Retvrn guys are so boring, we need a dude who wants to go back to the roaring 20's and prohibition so he can be a bootlegger and nascar outrun the cops with his flapper girl.

nah, medieval retvrn guys are actually quite interesting if they know their shit and aren't just vomiting up tropes. This youtuber in particular seems fairly well versed in the particulars of history, and it's a good way to point out all the capitalist realism we have all internalized.

Users here even are all just repeating that he wants to go back to witch burning and trad wives, when in fact, it seems he's pointing out that these things are actually artifacts of the modern age we have retroactively applied anachronistically. That a world is possible without these reactionary things, it existed before and it can exist again.

The best counter to the false narrative of the past that reactionaries invent is with true narratives of the past that dispel these myths and ahistorical misunderstandings.

But what if I still want to be a bootlegger with my shotgun gal?

and also there are 50's rockabilly guys but 99% of them are virulent racists

You're forgetting this famous guy

for me 1900; fight in WW1, roaring 20s, great depression, fight in WW2, then experience the 50s + 60s in my 50s and 60s, enjoy my twilight years with the modern conveniences of the 70s and die in the 80s before all this internet bullshit begins.
