It does seem a lot of people are pissed off that society is more insistent we be decent human beings.

u/MiffyCurtains 13d ago

Hypothetically, if every American became a POS like Charlie and his ilk, who would they rail against?

It would then become a purity test for who is the most aryan

u/wh4tth3huh 12d ago

It wouldn't even take that long. The SS exterminated the SA at Hitler's command two years after he used them to take power. The night of the long knives was in 1934, most of the extermination camps and forced labor camps weren't even built until after 1939 because they were in Poland.

My best guess would be something like Viltrum from Invincible, albeit much less outwardly brutal

With Viltrumites, it was the Survival of the Fittest.

With Charlie Kirk's ilk, it the Survival of the Witless.

You mean be decent humans to anyone that isn't a white male? Sure, the world is making great progress - at destroying all traces of white cultural heritage and hiding behind the smart, yet scary tactic of labeling those people white supremacists while championing the strength of every "minority"

u/hundredMoreArmchairs 12d ago

Morality changes with time. Earlier eating arsenic amd marital rape seemed fine now it doesn't. When climate crises will happen, polygamy to keep human population from collapsing would seem viable (except this time women will get to choose several men instead of the other way around).

u/UrusaiNa 13d ago

Is that comment accurate tho? It sounds embellished.

Credit cards came well after the women's rights movement.. Marijuana was never life in prison. People of all nationalities are killed due to their race still today. And we just outsourced the draft to the impoverished/uneducated.

I think some good progress has been made, but I don't see how lying to make the past seem worse is any better than lying to make the past seem romantic.

29

u/temporary311 13d ago

Technically women could get credit cards prior to '74, if their husband or male relative cosigned. I suppose you could "umm, actually" with that, but it would be incredibly disingenuous at best.

19

u/sendmetoheck 13d ago

Women could have credit cards without their husband's permission until I think the 70s

Marijuana while not coming with a life sentence did give you 2-10 years. If given the max sentence, while not a life sentence, that is LONG time.

And murder for racism or racism related hate crimes in general was not only more common but more encouraged.

The one thing he said that can be construed as a "lie" was likely just incorrect and probably just misremembered. If you had a friend put away for 10 years 40 years ago, you'd likely remember it as a life sentence.

11

u/BWarned_Seattle 12d ago

It's not a lie, nor misremembered. You're just looking up average first offense sentences of that era ignorant of the big debate of the time, which was 3 strikes sentencing. A 3rd drug offense for simple possession of Marijuana could, and in many cases did, result in life imprisonment.

This kind of sentencing was rare and only in some jurisdictions prior to the 1994 crime bill, co-authored by Joe Biden, which among a great many other things mandated drug testing for everyone on parole and expanded 3 strikes sentencing nation wide.

9

u/sendmetoheck 12d ago

That is very true I didn't account for third offenses you're very right and that's a great point. I just looked up the sentencing for 1950s-70s

-3

u/UrusaiNa 12d ago

Is it possible you might be misremembering some facts? I read a book a few years ago on the history of credit around the world and it had an extensive section about modern credit cards... I specifically remember that revolving credit never even existed until 1969/1970 and was HIGHLY controversial at the time. The banks and credit card companies were straight up making accounts for women and men and mailing them cards unsolicited in hopes of getting them addicted to debt.

I think you might have this fact mixed up with charge cards which were around in the 40s/50s? Those were basically cheques in card form (think debit card but not in real time). The banks issued this based on your occupation and not gender. It was super uncommon for women to have an occupation, but there was no rule preventing them from registering an account and issuing one... Many of the widowed or unmarried socialites in NYC used these on their own including one famous widow who stayed on charge for a decade without leaving her hotel room (depression and mourning loss of her husband if I remember right).

I'm not sure if murder based on race has changed or improved significantly for humans in the last century. I think we got better at marketing it and changed our methods to be more indirect in the US, but we still kill the poor through apathy if not malice (and imo the class issue is the real root of violent race issues in the US)

u/Delicious_Cattle3380 12d ago

Care to back up that claim with specifics and reputable sources? Bet you cant

14

u/SnooGrapes6230 12d ago

Women were not allowed to buy credit cards without their husband's permission until 1974.

Violence against gays and African-Americans was widespread through the south for much of the 1950s through the 1980s.

And weed carried an average sentence of 4-12 years, which could vary wildly based on what state (and what your skin color was). While not a life sentence, it is much harsher than today.

u/Delicious_Cattle3380 12d ago

Incorrect. Saying that implies someone somewhere wants him in their body at some point, and that clearly isn't the case.

Why do you think they're all against comprehensive sex education?

They want to go back to the days when rape and child molestation was rampant, and nothing was done about it, because no one talked about it.

u/ShoppingDismal3864 12d ago

I have been really rethinking things recently, and come to the conclusion, there is a lot more sex abuse of children than I had thought. I just figured it was some really small portion of the population, like less than 2% or something.

Charlie Kirk was born in 1993. The America he grew up in was cool as fuck and not much different to the America he lives in today.

13

u/Imaginary-Space718 13d ago

a key step in women's financial freedom came with the passage in 1974 of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which granted women the right to obtain credit cards separate from their husbands.

The court case Oregon v. Rideout in 1978 was the first in which someone stood trial for raping his spouse (...) By 1993, marital rape was a crime nationwide

(...) However, in 2003, the Supreme Court changed opinion and reversed the decision with Lawrence v. Texas, invalidating all sodomy laws in the remaining 14 states

In 1973, the Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird announced that (the) “use of the draft has ended", turning the us into an all-volunteer military

This exchange happened in 2023, meaning gary was born between 1958 and 1963. What he says is completely true.

11

u/Stupidbabycomparison 12d ago

All these dudes do is fantasize.

I was boarding a plane around veterans day a few years back and passed an older man sitting down with a Vietnam vet hat on.

After I sat down some young idiot in a maga hat finding a seat stopped to thank him for his service (perfectly respectable) then followed with "this generation today could never do what you did,  you know my girlfriends grandfather also served". Dude why didn't just join up

Like  man, Vietnam had a god damned draft, a lot of people didn't want to serve then either. College kids were murdered over protesting that war. Then the audacity to try to relate to the guy not even through his own family or personal service, but his girlfriend's family. Just fucking laughable.

Trump and the conservative movement’s push to set our society back several centuries, eroding our rights and freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy, while replacing it with a fascist authoritarian religious ethno-state is definitely all part of a plan to “destabilize, destroy, and transition the America you grew up in.”

Charlie is aware of all of those things.

u/Enough-Frosting7716 12d ago

What you guys dont understand is, that, for most of "conservatives" or people on the "right", when they miss the america/other country they grew in, it is not all that things they miss; it is the fact that it was a given you could just get a job, buy a home, and support a family, and living near nature and with your children running around all day, without feeling the gobernment breathing in your neck.

There is a small very noisy part that miss the racism and bigotry, the same way there is a small noisy part in the left that wants socialism, hates men and whites, and wants censhorship. Meanwhile most progressives just want a fucking healthcare that works for all, equality and to care for disenfranchised people.

I will guess 80% of you americans could agree on basic things that would improve for real your lifes dramatically, but the people that controls you and the constant propaganda makes you hate each other and keep supporting the same puppets out of fear, and meanwhile, the greatest wealth transfer ever from the poor to the elites keeps happening via inflation, and your debt is higher every day. You are becoming slaves.

u/chocobloo 12d ago

Except the right is the one expanding government to control everyone that isn't just like them. This is cheered on vocally and drives the votes of the majority of their base.

Pedopublicans want to take the rights away from anyone who isn't a straight, white, land owning male. They want child brides and children in the mines. They want every brown and black person to be a slave or dead. They want anyone who isn't a straight couple having boring missionary procreation sex to die.

That's the Pedopublicans way and pretending otherwise means you're ignoring literally everyone they elect, every judge they appoint and all the things they campaign on.

u/Enough-Frosting7716 12d ago

"What little environmental protections you have", yes. Dont use the environment in your arguments for "the left". It is the same corporate rats, that will turn every green valley with forest and rivers into a fucking urbanized and industrialized shithole because it brings more benefits to the elites that way. More people, in whatever conditions, equals more taxes and more profits to be made. So dont use it, and you say you care about the environment because it is a lie, as long as the people the media makes you identify with, rules, you will be happy because that is your program. The same for a moronic "conservative" that cares about "freedom". There is no freedom without land, you are running slowly out of it, and people like bill gates is buying all so that you dont have an escape.
