Why the Nazis are back
This is the 50s, I think it’d be pretty easy to draw a line from casual racism to white supremacists. A key difference this time is that it’s not just Germans led by one insane man, it’s instead a bunch of redneck prices and conspiracy theorists.
Before the US got involved in WWII, there was a giant Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden…
I’m just going to steal the response I read years ago.
“I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers.”
And porn! So much porn!
Things they considered morally fine (smoking, dropping litter, 40 year olds dating 16 year olds) is morally reprehensible, while things they thought were morally wrong or even outlawed are totally acceptable (homosexually, porn, divorce).
You just explained a large selection of boomers.
Yeah, a lot of them were born in the 1950s.
That shitty actor from Bedtime for Bonzo becomes president.
“Ronald Reagan, the actor?!”
“Then who’s vice-president, Jerry Lewis?”
And he made life worse for nearly everyone.
nature and resources are not infinite. you are responsible for your actions no matter how terribly hard your childhood was. you cant buy a house for a years loan. we are all fucked.
Ronald Reagan was President for 8 years.
Not to mention the Bush imbeciles.
That’s heavy doc
Why the Nazis are back, and in America of all places

This one is hard to explain to people from the 2020s
That we’ve been to the moon and back, and that they can casually toss into their pockets a device with enough “thinking” power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
And that we still can’t make nylon stockings that don’t “run,” but that nobody cares because we don’t wear them anymore.
That, and transgender is normal.
toss into their pockets a device with enough “thinking” power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
“And then some” is a bit of an under statement. An iPhone 14 is literally millions of times faster than the Apollo Guidance Computer.
Depends a lot on the color of their skin.
Credit Scores?
We walk around with a little rectangle in our pocket that gives us access to the sum total of human knowledge, but we mostly use it for looking at funny captioned pictures, the same pictures over and over just with different captions.
It’s called a phone but no one ever uses it as one.
Also, the “video telephone” that everyone always so desperately awaited from the future? Yeah, we have that; no, nobody uses it, because we can’t be bothered to dress up for a phone call.
I also thought no one used facetime until I worked retail recently… The amount of people I saw come in on a facetime calls where they both just had their cameras pointed at the ceiling was bizarre and boggling.
The remote control T_T
“Yes, they are allowed to be on the same bus as us. No, we don’t call them that anymore”
“Bus? No we bulldozed hundreds of neighborhoods to build highways so now everyone has to have a car”
And we had a pretty great black president.
Depends where they appeared
And which person from the 1950s
