The Good Old Days they always refer to is the world where Adult White Christian Males get to rule the world, do whatever they want, say whatever they want, everyone is subservient to them and every other race, religion, identity, minority and female is below them.
Mild fascism was always “okay” in colonial-settler history. It was only when the Nazis went full fascist and started attacking other Europeans for either not buying into their world view or for having impure Slavic or Mediterranean blood did shit hit the fan.
For many of these regressionists, going back hinges on the ascension of neo Nazism.
Suicides in women in the 1950s and 1960s were actually lower than what they were in the 1980’s, so this is a bullshit comparison tweet, where the 1970s happened to have the highest rate and the tweeter is putting a causation to the numbers that may not even have direct causation. I could just as easily claim that vehicle fuel economy improving during the 70’s caused a decrease in female suicides.
Female suicides hit its lowest at around 2000 before trending upwards again.
You could very well be right, but it’s just impossible to control for such variables, so we can’t say one way or the other with a degree of certainty. Especially considering that a 20% swing in numbers consists of a mere 1 or 2 people per 100,000 difference.

It really is pathetic when you think about it. Such a desire to have people beneath them…
Don’t they know that this is still true, as long as you’re part of the owner class?
It’s not as conspiratorial as that.
All the voters are voting for their own individual fantasies. The politician just wants the votes. This is just dirty populist games.

I wish they were honest about their selfishness, at least it’s logically consistent. I’ll take that over their cult like thinking.

And then VTEC kicked in yo, and female suicides skyrocketed
Lol. Right? What was that, like 1997? VTEC makes women kill themselves.
While I can’t necessarily disagree with your correlation≠causation argument…
Better gas mileage probably contributed a more than zero amount to that decrease.
