Fallen Hamprince posted:oh cool the 'economic anxiety' meme, where we learn that the richest and most employed demographic group became neonazis because of 'hopelessness' "Suburban youth" are not the richest or most employed demographic. They are deeply hopeless about the future because they live in deteriorating communities and because their formative political years were spent during the great recession.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:the reason they fetishize the 50s and classical gender roles is because they think that even failsons could raise a family then In the fifties a man could graduate highschool, get a job at the local factory, buy a house, and raise a family. That used to be an option. People who literally would want to live in the 50s are racist. Cultural idealization of the 50s is completely unsurprising from a materialist perspective, and in some ways it should be encouraged.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:All I'm saying is, this economic anxiety stems from the promise of an idealized past which late capitalism fails to deliver. If they came into this world expecting to fail, they'd have never been this reactionary. My point is that the 50s are idealized for a number of reasons, not all of them illegitimate.

"Huh, I wonder why Americans don't wax nostalgic about the 1970s, a decade where their president was impeached, they lost a major war, and they suffered from the worst recession since the great depression."

If he really does remember SJWs as a thing in 2005 then it probably did start here.
