| Question by Athena: I think something has gone seriously wrong with our culture, and it might be linked to the Great Depression and world war?
I think it has more to do with mass amnesia. Before the stock market crash in 1929 life was brutal. You had men living in houses with six bathtubs made out of solid gold and men living in shantys and all the while these guys with the gold bathtubs spew out the cliche that the men in the shantys were getting a fair wage. Women could not vote, Indians didn't have the status of a person and blacks were free under a jim crow society. The movement that changed all this has now been demonized do to the successful propaganda of the right. |
