>The Day After had a profound effect on Generation X. Many children in grade school and middle school at the time of its release were traumatized by viewing it and credit the film with instilling a sense of dread, nihilism, and despondency in many of their cohort. It is postulated that this singular event could be a major impetus for what became the Gen X hallmark of being a "slacker generation" that espoused "whatever" as a life concept, since it was hopeless to plan ahead under the constant threat of nuclear annihilation.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_Afterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWctAwMH6Mc
>>519941241Threads is better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHoMSRZOS4
>>519941241>fiction, and Gen X believes it is "science"The book was written by a physician, one of the dumb shits in my physics class that begged me for a passing grade so he could go on to med school.It defies all the studies and the starfish prime experiment.
>>519941394Day After was a year before Threads. This movie was released a few days before The Day After and might be the cheapest post-apocalyptic movie ever made. If you went you to the bathroom when the nuke went off and came back you'd not notice any difference in the setting. Characters who exhibit no signs of radiation poisoning suddenly die off screen and you wonder where they went. The nuclear explosion is just the room getting bright. And it's clearly made just to scare overprotective momshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9cKi6f9nEE
>boomer morons got scared by watching le scary movie about nukes that are actually fake and gay
>>519941241Threads is superior, sorry OP
>>519941434>fiction, and Gen X believes it is "science"Gen X are braindead cretins what do you expect.
>>519941241>The Day After had a profound effect on Generation XNo, it absolutely didnt. We watched it and laughed, no one was traumatized by a poorly produced apocalypse movie. Did "a boy and his dog" mindfuck everyone too? Youre reaching hard faggot.
>>519941241That would make sense. It's not the movie per se, it's the fact that the movie was true. The movie was just the site of experience. >inb4 it's not really trueThe specifics don't matter because people don't understand specifics anyway. The visual emotional core message is true, you will get fucking annihilated by nuclear weapons. Honorable combat is dead, war is dead, the rule of great men is dead. It's all become too awful to contemplate. That is what sends a generation into cultural nihilism, if such a thing is possible. The faustian progress of civilization was checked, and it's widely seen as a good thing, at least in this specific case of nuclear war. I find the whole subject fascinating, are the social engineers right today in their odious work? Were they wrong back then? Very consequential and interesting.
>>519942355Not only that but it also ended the cold war after Reagan saw it and realized the devastating effects of nuclear warfare
>>519942355I’m so sorry you and the rest of gen x got raped by clown. Clown rape, they call it, is especially traumatic. Every day getting sent outside for clowns to prey upon your assholes, by drunk boomers and old people, it’s not right. The time for healing is now, it not your fault you got clown raped.
>>519942499Nigger I lived through it. None of what you are saying is remotely accurate.
>>519942499Reagan was SAG president. He knew kino
>>519942614Yeah, OP wants to blame everything on a movie and not talk about institutionalized clown rape.
Nothing is different now really. The nuclear gun is still pressed firmly against the world's head.>>519942115Although we now have glowies posting "nukes are fake" from Ramstein base to try to convince you that the Ukraine war isn't completely insane and retarded. They're gambling with your lives (including yours, Officer Jose, bases get blown up before bunkers) but they just don't want you thinking about how reckless and stupid they're being.
>>519942621look at these teens, they said it was scaryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7zQTVOZEp4
>>519942355Have Mormons taken over pol?
>>519942355>"a boy and his dog" mindfuck everyone too?Great movie, a personal favorite.
>>519942808>Look at these teensNiggro, do you not understand marketing? They have been using it forever. No one cared about the movie at the time. Sorry to fuck your thesis up.
>>519942763It's crazy, but that's modern war. Not nukes, this board. If governments and military elements think it's important to spam this site, the war is already here. Future war will use civilians and those who are not yet soldiers. No draft, no muss, they don't even realize they signed up. Drone bombing people like ender's game.
>>519941241Millennial here.At school we were forced to watch Schindler's list.What did they mean by doing this?
>>519942454>muh emotions>you will get fucking annihilated by nuclear weaponsHopefully, you will. Midwits and lower having an equal say are a big part of the problemThe situation is much improved since the 1950-60 cold war. Bombs are smaller, more accurate, and produce a lot less fallout. You can expect fallout from ICBM silos, Submarine bases, and underground command centers. Your biggest threat is going to be niggers if you're not killed in the initial blast. None of your pansy ass movies and fiction mentions that. Nigger will flood out of cities reaving and murdering as they go
>>519942912>Have Mormons taken over pol?Don't know, apparently they run the intelligence services, so maybe.
>>519942952we had the fairness doctrine and pre-smith-mundt modernization act to protect us from propaganda back then, it was literally illegal to advertise on the news
>>519941241Wow, I actually watched this like 2 weeks ago and read about it traumatizing Gen X, freakish coincidence.I can see how for the time it was very dark. There were also a lot of animations made by (((Hollywood))) in that era that fooled parents into taking their kids and had some really traumatizing stuff - plague dogs, water ship down, secret of nimh... it was definitely mass demoralization by design.
>>519941241I was 10 in 1984, and remember asking my dad about Gaddafi and whether or not we’d get into a nuclear war, was about the time that damned movie came out, it did scare the younger ones at the time but a year or two later, we forgot all about it.
>>519943139Nevermind, I didn't realize you were retarded. Maybe bad movies do scare you.
>>519943084Strategic bombing and chemical weapons were worse than nukes back then too. It's not the specifics, it's a question of what world we live in. There are no great warriors and no honorable defense in this world, only variations on impersonal mass slaughter. You raise kids on king arthur and star wars only to show them the truth.
>>519943390Why are you xiggers constantly seething over nothing?
>>519941241I was 9 when I saw it. I was pretty sure something would happen in the cold war and we would get the 4 minute warning and be annihilated. Either deliberately or by some chain of accidents. I've always lived near primary strike areas so never had to worry about "afterwards", because I'd be like that guy at hiroshima... just a shadow against the side of the building. I didnt really fear it, it was inevitable. I've waited my whole life for that moment and I'm still waiting. Don't make me wait much longer. I'm so tired now.
>>519943390>NevermindCos it's Gen X, HA!
>>519943155>read about it traumatizing Gen XWho the fuck is writing this shit? NO ONE WAS TRAUMATIZED.
>>519943526Methinks thou doth protest too much.
>>519943519Lel, it wasnt on porpoise, but there it is.
>>519943565Nah, I just lived through it, I can go ask about thirty people from the cohort. None of us gave a fuck about the movie. It is weird you insist it was a big deal.
>>519943476>I didnt really fear it, it was inevitable. I've waited my whole life for that moment and I'm still waiting.once again proving gen x nihilism over a fuckin made for tv movie
>>519943702it's not the movie, by outsourcing political will to stop WW3 to nine year olds they gelded the masculinity of a generation
>>519943698>Sample size of 30 peopleI'll bet terms like "mean" "median" and "per capita" absolutely stump you too
>>519941241Nukes are FAKEWatch the documentary:https://odysee.com/@Got42d:3/The-Nuclear-Scare-Scam---Galen-Winsor-eats-uranium-to-prove-its-_harmless_:5> physic professor who toured arround the USA in the 70s made presentations proving Uranium and radiation is literally overblow, to get it out of regular peoples hands since ist pretty easy to use for almost free energy.He also explains the properties of certain radiation.For example alpha radiation is just producing helium.It can't even penetrate paper.Radiators from radium which emit heat without energy imput can be radiactivly isolatey by putting it in a thin aluminum Box.But they wanted to get it out of consumers hands since they can't require money from you for that.So then every radioactive material became dangerous.Which people did not buy sind they knew in the 50s that only polonium and Kobalt isotopes produce radiation which can affect the human beeing.Then they created the Nuke scam. Cheap energy will be impossible because of that.https://www.bitchute.com/video/bOO8PGgN7Z2e/> THAT TIME FIVE GUYS STOOD AT GROUND ZERO WHILE A NUKE DETONATED OVERHEAD.https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2012/07/16/156851175/five-men-agree-to-stand-directly-under-an-exploding-nuclear-bomb> archived: https://archive.is/z8Vcf
>>519943702I think you misunderstand. I did not fear escalatio. leading to nuclear destruction at all. I expected it. So far as I was concerned the die was cast from the moment I understood the situation. So... overfly Russia, so... escalate in Afghanistan against Russia, so... have another blockade against Cuba... so fund the SDI/Brilliant Pebbles, it's all fine. I read the last page of the book before I started the first page. When the Wind blows.Threads.The Fourth Protocol.I've been ready for every eventually since I was a child, and it's such a long time to wait.
>>519944155ok shill
>>519942499>Not only that but it also ended the cold war after Reagan saw it and realized the devastating effects of nuclear warfareit freaked Reagan the fuck out and changed world history
>>519944155Making the claim that nukes are fake isn't going to get anyone to discredit this site when it comes to the JQ, Moshe. Youve been trying this for a decade now. It's not too late to denounce the Talmud and start doing the opposite of what Jews say. You'll do much better for yourself.
>>519944562what does it say to "the day after didn't freak ronald reagan out, it's just a movie"
>>519944831Reagan himself said it did
>>519941241We should be reminded again, so that hubris and pride does not destroy all innocence in this world.
>>519941241Early 50's Gen X here. It wasn't just 'The Day After'. It was 'Threads', 'Testament' and a whole lot of other ones. It wormed its way into EVERYTHING. And it was terrifying beyond words. The concept that this somehow turned Gen X into unproductive, thoughtless 'slackers' is ridiculous bullshit though. We're winning, keeping a low profile, and people hate that because they're jelly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or1UX7z8YBM
>>519944989hey man, I was just asking. Not saying it happened or didn't happen
>>519941241It was quite traumatizing.Still is.Cats need their skin.
>>519942942Is that the one where the guy has a telekinetic dog and finds a bunker full of horny women?
>>519941241I been trying to find info on this movie online and nothing shows up, not even on YouTube! Anyone got a link to it?
>>519941241>The Day After had a profound effect on Generation XAside from the glownigger tactic of presenting false information in order to coax your target into revealing information - humans have an almost pathological desire to correct wrong information, and glowniggers capitalize on that... I'm Gen XI saw this dogshit. I was not traumatized. I was not despondent. I am not nihilistic.>it was hopeless to plan ahead under the constant threat of bleh bler blergh blahHope is not a plan. Having a plan is a plan. You want to know what I have done for the past years?Dug in. Prepared. Used my military skills. Got right with the Almighty.Moved to the middle of nowhere. Got a small farm.Taught myself skills, then transferred those skills to my children - even my wife.Need clean water? I can build a gravitic water filtration system from a 5 gallon drywall bucket Need your water sterile? I can build a still. Need firewood? I can fell a tree, buck it to lengths and split firewood. Need food? I can cook and bake fairly well. Need something made? I can make it. Metals smelting, blacksmithing, machining, heat treating, blueprinting, finishing, coppersmithing... I can machine an AR receiver from melted down aluminum beer cans if I have to.Tar renders from shitty asphalt from busted up roadsNeed gunpowder? Charcoal from the willow tree is best. Sulphur can be titrated from drywall or plaster if you don't have a hot springs near. Drywall is everywhere. KNO2 can be rendered from animal waste - even human waste - if you don't have a bat cave anywhere near.Kerosene can be fractionally distilled from coal, just like ethanol from corn mash. Leather can be tanned using the bark from oak trees and the brains of the deer you just harvested. Lye comes from rainwater filtered through hardwood ashes. Mixed with rendered animal fats over a low fire, you get soap.Fuck you glowniggers - go ahead, drop a fuckin bomb. You'll starve in your fuckin bunker. We got this.
>>519947765OP link works on my machine
>>519941241I saw this on TV later and just thought it was some cool nuke movie People were traumatized?
>>519949643>Hope is not a plan. Having a plan is a plan.Based as fuck.
>>519941394Based fpbp
>>519949874Some kids were traumatized by fucking Watership Down, dude. Some kids could get traumatized by ANYTHING. I had my own VHS copy of The Terminator when I was five, I'll never relate to kids who were traumatized by anything less.
>>519950013>"Hope is not a plan" is basedIncredibly deluded.Hope is a result of a long term plan truly intended, to die well in ANY circumstances from a Life of Faith, it is a much higher form of confidence than in mere material matter (outer- wealth, weapons and inner beauty). Very awesome set of skills still nevertheless. We do indeed need abilitirs in addition to "the Truth setting us free."
>>519950013>Based as fuck.Back atcha brotherI saw that Day After thing when I was a kidMy reaction was:>Well fuck that - I ain't going out like that.>I'm going to live just to spite those faggotsFaggot OP is trying some kind of Great Value/Dollar Tree demoralization psyop BSShit like that is so obvious... all it does is strengthen my resolve
>>519942942yeah any post that contains "dog" and "fuck" gets your attention doesn't it
>>519951901You can't eat hopeIt might be nice to have around IF you've plannedBut sitting and saying >"Gosh I sure HOPE the commie fuckheads (with cartel support) don't truck bomb the Alameda Coast Guard station despite just having done a dry run with a UHaul long after all the protesters have gone away and now they know what the ROE is for the feds..." will just get you turned into blood mist.
>>519949643>>519950013"A failure to plan is a plan to fail"Yet eventually (and at the same time)..."Preparedness is old, let come what comes Horacio"
>>519951901Talking about this guy>picrelWhat other purpose would this fuckin guy have to drive an empty UHaul towards a fed checkpoint long after everyone else had left the area? No Hesco barriers No sally port that makes the driver weave in an "S" so he can't build up speed>Gosh I sure HOPE nothing bad happens when I go to my 9 hour shift at the main gate tomorrow... bangHope is not a plan
>>519941241Was 10 at the time. Remember all the pre-viewing discussions, the post movie audience participation stuff. It was a huge deal at the time. Huge. Scared the living shit out of me. Why? The part that took place in Kansas city was the same hospital I was born in. The other part, in Lawrence, was right next to where I grew up in Tonganoxie Kansas on a farm. So, yeah, it hit very fucking close to home. Literally. I ordered the Civil Servants Guide to Surviving Nuclear War. Made a bug out bag. Knew where to run off to. Where to find shelter. Etc. Constant stress/anxiety. It completely fucked my head over. In boy scouts I took atomic energy merit badge in an attempt to face my fears. Instead I had nightmares of radioactive skeletons at winter camp. The more I could learn and read the more in control of my life, so I thought. Developed an interest in the Manhattan project. Erico Fermi became a childhood hero. Had a huge poster of him on my wall. No idea where my grandparents even found such a thing in 1986. Would scour library book sales for books on physics. Toured nuclear plants. Anything. Finally, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the Berlin Wall came down, and I felt I could breathe. Fucking breathe. No better feeling having spent the better part of my childhood scared to death of outdoors and cities. Wild times. I never felt so good as when Bush Sr took office. And him vomiting on the Japanese PM was just the cherry on it all for me. Good times at last.
>>519952544Shit forgot picrel
>>519952346>Preparedness is old, let come what comes Horacio"I have to go to the hardware storeGood luckGo with God and may He protect you and yours
>>519952544That kind of hope is lack of circumspection or concern or priorities are elsewhere or retarded or anything I guess but actual Religious Hope from knowing oneself has done Ethics is still actually an even superior PLAN than confidence in mere Material Matter.(Random pic)
>>519952811>Go with God and may He protect you and yoursThanks. May it be easy for you to be Good. And remember also that: "all is well that ends well!"
>>519952546kek when you put it like that...
>>519942942>>"a boy and his dog" mindfuck everyone too?>Great movie, a personal favorite.Agreed. Jason Robards was in The Day After too.
>>519942335Stop shoving things up your butt, zoomie
>>519941434It wasn't just one book of movie. The 70s and 80s was nothing but MAD and nuclear annihilation fear-mongering. I'm sure the 50s and 60s were just as bad. It tends to sour you on the future.
>>519941241This movie should be mandatory viewing in America. All kids need to see this movie to be educated about the horrors of nuclear war.
>>519942614>>519942744I am the one who rapes clowns.
>>519941241Can confirm that Threads scarred me for life and I must have watched it at age 20 too
>>519955836I know more of gen X was traumatized by IT and all the clown rape, than nuclear war movies. Im yelling you guys, it's the institutional clown rape.
>>519941241they live
>>519941241kikes
>>519941241We were told a nuclear war would destroy us. We planned for it, expected it. Now we know, our destruction has come from media propaganda, from degeneracy caused by the internet and trashy movies created by subversive oligarchs. The real war was on our minds, not fire from the sky coming for our flesh.
