To anyone over 30 (preferably 40+), how bad is everything really, compared to the 80s, 90s, or 2000s? I was born in 2002, and I first sensed something was wrong around 2015. Did people before the 2010s really act this hopeless, demoralized, and aggressive? Or is social media just amplifying things? Have young adults in the past always spoken as if their lives are already over before they've even begun, or that their country is beyond repair?
back you go subhuman pedotranny >>>/a/
Im 40 we had hope for the future all the way until I graduated highschool, the housing crash and obama fucked shit up for us but it seemed like technology was getting better and generally things would improve. I cant even imagine being young now, I try so hard not to blackpill my teenage son.
>>532842335You really do have it worse than any person living in a developed country since at least the 1880s. Even the great depression had a higher quality of life, cultural innovation, new genres of music, and technology changing rapidly in your lifetime.I'm a member of gen X and while we didn't have quite the easy ride the boomers had, we could still afford a house, 2 cars and a boat on a normalfag job. But unlike boomers I benefited far more from the last 50 years of tech growth, especially the 80s and 90s where 5 years then was like 25 years now and everything really was excellent.
>>532842335I'm 37. The world is drastically different. Humans used to be much kinder toward one another and have basic civility. Nothing we are doing anymore makes sense. We have destroyed the world for convenience.
Worse in every conceivable way.
>>532842713Fellow ‘89er reporting. You can just say the US used to be a high trust, White society. It’s faster.
I am 41. but I am a retarded shut-in NEET so idk how the normalfag world has changed since the 2000s
*TRIGGER WARNING*https://youtu.be/RYbe-35_BaA?si=pv8GsH25Iiczsesi
>>532842335Things got bad after September 11, 2001, and only got worse from there.
Everything was fine until the smartphone, late 2000's were the dying years of a healthy society before everyone got addicted to their phones.
>>532842335I'm 32I always felt like I had just missed the end of a party. I was barely old enough to be aware of the final days of a normal world I was too young to really take part in anyway. I don't know whether you pity you for not having even got to live in any part it, or envy you for not being teased with false hope.
>>532843189:( it's not like this anymore
>>53284329248 here, can confirm this was the turning point of no return. Vidya was OK though.
>>532842335before everyone was in their own worldyou didn't feel the pressure of competitionnow that the world opened up everything and everyone is closing in on themwe were able to turn off the tvnow consumerism and marketing seems to follow you dailythe woes of the world and daily breaking news hang over everyone and its the latest gossip that you have to keep up withpeople were content being some bumfuck farmer from some bumfuck state and just living life on their ownnow that's impossible. you're being invaded, compared, and demoralized with social mediait fucks up a lot of people because people are social creatures and look for that confirmation of the group, now you can't find it
>>532842335you're not imagining it, it's really bad
>>532843577I don't know, I felt things were...somewhat normal in the 00's and early 2010s. Or maybe that's because I have no frame of reference as to what it was like before. I wasn't exactly a normal kid.
>>532842335>playing outside riding bikes with friends who would knock at your door unannounced >all white apart from very few token minorities>money went much further>products were much better>people were real(er)>no blue light>sun was yellow, not white>things were more colourfult. '95
>>532842335Everything before 9/11 was better. It had all kinds of problems, and I could complain all day about what I hated, but comparing growing up then to growing up today, is like comparing a hot dog to dog shit. I feel a combination of pity and disgust for anyone born after 9/11.
Its really, really, really, really, REALLY bad. And there is no solutions even beginning to be brought forward and proposed.....We are simply all riding the Titanic down without anyone making it to the life rafts.....
the year after 9/11 and ‘08 were worse in terms of moral, stock market, that kind of thing. but the immigrants and jobs are worse than I can recall in my lifetime. the antiwhite racism has never been as bad either. and the girls used to just kiss each other to prove they were whores, not sell nudes online. dating was easier, could hit on girls irl, there were still some third places to meet them and make friends. bars were fun but maybe that was my age and lack of phones and internet everywhere to ruin ones life in a flash. the war drums beating is something since I was a little kid, iran sometimes iraq, was always two weeks away from zomg weapons of mass destruction, nothing ever happens (unless it does, which is rare). food used to be cheaper too, housing too, it’s getting untenable and if there really is a global famine, probably won’t be, but if, it could be pretty bad in some places (which would be good for other places). overall, could be worse but it’s not ideal, not great. I feel sorry for the youth that lost crucial years to covid madness, and the last few years circling the drain. can’t imagine dating now. but like, could be worse. dust bowl and great depression was worse I would guess, would suck to be drafted to vietnam but also, sucks to suck plenty of ways to dodge. so I dunno, don’t get drafted in the upcoming war for ((them)), keep your job if you got one, save, invest, try to buy a cheap home, try to find a girl worth dating that likes you back, gl. just hunker down. it’s not that bad but it was better to be honest.
>>532843908No they definitely were. I would say by 2013 or so is when I gave up hope that anything would ever go back to not being fake and gay.
>>532842335>>532842599>we had hope for the future this is the most important thing that was stolen from us. and it wasn't just growing up. adults had plans, were excited to tell you what they had going on for the weekend, thought the culture would just keep this sky rocketing rise.
I'm only 29 but I live and grew up in a 90%+ White state. Now its close to 50%. I'm a stranger in my own neighborhood. Went to a vacation town I used to goto every summer growing up the other week ago. I was the only White person there.
actually oldfag hereit's,... it's just that, it's over, is alleverything that was great is ruined, even many statues that would have outlasted us allthread theme: https://youtu.be/lGf2b1H91JA
I turned 30 recently. The quiet walk up to my old school now has a homeless camp and they're setting up an IPAS centre in the woods nearby. I doubt kids can even imagine things being better.
>>532842335The 80s were kinda like this at first, but then got better. We were far more optimistic because the cost of living was lower. Working sucked already, but the money made it tolerable. You could actually make a difference even if the job sucked and get ahead. Then the new tech was just cool to see improve. We actually thought space was moving ahead too. Now it's just all worse. Making a difference is often discouraged. Do your fucking job and keep your mouth shut, you're a temp. No wonder the young sense it. Even fucking stacking shelves is a problem. If you actually do a skilled job you need to be a wizard or you're treated like an appliance. Boomers want me to skip and smile like in the 80s, but they don't pay shit, and I can do less shit and everything is more expensive too.
Thanks for the replies, oldfags. I've read every one so far. Something that concerns me is how my generation (Gen Alpha too) cannot read. I'm not exaggerating, when I type more than two sentences, they go, "I ain't readin allat" because it takes actual effort on their part to focus on comprehending words for more than 30 seconds. This is true regardless of their political orientation or how they feel about you.By middle school we had cell phones, but we were at least given books to read during Elementary school. It's like they lost the ability altogether after social media exploded.
>>532842335Life used to actually be fun and the average person (or significantly more) were not total pontificating twats and had an actual errant desire for mischief and good humor. Women and men socialized freely and it wasn't all cringe and fucked up.
>>532842599Honestly, you should just straight up tell him the system is built against him. Just be brutally honest with him. Hard work alone isn't going to make him successful.The world you were born in doesn't exist anymore
>>53284233545 here, yes it was better. No social media, the news was just news, and you got it once a day and it was from yesterday. People where more considerate and there want all this political fuckery. There was hope.
I've really felt the enshittification over the years. When I was a kid we had tons of edutainment stuff, computer classes in high school where we learned math etc. Newgrounds was a lot of fun, 3D games were coming to be. People had mastered what came before and were improving on it.You can tell mostly with how people interacted on a daily basis. When it was all whites most interactions would talk about hopes and dreams of the future, or about something they made or a skill they learned. Just in everyday conversation with no prompting.Now that everything is brown it's just Hi. *blank stare* Instead of a white man trying to sell you a dream you just tell the black customer service person what you want and they get it for you. Very replaceable by AI.We went from basic tech to 3D to the internet to......nothing in the last 25ish years and a flood of retards.It's not good. Worse because if you're doing some intellectual pursuit those dumbass masses aren't your customer base. Want to practice sculpting and buy more marble? Do you trust these dumb fuckers not to break what you spent hours making? etc.
>>532842335Some things are better, some things are worse. Country will remain broken until people rediscover having a community means not selling the neighbor no matter what.
>>532843802Good point. Women especially are constantly marketed to though their fucking phones.
>>532845027Young people not being able to read is such horse shit. They spend all day on their phones. It's not hard to read.Of course they certainly aren't going to spend money on books or art. Recipe books or skill books. Fiction or non fiction.Just writing that made me feel a deep sort of despair.
Everything is worse. I feel that we lost our way with idealism over pragmatism. Awful people are okay with deceiving others for personal benefit, and they continue to thrive without any punishment that would enforce accountability and maturity. Their selfish greedy actions continue to destroy the social fabric of trust we once had, and it will not come back until they are removed from society or left behind as a new society is formed.
>>532842335i was born in 19859/11 is such a brutal demarcation between "the before times" and now that people that didn't experience living in the west during that time would not believe the difference no matter what evidence was shown to you, because it would be too psychologically painful to acknowledge what was lostshit, even many people nowadays that were clearly old enough then to remember how things were are guilty of the same self-delusion, because it is too painful for them to confront what was taken from us
Nostalgia is the thinking man's disease.
>>532845306You cant build a community if your neighbors can't even speak the same language.
I'm 37 (1988 Edition). You're right to ask people who are 40+ because anyone in their 30s saying the world was drastically different is full of shit. Actual 90s kids only remember being literal children in the 90s. Being a child is a fever dream for everyone regardless of when they're born. Anyone whose teenage years started in 2001 and ended in 2008 has spent most of their lives living in the same dystopian hellscape that we're experiencing now. The only difference is smartphones and dead internet.
>>532842335I was borned in '90, the world really changed for the worse after 9/11 and yes to EVERYONE, not just Americans because before 9/11 it really felt like world peace and prosperity were within grasp with the new millennium as a fresh start then bam, the deadliest terrorist attack of all time. Yes there were terrorist acts in the 90s but it was shit like ETA and IRA blowing up car bombs with just injuries, none of that jetliner kamikaze shit.
>>532845416What do you mean? There's Chinatown, Koreatown, Somalitown, Little Italy, etc. People are forming communities all the time based on speaking the same language and sharing the same culture.
>>53284502732yo with a 2mo daughter. My case happens to be opposite because I ascended in social class during my lifetime so I left a nigger infested shithole to join lower middle class semi-niggers, which is like leaving India and going to Canada. Still a lot of niggers but overall better and overall more gay.>>532845027Don't worry, the can't read people are just the low caste of your generation, for millennials the low caste was the gay faggots and tranny lovers, for boomers it was the jew loving... Every gen has a majority retarded group of people with one major common defect. This will repeat for ever even during space age. Just make sure to mount on them and extract their resources so that you may ascend in social class and give your offspring better chances.I denounce the Talmud, I denounce the God of Muslims Baal and his fake prophet Muhammad. Pic unrelated.
>>532842335>how bad is everything really, compared to the 80s, 90s, or 2000s? Things started to go bad in the 80s with Reagan and Heritage Foundation policy (some would say Nixon taking us off of the gold standard did it, but that's a load of horseshit- it was Reaganomics), but the counter-culture was good, and wages hadn't stagnated yes, so it was easy to make money, start a band, and live your life. You can't do that now.>I was born in 2002, and I first sensed something...It happened before you were born. via Hunter S. Thompson (1 week after 9/11):>“Make no mistake about it: We are At War now ― with somebody ― and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives. It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy.”And the important part: >Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.>That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.
>>532842335I'm 32 and Everything was great until 2008. That is when it was clear that the world was going to shit.
>>532845350It’s got to do with reading comprehension, faggot. Sure, they might be able to tell you which words are which, but functional illiteracy means one has a reading comprehension at or below a 4th grade level. Approximately 1 in 5 american adults are functionally illiterate
>>532842335It's tough to say. You tend to idealize the pastShit will always be gay. I can promise you that much
>>532845462>anyone in their 30s saying the world was drastically different is full of shit>Actual 90s kids only remember being literal children in the 90sMust be nice to have had an actual childhood instead of having to take on adult responsibility at a very young age.Next time speak for just yourself, because not everyone had the same experiences as you, moron.
>>532842335The world got drastically worse from 2020 onwards. Everyone is lying constantly and shamelessly trying to scam and grift each other like it's the third-world. The word is a dark place compared to what it used to be. I've lived in US and Australia and Australia like it too now, and it never used to be.
>>532845836I know. I just think its a choice and not an IQ deficit, but I might be wrong.Also talking to people about this stuff is a pain in the ass too.>Talk to boomer"Well I'll be dead before things get bad">talk to zoomer/alpha"I don't care."
>>532842335Born in the 70s. Is it worse? Maybe it's nostalgia, but I honestly do think it was far better in the 80s. I was just talking to my mother (72) about this, and after helping her set up the smart TV I got her, I told her how I wish it was 1983, and we had 13 inch CRTs with rabiit ears and a knob with 12 channels on it. Back then you didn't "set up" a TV. You just plugged it in, screwed the antenna on the metal at the top, and you were watching local TV without any money going to a cable company, no apps to set up, no internet to connect to, and no rates hikes every month.Even gaming was better than. 1984 I had a C64, ADAM, a Coleco, and an Atari. I could get new games for a couple bucks in a bargain bin or even make my own simple ones from BASIC programs in a magazine. Porn was hard to get. You had to steal a mag from your dad's stash, or watch scrambled shit on cable hoping to see a nipple in between the curving multicolored lines.Most of your excitement came from hanging outside with friends, riding your bikes, going to old factories and throwing rocks at windows, heading downtown where it was 99% mom and pop stores and no mexicans. You'd get an ice cream for 75 cents and sit there in the clean air talking shit to your friends while you watched girls walk by in hot pants.Everything is so congested now. Cars everywhere, illegals everywhere, no mom and pop stores, filthy air, section 8 housing, jamaicans playing loud music all day, nothing on TV, video games are overpriced and unfun, movies are woke, porn is too easily accesible so nobody can fuck or wants to fuck, etc etc.I'd give anything to go back to about 1982 and just start over and enjoy what we had.
>>532846028Because the scamdemic revealed everything on the economics and social contract side is complete bullshit.
>>532842335It was all indescribably better by every metric.
it is extremely bad 80s were literal paradise. maybe this time is just temporary though and it will go away after the singularity
>>532846242Also the money printing used to stabilize the economy crashed the value of most currencies and produced a wave of inflation that spiked cost of living to unbearable levels which still haven't recovered 6 years later.But I'm more commenting on people's attitudes towards one another. The bonds of society have broken. Nobody has any empathy for anyone else any longer. Lying and scamming your fellow human is now cool and normalized. Australia used to be a relatively friendly place where people had a live and let live attitude, that's all gone now. It's survival of the fittest, everyone is out for themselves. It's a fucked state of affairs.
>>532843292>>532842335Literally 9/11 was like the start of a nightmare that never really ended. Like kikes still definitely ran shit before then, but it's like in 2001 they started a global campaign of fucking up everything in overdrive
>>532842335Social media broke nearly everyone's brains as soon as the algorithmic curation of content to be as addictive as possible was rolled out.
>>532842335basically if i dreamt about the world of today in the 90s i would have described it as a noghtmare about the west becoming a distopia and im not exagerating or /pol trolling
>>532842335Everything went to shit in 2008 with the great recessionit took a couple years for people to lose faith in the system and realize it just wouldn't get better, but once they crushed Occupy it was over
>>532842335We live in a completely different world. There is almost nothing left that resembles the world that existed before 2000.
>>532846437>Nobody has any empathybecause it gets you scammed>Lying and scamming your fellow human is now cool Because the ones that didn't got scammed and lost everything trying to live honestly. Like I said to OP, only way out is for people to rediscover how to form a community that won't sell their neighbor out no matter what. It's a lot like credit expansion and contraction with people making money on the ride up and making money on shorting the ride down except the currency is trust and productivity. With a real community you lose time and some privacy but gain near infinite wealth and safety. But so few people actually get the idea and it's so easy to scam and get away with it and people in general have so little impulse control that I don't really see the fix happening anytime soon. I've tried to do it myself and It's pretty disgusting how sociopathic the person reveal themselves to be once they realize they can lie and cheat to manipulate a group for their own self gain even when it's a detriment to others.
>>532842599My parents did the exact same thing. And it only made me feel more alone because I felt like they weren't seeing what was obvious. If he has concerns, be honest to him.
>>532844426>>532842599That really is the most depressing part of all this. The rest of us went through the system as kids expecting to have at least some chance at a good life. Zoomers went through it fully aware that they got fucked over long before the oldest of them even graduated highschool.It explains a lot about them when you think about it. It's honestly a little terrified of just how Gen Alpha will be when they're fully grown.
>>532846685Only good thing is millions of views on Ai Hitler speeches. There is hope in the new generation.
>>532845704Someone should really make a chart of the peaks and troughs of the flow of shittiness. It's definitely not been a flat line. Like, there was optimism after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but then it died off pretty quickly in the early 90's, then it soared in the mid-to-late 90's. Then crashed with the dotcom bubble and 9/11. Then recovered for a while until the financial crisis of 2007/2008, crashed for a couple years but then improved somewhat, only to decline pretty consistently until covid where it went to total shit(BLM), recovered somewhat, then crashed again.
>>532842335>Or is social media just amplifying things?Not just amplifying, it's causing a harmonic resonance.Without it, it'd just be more of the same old shit, just louder.
I'm 44, back around 1995-6 all of a sudden every average intelligence white boy in high school started speaking like a nigger. It was a pestilence, a catastrophe that swept through our culture thanks to Snoop Dawg and Dr Dre. The anons ITT saying it was in the 2000s, you dont know shit. It's been over for awhile.
>>532846214>I'd give anything to go back to about 1982 and just start over and enjoy what we had.I largely agree with your post except this. The thought of doing everything over again sounds like hell. Things would still become what they became. At best I would be rich since I would know what to buy. But I'm always reminded of the Butterfly effect. I can guarantee my attempts to make things better would only make things worse.

>>532842335it's bad>37
>>532842335911 really did feel like the world ended and never recovered. But it wasn't all shit after that. The doomer vibe didnt really take off till after 2012. I remember there being a series of memes and comics depicting how bad the previous years was and how next year will be better but it turns out worse. That went on till Trump was elected in 2016. Every one either embraced trump or just gave up on things ever getting better.
>>532842335I have literal visceral hatred for almost everything that's how bad it is.>>532842429Anime website captain Sweden kill yourself
58Life is vastly easier now. But somehow much worse. Perhaps because it is easier.It used to be, if you wanted to go someplace you went to the service station and bought some maps of your route maybe a week beforehand, and you studied it and made notes. You still got lost a lot, do were forced to talk to random strangers to get back on track. That type of forced socialization with strangers is maybe the biggest quality of life thing that has gone down, less connections.
>>532842335People were less desperate, less cutthroat, less zero-sum. It's a cultural shift that makes It really all started with 9/11 and the wars that bandaided the economy until 2008. Prosperity was gone, or at least, we've been told this is how we have to live now.
>>532844426y'know half of this is economic but a lot of it is also just cultural changes, like, nobody fucking goes anywhere or does anything because everything's online, and i think that might have sucked the aspirations out of everyone too. even if you unfucked the economy and cost of living and shit it would not stop everyone from being groomed to be asocial freaks from birth
>>532842335there were zero mexicans where I live in 1999
>>532844039>>no blue lightw-what color was the sky?
>>532847507>>532847570I feel like the Soviet Union kept our system honest. So long as they were around we had to outperform them so the degree to which the system was willing to screw the working class was limited. As soon as they were gone the globalists went nuts and started fucking America for the benefit of the global economy and their own profits at every opportunity.Also the retirement and death of the WWII generation unleashed the boomers to take charge and accelerate all their stupid ideas. My grandfather fought in WWII, Korea and the cold war and around the time he got so old that he couldn't really express himself politically is around the time the country really went into decline. Without their parents to keep them in line the boomers just lost all subtlety fucking the younger generations for their benefit.
>>532842335Everyone was looking forward to the future. What are you optimistic about?
>>532843908the early 2010s weren't normal.
It definitely seems a lot worse these days, but it's hard to say if it's objective or if it's the result of the internet existing and people having 24/7 access to a constant drip feed of negative information that gets people to click.Stuff like housing and jobs are definitely worse. Globalism in general has made everything worse unless you're rich. Life in general has really become amazing for the rich that are basically starting a new and final gilded age bathed in tech dystopia.Well... yeah, sorry. Things just generally seems worse now in all ways. At least you can download and play old games, and it's easier than ever to watch Japanese entertainment.
>>532842335
>>532849178Fuck I said "generally" a lot. Sorry, this happens when I'm sleep deprived.
>>53284233546 year old Europoor here. The 1980's was a bliss. An honest to God paradise. Of course, then the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, and my country, who sold a lot of shit to the russkies lost all that trade overnight. In just one day it all vanished and melted away and we we're doomed to a nightmarish depression. Nokia saved us briefly, it gave us a good decade of respite, but of course, the aftermath of 2008 found its way here too, and we've never really recovered since. National debts are ballooning like crazy, the Greeks were already forced into starvation, basically, and it's just a matter of time before even France and Germany will be completely fucked. That'll be the point when we'll witness Holocaust 2.0.It's been doing my head in watching the absolute idiocy of the boomer politicians. They basically wanted to be saviors by taking in all those rapefugees. I've never witnessed a Messiah-complex that bad. They didn't care how much it was gonna cost. To them, the downsides simply didn't exist. To them it was all just free brownie points. Same with the absolutely idiotic decisions to outsource manufacturing jobs to Asia and let their militaries rot. And the fucking attempt to force everything to be green and climate friendly within a completely unrealistic schedule. There isn't a politician in the whole EU who isn't a traitor to his country.

>>532842335I miss decent movies, vidya, and TeeVee mostly. I was born in the 80s. I feel like the 90s were the best decade of my life. Although if I could choose to live in any era, it would probably be the 1950s. Before the hippies and commies fucked everything offf.
>>532843908>I don't know, I felt things were...somewhat normal in the 00's and early 2010s.Things were normal before 9/11.2000 to 2008 under Bush was a massive push into mass surveillance and foreign wars. Obama got elected in 2008 promising to stop that trend and he just made things worse on top of that once he got reelected in 2012 he started pushing the racial division and woke nonsense that dominate the left today. 2000 to 2011 seem normal only in comparison to the present.
>>532842335I'm 36, I quit school at 16 years old to start working full time, and was thinking about buying a house as soon as I turned 18 and could get a loan. Houses were like 50k in my town and I was earning around 28k a year so it was very feasible.Then 2008 happened pretty much dead on with my 18th birthday. I got laid off with what felt like everyone under 30. Spent the next 7 years literally struggling to eat, getting welfare, then losing welfare because I was late to an appointment, then getting sent on 2 day jobs where you were treated like an animal.Then I managed to get a real job, things were looking up, started saving again. I didn't manage to get the house by 20, but 30 was going to happen. I saved 35k, which was enough downpayment for a house then, and I was looking actively.Then covid happened. So yeah. Pretty much never stood a fucking chance. Even now, I have over 100k saved and I'm further from owning a home than I was at 17, in real terms.
Everything is worse. All places are overrun with brown people, all the wine are whores, love is off the table, everything is more expensive, real friendship is harder to come by, the list goes on and on.
>>532842335Konater
>>532842335I am from 1996, I am not the best person to answer to your question and everything back then was far to be perfect but I am old enough to realize in the last decade there an evil intention to divide the population with hard leftist propaganda in everything and general defense of any assholes who ruins the lives of people.In the 2000's it was worst, not perfect but less worst. One of the most obnoxious thing back then was the constant deny of things who are happening now and who happened. For exemple there were still people denying the violence of muslims or that it's impossible that our democratic states use dictatorship methods.
>>532842335oldfag here… doesnt mean person who is old kek
The Boomers have destroyed everything
>>532842335really, really bad, and getting worse by the hour
>>532842335Who cares stupid nigger everything’s relative
>>532842335I like having AI
>>532842335It was awesome you knew everyone in the neighborhood and friends would randomly just swing by and you'd be on some random adventure for the rest of the afternoon. entertainment was actually entertaining. shit was affordable. you had role models instead of influencers. Zoomers only got to experience a fraction of it and Alphies will experience hell. my soul weeps for them
>>532845462Lol things were shit 2000-2010 but they were infinitely better than they were after. You're lying.
>>532842335We had this delusion that internet would bring the world together in a positive way lmaoEverything was so much better, except software emulation, but that's the only thing
In the 90s I wished I lived in the 50s in 2026 I’d be willing to settle for the 90s, light years better than now. 50s seems like utopia. Imagine being at Disneyland opening in 1955, thousands of white people in the crowd, and only white people. The only black people were props, waitresses at the aunt jemima house pancake restaurant in Frontierland, it was glorious and they knew their place
>>532849956I don't believe you. In the 90's we were looking at the future not reminiscing about the past.
>>5328423352008-2012 was when everything broke.r*snigger trash and jeets flooded the internet. Slop started drowning out everything. Everything good was immediately strangled and everything SHIT kept going and going like the fucking duracell bunny.Sad state of things.I'm 29 OP but I'm old enough to distinctly remember the decline. Everything just got worse, little by little, and I predict it will KEEP getting worse, also little by little, until everything breaks.
>>5328423352001 was the beginning of the end, but it accelerated massively once smart phones and social media took over. The accelerated again with the combination of PC culture, metoo, matchgroup commoditizing dating, feminists and onlyfans destroying family, rampant inflation setting back standard of living 50 years, and open borders immigration combined with AI devaluing blue and white collar labor.> you never had a chance> but history repeats> look forward to 2040s for the great reset
>>532842335hard to say since from my perspective everything is terrible, but maybe it was back then too. That said, even accounting for that it seems like we are really sliding down some kind of cliff towards destruction
It's fascinating to me how we all agree that 2015 really was the breaking point where things took an unexpected turn for the worse. I'm almost 39 years old and to even think of the world in the 2000s vs late 2010s is like comparing Earth to Mars. Completely alien and undesirable. I weep for the kids who only knew this modern hellscape, like my two kids who are both less than 3. We took them to Six Flags Great Adventure today and it was the first time I've been there in years, since like 2010. To see the demographic change so sharply, the degradation of the rides at the park, the reduction in novelty shops and games, it just breaks my heart. We no longer live in a high trust society. While walking through the park, I had a moment where I was carrying my beautiful 2 year old daughter and I genuinely thought to myself "we are like elves in the land of orcs." Hours later in the car as we were driving out of the park, my wife says to me how she genuinely felt like we were mystical creatures compared to those animal masses. It's utterly depressing.
>>532850053No we were seeing the 50’s in reruns all day and had family who lived in the 59s and we were excited for the future but the seeds of shit had already sprouted and we did wish we could have been alive in the 50s. We can want two things at the same time, we know we can’t go back but we could still dream. I also wished the 80s never ended once the 90s started
>>532849924>We had this delusion that internet would bring the world together in a positive way lmaoIf anything, after 20 years of toxic internet forums and social media, we now hate each other more than ever. Social media gave voice even to a bunch of worthless shitty retards who shouldn't even be allowed to speak their minds, let alone vote in elections.
the world went full nightmare mode in 2001 and never got normal again.in the beginning, it felt like we could go back, but it only got worse and worse over the years.today everything feels off, most people are zombified and the ones in power dont even try to create excuses for their orwellian shit anymore, as they know no one will resist or even speaks up anyhow.at the current point it seems pretty likely they will soon launch the final phase of their plan: our final eradication by drone war and total enslavement of the few survivors.world war 2 was a birthday party compared to what is ahead of us.
>>532842335Everything changed the year before you were born.
>>532850311Yup, every time I’m out in public the orcs look at us like we’re unicorns, we stick out like an angelic sore thumb in our Aryan glory. When we (rarely) see other aryans they too have a sad understanding of what we’re dealing with
>>532849199>>532842335Anon, I hesitate to give too thoughtful a reply, but there was once a time in this Country when there was a certain societal cohesion, a societal code, which even the outlaws respected to a certain degree. There were lines in the sand that one just didn’t cross, and while those lines shifted through millennia, it wasn’t until recently that they have been lost altogether. I’m 33, my peers and those younger for example have no respect for authority, and won’t even pretend to when it could be the difference between freedom and incarceration(e.g. they’ll show up to court looking, acting, speaking like a hood rat, outright being disrespectful and in contempt of court, rather than “put on their Sunday’s Best”(or at least business casual, tucked in shirt, take off their hat) and say “yes sir, no sir, yes your honor, etc) let alone make an effort to be more acceptable to society.There was a time when people believed in this country, believing its propaganda, thinking we were on the right side of history. That wool was peeled back some time ago, and sheared off by the early 2000’s. I haven’t seen society really bounce back from 2008-2012 recession, but the 2001-2006 state of affairs was avid pro-American due to the war on terror, very fake and performative, as if people understood speaking against it may well land them in a secret prison. Certainly there hasn’t been much “forward looking hope” since 2000. Some people really did grow up believing they could do anything if they put their mind to it, really worked for it. I see zero ambitions in that regard nowadays, outside of “social media influencer” or “podcaster”.You know, back in the day, you disconnected your modem from the internet when you were done using it, the original system wasn’t designed to support the always-on way of operating today. Giving everyone GUI’s and cheap broadband access was a mistake, a vital one. Return to dial-up. 28.8K.
>>532846028Kek no things were already at maximum shit WAY before 2020
I was born in 1992 and I feel sorry for anyone born after me. At least I have memories of real America and understand how great it used to be although flawed. Anyone born after me has memories exclusively of this country being a shithole and have never known any different. The worst thing is kids today thinking this is how things are supposed to be because it's all they've known and not being capable of having a vision of the future where it didn't have to be like this. At least there are photographs and videos of old America so you can kind of imagine
>>532850311Technological progression stopped in 2015. Allow me to demonstrate:>Galaxy S6 could do anything your current phone can do including VR>Intel Skylake could do anything your current PC can do>Twitter and other social medias dominate>Vine short video format becomes popular>The current GTA and the current Elder Scrolls released years ago>Tesla Autopilot released for the Model S>USB-C becoming standard>Back up cameras and bluetooth in all new carsIn the last 10 years what has progressed? Only AI stuff is new but even the iPhone 4S came with Siri.
>>532842335Here's why everything was better, the humble light switch. The design on the left was standard for decades.They were replaced by the ones on right and for some fucked up reason are noisy. Why? This highlights everything wrong about today versus yesterday because something so simple and reliable was replaced with an inferior version.
>>532850322Alright sounds like you were watching I Love Lucy while I was watching Star Trek TNG. Agree to disagree.
>>532842335We grew up with everything geared towards saving the planet. Now we get to see oil tankers bombed and spilling their guts in 4K daily.>>532848975He means the fucking retina burning 6400k++ LEDs
>>532850441Do you also feel the absolute internal seething from nigresses when they see you too? Particularly the ones in subservient roles like ride operators or order takers at restaurants? I can sense the rage in them at having to serve a White man and his family. Male blacks it's 50/50 which way they'll go. They'll either be really chill and friendly or even more agitated and seething than the females. Hispanics are just sort of there like robots that I don't trust. Asians (the real ones, not the fucking jeets) are totally cool and usually obsess over my daughters like they're literal angels.
>>532842335It will never be as good as the 80s-90s again. Ever. Just glad I got to grow up in that time.
>>532842335It’s unpleasant just go out anywhere these days. The food is all unfrozen Sysco slop served by miserable employees and it shows. They probably live paycheck to paycheck living with ten other sad people just to afford living in one of the big cities where employment can actually be found. It’s like every interaction with service employees sucks these days. Perhaps this is why so many people just order through an app and get it delivered so as to minimize the interactions.
>>532842335Nothing has changed for me at all mainly because I live in NYC which has been a diverse shithole my entire life. Everything people complain about today regarding niggers I experience in the 90's. I guess I was the canary in the coal mine. I actually never lived in the good times now that I think about it. We have a anti white communist mayor now so enjoy that in 20 years
>30si think the ubiquitous nature of the envy machine known as the internet was available in everyone's pocket. everyone connected all the time through social media. 4ch changed a lot during 2015 with a flood of politically charged angry people on every single board. and i feel like 4ch has totally leaked out into the internet at large. instead of being a source of memes it's now just a milder form of xitter somehow. 4ch isn't influential enough to have changed the internet like that. it's just that the internet at large changed
Social media and Internet on phones ruined absolutely everything
>>532842335bad but its cuz they no longer have full narrative controlif you dont watch their propaganda its not as badthe conspiracy shit leaking is why they are panicingdesu this regime doesnt even have a decade left
The country was flooded with an endless brown waveyou have no idea how much better it used to be before the USA was transformed in to 90% beaner or pajeet
>>532842335>Clinton Budget Surplus>Boomers take 40 trillion in credit out in yours and your great great great grand children's namesConsumer electronics haven't substantially advanced since the late 00s. Gaming chasing photorealism and open world sims as ends in themselves, apps and user interfaces only getting more bloated and slower despite processor speeds making leaps and bounds ... there was a lot of inner city tension (e.g. Giuliani clearing out New York, Rodney King, Waco, Ruby Ridge, OKC, Balkans, Gulf War 1), but you had Boomer parents with the cash to recreate the 50's childhoods they remembered. Normal bougie white picket fence NIMBY middle class existence is increasingly premium DLC favelaficated content.
I'm 39. Over the course of my life basically everything has gotten better.Blackpill fags are just universalizing their own experience onto everyone and everything.>I'm miserable so everything is miserable >I have no upward mobility so there is no upward mobility >I can't afford anything so everything is unaffordable Etc
>>532842335>how bad is everything really, compared to the 80s, 90s, or 2000s?It's hard to even take its measure
>>532842618>You really do have it worse than any person living in a developed country since at least the 1880s.Just LMFAO. What about all the people who lived through WW2 in eastern Europe? Shot is worse now than in recent history but not all that bad on an objective level, more like a mean reversion. tl;Dr Young people have it worse but are also whiny bitchest. 1979
>>532845560if only you knew how bad things will get. good luck
>>532850082>r*snigger trash and jeets flooded the internet.The internet definitely got much worse around them, but it had already been going to shit.The internet in the 90's was nothing but middle-class white people and Asians, and no foreigners. Computers were expensive and hard to work on so it was also a retard-filter. As computers became cheaper and plug-and-play, any retard could be on the internet. Smartphones totally fucked everything.The internet would improve immediately if they were banned.
>>532842335you never had niggers trying to make you only think its black shitskins that exist because thinking of anything that's white that exists is racist
>>532849340>commiescapitalism fucked us lol
>>532851168>What about all the people who lived through WW2 in eastern EuropeNo one cares about them. We are talking about north America here, not people who farmed cabbage for 100 years before WW2 arrived, and continued to farm cabbage for 60 years after.
>>532849956Memphis and Frutiger Aero design looked and felt futuristic, and the electronics were coming along to match. Brick smartphones < credit card slim RAZRs and Blackberries.
>>532851260>capitalism fucked us lolWe would have been fucked regardless.
>>53284233547. Swedish so a slightly different perspective because Sweden in the 80's was so white and clean and friendly and nice and even censored violence in movies. Holy shit, looking back at it we were practically amish. I wouldn't say it was great though. We were still boiling frogs and I've never experienced a happy family on a single income in a perfectly safe neighborhood. I had an alcoholic single mom like so many of us did. The timeline was something like this:80's - kind of cool in terms of movies and shit but with nuclear apocalypse looming over our heads all the time. You had literal dystopian commie countries inside of Europe and fucking Soviet. It was kind of crazy. 90's - a lot of drugs and degen shit. Grunge. Cobain killing himself. Jackass. Tom Green. We were all fags but too faggy and brainwashed to know it. 2000's - a liver of hope as internet got widespread but wasn't yet infected by normies. We started to believe in chance. We felt like we had some control. The internet was ours. We could say and do what we wanted. This is the closest thing I've been to experiencing real freedom from brainwashing during my lifetime. 2010's and 2020's - it's all fake and gay. Somehow even more brainwashed than during the 80's and 90's when old media controlled the narrative. Because we don't even talk to each other more. There's no real connection between people. It's all fake and gay. So unfortunately it's always been shit, anon. We missed the ride and the boomers took ALL our shit and kept it for themselves. They're the first gen in history that has sacrificed their children before they sacrificed themselves, the Covid sniffles being and excellent example. And we've never had women that weren't soulless whores. No wife smiling at us when come home from job. No paying for a car in cash. No buying a house on one income. No buying a boat because boat. It's never been good, anon. It's just been slightly less worse. A slow, slow boil.
>>532842335Things are better tech wise, but housing, food, etc are far less affordable, and it's only ever gotten worse.But it's not terribly dramatic, except for housing, that's fucked outright in any urban area. Father bought his first house for 110k, sold it for 170k, and bought one that is 180k. His house is now worth 250k, and while he's done work, nowhere near enough work to account for that much growth.
>>532851129It started in the 80's with Regan. The economy was turbo charged you could make a lot of money doing literally anything and the corporations ran to Regan and begged him for amnesty to depress wages and that's what he did. H1B same thing. Anytime we get a leg up on anything they flood the shitskins in. It's fucking disgusting
>>532850311>2015lmao that is way too late. 2008 is a better date but it was really 2001. /pol/ was already making doomer memes in 2013 about how fucked society was.
>>532851134There are literally measurable ways to prove shit is worse today with marriage rates, % of white people left, inflation, job market etc etc but sure the one nepo baby has it ok so it all must be bullshit. How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast today?
>>532842335>Did people before the 2010s really act this hopeless, demoralized, and aggressive?No. People started saying things would get bad, but things weren't bad. Then they got bad. Now things are good only if you reach a point mentally where you don't care about anything. It's just entertainment until the lights go out, and that's life.
>>532843189> we didn't notice how hard kikes were fucking us. party on
>>532851287Aesthetic fertilization is a zoomer fad. No one over 25 even heard of any of these labels young people apply to the past. Most things from these eras never looked liek your pic anyway.The 80s was notably very much a black and white era which is what fake nostalgia people always get wrong.
>>53284233540s fag here, grew up in the 90s at the perfect time to experience it, this world, from like 2008+ but most likely 2001, has been fucking insane, everything is crazy, it's truly a Clown World. If they do digital id and money then it's gg, hell world. let me say it again, this is all complete lunacy compared to the 80s/90s.
>>532851134This is a kike.
>>532851282>We are talking about north America hereNot what you said, but ok let's do that one. My grandparent grew up on a sharecropper farm without indoor plumbing or electricity, long after 1880, in America. Are things actually harder now?
>>532850840I was in New York City not that long ago. Even today it's paradise compared to my home state (until I leave next month) where everyone thinks is great and moves to, Texas. Texas actually used to be pretty great up until 2003, then we got a wave of niggers from Louisiana, then subsequent waves of various alien groups every couple years from then on until entire cities are ethnic, Californian, Indian, Asian, negroid, Mexican, Pakistani, Iranian enclaves. New york has always been shit but the other states have gone to shit at a faster rate so that now relatively speaking New York isn't that bad
>>532842335You will never know what it was like to own a Gameboy in the 90's.
>>532851577When you say "NYC is not that bad" what are you actually referring to? It's not bad I guess if you are wealthy but it is horrendous to be middle class here
>>532850795I thought it was because nobody liked me but it's reassuring to see that I am not alone. Service workers and people in general are not kind and genuine these days. I barely eat out because of this.
>>532851349>But it's not terribly dramaticYes it is. The world is a literal hellscape and worse than any point in human history.
>>532851473Things are also good if you're in like the top 20% of earners out there, and have a job you don't hate.The rest of us are kind of fucked, and have been since 2008.
80s
>>532842335>>532842599Nobody over 35 and certainly over 40 should still be using 4chanIt's embarrassing
>>532851572Sharecroppers lived better lives than modern blacks, that much is certain. They had a good stable family life, a home, put in a fair days work, had positive male role models, church was an important part of their lives, and they were fulfilled.On weekends they enjoyed live music and helped change the musical landscape in the south, contributing far more culturally than anyone born after 2001. So yes as far as "the working poor" go they were better off than now.
>>532851611If you asked this woman back then if this commercial was a problem back then she would laugh and say no. Ask her today and she would probably rant about how evil men took advantage of her or something. Pop Culture stagnating and leaning left really fucked things up. You could say not PC things to woman back then and they wouldn't care. I slapped a feminist girl on the ass and she didn't care. We were all casually racist and didn't care. I would casually say nigger and no one cared not even niggers. Everyone has been programmed how to think by the internet and it has really fucked things up
>>532842335My boy, as an 88er let me tell you a story.In our town there was a lake, called The Pitt, and families would regularly send their kids out, preferably with an eldest child, on their own, no parents, with like the 1-2 dollars to pay for the lifeguards voluntarily doing the work there.We're talking riding your bikes, walking, however far to go to a public area filled with people where people could drown potentially or get hurt, before eventually returning with however far everyone needed to go, on their own, with a fairly rare pickup if there was some thunderstorm or crazy shit happening by parents.Now? Now I see stories of people doing that shit and the parents getting arrested for child neglect, and that was in the late 2010s. The drop from a white nation to a non-white nation is dramatic and completely eroded any and all trust, from everyone.Could you imagine living closer to a city or something and trying to send your kids to the pool, even a school pool, or some such on their own? Just risking the fucking odds some feral negro or worse a jeet rapist grabbing a hold of your daughter or son?I can't wait to be fucking dead, if I knew life was going to be like this I'd have preferred not be born another jew slave. While boomers cling to eternal life because they got theirs, they've made life such absolute hell that it's both a hopeless future with a preference to end sooner rather than later, because it will only get worse.The chances of people busting out the guns and murdering jews is simply a pipe fucking dream and even if they did the damage is already immense, we'd be restarting from worse than scratch, if we could even start families maybe I'd consider it worthwhile to struggle for my kids to have a better future but modern women truly are jew adjacent at this point and completely insufferable.Life can fuck right off.
>>532843189guy in the blue shirt towards is takin the good stuff
>>532851653I meant walking around the city I still saw white people who aren't obese. It still feels a little bit like America. That gives me culture shock. The laws and costs are ridiculous but the rest of the country is catching up fast. If it wasn't so expensive would you still call it shit? Have you been to the south? I can assure you it's cheaper yes but it's also worse. There's more to life than money. That's why I'm moving to eastern Europe
>>532849035Nothing. I feel no optimism or hope, I haven't since I was about 12 years old. I think we are done, white culture like that is done.
>>532842335I'll be 45 this year, gods willing. Everything is absolutely fucked well beyond belief. I do what I can, but we're riding a rudderless ship in a stormy ocean with no relief in sight. I wish I could give you hope, but there's none to be had. The '90's seemed to have promise that I've never felt since. The early 2000's started with a downturn, the late 2000's killed any optimism that remained. It's just been a slow grind downward from there. I think "smart" phones and social media had a lot to do with social paralysis. I make $150K a year and feel just as poor as I ever did when I was younger. Every day I pay to gods that don't exist for a solar flare that won't come to wipe the slate mercifully clean.TLDR - We're fucked, son.
>>532851847I live in a HOA like community old decpid garbage people mainly old white/jewish woman will call the cops anytime kids come to our community to play while bitching kids are glued to their tablets. I hate these people so much its unreal. Their entire existence is nothing but staying home and finding things to complain about all day
>>532851891ok no offense but you saw a quick touristy slice of this city and have no idea what you are talking about. The entire city is down to like 40% white and Queens were I live in 20%. What you saw was jews or light skinned spics
>>532850844I feel like one of the effects of this we underestimate is that culture and tech felt a lot more staggered before the internet was in everyone's pocket and it became a necessity for doing anything. I'm a zoomie like OP, but growing up my folks still lived and worked like they did in the 80s-90s until the 2010s, because stuff that worked back then still just werked. I remember a lot of kids my age with white collar parents were like that too, and we were weirdly more behind the curve than the working class kids and then generation above us. Then in the mid 2010s the internet stopped being the thing you went to visit on the living room computer or the computer lab and instead became this thing that followed you around 24/7. It kind of stings because being able to suddenly watch YouTube on like your iPod felt like the beginning of something really cool, but now it's all more fake and gay than I could ever imagine, and I miss the tail end of the world that I was just barely a part of.
In the early 2000s:>everyone was Christian or at least LARPed that way>you could talk all sorts of shit to anyone and be a menace to society and no one would give a shit, they'd just think you're a retard>dating apps didn't exist>it was still seen as shameful to be faggot>practically no jeets
Shifting Baseline Syndrome is real.I'm a free diver and watched the coral die, underwater paradise became a desert.I saw beaches prestine and full of live, seashells, swamps. Now it's all full of garbage, worldwide. All swamps gone, all jungle. Only hotels and supermarkets. Everything in the ocean and on land is dead and gone.I've seen species and environments that you wouldn't even believe existed if I told you.And politically......for 20 years I talked with my friends normal, we called each other nigger faggot retard. All of the sudden they vote right wing and if call them nazis they are deeply insulted lolSo no more social interactions. Behaving naturally is impossible.Work is actually better now. Wages are a lot higher than in 2000 and there are more opportunities. I grew up with 12% unemployment rate and 3,40$ to 5$ min wage for working under the table. In 20 years the minimum wage by law was raised from 8$ o 8,60$ lol. Now finally it is approaching 20$ per hour.School and university seems to be a lot better today. In 1990 the teachers were all sadistic psychopaths with a fascist mentality. Abusing kids mentally and being extremely manipulative. Pressure on the kids was insane. Gaslighting and abuse through the roof. Today there is way less pressure both on the teachers and the kids.
>>532851847gramps please buy monero before eating lead. thank you.
>>532842335The 2000s were the best decade in human history. We had the internet before it was gay and the progress of new tech was genuinely exciting. Games/TV/Movies had infinite bangers. There weren't as many brown people.The decline really set off in 2008. Even after that it took a few years to set in that shit was truly fucked, maybe 2012-13. Normies didn't notice until 2020.
You get about as much money, nut everything costs twice as much
>>532851996I understand your point but when I literally don't see white people most days where I live 15-40% white feels like a lot and psychologically makes a big difference. I literally feel more at home in a white eastern European country than I do where I grew up. When I was in nyc, I walked all over and saw shitty neighborhoods and what have you, yes I included them in my evaluation. Dallas Texas is still worse, and places like Houston Texas or Memphis Tennessee are even worse than Dallas.
77 years old. Went to college, in my day only 20% of kids did and the ones that did not did fine. My first house was 30000 and my first car was a Camero for 3500. Life was really ok except the part I fucked up. Now it is total shit. If I had not bought a house 16 years ago I would be on the street and my 2005 Honda pilot, well she will outlive me. The world today is total shit and I am afraid it will get worse. Apologize to you young folks the world was a lot better then and niggers were not animals and this third world shit was not here. Man I miss that world.
>>532842335Im mid 50's 70's were good, 80's were ok, 90's in when privatization of public assests became the flavor of the month, shits been fucked, and worse than fucked, ever since then. Corps close our oil refineries. Our govt spends 372 billion on nuclear subs. OK great. Now, how the fuck are you gonna fight a war without fuel? The people that run my country are genuinely fucking retarded. In before "nuclear subs don't need fuel" I'm talking about every other vehicle we'll need assuming we're defending against an invading force. Just enforcing US embargo's on the other side of the globe is irrelevant to our defence capability.
>>532851665>not a fat ass in sight
In the 90's people could take a joke. And people weren't trying to nail each other to the wall for everything.
>>532842335that thing you call a phone is actually a tablet which basically is nothing more than a glorified html reader / web browser to enjoy facecock and ads on youboob and easy mossad access ofc
>>532851738Not all sharecroppers were black.
>>532842335So much worse that it's not even worth thinking about because it will only make you angry and sad.
>>532842335I'm 37. The character-limit would stop me from even getting CLOSE to telling you how great it was.
>>532842335So assuming you give a shit about anime. Everything was done in person. Fansubs in the 80s were groups of japanese-americans who recorded subs over VHS and you had to know someone who knew them to send in a payment subscription over the mail. And some of them were straight up trolls, they would record IRL skits before the anime that noone wanted to watch and refused to remove them. Cons were dead and the only people who went were really nerdy types. Merch was almost non-existent except for t-shirts and posters. Most people didn't know what sushi was, let alone anime.I don't know what else to say, it felt like there was a real community around anime. It was just a blessing to have someone who also enjoyed anime back then. You could find lifelong friends and write letters to each other, share VHS and posters in the mail.
>>532852267We have a communist Muslim mayor pushing anti white legislation and a governor also doing the same. We have the shittiest job market this city has ever seen. Stores are closing down because niggers don't get arrested anymore. You know those Somalian medicaid scam places? I found 3 5 minutes from where I live and no one I report to it about cares. You have to make 100k in a combined household at least to be low level middle class and you will be struggling. Your place might be going to shit I am not doubting you after watching the latest Tyler Olivera video but trust me it is worse here.
>>532852106We don't do dine ins on lead son, we only do deliveries.
>>532842335Pre 2001 was the golden age of western civilization, then 9/11 happened and fucked things up the first time, trust was broken at that point, however society as a whole was still ok through the 2000s, and into the 2010s, 2016 things began going to shit with Hillary vs. Trump, thus beginning the stupid culture war bullshit, the late 2010s still had some semblance of things being ok, not as good as 10-15 years before, but ok, then 2020 happened with COVID and that basically permanently fucked the economy up and whatever that was left that was still ok, since 2020 basically every year after has been shit.
When I was a child we had cheese in the fridge
>>532843802>it fucks up a lot of people because people are social creatures and look for that confirmation of the group, now you can't find itThis is solved by having the psychological profile of one who was ousted by the group. Sucks for the normalfags i guess. Anime carried me hard for 10 years, now I appreciate nature.
>>532842335Pretty fucking bad mate.But all the rot started long before then; this is just the chickens coming home to roost.Our problems were more than a century in the making.They begin with universal suffrage.
>>532852581all those hypertensed kilograms moving to deliver none but lead indeed
>>532852666Checked, Satan.>anime carried me for 10 years, now it's natureWhatever gets you by. As a man in his 40s I'm starting to appreciate the little shit like watching birds. I think if a person can't appreciate the little things in life they're gonna really struggle in this new age of shittery
>>532852496Well in a "who's town is shittier" contest no one wins so I'm with you there. You hear all the time people from Texas (which I've only ever seen as a child or on the Internet, I literally can't remember the last time I've met someone actually from here) saying how nyc is such a shithole and "thank god I live in red blooded Republican Texas" and a decade ago that would have been me, so I thought people might appreciate a different perspective than the usual one which I feel is out of date. The entire country is dying of cancer and the places that I presume are still nice like new England, or idaho are all slowly following the same path that started with places like nyc, and California. There's no future in this country, imo the options are go innawoods or leave the country. Everyone else just has to keep their head above water as long as possible until the point of drowning
>>532842335I did all the heavy lifting early in life and now I got pensioned at 22. I don't own a home but that's my choice and I get free schooling and 18 year old women suck my nuts because I can drive. Military is honestly the way to go.
a meteor hitting earth may do the trick, but i prefer an alien invasion
>>532845536Uh, anon...People in China Town speak Chinese, like their Chinese neighbors. It's a Chinese community. He means what kind of community can you have when you speak English and your neighbors speak somali, Chinese, Spanish, and homo?
>>532852849Is Texas more fucked because of immigration or because of the liberals running from blue states but continuing to vote blue in Texas?
Pajeets ruined American techI'd do anything to go back to 90s early 2000s.Socially everyone became a pussy during the Obama era
>>532842335It is not bussin as you kids would say
>>532852749this will massively contribute to mankinds eradication as well - beside the upcoming war.by the end of this century kikes will have reached their final goal of removing us forever.
>>532842335Its bad. Im 41 in the chciago area. We always had black and mexican neighborhoods, but in general 99.99% of people I encountered day to day were white. Now I often feel like I'm the last white man left when I go out. We got flooded with so much random central and south asian shit that just didnt exist before, it makes going out to pick a few items at target feel like going into the mos eisley cantina. You just look around at the creatures like wtf are these things and wtf are they doing. Also it felt like the government wasnt openly betraying us. You still had the feeling they wanted america to win.
I have another question for you older anons. If you described what was happening today to yourself in the past, what would past you's reaction be?
>>532853012Yes and yes.First it was A and then A let in B who then took over absolutely everything.
>>532842618>You really do have it worse than any person living in a developed country since at least the 1880s.what a nigger thing to say
>>532853045Obama was peak white guilt. All the white guilt was strip mined during those 8 years. The only positive thing I can say about those years is I feel like whites have mostly gotten that shit out of their system
>>532842429you should be banned for whining about anime on a anime image board.
>>532847150p much picrel innit?doomsday clock
stfu niggerkys if you cant handle these bitch ass soft time
>>532853098>I have another question for you older anons. If you described what was happening today to yourself in the past, what would past you's reaction be?I would be shocked to learn that the Soviet Union won and we're all living behind the iron curtain with a bunch of brown ferals.
>>532842335>I was born in 2002i was 13 in 2002. if you had told me in 2002 that in 24 years anime would suck, video games would suck, movies would suck, the terrorists won, and the worst BITCHES would be running everything....
>>532842335It was bad in places then but its everywhere now. Plant fruit trees and protect them. Shit's been fucked since at least 2001, but it's accelerating.
Every time we had an economic downturn there was always a way out of it. I don't see a way now. Any time I ponder how can we fix things I can come up with no other solution than a form of genocide. There is nothing that can happen to fix the economy and general cost of living. Boomers fucked us with one final fuck you during Covid when they shut down the world economy and that fast forwarded our decline. We should not have fucking shut everything down for 2 years that was so retarded and we are going to pay for that till we are dead on top of still paying for both of Bush's wars
>>532851287Why are zoomers obsessed with frunigger aero
>>532842335It's night and day. It's really bad. It used to be fantastic in the 80's and 90's living in the suburbs. Sometime in the mid or late 90's they started bussing in diversity. With Reagan bringing in Mexicans. Safe. Clean. Not much drug abuse. But with diversity comes drugs and crime. With the Mexicans I believe they started bussing the niggers to suburban communities. >before the 2010sProbably not in most places that weren't getting gentrified. It was somewhat noticeable where I was, one of the most diverse places in the States, maybe the world now. >is social media just amplifying things?Yes. A little. Maybe not enough tho. The demographics are changing fast now. I've been all over the States, the only people who know what is going on are people from California if they are not a liberal dirt bag. One had said to me "these people have no idea what us coming" and I knew immediately he is on the same page.
I only remember the 2000's and like '98-'99, it was alright being a kid. 2009 was when my teenage cynicism kicked in and 2016 is when everything went to shit and never improved.
>>532842335>Have young adults in the past always spoken as if their lives are already over before they've even begunno, I would say it is a new phenomenon. Back then, youth would have a sense of rebellion towards the status quo- that they felt no need to partake in the wrongs of the older generation. But at least they were HOPEFUL. They weren't hopelessly depressed. They had a burning ember in their gut. They wanted to channel that to changing the world. We knew the world was evil, we were doing what we thought was right- whatever the Jewish educational system taught us. But we weren't secluded, deluded or hateful. We had a general caution and distrust towards others, but not outright hate. The internet then did not seek to expose everything about the world- there were still a sense of privacy and inclusive.
>>53284233539 yo millennial here.We already thought our generation was hopelessly fucked when I was 16 years old. I remember school plays literally called "no future" where we lamented the shrinking opportunities young people got.I think it really accelerated after 9/11, but 9/11 alone was not the reason for this.The important thing for you and other young people to take away is this: The young ALWAYS feel unheard and hopeless. Because for most of you it really is. But things will change. Old faggots like boomers and eventually millennials will die off and more and more zoomers and genA's will get into positions of power and wealth.Will it make the world better? No, because you are doomed to perpetuate the cycle. But if you hang in there long enough you have a decent chance to "make it".That's the true social contract and you can't escape it. There was NEVER a "good" generation of kids who felt they lived on easy street. Life sucks, and then you die. But it will be a "different kind of shit" for each new generation.
>>532853098i don’t give a rat’s ass anymore, ive completed stopped caring
>>532853407There is a lot of shit old people say that has no bearing in reality anymore. When I was a kid I always heard "the happiest people are 60 and older". I guarantee you when we turn 60 this will not be the case. They were happy then because they had a full boat pension and retirement and no worries. We will not have this and work till we are dead
>>532842335Exponentially worse. I'm a 40-something "xennial" and even my boomer parents say shit sucks worse now than ever before. They'll be dead before it truly gets bad, but I don't know if I'll be dead or not before it gets overtly bad. >it's bad now anonYou know what I mean. Complete breakdown of society. It's coming, but I just don't know if it will be in the next 30-40 years or not. Kids being born today will live through it.
>>532853442decline is a choice.
>>532842335It's hell on earth and the 90s were wonderland. Too bad for you zoomie. You'll never know what it was like.
>>532842335Oldfag doed not refer to a person's age but how long he's been on 4chan, you fucking newfag. I've been here on and off for 20 years now.
>>532853442Gen A is most likely going to have to deal with a Yugoslavia tier civil war when they become adults so they will probably have it the worst
>>532853098My younger self would be trying to figure out how to prepare and brace for impact.
>>532842335we went from a high trust society to no trust. there was so much hope in the 1990s. soviets fell and things seemed bright for western countries. this lasted even past 9/11 although that started the decline.things were just more organic. no smart phones so more random conversations, meeting up, less matrix behavior.
>>532842335Back in the 90s you can be a single parent working in some factory and have a house and car.Now as a single non parent you can't afford anything. That about wraps it up
>>532853668We never once locked our doors growing up. I didn't even lock my doors in college until 2005. I started locking my doors when Hurricane Katrina tore up Louisiana and the niggers got shipped to Texas. So, for me, 2005 is when shit started to break down. That being said, that was also my first exposure to a larger negroid population.
>>532853540>It's coming, but I just don't know if it will be in the next 30-40 years or not.I think we will see it very soon within 5 years. You know how you watch a tiny stream become a big stream than a tiny river and then a raging river and at that point the river escalates quickly? I think we hit that escalation period where things are now going to get worse faster. We are 100% guaranteed another serious recession or worse when this AI bubble bursts and no I am not anti AI but at the end of the day there will be only 1 maybe 2 viable AI companies and tons will go out of business and that will drag the economy down. North Korea is the last "axis of evil" country the jews labeled a threat that we haven't stopped and we will have a war with them very soon as they are the last wild card jews can't control
>>532852284>>532852334Thank you. I especially value the perspectives of anons who are older. Our childhood years usually seem better. So, when people look back, their memories are often tinged with nostalgia. Those who were already adults when the decline began might have a clearer view of what's happening.Can you help me understand why my parents almost refuse to acknowledge how serious things have become? My mom keeps herself busy with vlogs and never really confronts reality. She finally admitted she realized something was wrong with the country during the recent ICE shootings/protests. What in the world took her so long to admit it to herself?My dad isn't much different, but he's more politically aware. He insists that things are only "slightly" worse now. I asked him if he's ever seen people protest this much against a president, and he said the protests against Nixon during Vietnam. I looked it up, and the three biggest protests against a sitting president in history have happened *in the past year*, even when controlling for the percentage of the population. I told him this, and he sent me an article about how the protests had massive inorganic funding behind them. He doesn't even like Trump, he's just trying to deny that it's gotten worse entirely. It’s like there's some barrier stopping them from accepting our reality. What do you think is going on there?
>>532853773There will be another massive bailout and the jews in charge will print more money and sell more debt to make up the difference. Fiat hasn't completely failed yet. The norks are chilling and the chinks are always gonna issue a final warning over and over and never do shit.
>>532852662We did too, but it was government cheese.
>>532845043>Life used to actually be fun and the average person (or significantly more) were not total pontificating twats and had an actual errant desire for mischief and good humor.This. Kids today can get their lives legally ruined for shit people pulled in the past and others around them would find some humor in. It's all deliberate, by the way, poleese had to get dem youth violent crime rates down that exploded in the 60s and 70s with new police policy and public policy geared towards that, and then bitch like boomers that all the kids are introverted husks who don't go outside and act like the problem just fell from the sky.
>>532842335The demoralization really set in by the 10s.
>>532853569Is it? On a large-scale I would disagree. No individual American wants our country to decline, but as a society as a whole we seem unable to do anything about it. I feel like it's a form of entropic law, translated to biological lifeforms.Did you know that when grasshoppers grow to a certain size and start crowding each other, they transform into locusts and start destroying all fields around them in a feeding-craze and then just die of hunger shortly after?Something like that is happening to us.
>>532842335picrel happened every single day
>>532850503>Return to dial-up.I really wish that could become a reality. There was something special about programs that either did or didn't connect to the Internet, not everything either being a web browser or having a web browser embedded in it
I have advice from 2003 here.I don't understand why so many oldies have to associate 9/11 with when things started going to shit, when it is mostly technological production that pulverized the initial culture we all had because it isn't feasible to retain culture in our competitive geopolitical landscape. 9/11 and Israel is too easy of a thing to point to and scapegoat for everything, you can recognize these two things as being terrible without situating them as a pure cause. I am starting to believe the only reason why American politics became hyperretard spectacle war is because it's turning everyone's cultured brains off and rebooting, the populists are just playing a very deceptive game at this point and that might be more noble than being completely honest because nearly nobody in politics can deal with the concept of things being hidden for their best interest. The way everyone dealt with Epstein is the sole reason why not everyone deserves to "know everything".
>>532853999
>>532853098I would not believe and/or understand it. But I would ask for lottery numbers, championship outcomes and companies I should invest in.
>>532842335In the past, people didn’t pay much attention to politics, and everyone watched the same movies and TV shows, which gave them more in common. The mainstream media held more power as a monopoly but was also more accountable because it had the attention of everyone. This is also why movies were way better before everyone fled to their echo chambers and went retarded from social media. There were problems, but most people were blissfully unaware and happy, which some might argue is better than being hyper-aware and miserable, especially if you’re powerless to change anything.
>>532853914Everything is too fucking expensive now. My dad used to take us to six flags great adventure as kids. Tickets were about $20 each. There would be coca cola cans you can get that you trade in for a free ticket so for a family of four and 2 cans you pay $40 for 4 tickets. Now I just checked it's $70 each. Those coke deals do not exist anymore and from videos I seen the park is just nigger daycare where two slices of cheese pizza are $26. Sick of this shit. My dad took a family of 4 to Disney World and bought a new car every 4 years on just a fucking butcher's salary.
It is not just that it's abnormally bad... rather that it's going to get worsethis lack of agency, this utter dependance on mouse utopia systems that hate you, is unheard of there's no particular rule or safety net that says it can't become a soviet tier horror within our lifetime... Government can't save you in fact goverent can be the very thing that kills yourember: it's sisiphean struggle to keep people fed... and we're pulling bricks from the jenga of supply chains, to pay for a central banking extravaganza
>>532842953Well for one thing the World Trade Center looks different nowadays.
>>532842335THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER.
70s kid. Carter economy. 4 of us kids. Despair on parent's faces trying to get gas for the tiny Toyota, seems 64c or something was too much a gallon. Groceries were hard to come by and Dad had a very good job and mom worked too. It broke them. Divorced. Moved to GA and mom was happy to get 2.35hr job. Only new clothes we got were school clothes and a few full in at Christmas. There were times we were hungry mom stretched everything to thin as she could. We moved a lot because I think she got behind on rent sometimes. There were kids way more poor than us. You'd see the same faded shirt several times a week on us and others and homemade dresses on the girl who didn't seem to have much more than a hairbrush for luxury. Those days are long gone but I still stretch everything. If it can't turn into many meals, like 6 to 8 meals for two ppl from a pound of sausage, it usually doesn't get bought. Don't have to, can buy prime rib and eat out. Don't. Because good times don't last. By 15 in early 80s moved out and for over 40 days it was literally just oatmeal. Wanted to raid pizza place dumpster obsession. Didn't because pride. Crazy people, yeah but allowed to be a lot crazier today. People are dangerous always have been but nobody is stopping them now. I stay far away from anywhere a lot of people are and it wasn't that way back then even in the worst neighborhood where police didn't want to go. That's worse or it seems like it is so I act accordingly.
>>532853986We used to break into Shea Stadium and the white old guard would just tell us "get outta here you crazy kids" can't image what happens now with the jeet guard he would probably kill us
>>53284233543 here.>Did people before the 2010s really act this hopeless, demoralized, and aggressive?Not as aggressive, but yes to the rest or close to it. I don't see much aggression at all first hand though.>Have young adults in the past always spoken as if their lives are already over before they've even begun, or that their country is beyond repair?As far as I can tell this is as old as human society, but gen Z have been the most right about it in recent history.Every generation has seen bad times. I was born under the constant threat of nuclear annihilation (maybe not here though), my parents were born soon after the biggest war the world had ever seen, etc.I do suspect we're on the verge of some major global changes. Hopefully moving to a post-growth economic system and generally getting our shit together as a species, but quite possibly being driven to the brink of extinction by climate change.
>>532854156gross shut up were trying to scare zoomies
>>532849550>>532853610I know what oldfag means, I've been here since 2017. But an oldfag on this site would have to be someone 30+, no? I'm not an oldfag.
>>532854095In the past you could watch SNL and laugh at them shitting on Clinton or Bush today SNL can only exist if they go full libtard because leftists can't laugh at themselves
>>532842335I’m 41 and tldr: We’re in a bad period, economically and sociallyThe 70s and 80s were kind of hard, mostly because of lazy retarded hippie boomers. Things turned around in the 80s because government basically handed out free houses and cheap cars to get them do actual work.Things in the 90s were optimistic but boomers were still unsatisfied and wanted to get rich off of slaves, so they imported about 100 million shitskins from shitholes.They also didn’t want their children to inherit, have a home or even stay in the family home because boomers think that them being given free things and overpaid jobs meant they worked hard for it, morally, intellectually and menially.Of course, this is all the complete opposite of truth.Inflation, rising house prices, corporate profiteering, societal apathy and nonchalance, pointless ideological/revenge wars, it’s all 110% completely retarded clownworld shit.Everything is the opposite, some bizarro world type thing compared to sensibility and decency and actualy progress.In short, boomers destroyed the West. They’re honorary kikes.Pic: Your average boomturd
>>532842335I was born in 1973. Things are a lot more complicated and difficult now. The 90’s was a nice mix between novelty and ambitious ideas but people still understood common decency and tact. Now everyone is trying to be the the smartest person in the room and people have openly adopted selfishness and stereotyping to prop up edgy and competitive personas Things are worst but the pendulum always swings. “Be the change you want to see in the world”You’re feelings are possibly the path to returning humanity to a better phase Stay strong and be true to your own heart
>>532848504Pretty much
>>532854156WE ARE THE HOTTEST COUNTRY AROUND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A HOTTER COUNTRY
>>532854259That's not true and you would know it if you actually still watched SNL or similar stuff.They made a skit about Kamala Harris one day before the election where they poked her for her changing stances, her accidental attacks on Biden and her being boring, before bringing out the actual Kamala Harris to continue the joke.Jon Steward lost his shit on Biden when he went into maintenance mode live on TV during the debate.
>>532848504>The doomer vibe didnt really take off till after 2012Maybe the Mayans were right. The world ended in 2012 and we are living in purgatory or hell potentially
>>532854413>73me too
>>532842335Unless you lived in a post soviet state the 90s were incredible. Arguably not good as the 80s for the people the US. I'm not old enough to have experienced any of that. The 90s were basically hell for those eastern block countries hence why so many are still nostalgic for the USSR. If you've only existed a world post 9/11. There has never been a time in your life as good.
>>532854479>they made one joke it's totally balanced!meanwhile in realityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG-_ZDrypechttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN3q8jZ04_E
>>532842335The 80s and 90s were peak America. Nothing will ever be so good ever again. Not on this planet.
>>532848655This so much hermano. I fucking hate the timing of EVERYTHING going to shit just when we were about to hit 18. Since then everything is shit after shitI fucking despise my family because they made my mom sell a house that would have fucking helped me A LOT, now I'm so fucking tired of living in such a small room my muscles are literally deformed and weak My grandparents have a lot of money but got gods sake they won't fucking die, not only that last time I trusted the key to them for my house while I was outside for work they entered my house and room and exposed all my personal things in front of EVERYONE Just fuck everything. I would have loved to have kids but the mere thought of the kid living as bad as I did kills my fucking soul I'll probably kill myself one of these days, no I don't care about my short sighted retarded mom, kids are no mascots
>>532854587What abour Mars? :/
>>532842335Overall, technology advancement only makes things better. So much to be busy with - it's mind blowing. It was quite borning before 00s. Globalization is just amazing - unlimited tavel and exploration, if you have the cash. If you don't - internet, gaming, AI.But as an introvert, everything involving other people has always been shit. Employment before 00s was as bad as it is now (in eastern europe at least). Alcoholism was rampant. Crime was a lot higher. Normies didn't change much, they were always ill spirited and still are.The only actually big downer in current year is personal data harvesting and derived from that algorithmic social media. This bit is slowly driving people insane, and barely anyone is self aware enough to understand that.It's adds a "nutjob layer" on top of normie's usual "angry at life layer". But if you stay clear of them - everything is sunshine and rainbows.War is bad of course, but old billionares are going insane and it's unavoidable. With no system in place to cull them - it will unavoidably repeat.When you're dying and you have thousands of lifetimes worth of cash, what do you do with it? You shit everyone up of course.
>>532854128>the park is just nigger daycare where two slices of cheese pizza are $26Lol Six Flags is losing so much money because of this. Six Flags in Houston shut down because it eventually got enveloped by wetback town, with nigger town not too far from it, and too many fights were happening between them and between their own. It's a genuinely pathetic request to tell kids now to take life seriously, when this is all they are given in return.

>>532854184My friend's father owned a general store that sold all sorts of things, and there was a warehouse with piles of coffee bales and other products where we used to play, running and jumping, grabbing chocolates and chewing gum and all that junk, and best of all, we'd get gunpowder, oh boy... it was pure fun. We only went home around eight o'clock at night when we heard our names being shouted by our mothers. We were the terror of the neighborhood.
>>532854578>Now that Trump is in power they disproportionally talk about TrumpNo shit Sherlock. They mostly talked about Biden and other relevant stuff when he was in power. That's how it works. What would they even say about Democrats right now that would be funny?>Uhhh Hakeem Jeffries, am I right? He allegedly...uhhh...still exists I guess. Hey what about that Chuck Schumer ey? Still old!Just stop buying into the eternal victim complex Republicans display. And while we're at it, how come there is no "Republican" comedy show of any kind? It's all just angry shouting on twitter.
>>532842335your programming was exceptional. top work.
>>532842335>Did people before the 2010s really act this hopeless, demoralized, and aggressive?No, but they did have issues. Delusions already existed, indoctrination existed, apathy existed.>Or is social media just amplifying things?Amplifying it isn't really the problem, and even has some positive sides. It's more like that social media became mandatory, powerful and weaponised, blatant echo chambers, propaganda, and so on.>Have young adults in the past always spoken as if their lives are already over before they've even begun, or that their country is beyond repair?To an extent. Depends on the location. Ex eastern block became disillusioned pretty quickly. Likewise it was already apparent Euro Socialism was failing and becoming delusional in the 2000s. Nigger music? Entire niggerification was already ongoing. Problems with democracy were apparent. To an extent it's just a matter of observing long enough and losing that childish optimism, which takes time irrespective of whether you start today or started 20 years ago.The decline has been steady and ongoing for a long time, but we're further down the slippery slope. There were times where things appeared to be improving, but that was temporary or illusory.
>>532854665Six Flags plan which appears to be failing is "lets impose a white person tax" aka make everything more expensive so niggers don't come but from my experience niggers just sneak in and don't pay

>>532854517When I was a little kid (pre-2012) I could still be reliably left alone in the care of strangers and be taken care of. Niggers did not yet hate whites, I went over to a black kid's house once. I played outside all day, we still did that. Things like Webkinz were popular on the Internet. We had our own dumb zoomie trends, like collecting Sillybandz (~2010). Later in middle school it became things like Flappy Bird... I clearly remember thinking, "I'm glad I live in the greatest country in the world. All of those horrible wars are behind us, we can shake hands and make a better future".And then it went away.

>>532842335hello, I read the thread and I want to weigh in. 1991 live in and from DFW, Texas.the 90s were incredible and were like a dream for me. we lived on my dad's sales engineer income and he bought wonderful toys for a large family. I still have almost all of them. I know I won't be able to provide the same quality of toys for my children both because of economic reality but also because they simply aren't made anymore. my favorite toys ever are MegaBloks Dragons Fire and Ice and Bionicles. video game wise would be Fire Emblem, the early Pokémon games, Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Halo, and Minecraft.9/11/2001 was the day that I realized the world had very real and serious villains and the dream came to an end. things were still fun throughout high school and college. the most fun year of my life, I think, was 2015. I think it was in 2017 that someone posted that "the decline will be gradual, you'll just realize that you see your friends less and less and people don't have money to have fun like they used to." That has been incredibly true. I've also isolated and lost many of my close friends, but I've made some new ones.Importing the third world to a large degree has led to the decline of this country, but with the central bank, you realize that this decline had to happen one way or another. please remember that you define your own experience, and your spirit / consciousness is greater than the material things. we must will our way out of this mess. feel free to ask questions, I will expound.
>>532845560Brazil is the exception to the case, because you cut down all the forests, pumped all the oil, dug up all the minerals and instituted a police state due to nigger crime.You’re like a race-blind national socialist state. It’s only downhill for you from now on
>>532854720
>>5328423359/11 and the Patriot Act really did a number on America. The 90s were peak, between the anxiety of the cold war and the stupidity of the war on terror (we're still in it).Things are bad, but it's NEW that we have propaganda to make the young feel that way. It's part of the demoralization agenda. Things can be better if you work hard, avoid like 99 different fucking scams, save your money and invest wisely.Also this year has been great for anime so far, it's a great time to be alive.
>>532842599>we had hope for the futureThats the biggest difference between being young and old. when you are young you "have your whole life ahead of you" and you dont really know what that means until you have lost it.When you are young your life is one door opening up after another, and then it peaks and as you age they start closing until you die.
>>532855854>When you are young your life is one door opening up after another, and then it peaks and as you age they start closing until you die.I don't think this is true at all if your life is pretty decent aka wife kids and a job you don't have to constantly worry that you will lose your job to jeets
>>532842599>>532842335Pre-9/11 was a different world. Sort of like pre-covid you could kind of pretend 80% of humans weren’t psychos who would gladly send you to a death camp for not wearing a mask. race relations were to the point before obama where everyone was basically color blind. Sure, we all knew nigs were retarded chimps, and they knew white people were spineless faggots, but we all coexisted peacefully (I literally went to the ghetto as a kid as handed out fried chicken for charity, lol). Obama destroyed all of that after occupy wall street.The internet was kino, everywhere was like /pol/, except it was slow and downloading porn took forever. Everything was getting better until 9-11, after that a lot got worse, but some things still got better. once obama came around everything got worse every year after that (except the job market got slightly better briefly under trump 1.0). It’s not that he was a genius evil mastermind, he was just a jew puppet and the jews realized they could accelerate.
>>532855854I think he means hope for the collective future, not individual opportunities. In the 90s things were getting better. People thought there'd be flying cars. Instead now people can't afford homes, not anymore.
>>532842599If the conditions are that bad, I feel it is your duty to go out of your way to psecure his future
>>532853098>what would past you's reaction be?"so nothing had changed, and earning money today compared to the future is the same?" "That chasing women in my early 20's now makes more sense and wasn't a waste of time? Sweet!"
>>532854197Killing white birthrates will definitely destroy the world
columbine was another watershed moment. Suddenly “zero tolerance” was a thing and kids were getting expelled for defending themselves. I almost got expelled in like 4th fucking grade for telling a girl “I’m gonna kill you” as we started a fucking chess match (I destroyed her). After that the gradual conversion of schools into prisons began. I just visited my nephew’s school and it looks like and feels like a jail / psycho ward (because all the teachers are women on SSRIs). We’re putting our kids through nurse ratchet every day and wondering why they’re fucked up.
>>532854838>niggers just sneak in and don't payAnd won't even buy any food, so you at least make something back from them, but they will sneak their own food in, tear things up and get into fights, driving away the people who do pay. All these hoops and hurdles in society just to avoid the obvious conclusion.
>>532842335I'll be 39 soon. Without being a nostalgia fag, simply put, things are exponentially worse than they were in the 80s and 90s and even early 2000s. Like man it's not even close.
>>532853323I think the future looks so bad even elites refuse to talk about it. Do this, everytime you ask jews what is going to happen when whites are gone and everything is just jeets and niggers they are unable to reply
A lot of what everyone says sucks about modern times is just people imprinting on the shit they see in social media. Its not that different than it ever was we just have a window looking directly to every slight that occurs with in our own personal noosphears.
>>532856029like my pops always said, private school is just a school tax for white people.
>>532855015They've been here since at least 2007. Furry Fridays were a major draw for some of us after the VCLart crash.
>>532856060Hell no, niggers everywhere, jews ruining everything and homes becoming a luxury are real problems
>>532853764>We never once locked our doors growing up.I always tell everyone how we not only didn't lock our doors, but my sister would often leave her keys in her car, and loose cash in her car's ashtray, often with the windows down. When we went to the state fair, my uncle intentionally left the car doors unlocked. When I asked why he said "If someone wants in the car, I'd rather they not break my windows".The thought of someone stealing your catalytic converter wasn't even on anyone's radar.

>>532843338100% smartphone/social media. Everything went online instead of it being away from it. With social media came dystopia. Endless cannot and absurd laws on everything. It's easy getting stuff online far more choices, but any costs are way higher than they have ever been on almost everything. Any added population has not improved any quality of life, in fact it's done opposite. Freedom and fun is restricted until they're banning people while allowing illegals. The amount of stupid laws and on free speech have become ridiculous as inflation has exploded.Nothing literally nothing makes sense in any logical practical proper way. It has become absurd and nonsenseMusic. TV. Games. Media. Are awful comparisons despite any increased resolution or coverage.The highstreet keeps losing shops and replacing them with them with crap.

>>532842599>I try so hard not to blackpill himGood on you.My dad told me the Republicans were actively working on a plan to take over the US in 1994 and the CIA cheated him out of his business after they had him go to Nigeria to pick up oil tankers that didn't exist.It did me no good to know that shit.Explain how shit works, but with solutions.Give him solutions. Show him when it's okay to break rules so he's not taken off guard when he makes it to the corporate world or dealing with local gov to get his business license or whatever.
>>532856136No. This generation is the worst. Nothing short of pity. More choice is less choice. Especially in the West.I used to drink in pubs at 15, it cost 2 quid a pint. Today? I had 3 drinks they cost 40 quid. Ithose cost are insane today. The fun has all but gone. They've replaced it with idiots and narratives and literally the worst of everything.
>>532855986But it's no longer an individual thing. How does a mouse make a mouse utopia "better'?First you must understand what makes it a mouse utopia. Where does mouse utopia get their funding? how do psychopaths pay for their lab coats? Central Banking is a way of redistributing wealth from working class to the parasite class. You musn't throw buckets of water out of a sinking boat, you must fix the boat; lest the boat sinks.
>>532856409I know this might sound fucked up but if those pubs are doing that then maybe you should let them die and maybe better options can take their place. I think a major issue we have with companies is they last too long and become dinosaurs and refuse to change and this can apply to a 100 year old pub. I don't think it's good that a company like McDonalds can have nearly 100 years of market dominance like they should probably die so better options can take their place.
>>532856409>I used to drink in pubs at 15, it cost 2 quid a pint. Today? I had 3 drinks they cost 40 quid. Ithose cost are insane today.The wages are insane. You can still get your 2 quid pint, it will just be in a shithole you have to fly to
>>532854197>43 here. I was born under the constant threat of nuclear annihilationDon't be dramatic. I'm a couple years older than you and the Cold War was pretty much over by the time I can remember anything. The Soviet Union wasn't even a danger by the late-80's. At least compared to the Soviet Union of the 50's and 60's.My mother was born in 1956 and my father was too young to go to Vietnam until it was already over. My grandfather was born in 1930, and he was too young for WWII, and too old for Vietnam.. I often say that being born in the early 30's is probably the luckiest time to have ever been born in history. They got to live through the post-war boom, where the old social order was still intact, without any of the costs.
>>532856375you misunderstand my point. my dad did provide nice things for us, but if he was evil to us or if we were evil to eachother it would have been bad. people who had more nice things had a worse time because they made it that way for themselves. and other people who had less had a similarly good time because they made it that way.
>>532855277That Shane Gillis controversy was such overblown horse shit. They made it sound like he went full bucktooth, bamboo hat CHING CHONG RING RONG RITTLE RELLOW PENIS, I HATE CHINKS! and all he did in reality was extremely mild shit compared to Mike Myers as the Japanese gameshow host skit from SNL.
>>532856543I don't know how old the britbong is lets say for arguments sake no older than 40 2 quid to 40 quid a pint isn't normal or matching inflation this sounds more like price gouging and the place should probably go out of business
>>532854184yeah, i remember post 9/11, everything got way more serious and scrutinized which was especially noticeable as a fucking 14 year old kid who is up to nothing serious. even then, it wasnt bad. turned bad post 9/11 when everyone was no longer guaranteed a comfortable, stable future .
>>532856482>But it's no longer an individual thing. How does a mouse make a mouse utopia "better'?Be the alpha mouse that has the harem while the blackpilled trannycucks seethe in the corner and give each other handjobs
>>532856578Ironically if they tied Giillis down to like a 5 year contract with SNL's shit pay it probably would have been the most insane profit they would see in decades but they fucked it up listening to their far left audience and now SNL is beneath him. Also based on shit he says I wouldn't even classify him as far right since he shits on Trump and Republicans but it goes to show you how far left their audience is now
>>532856508The question is why is it 40 quid?People assume the pub is whimically increasing the price, raking profits. Who does the math? Why doesn't a more affordabke better oprion sets right next to it immediately and puts it out if business? Because it'd have to pay for the same taxes and regulations, same inflationary tax same everything. Try putting the business yourself, even if hypothetically, if it was easy it wouldn't be a problem.
>>53285677140 quid is ~50 US dollars I live in the hell hole known as NYC the most I ever paid for a beer in the fanciest rooftop lounge was $20 so either he is exaggerating or that place is a rip off and should go under
>>532856076It really is, but then you potentially rob your kids of experiencing niggers and letting them understand the real fatigue through interaction and real life experience; might as well let them get some guided life experience of the horrors and come to their own conclusion, so they don't end up like the people I knew who went to private school, and were full blown excuse-making retards, or only "hated niggers" based on stereotypes they heard from a family member and were still susceptible to being swayed in the opposite direction by yids with an agenda. It's a balancing act in getting a good education in a nigger-free zone, and getting proper exposure so people can't bullshit you into lib guilt tier beliefs.
>>532842335just look at suicide statistics to answer your question
>>532856508Hahahaha we all did at 15 in those days. It was fun then. It cost nothing. Today? Explain that cost. Explain the crowd. Can't smoke. Can't vape. Listen to another crappy advert selling horrible music, juxtaposition into what the fuck style is that, and it's worse than the art. The art what the fuck is that. A TV show remaking history into bullshit. A film full of stupid CGI. Never mind the rest of any media. Games. Oh yeah they aren't the arcade or the games store. Music isn't the music store either. Video isn't the video store. Everything is made in China and it's shit. A seasonal football ticket is almost five times the price and it isn't any better. It's worse. Never mind clubs and what not. Awful today
>>532856881>the spot from 50 years ago turned lamego somewhere else geriatric faggit
>>532856881What is so special about this pub that you are spending $50 on a pint of beer?
>>532856060when i was a kid, homeless were just a few quiet drunk eyesores on a corner, now the homeless are methed out terrorist constructing favelas in every nook and cranny
>>532856975Sorry 3 pints of beer still too much
>>532851134That is the whole point, you know. Boomers were all middle-class with the same wages
>>532856838The real cost of that beer is living amidst so much kikery, isn't it? :((
>>532856975I went with family for a meal. Drinks cost more than the meal I don't drink beer today spirits. Whiskey and mixer ginger ale. 12-14 quid a fucking drink. Had a half of coke it was like 4 quid.Beer was like 7 quid a pint.Bzzt.
>>532857076Alcohol in general is super nova'ing in price because gen z and millennials are drinking less. 5 local micro breweries I used to visit often went under because of this>>532857090Yea spirits and mixed drinks is how they get you. Margaritas are like $14 here like ~10 of your monopoly dollars it isn't worth it anymore
>>532857204Awful today. It never used to be like this ever. People had more fun. Online killed it. More rules. More choice became less choice.
>>532857270let the old die and let new pubs that are sane take over. It is the only way. I know Brit culture is about pubs that have been around for a century or more but even those places can take advantage of you
>>532842335Holy shit I was also born in 2002 and constantly think about long-term political trends. I have my perspective as a stupid fucking zoomer, but for a science to be grounded in reality it needs to be peer reviewed. I also overthink things so I might even be an outlier in my own demographic.Gen Z white men tend to span from Fuentes acolytes to NS larpers. The women are fucked though, I think something is genuinely wrong with them.The only reason for someone to be left or liberal is if they're brown, gay or out of touch (Gen X hippies)>>532842599Modern tech is so backwards I can write an entire article on it.>>532843577I secretly hope for a violent revolution. >>532843802The internet unveiled a lot of the esoterics of culture.

>>532851703lol ok junior
>>532842335trust us, you dont want to know. you know how they say ignorance is bliss? its that. probably dont watch any old family movies, or really anything historical. itll be painful. but not as painful for people who watched it happen. its not like a boomer scenario where theyre totally oblivious that theyre living under a jewish occupation as slaves because the most christcucked president in the country's history just up and handed the country over to jews without them even having to fire a shot and then didnt even bothering to tell anybody it happened and the change is gradual, its the opposite of that. 9/11 was the turning from gradualism to accelerationism. every day is progressively worse than the last, whether its the dying culture, the availability of potential mates who can provide you children who will look like you do, the economics and not being able to afford a beer, not having nuclear power, having data limits, not being able to just make and set up your own website like 4chan anymore, not being able to hack bank of america and replace their website with goatse for the lols and not even worrying about it being a crime, the list is endless really. my advice is to find someone who can bear you kids who will look like you do, and just stick with them like your lives depend on it, because it probably does. you werent there for the perdue pharmaceutical scandal where they prescribed oxycontin like candy and then pulled the rug and got a whole generation of middle class white americans addicted to heroin, and then hotshotted them. alot of the people i grew up with are dead, over stupid easily preventable shit like not relaxing around blacks, or not being sufficiently jewpilled, or lacking basic moral and spiritual foundations because they grew up in a jew worshipping household, things like that.
>>532857441What year did you first notice something was wrong? I'm female, but a complete NEET chud outcast among them. You're right that there's something severely wrong with them. Just yesterday one was ranting in my messages about how men are all parasites who need to be destroyed so women can run society, and she called me brainwashed when I told her that wouldn't work and men treated me better than women.
>>532856707Yeah, he's a liberally-minded Midwesterner at most (not a "liberal" in the same category of the far-left blue hairs) who just seems like he makes fun of anything you can make fun of or is comically outrageous on some level. I don't understand the modern Western leftist mindset. They will say shit, either nonchalantly or in rage, that is 10x more offensive or "racist", than the jokes made by other people that they get vocally offended by; it's as if people cannot differentiate between banter/bullshitting/good-natured jokes, and jokes with malicious intent/veiled insults. I have had a literal skinhead shake my hand after a pleasant, regular conversation and say 'Hey, good to meet you, man! You know, you're pretty alright for a mongrel!' with a genuine smile on his face, and that was the only remotely offensive thing that came out of his mouth directed at me, and it still hasn't come anywhere close on some level of offensiveness to the patronizing faux-politeness or outright self-righteous racist vitriol I have gotten from a modern Western leftist over a simple disagreement of opinions. It's fucking funny in itself to some extent over how absurd it all is, until you remember that this absurdity is poisoning society.
>>532857359Sane take over..There's no sanity. Britain's biggest increases in all of history on its population have not increased the quality of life. There are only charlatans and scammers. Another ridiculous service offering it more expensive. And the inept. And false messiahs. It's cracking today. Into you tell me? It's on purpose and it's deliberate. What rises. Because it's at that point. It certainly isn't sanity when we are blighted by the insane. Surely there's a script in it somewhere. Regardless, it's heading into more turbulence. If you mean a different government. Sure. We have had way too many of those and it just gets worse. I'm not voting for this one
>>532857204People would probably be more willing to drink, if you didn't have twenty cops waiting around to harass a guy walking two blocks home from the bar, because he cut across a parking lot and/or is going to get fifty charges or tickets for public intoxication and any other bullshit they can try slapping him with. Also, what did everyone expect would eventually happen when we've had MADD wanting to increase rules and penalties beyond reasonable, government cooking alcohol-related statistics to make them look worse (not saying alcohol is great, but the NHTSA numbers are genuine bullshit; they include non-drivers and automatically include incidents where no toxicology tests were performed, increasing the rates), and endless campaigns against alcohol? People were going to drink less, and find something like weed. Now, they're all losing their minds over a "problem" they helped create in the first place.
>>532846242>Because the scamdemic revealed everything on the economics and social contract side is complete bullshit.Covid confirmed the eternal laws of economics. When you shut everything down and try subsidize it all with debt and inflation, the consequences will last for generations.
>>532842335'63 here. As in Vietnam War era, not a typo.Shit fuck'n sucks for everyone, mate. Each generation had their own shit to deal with, but that shit never actually got solved... It just added to the next pile of shit. So on and so forth through Gen X, Millennials, Gen X and now the Gen Alphas. Fuck, it'll be Gen Beta about now too, thinking 'bout it. Here's the secret trick to deal with this... Complete and utter disdain for your fellow man at all sides and fronts. No one is gunna help you, everyone has their own version of "Fuck you got mine" morality, so the only person you can rely on is yourself. So, choices. You can commit neckrope, sure. Easy peezy lemon squeezey whoopsie daisy future not hazy. Or, you can just do what you fucking want to cheer yourself up. Wanna eat a Cornetto for breakkie? Do it sick cunt, your life to live. Folks giving you the look when you walk to the corner shop? Flip em the finger, or a brick, or a small nearby toddler to diddle while you laugh and go on your merry. 6pm News getting you down? Throw your tv out, give it to the single mum next door, smash it on your front lawn with a sledgehammer while recording for Jewtube or BrainRot. Point is, unless you are a rich pedo, life sucks regardless of generation. So make your own fun.
>>532851168> What about all the victims of total war caused by jews? See, your life’s misery caused by jews is not as bad as that! Checkmate! Leave it to some dumb nigger faggot mutt to say something mind numbingly retarded.
