In 30 years, reactionaries will be sharing TikTok videos and memes from 2024 and being like “wow, this was the 20s, notice how happy and well-adjusted and present everyone was?” https://t.co/ldFmxMgJT2

30 years ago this video would have been considered by conservatives to be evidence of degeneracy and moral and physical unhealthiness

I would bet money on it. It’s not a judgment of the truth of that claim but about how reactionaries operate. Many in 1990 would have had your *exact* reaction about OP’s video. “You’d be delusional to think there will ever be a time this is deemed good.” https://t.co/FHX0pRS9y1
