1. I love these early colorized pieces, check this out from early San Francisco;

   Not a single pile of human poop anywhere.

   But all these early pieces must be fake. Every period production piece Hollywood puts out now has forty to fifty percent of the people, “people of color”. I guess they photo-shopped all of them out, bunch of white supremacists.

4. I am amazed at the excellent craftsmanship of vehicles, garments, buildings and structures that were created prior to technology and plastics being introduced.

   Also notice how we are living in a world of spoiled idiots who don’t respect the past and what the hell they have due to the sacrifices of so many.

5. I like that they didn’t go overboard with the colorizing. Especially the clothing back then didn’t have a lot of bright colors, they didn’t have the modern dyes. Noticed several gents on the pier enjoying a smoke, one of the first things our nanny state decided to stigmatize.

8. First video, @45 seconds, watch how the preening asshole with the mustache, pushes the little kid out of the way so he can get into the shot. Must be a relative of Nancy P.

9. All those horses = flies. Lots of flies. No thank yew. I like nostalgic videos of the California of my youth, 1950’s and 60’s. Before democrats ruined it.

10. In the video of Piccadilly Square, you can see the L. Hill & Co. Chemist (drug store). In February 1974, it was a small restaurant. I ate there when visiting London on my first anniversary. I was two weeks away from my 21st birthday. I was in the Air Force and money was scarce. Pizza was the cheapest thing on the menu so that’s what was ordered. Imagine, if you will, a large pancake with tomato catchup smeared on top and parmesan cheese sprinkled over that. It was gross, but that’s what passed for pizza back in those days in England.

    Excellent movie from fully restored WWI archival films.

12. No black people, women wearing dresses, men dressed up just to take a stroll, no facial piercings, and no technicolor hair in sight. What a bunch of racist, sexist, misogynistic extremists

13. No swarthy foreigners. No muzzies. Peace and quiet. Firearms come in the post. Gentlemanly demeanor abounds.
    They, and we, have fallen far.
