Jesus fuck. I was born and raised in Belfast, there's absolutely nothing about the experience today (out in 2019) that even remotely resembles the 70's.

    also the 1970s weren't some magical time for living a naturalist/naturist life. in the northern empires, lead based paint and lead based fuels were in common use. in the global south, genocidal dictators carried out brutal violence to impress whichever northern empire they were affiliated with.

    the fact that she wants to revisit the 1970s speaks to a great degree of access to privilege within capitalism, white supremacy, and even the patriarchy despite her presented gender.

    As another example, the Cuyahoga River famously caught fire in 1969. That isn't technically the 70s, but I wouldn't have gone near it anytime during that decade.

    The cuyahoga was only just declared safe to swim in last year. the bill that led to its eventual cleaning was passed in 1972. it was probably at its absolute nastiest in September of 1972.
