Why isnt the future as we imagined in the 50's?

Why isn't life in America like this?
If we abandoned oil for nuclear power, invented things that improved work and quality of life, while keeping the health of the people and their land fully intact. Instead of just focusing on improving technology like tv's, phones, computers, etc. in order to gain capital, what if we put our efforts towards better modes of transportation and more distinct architecture?

I think that America in the 50's had it right: Distinct differences in architectural structures, technological devices, cars, races, etc etc etc. They had it like that and envisioned the future like that in order to not go the direction we seem to be heading: pure communism, not only economically, but through everything in life. Same modes of transportation, very similar architecture and sizes of homes, and the same race for all people.

tl;dr: Why didn't we move in the direction we envisioned in 1946-1964? What happened that made us so different than what we had pictured?
>inb4 "we learned better"

These are a step towards world Communism.

This is Communism.

If America stay at 90% white like 1950 then you would have

Reason you can't have nice things = you know the answer

If companies actually improved lives instead of marketing schemes to make you think their products improved lives then they wouldn't makes as much money. Its easier to invent many marketing scheme to make money then to actually figure out a complicated solution to a few challenges to improve lives. The notion that life has to be improved by technology in a way is the jumping off point that makes the schemes work.

We have to go back

Where did we go wrong though?

>Implying?

because technology doesn't work like fallout
go to school

How come we can't make things that are universally beneficial to everyone and instead appeal to hedonistic technology? Is capitalism to blame? Or is it just that technology doesn't work like fallout?

the jews reorganized a decade after ww2 dialed up degeneracy in the 60's. drugs, hippies, immigrants, feminism,stopped jim crow laws. damn

1963 civil Rights act
1965 immigration act
1973 dropped the gold standard.

The big 3

tfw the future was 50 years ago and you're living in the dystopian hell that comes afterward but you pretend everything is okay by hiding indoors and playing with fancy electronics

Yep I cannot even go in the hardware store with a backpack on too many Mexicans stole things and now we have to live like they do with security guards and metal detectors. Remember when you weren't treated like a criminal when you went shopping. What changed

Because Christian boomers decided we needed to use Chinese slaves so that we could buy a toaster for a dollar less instead of doing our own work and help support all of God's children instead of our own.

Probably for the same reason the 2070s won't look the way we imagine the future will look.

Too much money spent on social programs

No, just human nature. People are selfish and will always gravitate to hedonism. You're not going to change that no matter how hard you try.

Because people became so fixated on the "better future" that's they forgot the present doesn't happen on its iwn

This.

but we did make thinks that are universally beneficial to everyone. The personal computer, the mobile phone, the internet, the global positioning system.

It's because you allowed power and your rights to be sold to the highest bidders all while accepting the lies that everything was being done to protect you.

>t. let's all be commies goys
Seize the means of productions, my friend. Then you can produce what you deem universally beneficial, until your retarded system collapses.
