Lyndon B. Johnson was the downfall.

No rap music. therefore, no rap culture.

A booming economy after many countries were crippled after WW2 and strong patriotism
>What caused the downfall
To put it in the simplest terms; Baby Boomers
>How do we return
Vote Trump

Boy kinda looks like a black/white kid

your "perfect" family was cucked
also it is the 60s, 60s was your golden age

>How do we return

Another world war.

Post WW2 it was almost impossible to become a US citizen; you guys sensibly closed immigration applications for decades.

And hey, want do you know, those decades were the most productive and peaceful.

Then the USSR infected both your Universities and blacks with Marxism, so you developed cultural weakness at the very top and bottom of society simultaneously.

>Vote for a baby boomer to fix the problems baby boomers caused

The real solution is WW3.

Underrated.

They weren't. You just believed the like propaganda. It was the he beginning of the consumer credit culture. Nobody talked about the rampant domestic abuse and alcoholism from returning vets and unhappy wives.

Whelp... kid's gonna get drafted

Damn Rare flag!

>Stealth cuck. Stealth negro kid
nice op

FDR and his policies and war economy caused middle class to grow and expand. 50's were never the norm but an exception, pre 30's the wealth was always concentrated on top, middle class was a very small group and majority of the folk were underclass who barely get by. After 80's the neoliberal policies are just reverting to what is normal. If anything world is going back to its normal settings, of pre 40's brutal capitalism(through wage stagnation, decrease in purchase power, increased expenses in college-healthcare etc). Not that I advocate socialism, I'm saying this as a libertarian.

Even if you enforce economical policies that protects and expand middle class, you can't revert a lot of the policies (racism towards niggers, keeping women in household only) moreover you can never ever revert back inventions which destroyed the 50's values. Good luck going to a place when contraception was not invented.


50's will never come back. It is delusional romanticism of an anomaly in the first place.

What the fuck?

Zoom in to the picture.

Everyone in that picture is swarthy.

Immigrants.

>Why were the 50s the height of America?

They weren't. It's all an illusion to fuck with your brain.

Civil rights

Changes in tax and economic policy and immigration reform in the 1960s, to put it in the most concise terms as possible since I'm in a hurry

Polio was awesome.

His wife's son and daughter are gorgeous little kids :^)

not swarthy, thats a black/mulatto family

That's not an actual family photo... Also, no the 60's were a time of social strife.

I've been here since November and it's honestly the first time I see Sri Lanka. Anyway.

I'd also like to take this moment to thanks Sup Forums for redpilling me.

Catholics kept Hollywood in check out through the Legion of Decency so movies like Song of Bernadette and how's like Life is Worth Living were popular.

Culture is now too far gone and the Church has lost its credibility. Something good drastic would have to happen

the real reason: everyone became middle class and we blindly bought into the consumerist propaganda spread by the capital jew, all the while thinking the threat came in red.

the loss of our religion, our values, and now our race was just natural progression.

>What caused the downfall?
The new world order.

What was the average life expectancy in the 50's? Didn't people die around 63 years old?

>Why were the 50s the height of America?
because it was a default state post WW2 -- the U.S. filled the industrial gap left in the war's wake

man, what a shitty post. No proof at all, just words.

they werent. as far as economic stability goes it spanned longer than the 50s.

the reason for the rise of the middle class on the scale that it happened was the rise of the unions.

the decline of union membership coincides with the decline in the average wealth of the average family. one of the reasons at least. couple that with shipping jobs out of the country with our trade policies and you have what we see today.

reagan was a real fuck.

every president since then has continued the globalist corporatist agenda.

export labor to third world
lowers the wage demand here due to lack of employment.

destroy the unions and bam.. no organization left to challenge it.

obama and clinton are as much to blame as raegan and bush's.

also... we need to reinstall the tariffs we had in place for 200 years.

trump said he's down to do it. im hopeful hes being honest but i doubt it.

GI bill = tons of college educated people = strong middle class. Plus a lot of the residual deficit spending from WWII had a carryover stimulus effect.

WWII destroyed literally every other industrialized country. We were the only country with a viable civilian industrial sector, the rest of the world had to buy from us and we had no competition. Our factories were insanely profitable, and a strong union presence passed on much of these profits onto the workers.

How do we get back? Start WWIII. Then brain drain all the German/Chinese/Japanese/Russian scientists again.

>Why were the 50s the height of America?
the rest of the world was a smoking ruin.

>What caused the downfall?
the rest of the world rebuilt

>How do we return?
make the rest of the world a smoking ruin again

...

Women's suffrage.

Those who think that the destruction of war increases total "demand" forget that demand and supply are merely two sides of the same coin. They are the same thing looked at from different directions, supply creates demand because at the bottom it is demand.

>WWIII
How do we do this without causing nuclear armageddon? EMP strikes?

>you will never live during America's most prosperous era

that would solve a lot of problems actually

Fighting against Germany instead of the international communist Jew!

>What caused the downfall?

all the Nazi engineers America stole died and all you were left with is retarded red necks riding on the shoulders of giants who think they are untouchable

Checked

Nope. The 50s were horrible compared to today. The best time to live is the year 2016. Homeless people live better than the kings of antiquity in a lot of ways. Not perfect, but on almost every measurable metric we are better off every single year in aggregate.

LSD hadn't yet come on the scene.

Name one way we're better off now

Are those brown people in the pic? The 50's were white, you motherfucker. I almost shed a tear until I zoomed in and saw brownies.

50's photos?

The token black friend has existed for some time, usually they are the one civilized family in the city that everybody knows.

...

...

You asked for one, so I'll give a trivial example. Laundry. How long did it take to do laundry back then?

...

10/10 SUBTLE PIC

depends on how much there was, about an afternoon for a days laundry because most people washed daily.

>>What caused the downfall?

I can think of a few things.

>tfw knowing you missed the good times.

Is this what hell feels like?

we stopped trying to succeed and just assumed we were number one.
went full corporate shill

The immigration and nationality act of 1965.

Repeal it.

>What caused the downfall?
Loss of racial identity
>How do we return
Gaining racial identity

feminists think women have no agency and can't actually compete with men on a level playing field. they want all thew advantages of equality with none of the responsibility.

Because we'de just turned Europe into a smoking crater and the world needed our factories.

Exactly, we thought we'd won the game only to find out we are still playing.

Why wash daily when clothes are so cheap these days? And washer/dryers are so cheap? I don't understand. That labor-intensive task was solved, and we all benefit from it. How could that possibly not be an improvement. Life was shit in the 50s. You might have an idealized view of it from watching movies, but life sucked back then

Quality post m8 thanks for the insight

Is that a black family?

Now I was a load of laundry about twice a week because all I have to do is throw it in a machine, no more washboards and cloths lines.

>life sucked back then
Your opinion is wrong

Dont pretend like BBQs still dont happen today leaf.

Just because your family didnt love you enough to have outdoor activities dont give you the right to come in here with your revisionist bullshit you hear me bitch?

its not that there HAS to be only one black friend in the group, its that usually theres only one black guy around. since theres so little black people you end up acting more like the people around you so youll end up getting along with the white kids anyway

t. the tolken black friend

there was a lot less people back then and a lot more to go around so yes, things where "better"

token*

inb4 i get shit on for that

That pic!

blacks who hang around with whites tend to not be niggers where as whites who hang around with blacks tend to be white niggers.

>Just because your family didnt love you enough to have outdoor activities dont give you the right

>it's just a nice photo
>projecting this hard

It seems like I struck a nerve and you are a pathetic retard whose family hates him

Also
>That food quality
>Them white families
>Traditional gender roles
Dont pretend for a second that this isnt an ideal situation faggot

Great argument. I have a load of laundry for you. Please wash it by hand, and dry it on a clothes line for me. Gosh the 50s were SO COOL with primitive, shitty technology. Awesome, let's go back to that.

It's like my grandfather said before he died back in 1999 "shit was absolutely horrible for my whole childhood until the war ended in 1945 suddenly there were plenty of jobs and the economy grew like never before. To be perfectly honest what the world needs is another war. It's a shame they invented the atom bomb which has prevented this"

So how do we fix this? We need to somehow get a total world nuclear disarmament. A boots on ground ww3 would follow soon
The way I see it is war to humanity is like fire to a forest. It clears away the old making room for the new. It seems like after wars throughout history there is increased prosperity after followed by a slow decline until the next war

Try harder newfag, I've been here since September

This is the most cringe picture ever.

Surely, you CANNOT be comparing the two? Different times, wars, oil prices, Federal Reserve policies, emerging economies, legislation, etc...

Jesus, this picture actually makes me rage. It's like comparing an apple to a VHS tape.

Sigh here we go again with the "not all blacks iz niggers somes of us iz normal people" bullshit

>Great argument. I have a load of laundry for you.
Are you really so lazy that this is the deal breaker for you? Having to do laundry by hand? You are pathetic. I would give up every modern convenience for a return to a sane world.

0 minutes because your wife did it for you or else she got a spanking

>this

>awesome
Exactly. Idiots here don't realize how great it is to live in 2016, and how great it will be to live in 2017. Aside from maybe pollution and global warming, we're better off now than we were the previous decade in every measurable metric, yet people always bring up this nostalgia bullshit. They watch Madmen and think they would be fucking don draper. No you would be the same fucking loser you are, just worse off with no vidya games, no technology, higher prices for *everything*, and a shittier life.

Post war economic upswing

Jewing and pushing first women then migrants into the labor force which killed the salaries

>no vidya games, no technology
Yeah you're a faggot alright

Also the polio vaccine has been distributed since the early 50s

RARE

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window

Yeah great idea. Please stop having thoughts, they aren't good

Old school disease have simply been replaced by wide spread cancer, MS, various potatoism and stds. There's no indication that people in the 50s were less healthy than now on average. Once a certain medical bridge aas been crossed (sterile environments+antibiotics), it mostly just stagnated.

>Cultural weakness
Keep letting the Royal family live the good life off of taxing your bodily functions.

>this as well

Imagine if the 3rd reich had won. With those scientists birthing raising and teaching a next generation of scientists who could have been even better

>mfw nazi Germany had a regularly broadcast television network and even televised the olympics while most of the world was barely figuring out what a radio was

>also had a possible stealth bomber prototype
>operational jet fighters
>rockets capable of space travel
>weapons and military gear that most of the world wouldn't get until after 1965 (assault rifles camo etc) hell when watching late war colour combat footage its easy to mistake them for soldiers in the 70-80s

I think that actually is a black family.
