solarbirdI wrote this in notepad, threw it on twitter, tagging Fox News, all in response to Fucker Tarlson going off about white women being necessary to produce the future of a white race before getting more explicitly racist from there.
It's a shot in the dark, sure. But as someone allergic to nostalgia, I've been trying to understand how they're happy to flock to shit this bad, and... maybe it's this.
It's probably not. But for the oldest parts of their audience... maybe.

Hey, @FoxNews viewers.
C'mere, you need to know something.
Bringing back overt 50s/60s/70s racism won't make you young again.
Even if you took the whole world back to '48 or '75 - bobby sox or bell bottoms - it wouldn't reset _you_.
All you're doing is making the world worse.
-----
Even if you did it, you wouldn't feel like you felt at 15, or 18, or 24, with your whole GI-bill-funded future in front of you.
That time will still be spent. All of it.
All you're doing is making the world much, much worse.
-----
God knows, I get the urge. I've lost years of my life having to fight you for my very right to exist. I'm losing more every day as you gear up for another round at exterminating us.
I'd love to get all that time back, to spend on other things, but I can't.
And you can't either.
-----
All you're doing is destroying the lives of others in a vain attempt to steal some of your own lost time back, and in doing so, making the entire world worse for everyone.
Even you.
So STOP.
-----
You don't have to do this. You, yes you, can still do things with your life that _aren't_ wretched, that _aren't_ based on a hopeless chase for a half-mythological past world and _don't_ involve living in terror of others and trying to destroy everyone but yourselves.
Just stop.
-----
Because it won't work, and all you're doing is wasting the rest of your lives, and destroying so much of ours.
Bringing back 1956 or 1976 won't make you young again. It won't, because it can't.
So stop trying. My gods, just... stop.
