I still think about my white coworker who said that the 1920s were the best times. And I had to remind him his mixed wife and kids would disagree with him.
Let me guess, he's probably enjoys drinking alcohol too.
...but Gatsby! and flapper dresses! and wealthy industrialists!
It's all vibes from people painfully ignorant of the time they yearn for.
It’s like when people read or watch a period drama that takes place before the 20th century and then they wish they were born back then. They forget that they would be born as a peasant or slave working the fields or mines and every decade they and their sons are forced into the meat grinder of war.
