In the end it is like wearing leggings or a low cut top etc. if you show your body in public people might look. If you don’t want people to look, don’t show it. That is why homes have curtains. People shouldn’t look, but it is hard to criminalize or even penalize looking at things that people make no effort to hide beyond social reprisals for creeper behavior.
Don’t open a stable if you are afraid of horses amigo. Some women would never dream of going out in a halter top- even if it is more normalized some men would never go shirtless in public if it could be helped. People wear tshirts to the pool etc.
the “simple” solution and the just one is for people to not stare or not be creeps- but my argument isn’t that shouldn’t be the way things are- my argument is that it isn’t the way things are.

If you go out in leggings, you can’t control wether people look and lust after you. Some people wear long shirts or wrap their waists etc- but at the end of the day you can’t control it.
Now to be clear I am not arguing that women shouldn’t wear certain things- I believe people should be able to dress as they like and the place I grew up didn’t criminalize public nudity so people could sometimes be seen walking naked or near naked.
I’m also not defending those who leer and sexualize others.
The point is that no jut laws on earth with present technology Can police wether someone is staring intentionally or wether they are sexualizing something or not.
We can work to create social stigma and values that teach people it is wrong or impolite to sexualize or stare at others, especially specific to things like breast feeding- but that’s about it unless we want a world where you can be locked up under suspicion of lewd thoughts or for looking at someone in public.

Lol. I think you’re right about the fractions being a major force behind non metric hate. Given the choice I generally will try to avoid fractions, though they can always convert to decimals.

While bemoaning taces has long been popular, and it has had a resurgence in coolness lately, simply speaking not paying taxes is a freeloaders way of thinking. You live within a system and benefit from that system. It is reasonable to expect that one would contribute back to that system unless one is a parasite who just wants to take whatever they can get.
Now it is more than fair to say you have issues with HOW the money gets spent. In theory it all goes to a public hood but in practice there is corruption, waste, and foolish spending as well as decisions you may not agree with.
Those issues are administrative issues to be worked out separately and do not change the principle behind taxes and how budgets work in a democracy. Vote smarter and be more involved if you want to do something.

So would god forgive Hitler? I find it dubious but I wouldn’t presume to speak for god. The idea of a man like that being forgiven doesn’t sit well, it’s uncomfortable and problematic. But- within most Christian doctrines- being forgiven in the afterlife is possible for just about anyone.

That doesn’t mean that what a person did in life is forgotten, it doesn’t make them a “good person” in the eyes of others.
It also ignores concepts like purgatory which exist in various sects of Christianity as a possible middle step- that one doesn’t simply die and get into “heaven” or “hell” in all cases, but that one can spend hundreds, thousands, billions of years in a state of quasi punishment and waiting. Trapped.
Often the stay in purgatory is tied to sins in life, with either all sins or sins not repented at times of death each having some “sentence” attached. Given what we know of the man it is likely if purgatory exists that Adolf Hitler would likely be there for some extreme and unfathomable amount of time if he didn’t go straight to hell. In such a length of time it might be possible to repent genuinely and not merely regret that your actions have caused you to suffer.

“Say sorry” or “trick” their way into heaven. Therefore IF Adolf Hitler were to go to Christian heaven, Adolf Hitler would need to genuinely and completely be repentant of his actions. Which again- seems highly unlikely, but with that said a general Tennant of Christianity is to forgive those who genuinely repent. The concept of the afterlife in Christianity is eternal, and thusly anything that happens on Earth, the entire existence of the universe, is a tiny blip comparatively.
Meaning that it would be entirely the prerogative of monotheistic all powerful all knowing deity who they forgive and why, and their decision making ability would be most likely beyond human comprehension.

.. the consequences of his actions. I find it highly unlikely that Adolf Hitler would meet the general requirements set by Christianity for admittance to heaven. It is verifiably true that Hitler would not meet the requirements of certain sects of Christianity due to his deeds or adherences he failed to hold.
With that said, the concept of forgiveness after death even if those who have done horrifying wrong is not exclusive to Christianity. Many religions and spiritual or philosophical views hold that a dead person is… dead. Gone from this Earth and that it is up to the living to keep living.
With all that said is it theoretically possible at least under some Christian belief systems that Adolf Hitler went to heaven? Perhaps.
That said Christian god is a monotheistic “all knowing, all powerful” deity. You can’t “trick” Christian god by Christian belief. Therefore if Christian god were real and assuming thusly that Christian perceptions of their god are correct, one can’t simply

So I mean… it is possible some people would enjoy and do well at some past points of history, it is possible that some people might like it if the modern world adopted certain things from various points in history. The majority of people probably not so much. In short it tends to be a case of “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”

Going back less than 100 years might not make communication that difficult in a broad sense that you could probably understand people and conduct essential conversations, but you’d likely speak strangely to them and vice versa, you’d likely seem odd, and there would be issues most likely in general communications the more integrated you were into society and the more you interacted. Go back much further and things become much worse generally. Beyond spoken language are unspoken communications. Manners, customs, laws, so many things that the further from your own time and culture you get the more it becomes likely that you would quite possibly or most certainly get yourself into various trouble even if you could form and understand sentences like a native.

Language is a huge one- even if you could travel to Ancient Rome do you think you could speak to them or read or write? Even if you have some knowledge of the language of a place, time changes language and even if you knew the classical form are you fluent enough to not seem like an imbecile? Would you get the puns and cultural references and humor and slang and nuances? Probably not. You don’t have to even go far back in time within a native spoken language that still is in common usage to begin to have such problems. We tend to take for granted and not realize how much of many languages like English are very modern. No, they did not speak like you in the 1940’s. Many common sayings and idioms and such didn’t exist then in English. There are many that aren’t commonly know to the average speaker that were common then.

But the thing is that even if you fit in another time, if their values and beliefs are more aligned to yours and you are in a group that wasn’t socially or otherwise in a bad spot in general- even if you weren’t in a position to be at the bottom of the socio economic ladder and such.. you’d probably not like it or be liked much. The odds that your values truly align are slim and the context of the culture and such are very unlikely- even someone with a PHD in the society and life of a period would likely have trouble fitting in and would tend to need to walk on eggshells not to make some slip up because they are used to living in this world with its many differences and things that don’t exist or haven’t happened.

Should the day come that almost everything is downloaded and printed at home many kids right now might be adults or old geezers like me and you might not think printing everything is as cool as it sounds. You might bemoan the disconnection or the loss of certain experiences or feel uneasy in the new rules the world works by. You may have trouble understanding and keeping up with the “simple” technology your kids seem to get intuitively. If the world becomes vastly more conservative many people will likely pibe for the “golden age of liberalism” they may see our time as from their vantage, and the world could become so liberal that even radical liberals of today would feel confused and morally outraged or upset. And one day you or your kids or their kids might talk about the golden 2020’s and how good we all had it and how great it would be to live right now- and if you’re still around you might agree or you might cackle at their ignorance.

we’re more effort- but it was just how it was. Maybe in 20,50 years or less we will have some technology that makes modern internet and cell phones look cumbersome and primitive. Someday maybe we will have some sort of technological telepathy. Who knows- but people today just live mostly fine with why there is today, we might fantasize about how things could be better but it generally doesn’t ruin our lives. Someday every home may have high grade industrial 3D printers and the thought of needing to wait for things in the mail or for a delivery will seem like a big deal. People will just print whatever they want and pay a subscription or for downloads or whatever the model might be. But as cool as that sounds, today, you live in this world and are used to it.

A lot of it is relative to the person. The fact is just like people have often looked backwards or forwards in time and yearned for a “better time” there are people in just about every single time who have been happy and content. They’ve lived good lives by their standards. I mean hell- a lot of us still alive grew up before internet and cellular phones and many modern conveniences. The world today is much different and some things we like and some things many of us dislike. Some of us would gladly go back and others wouldn’t trade what we’ve gained- but we lived before internet and such and many of us were perfectly happy. Of course there were inconveniences that aren’t so big a thing today- if the store didn’t have it you could MAYBE order it or you were stuck with what they had. If you didn’t live near certain things you just didn’t have access generally. We couldn’t “instantly comunícate” in the same ways and had to use paper forms and such. Mail things, many things took longer and

So some people really might be happier or at least fit in better in another time. If you’re a person who holds religious beliefs that don’t allow you to take advantage of modern medicine- you probably won’t miss a world without it. Through much of time and history there is some group of people, usually males, who generally had things better, and if you happen to be a member of a group that had it better then a certain time might appeal to you if you aren’t too hung up on the way others are treated and only care about your own life.
If you don’t know much about things like science or technology you might not mind being in a time where people knew less about those things. If you don’t watch Tv much or use the internet much… etc etc. so I can’t say the past is always such a bad place.

It is also often the case as we age that the past looks better. A combination of factors conspire between our own changing perceptions and the changing world. We get used to things and then they are gone because of change. Of course our logical minds will often correct us- those “bygone days” weren’t that great right? So we often go to times before our own- again- it’s that “the thing we can’t relate to” seeming better than the thing we know.
