So despite the images in my post, this feeling of declining values is not limited to white populations
Maybe so, but the 1950s was rife with bigotry, segregation, and unfairness.
Many who want a return to the 1950s do so out of a feeling of loss of power, because the playing field being balanced feels like they are losing rather than other people finally gaining what they were denied.
Life was not better then for someone of the "wrong" colour, race, religion, sexuality, or lifestyle.
OK - I see. Your comments appear to be focused on US history makerhack - the 1950's were a time for prosperity for much of the western world not just the US. I am sorry the pictures were all US based - put it down to the US being a powerhouse in film and media during this time.
The 50s were a bad time for the UK. There was still post-war rationing, racism was rife (leading to riots), and good housing was scarce, many living in slums.
An interesting read.

Yes looks like rationing continued into the 50s - but this encouraged backyard gardens - which I am all for.
However throughout the 50s the UK became one of the most industrialized nations in the world. Which was good for financial prosperity - but bad for the environment - pollution was terrible.
Good point once again makerhacks.
Have to go now though.
SK.
Hmm, you are a very patient man SK.
How do you do it?.🤷
