Man, I was around back then.
At least there was a culture to disagree with, even despise.
Now, thuggery, dependency, victimology, degeneracy, relativism of every kind, scope and degree...truly I have never been as disgusted by, and dispirited about, America and American culture as I am at present.
Maybe you are talking mostly about fashion and entertainment and so on...still, I think now is as bad as it can get before upheaval or collapse.
I’m referring to the movies, music, art, clothes and such.
I was a kid during the 1970’s and I recall a real sense of depression prevailing throughout where I lived.
Carter was a boob, for the first time I know of this country was not feared and people had no faith in America.
