Submitting to the Civil rights era terrorism was a mistake. Feminism kills unions and bargaining power generally. Noggers have chewed up and spit out trillions of dollars in welfare. The high and the low and squeezing the life out of the middle. Weak men do indeed bad times.

Reminder that aristocracy is inevitable, and when global calamities briefly create a broadly shared prosperity, it never lasts, and the upper class always manages to reassert itself.

Technological developments with whatever wave of industrialization that was (fourth?) make it plausible. Once you factor out those killed and maimed in the wars, and the poverty of the depression. There was effectively no immigration from about 1920 through 1950 or so, and it was a racially homogeneous society notwithstanding the (controlled) black presence. People were not fat fucks. They ate real, nutritous food, and didn't eat nearly as much of it. Pax Americana running from 1945-1960 was great, the 1950s are in close competition with the 1990s as peak human civilizational development.

the elite had to make a compromise with letting FDR win otherwise there would have been a communist revolution. the elite have spent the post fdr era getting rid of fdr policy and being greedy, this will lead to the far left winning again in the future

The elite in the 20s WERE Communists. Communism became very vogue with rich WASPs in New York. They continued to be communists up to this day. Radical chique has poisoned America for a century.
