When people wax poetic about awful shit that was “harmless” what they are really upset about is that “it was harmful to a group of people it used to be ok to harm and I wish I could harm them again”
I was in a bar i used to hang out in almost 20 years ago. It was kinda weird to see the same people still sitting there. There were two guys on my table that i knew from back then, but even then, not too well. They talked about how these days, they can’t say anything anymore, not like in the good old days. They said it over and over, just phrased it differently every time. So i asked: sorry, but what can’t you say anymore.
One of them shrugged and said: you know, things that were okay in the good old days?
Like what?
Things.
You want to be racist and homophobic, which by the way you still can, but you don’t want to deal with the repercussions.
It used to be okay
FOR YOU!!
I find that people who use the word woke as an insult don’t really understand what it means.
yeah, and then they are like “wake up sheeple” and i’m like “make up your mind”
1978! Wtf?
Wait until you find out that Butlins was still running the stage show in 1989.
Hi-de-hi campers!
Hi-de-hi, racists!
Yes, you think this was some piece of ancient history and it really wasn’t. I don’t think I ever saw it as my folks wouldn’t allow it and my Dad’s parents would have got a flea in their ear if it was on when we were round but they enjoyed The Good Old Days and The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, which also invoked the old variety show or working men’s club spirit.
