These kinds of posts about the Good Old Days are everywhere!
Pure propaganda. Don’t spread them (most of us know this!) They will make you resentful, then you’ll go looking for scapegoats when your real life is nothing like the fantasy that was, or is.

No. That’s when you were a child. It’s when you were unaware of how messy, complicated and hard the world (and living in it) is.

The thing you’re trying to get back to isn’t a time when Britain was great.

It’s childhood. pic.twitter.com/nGCTIDWXFZ

I’ll save you all the analysis: It’s propaganda. It’s ratfucking. These posts are all over FB and Pinterest. It’s a list of emotive glurge I’ve seen for many different countries. This is designed to make you resent. Then comes the scapegoat.

And this is what this goddamned meme creator did, whether in St. Petersburg, Brooklyn or London. Went down a list and threw things on. Not a thought even to real-life childhood, because it wasn’t theirs. Or ours.

I jump on these goddamned memes every chance I get! Last time I did this on FB, I got yelled at for “harshing (my brother’s) mellow!” Screw that. All lies. I never had that childhood, and neither did he!
