It is an astonishing circumstance that when people talk about traditional and conservative they usually mean this tiny decade in the 1950s where things were different...and better? But when before or after that were things ever that way and is it even a reasonable thing to try to pursue in today's day and age?

The range of people pushing the trad myth spans from figures like Jordan Peterson all the way to Andrew Tate and beyond. Both of those figures, despite the differences in their presentation style and a couple things they advocate for, are essentially pushing the same message: men are worthless as they are, they get their worth by becoming desirable to women no matter how unreasonable women's expectations get, and you do that by behaving in a way that not only will fail to work for the majority of men, but will get you in serious trouble if you're not part of that minority of men it doesn't destroy.

I suspect (don't "know", "suspect") that they are popular because they are the boomer childhood era. Most of the people glorify their childhood, even if for the fact it was their naive youth. It had to be a time of blood and shadow for people not to feel longing for their snot-nosed days. So as time went on boomer artists wrote 50s into "far away happy days" and since they produced mass media, it latched onto later generations consoooming those pieces, now glorified and, important, unknown to them. Kind of like in Andersen's fairy tale, where one character fulfills his dream of "going back to the better days" and teleports up to his ballsack into mud, since back then streets were not cobbled. As I see it, 50s were full of hysterical adults, expecting nuclear war any moment and in shock from technology, hence the amount of science fiction with dangerous technology and alien invasions. It was alright for kids and those kids told others that 50s were based.

I'm turning 50 in less than a month. It took me decades of wrestling with wanting to become a "traditional" man and chasing them to be monogamous and a provider, and so much else. After being burned so many times the brain is reprogrammed so bad and so far past the point of no return that even thinking about traditional "dating" is pure burden. I have never married and do not have any kids. In fact, I had to start lying to people at different jobs about not being married because the shame and relentless comments about being "selfish" for NOT being married and not procreating or being "commitment phob." I just tell them what they want to hear and that shuts them up. Then there comes the accusations or insinuations of being "gay" because they don't see you with a woman and consistently with the same woman. The dating world is SEVERLY lopsided, and more and more men cannot haul the various burdens anymore to achieve this so-called ultimate solution to being happy and doing the right thing by "being in a commitment." Life OUTSIDE of romance especially in the modern world for people, ESPECIALLY men is way too hard and so many different ways that having the mental, physical, S drive, and economic resources are not there anymore. So much must change... at minimum, divorce courts AND wehmen's delusional expectations MUST CHANGE. I ask God to help us fix this because from what I can see, humanity is being swept up into a massive tornado of political, social, economic, technological, employment, educational, housing, and health chaos. Anybody's comment

[@chernobylsvideoarchive3418]

Much younger dude here, People are stupid and insane. I've had accusations of being "gay" after ASKING GIRLS OUT and BEING REJECTED. The rumours would be spread by the same person that rejected me. It's the "anything goes" era... As for the jobs stuff, it will become harder and harder for men in the workforce, although I only have a proper point of reference for white-collar jobs. There is no point to the office environment anymore... nowadays I only find it tolerable if no one is there (my company has the hybrid methodology, so sometimes this can happen, where I'm the only person there, or like 2-3 people). So the next logical step would be to start a small remote business or something, and that's probably the same conclusion many young men will come to. Even THAT does not really solve all the burdens listed in your comment, it just cuts back on the interactions one has to deal with.

The reason why the 50's are represented as the "ideal conservative values" is because that's when the Boomers were young. Thus this last pre-Boomer period is seen as "what came before". The media at large have been stuck in a time-stop bubble for the last 50 years because of demographic boomer supremacy, and that should last for something like 10 more years, tops. The average age of TV watchers is well into the 60-70 range now. And for (gasp) newspaper subscriptions, you don't want to know... Once the bubble pops, we'll see an amazing time compression in mainstream media and then "the good old days" will be the 90s, because that was the Millenials' childhood. That one will last until 2050. Then, and only then, will the 2020s be somehow yet inevitably seen as the good times.

I always saw "Traditional Conservatism" as the "Simpsons life script." A life script where Homer works while Marge stays home, they raise a nuclear family of 2.5 children. Homer can afford a suburban detached house. Grandpa lives in a retirement home. Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are expected to grow up and buy their own detached houses. I always saw Traditional Conservatism as this 1950s ideal of "a nuclear family with 2.5 children living in suburbia." Throughout human history and in much of the world today, most humans lived in extended or multi-generational families- which drastically cut back of resources used. 7 people living in one house saves tremendous resources over 7 people renting their own apartments. The multi-generational and extended families would solve a lot of problems for many people such as financial and labor problems. Problems like single parent families, drug use, poor diets, elderly poverty, and over-stressed families are caused by the nuclear family. The nuclear family isn't the solution to many of these problems.

[@DanMcCheese]

Controversial take, but I think what “family style” works best depends on the genetic background of the family. Meds, Arabs, Asians, Africans, Slavs, etc. seem to thrive in one-roof multigenerational households, or at least tolerate them better. Scandinavians, Germans, and Anglos seem to prefer more privacy and space. For example, “in-law suites” seem to be an almost wholly Anglosphere, Germanic, and Scandinavian phenomenon.

[@candide1065]

The Simpsons is an obviously woke and quasi-feminist show. Homer and Bart are always the stupid clowns who harm the family (especially Homer) and make others suffer while Marge, Maggie and Lisa are often moral and wise and never ever serve as comedic relief aka. laughing stock. Lisa is highly intelligent and moral and near-perfect (being a vegetarian feminist) and same goes for Marge while Maggie is also super intelligent and cool for a baby.

[@DrLicuid]

@@candide1065 They had decency to give Marge weakness to gambling, drinking and being an uncool khhhming worried mom. Overall classic Simpsons had nuance that died, coincidentaly, when production went digital around 2005. They were a dysfunctional (but loving at their core) family, all five, they looked middle class, but it was all a cheap cover as was usually shown by house falling apart and so on. They were constructing as laughing stock for the viewer. Also, they had male and father characters in the town who were not laughing stock. And overall Springfield was a city of limping dreams and missed opportunities. It is the later seasons that went retarded and shallow, and then straight on libtard.

[@candide1065]

@@DrLicuid I can see where you come from and i agree with your general idea, but I just seem to be more critical. I like the first 4-5 season but ever since then the series went downhill and is overall very forgettable. It's no secret that basically all the guys making the Simpsons were and are liberal leftists and pretty woke at that. They kinda gave Marge a little weakness here and there but in 99,9% of all episodes, she or Lisa are voice of reason while in almost every case, Homer (and sometimes Bart) is the laughing stock and an obviously terrible father, man and person. There are tons of male characters in the Simpson who are the laughing stock like Moe, Granpa Simpson (while Homers mother is some kind of cool, righteous, brave activist despite having abandoned her son which is sugarcoated in a more than woke way). Also the comic dude who is of course a fat idiot. The females are, on the other hand, always treated very carefully and pc, like Marges Sisters. One of them, the lesbian one, is some kind of LGBT mascot in order to show how inclusive and woke the Simpsons are. All that said, I don't want to argue, I just have critical standards and I came to dislike all these american shows who, in the end, serve the status quo and portrait more of what the producers feel is reality than actual reality.

[@DrLicuid]

@@candide1065 When I was watching it in the 90s I separated eccentrics and buffoons of media from real people and I would say that, for someone not as gullible as to take lessons in human nature from a sitcom, it is just a joke show. Stopped watching it after feature film, something changed for the worst with entrance into HD era, perhaps they started trying too hard, copying Family guy's unfunny "lets talk a joke to death" trick, perhaps deliberate inclusion of modernity was jarring, it ended up being dated anyway, those Wiis and Blackberrys. But looking back on why it was funny, I have to say it was probably because comedic presentation of inappropriate male behaviour is funny. Like a satire. It can be made an example of disgusting, or it can be made funny (but still not something that is meant to be copied). I never took it as "this is how men are" but "boy this particular Homer sure gets into load of trouble" and "that is not how a man should act". Weakness that can be avoided being laughed at. Rule old as comedy itself. But seeing how such media progressed in the last thirty years, and learning more about other sitcoms and appearance of moronic head of the family archetype in media (I'm not from USA, so my intake of sitcoms was miniscule), yes I can agree with your take that it has a taint of liberal propaganda. Maybe not intended at first, but written that way because that is the framework of writers' views, they can't avoid it. Later on it certainly became deliberate, things written into on purpose, especially when Lisa started declaring herself a feminist, that one cut my ears. There is a line between funny masks of characters and models of humans to absorb and judge others with. While I was never one of such, hence my probably naive post that Simpsons were just a comedy setup (guess that is where my kind of rose glasses need to be taken off) I, especially nowadays, have to agree that it certainly works as propaganda of sorts and people just can't filter jokes and models. We just can't have nice things I suppose. A little more, and saying that Doom provokes school shootings might just be real reasoning.

[@WilliamMcAdams]

@RealNormHall I *can,* but it is not something that is easily "summed up." But, ill try: in summary, tradition is intrinsically anticapitalist, and vice versa. Small example: an old Irish tradition was finding the biggest tree you could, chopping it, hewing it, and making it into your front door posts. The bigger the tree, the more prestigious it was considered. There is zero structural reasoning to do this. It was purely a cultural tradition. In fact, it's rather inefficient to the construction of a home to have to go find a large tree, chop it, parse it, drag it back, hew it, then install it to "complete" the home. This concept is incompatible with capitalism, because capitalism tries to "create efficency" in the market. Moreover, capitalism turns *everything* into a market, because money becomes the only common value. I could go on for so much longer, but I'm already worried this c_mment will be p_rged as is.

The traditionalists want to return to the happy days of the 1950s, however, that is effectively an impossible dream while conserving the current social norms as well as operating with the current economic realities.

For them, the creature comforts made possible by the technological breakthroughs of the time allowed for a lifestyle that was progressive and cutting edge. "Traditional" would have evoked a return to the 1930s where most people were living on rice and beans, working any shitty job they could get, and NO ONE wanted to go back to that.

The reason people idealize the 1950s is precisely because it is a transitional period. It's a period that held on to many traditional societal norms that conservatives like (family, sex roles, home/land ownership...) with all of the benefits of modernity (a large airconditioned home with space for a large comfy car, a TV, a dishwasher ,...) which conservatives also like. Jetsons in space if you will. It's not the later sitcom format that we transitioned to with "modern family" with two lesbian mothers with a son that identifies as a lizard.

There are communities that maintain traditional values, but are integrated/integrating with technology. Mennonites, for example. They might be more of a "rural Southern" thing, but they exist. They typically run farming communities (albeit, corporate farms), and have very traditional family structure. Husbands and sons work the fields, wives and daughters process crops. They use modern farming tech (tractors, those big watering machines, combines, crop dusters, etc.) and make tons of money doing it. They are close-knit, niche Protestant, community. They allow tech in their homes, but it's typically under the jurisdiction of the father. They also have communal meals at the end of the work days, where all the Mennonite families come together and eat a big meal. Traditional and Technology aren't opposed, intrinsically.

@@unknowninfinium4353 as an atheist I wouldn’t say a belief in god or meeting at a building once a week to discuss a book is the make or break. It’s something else more broad that you mentioned: a community with a value system grounded in virtue. Now we have individuality grounded in self preservation and self interest. Mens hypogamy (the ability to date down and in abundance) is kept in check by laws. That is, male nature is kept in check by laws. (And still is) Women’s hypergamy was kept in check by the social norms that came with a conservative oofy doofy. Those were deemed oppressive and since they were not laws, it was very easy to undo that. Compared to laws, which are much more difficult to change. While the government obviously plays a big role in the change, it must also be understood that the government is made up of people like you and me. Over time, the people in said government eroded the traditional oofy doofy and substituted it for the unorthodox oofy doofy we have today where it’s anything goes. An unintended side effect of this is that male ooga booga is still chained up by laws but female ooga booga is unbound. Social norms must return to restore balance and laws need to be more balanced. Probably would also help if women had to sign up for selective service in order to vote

Start 250 years ago, dismantle the concepts of the Enlightenment, or what Traditionalists call Modernity. Also, Conservatism and Traditionalism aren’t equivalent. The former is simply the preservation of the status quo, the latter is linked towards either a collective ethnic or spiritual wisdom/tradition or natural law that will be upheld regardless of the time or period. Any political ideology or system can have Conservatives, even the USSR at its end days had Conservatives, they were termed ‘the Hardliners’ by Western observers, these Conservatives or ‘Hardliners’ simply wished to maintain or restore the USSR as is or was, whereas Gorbachev and his lot were the ‘Progressive’ or Reformist elements of the USSR. Conservatism in the American context is just simply an allegiance to Liberalism (Classical) or any new strain as it develops. Which is why any Traditionalist has to be against the U.S. Constitution, the very notion of America itself, making one a Reactionary. Edit: Steven Crowder and any of his ilk are simply confused Liberals at the end of the day, attempting to put together two incompatible systems. If they understood their predicament, they would dispense with Traditionalism as they realise where the values of the nation lies (deifying the Constitution or Americanism and what it entails).

Manospher redpillers and boomers) usually viewed the 50s as the time when "men were men" even though if they saw the same manners in a modern day man, they would have called him a beta effeminate male.

Hazony's "Conservativism" is a good place to go, also. I think you're on good terms with Dave the Distributist, so this should be something you can easily pickup. What can we boil traditionalism down to? The first thing is filial orientation. Life in regard to duties and desires fulfilled in an extended family network. Respect for those now dead, and preparation for those yet to come. Religious observation, which is pretty self explained; values and morals derive from it, as well as meaningfulness and motivation for facing the suffering inevitable in life. For any rebuttals to this, see the rising rates of deaths from despair in our secular times. And really thats about it.

Well of course everyone has a different idea of traditionalism. But one easy thing that holds us together isn't really a definition at all: the resistance to the apparent mania for changing *everything* that people took for granted for millennia (not just in the 50s): - the differences between the genders - that the sexes existed at all - the positive view of our tribe/country/culture - that the vows of marriage are made before God and the community, and that if you break those vows then you've betrayed both. - that marriage is a way of organising the procreation and care of children (rather than men just running around impregnating women & then playing no part in the nurturing of the child, or women just reproducing with the "alphas" or say 5% of males) - any belief in God - the idea (slowly developed) that politicians should represent small groups of us (rather than being ruled by the rich , or by a despot, or by a world government where our vote is so diluted by billions of others that it is meaningless) Marriage is just one part of it, not the whole. But there is a movement to dismantle all of this. Of course going back to a traditional marriage is all but impossible in the current age: where communities are different; where we are bombarded with messages about sex, love & marriage that make it impossible for each one of us to NOT compare ourselves with people living hedonistic or exciting lives; and where house prices assume that both members of a couple are working and earning big bucks

You don't want anything to get better because you know you will be left behind.

[@thebarkingsnail]

Small scope. You want conservativatism? You're goingnto have to go beyond, say.. Pat Buchanan. Given his name, he wasn't what the founding fathers would consider a "free white man of good character." Most anglos only considered anglos as such. Have to get past the Bob Whittaker types. Beyond the Founding Fathers. The French revolution. Beyond the Edict of Milan.

Definitely beyond a vintage Sears catalog cover.

You know heck of a lot more about it than I do. I hear the phrase trad con a lot I think mostly on this channel though. I think I'm done trying to live like we we're I'm going to respond to what has happened with experience.

I think the closest I would go to preserve a time period before it fell is maybe 2007.

I'm curious to know your thoughts on men developing sexual confidence in today's world?

[@onemanschorus12]

It's conformity to the status quo.

[@Ergeniz]

The only consistent status quo I see is capitulation to women.

[@feliz2892]

What the did they try conserve ?

[@clarkkent8286]

Sadly I bought into the whole traditionalist bullshit for the bulk of my life

[@darkbugo7212]

They are trying to define what it ought to be. It is a misconception that women didn't work. At least the non-elite women, who had to help the husband somehow, at home, in the fields, they had to contribute. And people are trying to define what a man or woman should do with their time. Like things are not evolving naturally..

[@christusrex334]

I think where tradcons go wrong is they embody the niche aspects of what the past culture holds, where as I think it would be best to promote the ideals that made that time period so prosperous, such as the nuclear family, cohesive homogenous communities with a singular goal, strong work ethic, good faith actors and above all a reason to be which many no longer have.
