How come people don't look like this anymore?
Every historical photo I see from 1960 and earlier, people look much more healthy & masculine

Hormonal birth control means beta males started outbreeding Chads. Unironically.
Stacey fucks Chad but has 2-3 kids with beta each generation since the 60s.
This basically means the proportion of beta genetics in the male population has been DOUBLING every 25 years… if we consider how generations work, this means the current crop of men you see today is at least 4x more pathetic and beta-coded than men from 1950 and prior.
It was interesting to hear from my mother that she never took hormonal birth control and that she was attracted to my father because he was a bodybuilder who knocked men out in a single punch. Both white btw… but this makes me a rare breed.

>T-t-t-the photos back then were staged!!!

Yet people today seem conveniently unable to re-stage them. Weird.

These are both professional portrait photos. If you want to have a mental breakdown over that fact go ahead.

There may be some truth to it, but in those times, photos were still considered a formal occasion. You had to look your best, and they were often taken by professional photographers. Now, you can take a million pictures from every angle at any time.

The Industrial Revolution and it's consequences.

The last 200 years has been dysgenic for the human race. The discovery of modern medicine, chemical runoffs effects on the endocrine system, and the Green Revolution has made humans overall weaker as a species while increasing it's quantity.

Think about it, for the last 300,000 years of humanity's existence, how many people would have died before the age of 10 due to disease and random chance. How many men wouldn't reproduce? How many women would die in childbirth? To even exist human beings of the past needed a base level of hardiness and fluid intelligence of their environment. Now modernity has divorced humans even from nature, divorced humans from natural selection, insulating humanity from nature. This already happened 10,000 years ago with the Agricultural Revolution where you can see the differences in bone density and height with farmers vs hunter gatherers and this decline has only been exacerbated with modernity.

Human beings have been domesticating themselves for the last 10k years and the this modern age is just one more nail in the coffin.

Today's humans are just a compounded effect of these factor introduced in the Agriculture Revolution accelerated by the Industrial Revolution.

That guy had a jaw implant 100%. Lost weight, better style, better haircut, better camera and angle

But 100% his jaw did not magically spew out an inch on each side from getting skinny

There are still people living much like their prehistoric ancestors, isolated Amazonian tribes, the Bushmen in Africa, Aborigines in Australia, those angry guys in that Island.

True, but those advances can have both positive and negative effects.
If you went back a few centuries ago, especially to big cities and more densely populated areas, you’d find that most people were malnourished, infant mortality was very high, and the average person was at least 15 centimeters shorter. Diseases like polio, tuberculosis, goiter all kinds of other diseases, that are now almost extinct were so common that it you saw then walk around it would feel like a zombie apocalypse. Leadpoisoning, quack medicines and all kinds of unhealthy manners were everywhere.

I don't really understand what you think is wrong with this picture. Those kids look way healthier than the vast majority you see today.

Yeah sure thing bud. Jesus, why are chuds so obsessed with the idea of white male decline? Is it because an irreversible historical trend outside their control abrogates any responsibility to not be a fat, autistic neet incel?

While its true that shit like unhealthy processed foods are a lot more common than they used to be, we also have a much better understanding of health, fitness and nutrition than we did a century ago. Athletes of today would wipe the floor with their counterparts of generations past. Whilst its true that overall the majority of people would have been fitter in the past, they also were only fit because of back breaking manual labour and would have often suffered chronic pain and arthritis by their 30's or 40's. Poor people lived in polluted, unsanitary environments. Their diet was often limited. Illnesses went untreated. Even rich people often suffered from diseases like gout.

These are people from rich families, poorer people were always ugly

Men have better technique in my experience, because they know what to do better, but their smell and taste and skin texture is often more disgusting.
>>
old people in these pictures look demonic to me

and reading about their social norms and history just validates my gut feeling

They're not unable but unwilling because doing so is pointless in the modern era.
