    …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.
