Despite what the media and internet tells you, things have never been better or more peaceful. You were just far more ignorant before.

Hahahhaaa OP's comment history.
TGWeaver
Life was simpler when there were more problems to go around, but fewer of them directly inconvenienced me.
CaptGunpowder
Don't forget manners. I kinda miss those.

How can the comment section be full of people complaining about this post but it still hitting the front page?

Your personal morals?

This is confusing, since Clint Eastwood supports trump.

You know what's more confusing? Eastwood drinking PBR

The morals and intelligence of this stubborn racist asshole?
OrangePanda
I saw this on a middle aged woman's profile on Facebook. This doesn't belong on imgur.
resetner
And you chose this asshole as the spokesman for intelligence?
HugNiceman
Yeah when was the first time it was a trend?

The problem is that everyone thinks they have them, and that no one else does.
URNSHOW
I agree. Comes from getting trophies, cuz you didn't miss the toilet, cuz you figured out 2+2 "All by yourself". Privilege is worked for.

What is currently immoral and unintelligent?

The Presidential election.

Remember when it was moral and intelligent to brutally torture/kill people that didn't fit in with your religion? Ah the good 'ol days...
URNSHOW
They were GRRRRRREAT!

Was?

I wish for the days of the morals where you got your girl by hitting her over the head with a heavy log.

Nostalgia as a political tool is weak indeed.

Actually it's pretty powerful. It motivates better than facts.

Unfortunately it's not, it's pretty powerful, even if the times it refers to never existed in the way they are evoked

People that say that, and in your case quote it, ARE STUPID, STUPID.

Psh, everyone else might say that but I'm smart enough to recognise my limitations. Not like you fuckin' plebs.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

You mean lik b4 the 1968 civil rights act?
CyborgScribe
I miss being able to rape our wives.
CrimsonWilly
Oh yea? When exactly was this make believe time of morals? When the country had slaves? Oh maybe when every town had a whore house? 1/2
HopeHubris
Nothin' wrong with a whore-house, as long as the employees are treated alright, but yeah, slavery and racism are clearly good morals
thehandsomedoctor
Hey what's wrong with a whorehouse? More safety and health than having those girls on the street
CrimsonWilly
2/2 no I got it, it was when people were just plain old fashioned racist.
Rapiecage
every town still has a whorehouse. Just need to know where to lok
graehall
The good old days that were good for exactly 1 type of person, and fuckin' terrible for most others. This tired trope needs get buried.
TGWeaver
Yeah, that's the point. It's like people saying race relations are worse than ever in America because white people have to acknowledge them.
graehall
Not only that, the poor dears have to be told there is a thing called privilege. Which they then immediately misconstrue & bitch about.
URNSHOW
Acknowledge what...? Their use of their "color" to justify "roiting" and by "rioting", I mean "loot" and take shit that they haven't earned?
TGWeaver
I meant that racism and racial inequality exists, in general, but hey man, you dig your own hole.
FauxFargoth
What, the morals and intelligence of the '50s?
lurklurkingmclurk
I don't think there has ever intelligence, mostly ignorance due to personal gains.
elegantmango
I like how it's a picture of clint eastwood.

Something something racism. Something something sexism.
LordNoodles
I dunno, we made jets and shit.
slamorama
[Check global temperature] Yeah maybe not such an intelligent idea.
IWishIWereNotAllergicToCats
Sure, and now we make better jets (F-35 notwithstanding ;). And AI for those jets which overwhelmingly outperforms human tactical experts.

Gotta look hard at the past if you don't wanna FUCK UP again in the future, but that's how the humans roll. "FUCK the past, it's OLD maaan."

I loath the use of "protip" it's just mean hey I'm an asshole and read a thing once.

Just watched Carter/Reagan debate. Carter having to deal with that kind of fear-mongering. Could you imagine how things could be different?

Nah I like to set the bar low so I'm not as disappointed when I don't reach it anyway.

willzyx1980
Obv ppl have never been perfect, but there've been times when intellectualism's been more popular, like Ancient Athens or the Enlightenment.
JerfyMcGriddles
They weren't popular with the laypeople then either. We just happen to have a skewed perspective because the educated wrote the books.
willzyx1980
Laypeople then are not the same category as laypeople now. Today the average American is both literate and educated.
