Lately, I’ve seen quite a proliferation of memes using images like this. ^
A society purposefully and relentlessly conditioned by corporate propaganda is a society quite receptive to the alluring appeal of the “good old days” hype.
Like all myths, its mere existence makes other illusions easier to swallow.
Suppose the “good old days” invention is accepted as accurate. In that case, it follows that the wars fought, the businesses subsidized, the legislation passed, the culture created, and the leaders [sic] elected [sic] during those “good old days” get a free ride on their coattails.
We become a nation of people gazing backward for innocence lost rather than moving ahead with lessons learned.
Translation: disempowerment and division.
Here’s a tiny dose of reality:
During the “good old days” some mythical grandpa ^ would pine for, blacks had to ride in the back of the bus until 1956, mixed-race marriages were not legal in all 50 states until 1967, the use of DDT was widespread until 1972, women could not apply for credit cards in their own name (regardless of marital status) until 1974, and the use of asbestos was widespread until 1989.
I trust you get the idea and I also trust you grasp how long I could keep going with such a list.
Spoiler alert: There were no “good old days.”
That sentiment is part of the overall scam.
Thus, it’s up to us to create as much good as possible right now.
🙏

DDT didn’t and doesn’t weaken eggshells, when used according to directions. Pittsburgh area native Rachel Carson (who has a bridge, Sixth Street, named after her) came up with that theory. On the surface, her idea that our pollution gets into the water then the fish that mammals eat which are then eaten by humans thus causing everything heath problems, isn’t a bad idea on the surface. But it’s not true.
But what bothers me about what she wrote in her book, is that DDT wasn’t banned in the USA (nor did SJWs discourage 3rd world countries )until AFTER we finished using it to kill the mosquitoes that spread malaria. Good enough for the USA, but not people who had and have no way of defending themselves against the problems.
Black people in the South started migrating North in 1901, for jobs. Northerners did what they could to help them.
When we say “The Good Old Days”, we are referring to jobs. But now, we can bring back the jobs without the pollution we had back then.
👿 😡 😖 I’m tired of seeing the same lies and half truths, regurgitated over and over again. And actual truths, in attempts to make white people feel guilty, and everyone else angry.

I believe the technical term for this is «phantom nostalgia», by an analogy to phantom pain felt in amputated limbs.
