Wht Gramps is like that

[Warpy]

This is a beautifully done, not terribly long video that shows the twisted upbringings that resulted in the late 60s and years beyond. It explains why 65% of us retreated into old time religion and following a bunch of rules while about 35% of us raised hell and put a board under it. It didn't matter what we did, by the mid 80s the economy had pretty much turned on us and we're all pretty grumpy about that, especially the bit about how Gens X, Y, Millennial, and Z are set up to do even worse than we did. It shouldn't happen like that.

Anyway, enjoy, the health and hygiene film clips are worth it.

1. Thanks for posting this, Warpy

I lived through those times and remember many of the things portrayed.

2. It's a great video about why some of us raised hell about nearly everything

while another two thirds were too afraid to stick their necks out for anything or anyone.

Anybody who's nuts enough to want to repeat the 1950s wasn't really there.

3. I ended up part of the 5%.

It was definitely part of the rebellion of youth but it was even more that I learned how distorted the "stories" I was told about what America stood for. Watching MLK, et al fighting Jim Crow and then the bloody Vietnam War on TV at night and, later, joining both movements against discrimination/racism and the war turned me into a leftist rebel who consciously broke many of the "rules".

Thanks for the video, Warpy.
