Why does it have to be 70 years? Can we do 10 20 30? Then I don’t believe the overtone window is that obvious 30-40 years ago you were considered bad if you bought a right wing newspaper, people would stop talking to you. (Well at least where I am from)
Yeah, sure, let’s do 10, 20, 30.
30 years ago Black folk were being called ‘superpredators’ and blamed for a ‘crime wave’, the push to dismantle the meager welfare state in the USA was wildly popular, immigration law was reformed to militarize the border and deportation, being gay was illegal in about half of US states… do I need to go on?
You are making an argument against your own point of lesser evils, we are debating if the overtone window has shifted. Which is obvious that it has. As I stated before media is owned by the wealthy even state owned media is controlled by the wealthy, they set the narrative, why do you think that they write and talk about super predators, so that becomes the agenda. And not that coperate america is fucking over the working class, and the politicians aren’t doing jack shit about it.

What.
You need to revisit politics in the 90s. Shit was mainstream that would make your milk curdle in the fridge.
… who do you think controlled the media in the West before 1990?
The absurd ‘superpredator’ line died with the lingering effects of the 1980s crime wave. I don’t know where you’re hearing it today.
Sure, but that’s not fucking new.
