Really? For the benefit of others, I’m even willing to dig into it more deeply – not for your benefit, since your brain long ago snapped shut like a rat trap, and accounts for the bubble you live in. This is what I said you do:
… blaming society’s ills on “hippies”, on less oppression against minorities and the plague of civil rights, and presumably also on women entering the workforce …
I thought my cite – and the Father Knows Best reference, pretty much perfectly summed up your tedious whining about the 50s and 60s. In addition to that cite, though, I would point out this thread (and there are many others) in which you opine as usual about the usual villains causing society’s ills:
The “counterculture” (“hippies”) – you wax eloquent in this thread in particular:
The counter-culture revolution was about immaturity, selfishness, freedom from responsibility, hedonism, and the notion of ‘relative morality’ - the ridiculous idea that societal standards should be abandoned …
Minorities and civil rights:
A good example here is that previous thread I cited, the GD thread on Larry Krasner and justice. The problem, apparently, is all the blacks. You explicitly cite “diversity” as the problem.
Now, I don’t dispute that a high proportion of violent urban crimes are committed by young black men. The demographics isn’t the point, the point is the causes (why it’s a relatively recent problem) and the solutions. It was less of a problem in the good ol’ days that you whine about because blacks were far more restricted in where they could live, the places they could go, the things they could do. Civil rights removed the most oppressive of those restrictions, and resulted in a situation that you seem to have a problem with, longing as you do for the good ol’ days. And your solution? Not expanding opportunities for this disadvantaged minority, but throwing more of them in jail, and keeping them in there longer – the exact opposite of the opportunity-focused and rehabilitation-based programs that have been so successful in other places that, as I keep citing, have even more diversity in heavily populated urban areas than the troubled urban areas of the US, and consequently lower crime and lower rates of recidivism.
So there’s no shortage of cites and statements by you demonstrating that you are indeed precisely the regressive bigot with all the wrong answers – to racism, justice, guns, and everything else – that I said you were.
As for my speculation on your attitude about women entering the workforce, notice that I said “presumably …”, extrapolating from your pathetic nostalgia for the 50s. But perhaps you’re not actually a misogynist and could accept that particular social change, but everything about your values suggests that you would much prefer the fair sex to stay in the kitchen and clean the house whenever she’s not in the maternity ward popping out another son for you.
OK, apology accepted for having accused me of being the cause of your fall from grace as an exemplary poster. I would bring to readers’ attention, however, that whatever took you off the path of being this mythological polite fact-respecting poster – something for which we have yet to see any evidence whatsoever and which I maintain is pure myth – and turned you into a frothing spittle-mouthed ranting troglodyte, must have happened a long time ago.
Certainly more than a decade ago. Here, for instance, is a tribute to how well your troglodyte persona was already established way back in 2008:
