Maybe not 1923 exactly, but you can look at Europe in that time... That was right around the time Mussolini got to power, and why? Because of white males (and more) facing a cost of living crisis. America at that time had the "golden 20s", true, but then you go a few years later and the fucking great depression starts, probably the biggest cost of living crisis there was.

And then also compare the standard of living from that time with now, even though we are struggling, our standard of living in general is much better than it was at that time due to technology and other factors.

Right in the middle between two world wars you're going to experience and probably die in.

I'm not saying you are wrong in the sense that all is good now, and that it doesn't suck majorly for a lot of people, all I'm saying is that I think you overestimate how good the past was.
