It’s all about shaming and social acceptance. People were ashamed of going outside the social norms. Today it’s a free-for-all. Go in a Walmart lately?
I only go into walmart after midnight so I don’t have to wear my “good” yoga pants and wife beater shirt.
Plus, if I forget to take off my wife’s bra, it’s no big deal.
“The 1950s are now remembered as an age of wan conventionality.”
What is “wan” conventionality?
I like Walmart. I don’t have to get all dressed up like when I shop at Target.
All of this is straight out of the communist manifesto, as followed by elements within the US democrat party.
Things were going according to plan for the socialist-democrats right up until they lost control of their most radical leftist constituents, namely ANTIFA, BLM, BAMN, NBPP, LA RAZA, REVCOM, etc.
These groups are the monster that the socialist-democrats have created, and that monster is now completely out of control.
A passionless era in which everyone was a goody-goody and no one ever had sex.
bourgeois
There’s your problem, right there. They were not “ bourgeois” values, they were values and they did not just appear in 1940. The emerged over 2,000 years of Western thought and the adoption of Judeo-Christian thought and morality.
I do recall being lectured by moral relativists that there has always been bad behavior such as out of wedlock births so why stigmatize it. The answer that there was a whole lot less then than now was met with derision. No matter how true.
We have lost our collective way the last 50 years..we resemble the late Roman empire: bloated, corrupt and morally bankrupt. Not just the US...all the West.
We were once a shining beacon. Soon we will be a 3rd world shithole.
“It’s all about shaming and social acceptance. People were ashamed of going outside the social norms. Today it’s a free-for-all.”
People are still dealing with shaming and social acceptance. Try being an 18yo girl who isn’t the least bit interested in going to college, joining the workforce, paying off student loans for 30 years, and instead wants to get married and become a stay-at-home wife and mom.
Try living traditionally and you’ll find out just how “tolerant” the supposedly tolerant types really are.
It's how parasitic left wing academics describe the social values of Trump voters. But you can't get the pronunciation just right unless you have a mouthful of brie.
Respect the intolerance of my tolerance!
Thanks Nevertrumper Mona. You and your conservative chattering cohorts have not taken one step to reverse the rot. Just yak yak yak yak.
Our society, our culture, our emergencies are a shitstorm now. Super strong forces wanting to destroy the American experiment, others that succeeded in kicking God out of our schools and our institutions, others that want to influence Americas children with hate for her, selling lies about "families" in Hollywood.
We are receiving our rejection of God and His favor, it will not get better.

Racism is the human trait that allows civilization to exist. Racism is the cement that allows the racial bricks to build a society
Racism is a political construct invented to put forward a destructive agenda.
“Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would do damage to the nation. Both have demonstrated low character, an embrace of appalling policies (in some cases, the same policies!), and a capacity for dishonesty that rocks the Richter scale. But he is arguably even more dangerous than she. Both will abuse power and pursue execrable ends, but . . .
So remaining Never Trump is not disloyal — it’s the only way to safeguard conservative principles.” — Mona Charen is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
“Trump now finds it useful to declare transgenders unwelcome in the U.S. military...Trump doubtless expects conservatives to faithfully defend this performance. He has reason to. For months, they’ve been serving as his dancing bears, sacrificing their reputations for the sake of TV gigs that are now available to Trump defenders....
...The next act is for conservative intellectuals and opinion leaders to defend Trump’s ploy as a serious policy, and to scream that the left has “lost it.”
No thanks. I’m demoralized.”

Mona Charen can kiss my butt! She is a disgusting hag who wanted Hillary to win, and who still opposes Trump for radical ideas like saying men who think they are women are not needed in the military.
No wonder things were so Leave it to Beaver like; all those immaculate conceptions.
