. |

The whole counter culture/hippie movement hadn't started yet. America wasn't flooded with illegals and crime. There were lots of places in America like Mayberry. |

We all fought to save the time but kids became weak I remember the same phrase being spoken in early 90s chat rooms. Men were Men, Women Were Men and Kids were FBI. Ah yes, the good old days when the FBI was actually doing their jobs and not trying to rig elections and infiltrate conspiracy sites. Ironically, the "conspiracy sites" are the sites that CALL OUT conspiracies and conspirators. Yet they are treated by the FBI as the "threat". Yes... Accountability is coming.

User ID: 24304886 United States 12/25/2022 04:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’m going with this date. We are survivors of orphans who survived an apocalypse. The 1850’s were rediscovery of the old days before the apocalypse. After that, The controllers rewrote history. My grandfather was born in 1876, I was born in 1961. I knew him as a child and he told me stories of his childhood, and of his father, born in 1843, who fought in the War Between the States. And of his grandfather, born in 1820, that he knew, who told him of his father, who was born in 1790. Who told him of his grandfather that was captured by the English after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and sold as a slave in Pennsylvania,but escaped and went to Kentucky. There was no Apocalypse.

User ID: 80052608 United States 12/25/2022 05:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think a lot of us probably picked the decade we grew up in. I was 8 in 1970 and graduated high school in 1981. It seemed like a glorious time. I know there were things wrong, but, it didn't seem like it to me. Since I'm kind of a technologist, it was a time of opportunity. In behind it all, our own government was torpedoing our success. Government is flypaper for corruption. It attracts it and they cannot seem to leave no matter how hot or cold it gets. I worry now about my grandchildren and the kind of world they will (are) inherit(ing). I just wish we'd get the party started so we can clean up this mess. They keep pushing and pushing. I am afraid that there is no peaceful solution. It sucks. 100% Unmodified DNA (mRNAless!)
