Niggers. We have mall in my city, all the jewelry stores get robbed weekly until only the most ghetto Arabian owners are willing to open shop there. You also have Mexican and Indian cellphone booths, the other Arabian guy does spray paint t-shirts and there's a thrift gaming store there that sells knock off Nintendo consoles. Nobody goes there because it's constantly being shot up by niggers.

undesirables (niggers etc.) and also the range was always shit. always. as soon as you could buy direct from the brand itself, or you could get what you wanted (size, colour, shape, whatever) online it was over for malls. for instance, me a manlet, i need jeans with a 30" leg but in my cunt the shortest leg you could get was 32". I would have to get my jeans adjusted. That was until online shopping came along and I can get a 30" or even a 28" leg. i haven't bought a pair of pants in a brick and mortar store for near 2 decades

I went to a mall in vancouver last month, it was packed with people. Admittedly, very few whites, but tons of jeets and asians. Lots of teenagers too, but again, very few whites.
Malls seem to be doing just fine, I think they appeal more to the jeet mindset of needing to be around the hustle and bustle to get more izzat.

Malls were meant for high trust societies.

Malls are dead in places with no niggers too though. I think the real culprit is big box stores, if you're driving there anyway (which is the case for 99% of people in the US) you may as well go to a store with lower prices and a much bigger selection. My small city, which is less than 0.5% black, used to have three malls and they've all turned into big box shopping centers, though we've since grown an upscale outdoor mall thing built on a former lumber mill site.

Bingo. I quit going to the mall a long time ago because of the nigger nuisances. We still had one good mall in my area, but then the niggers petitioned for years, and finally they they were able to get the local public transit authority to install a bus line out there. The mall administration fought it tooth and nail. The local government also built the niggers a pedestrian bridge over a local interstate so niggers could more safely walk over to the mall. The mall implemented curfews for minors, but it does nothing to stop age of majority niggers, who produce just as much monkeyshines as their younger niglet cousins. We have a newer outdoor mall in-town and it's the same nigger madness. They didn't even attempt to keep the hordes out this time. The last time I was there groups of teen niggers were literally running around on foot whooping loudly, up to their lunch-time rowdiness. I'll do my shopping online, thanks.

silver lining is the closed down malls get 100 million dollar community tax fund to house negros in colleges after theyve closed down the malls. See: Highlands Mall now a community college for Negros.

They stopped being profitable due to the internet. And not just because of online shopping either. The internet fundamentally changed the social behavior of humans. We don't seek out "third places" to congregate and socialize anymore. That means places that were built around the concept of being a place for humans to gather and socialize are no longer viable and have faded away.

Onlline shopping mostly and it didn't quite kill but simply cut mall shopping down to size.

Our economy was purposefully steered towards breaking up cultural communal spaces and offering ourselves less convenience and variety in exchange for cheap goods that would become expensive in a decade's worth of time.
The mundane nature of this world is that much of the reasons for things you see at face value to be a decay or rise in things are actually forward-backward motions on a pendulum being played with by far-thinkers, the rocking motions of society being twisted and swung but all are attached to a chord pinched in one place by one hand.

They sold dildos, lavalamps, random shit. It was like a Hot Topic/Dispensary but for random things adults would find amusing from prank objects to LEDs to crazy costumes to sex toys to bongs and pipes, rolling trays, sometimes they'd have like a thrift-shop style clothing section with a ton of random shirts and pants and hats. Weird little instruments and toys, you'd find shit that you usually only see on infomercials back in the early 2000s there. Squirt guns. You get the idea.

I think they're still around too it wasn't that long ago I shoplifted a bunch of car LEDs from spencers. I did it right in front of staff and for some reason there were like 80 cops there too all in a big group outside the store, and they saw and didn't give a shit either. I knew they wouldn't, nobody gets in trouble for stealing from Spencers.

>>529483096
Amazon only became big once the mall was no longer a place people went to routinely for the social aspect and became an actual chore to go to. When you go to the mall on the weekend anyways, there's no reason to pay shipping or order something you haven't personally inspected / browsed in the store. You're already there, may as well buy the product that's right in front of you.

But once you don't go to the mall anymore due to all the brown people, then going out to buy products in person becomes a hassle.
