I guess so. This is from the article:
What the videos don't show is how bad racism was before everyone is able to record at anytime. Shows and movies were very streotypical. Actually since cancel culture wasn't a thing for not famous people, people were really racists in just everyday conversations.
The government's war on immigrants is very much like the war on drugs with were specifically created to target hippies and black communities while at the same time suppying the communities with the drugs they deemed illegal.
In terms of the environment, lead was banned in gasoline in 1996. I thought it was way earlier than that when I looked it up. Shame really. I am no a scientists and the results of microplastics in our system is still being researched but lead poisoning effects are very well documented and I believe the pernament mental effects of it can be seen in a large portion of the boomer population.
Lead was out of most gasoline in the 70s. It is still available in some, for example airports. The big thing about the 90s was that was when teens and young adults didn’t grow up around it. It’s a long term poison.
Lead was out of gas for new cars starting in the '70s. It wasn't actually banned in the US until 1996 (1990 in Canada). There were leaded and unleaded pumps all through the '80s.
I remember leaded and unleaded gas pumps in the 90s. We never used a leaded gas car, or maybe my parents did before I was born.
One other thing is the gas smell. There was a distinct odor of gas from older cars that I remember. Outside some places it was everywhere back in the day. But not anymore today. That is a good thing.
Thank you for the info. The 70's is what I thought.
Yeah, I kinda imagined this was the nature of the issue.
Not really sure how I feel about the implied argument, though, which appears to be that it is wrong to create period art (or ask an AI to generate a video) which doesn't include some (all?) negative experiences of that period.
May I paint the view from my balcony, omitting the mosquitos biting me while I paint?
I think the crux must be intention... Which is notoriously hard to prove.
It's really not. We know foreign countries are using ai to radicalized boomers and incels. So it's just safer to assume the worst until we are back in control of our society
Why does someone have to be in control again?
