It probably felt awesome to be a millennial who believed things were going to get better in 2008
>>533952813I remember hearing a nigger on a train in 2008 or so talking about how things will be different nowlelit was only different for Libyans and Syrians
>>533952813imagine what it was like being a genx an knowing they were all retards that were making a huge mistake.
he didn't do anything. obamacare cost the same as private and the quality of care is the same. DACA spics are getting deported.
>>533952871i think the tunisians got the best out of the whole shitshow and the kikes ofc.
>>533952813No one believed anything was going to get better.Look at Ross Perot's runs through the two party system.
>>533952813It did... and then the betrayal of Obama bailing out the banks and pushing all the Bush era illegal spying and war policies was a massive rug pull. Not unlike what younger people experienced with Trump 47.
membah when Occupy Wallstreet was a serious threat that got polluted hard by third wave feminism and other bullshit?
>>53395281394 master race here nothing was ever good except maybe 2013-2017
>>533952813meh my optimism in my youth is gone and all thats left is the knowledge that nothing will get better, everything turns into a boomer retirement program and I am a slave for worthless old and rich people.lets just kill everything.
>>533952813Eventually you learn nothing gets better, it just gets worse in relative ways but sometimes in a way where it feels like it's getting better but the centuries old plan is well underway
>>533952813We were desperate for anyone other than McCain, and we were still a few years out from alternate news sources becoming viable.
>>533953486So Obama 2nd term. You retards should have helped with Russia in 2014.
>>533952813I was in high school and the only people who thought it would get better were already nigger lovers. The problem is that McCain sucked (and showed his hand during the Obamacare vote). Between 2008-2012 there was still a huge traditional conservative movement. After the 2012 election is slowly died and Trump killed it off in 2016.
>>533952813Not really, there was as blissful ignorance. Mr Yes We Can savior candidate hadn't been tried yet but the writing on the wall. It's good that even political normies are able to see what the situation is now.
>>533952813you know america was losing the war in iraq at the time and surging troops to the country which was deeply unpopular politically, right on top of the worst financial crisis in a generation and in a year's time the tea party would form and be beating up politicians and spitting in their faces on camera, rightbut hey at least you elected a black man that paved the way for america's first jewish nigger president
>>533952813I remember being a freshman in college and feeling hopeful when the crowd started chanting “Yes we can!” during one of Obongo’s speeches.God, I was such a faggot.
>>533952813I know a lot of people who are incredibly stupid about politics, on both sides. But holy crap the Millennials are by far the worst because they are actually the most educated and had access to information. Yet they believe the stupidest things because their echo chambers would ostracize them if they didn't.Even Gen Z aren't as stupid because at least they are still too young to understand things. I see Millennials clinging to failed policies and nonsensical shit because their whole lives would collapse if they acknowledged they were duped.
>>533953708You twats were so insufferable. Just as bad at the "No more old white men" chants from cunts who really think different = better.
>>533953767Sad, but true.
>>533953385You should have known that was going to happen. That's why he picked Biden as the VP. Biden was the banking interests shill for his entire career, additionally Israel's and the intelligence agencies goto guy.Delaware is a state run by banking corporations, so he was free to do whatever without fear of election issues because the banks took care of him so long as he did what they wanted.Obama picking him was to tell the big banks that he wasn't going to prosecute them and to let the intel agencies know there would be no changes.
I'm a soilennial but I identify as a 90s kid more. The 2000s didn't have the same magic.
>>533952813>believed things were going to get better >in 2008iow retarded
>>533953905Dude, come on. Yes you are correct, but expecting that normies “should have known" is optimistic, to say the least.
>>533953596Yeah Obama was awesome and a great leader Trump made everything weird and everybody divided
>>533953486>2013-2017Absolutely unbrowsable, cancer ridden period, sensible people have spent it on 99chan / Krautchan.>>533952813Nope. 2008 was bad and there was pretty serious crisis in the market in 2012, I was actually pretty "lucky" that I failed my studies since job market was BAD back then. Only hope I had was that I was in uni and could somehow managed by being there. 2008-2011 was a steady decline on 4chan culminating in Meguka Magica absolutely garbage ending that creators have obviously written on the go seeing how series exploded after reveal in early episodes (was it 2nd?). By 2011 even anime, which was trash, became not worth it, only few seinens gave a glimmernof decency, but their writting / development stalled.
>>533953486>2013-2017those years are gone from my memory. A genuinely terrible time for the Internet and life in general
>>533952813Not really bro. Politics hadnt sucked everyone in front and center yet. I was trashed riding dirtbikes and throwing keggers
>>533952813It did. Fuck. Now everything is horror show in a clown mask.
Fuck no.Everything died after 9/11
>>533954306Yeah but we (millennials) didn’t know it at the time.
>>533952813it was really awesome in early 2015 when mods would've b& your faggot ass for 30 days faggot
>>533954306Nobody cared about 9/11 except for americans. Everything was great for me.
>>533953905seems like every generation learns this lesson in their own way. Easy to say in hindsight Trump was just going to shill for Jews but people believed he was different.
>>533952813Be better?2008 recession stacked on endless wars then a culture war and a retarded multi year lockdown?Yeah at no point we're things really progressing, just waiting for the post 90's 00's shit to pass untill things could get back on track. Now we are getting to be middle aged because all the opportunities had to wait a year or two every year for our whole lives.It's deep BS, everyone who is doing good got some form of golden ticket, if you just did the right thing your whole life you are on the struggle bus. What we were promised was that if you do the right thing and play it down the middle you could be completely middle class. Simply isn't the case.z and Alpha will suffer more than us. X at least got the middle class thing, maybe no great cause but you could get a fucking job.
>>533954306Probably, but yeah, it's pretty consistent with my observation that billions od demons and sinners were thrown into Lake of Fire somewhere after 2008 and since I'm living in reality devoid of God, tortured by devils on "the internet". Whole XXI century seems like a mockery of reality, a yearning from evil spirit for hope and meaning that will never arrive since they are bound to suffer alongside me in this hellscape.
It was going to be four years of peace and prosperity and niggers thought they wouldn't have to pay their rent
>>533954306
I had just turned 18 and was on £14.50 and hour back then. I bought myself a guitar.
>>533952813I never thought that at all, but maybe I'm just an outlier.
>>533952813I’m married, rich, got my license to practice medicine, get to work on fun hobbies in my free time, travel the world, and own a sick ass homestead. I think it did get better? It’s only shit for poorfags.
>>533954760i like this info. it made me happy
>>533952813I am a millennial. I became racially aware when I was very young. I vaguely remember a time before the migrant hoards, I remember how infinite everything felt, how the minority problem was yes a problem, but not a slow and ominous doom march slowly destroying everything like it is now. Civilization felt like it would go on for ever back then, the West would still develop, and there would still be White areas, and therefor peace in many places would be the default. War only belonged to a scattering of black areas in America, and in Europe effectively not at all. Then one day I read news about the migrants being shipped into Europe by the hundreds of thousands. I knew how bad that was immediately, I had a sense of doom, and a knowledge of what those migrants would bring. I remember walking through a hall at my school, a wretched institution of false intellect and servitude to the very people engineering armageddon. I walked that hall that day knowing of this unfolding apocalypse, and having to pretend it was not happening, and having to go about my daily life anyway. Since that day the nightmare has only unfolded further. That sense of peace and infinity is gone. Every stable area outside of perhaps Japan seems to have a time limit. And I am not Japanese. This is a world where Whites are perpetually under attack, with only small pockets of stability and peace. But those small pockets will not be defended effectively if they are contested. We are at war forever now. The governments of the west are simply the vanguard of the untermensch hoards, so there is no government, no social contract, no peace, no stability. There is only a slow, subtle game, of White flight, of maneuvering, of surviving despite the evil and ambitions of politicians and untermensch.
>>533952813I mean he biked out Wall Street almost immediately, it’s really soon the far left started turning on him
WE DID NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYTHING AND STILL DONT EAT SHIT RETARDS
>>533955759If you were a trve millennial, then you would know better than to make a tl;dr post.
>>533952813Class of 04 here. In 2008 life was ironically good but rationally shit. Obama was funny and politics was ironic and funny. South park was ironic and funny. Life in 2008 was shittier than today unironically.
>>533956028GET FUCKED LYIG POS YOU WERE BORN IN 04 YA LIL BIOTCH
>>533952813I became extremely racist when I realized whites were becoming a minority via immigration policy in school, so no.
>>533953241Gen X was the most stoked for Obama at the time and I'm not going to let them pretend they were too cool for it and slink away into obscurity and denialism like they usually do.
>>533956088No you retard. In 2008 it was the recession and we were all dirt poor but at least we could laugh at the world. Hope is a four letter word and that's what we had back then. Today we don't even have hope anymore but instead a cold hard rational view nothing will ever magically get better. You had 2016 until now to prep. If you didn't you are fucked.
>>533954637it's not 'easy to say in hindsight' he literally talked about how jewish granddaughter in his first campaign, retard.>rugpullHe was quite literally the only anti-immigration candidate, vooting for any other candidate would have been exponentially more retarded. Your gaslighting doesn't work here.
>>5339541421994 is the faggot year so it makes sense you're a faggot/probably trans.
>>533956187>In 2008 it was the recession and we were all dirt poorKEEP PROVING WHAT A RETARDED VIRGIN YOU ARE ZOOMCEL
>>533953609neocons are not tradcons.
>>533956247In 2008 jobs were scarce and if you had a job you were a king among men. But the whole hope and change of Obama's populism was fake. Those who worked and invested made it but those who hoped for the government to care for them floundered.
>>533952813They were.
>>533956263WRITTEN LIKE A RETARDED ZOOMIE WITH LITERALLY NO CONCEPTION OF THE REAL WORLD BECAUSE YOU WERE STILL SHITTING YOUR DIAPER IN 08 WHILE WE WERE ALL LIVING LIKE DGAF KINGS WITH MORE FREEDOM THAN YOU WILL EVER COMPREHEND
>how do we not admit Biden made things worse but still reference Obama via "Change"? I wonder how much the PR firm that solved that via pic-related made.
>>533955759>imagemathisfun?
>>533952813No?I voted for Ron Paul and realized what a scam this entire country was when King Nigger won the electionI haven't voted since.
>>533956390Things did get better financially but not socially. Obama's populist movement was fake. Just like Trump's. America is a capitalist country so that means if you don't work you don't get money so you can't invest and you lose. Trump's 2016 populist policies were for whites like obamas were for blacks. I remember all this shit, especially since this thread is reminding me. >Obamaphones>Free healthcare(Obamacare)Trump:>Wall>Tax cuts>immigration reformI would say Trump 2024 is like 2016 apart from all the populist nonsense.
>>533956964(((investing))) only works for people who have enough money to where they don't actually need to invest
>>533952813Only retards thought Obama was going to make things better. The rest of us saw him for the socialist faggot he is.
>>533956932You can't fight the central bank as the government passed the federal reserve act in 1913. It's law and it's the status quo for well over 100 years now. The entire economy is based on markets and the fiat USD.>>533957038No investing is when you place your excess income into the markets investing in growing the economy. Those who bet on the market shrinking have been losing for over 40 years now. Those who sold during the 2008 recession lost it all and could never gain it back. Yeah times were tough but if you sold low you are shit out of luck today.
Only sick people would expect Obama to make things better
>>533953596FUCK off, its time to become an oblast
>>533956018what abpitiful wretch you are to gatekeep being a fucking millennial lmao holy shit
>>533952813There was a black lady on the radio that believed she was going to get a new kitchen and wouldn't have to pay for gas anymore.
>>533952871>>533958211like it was yesterdayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8lXEY8O0tQ
>>533952813Only fucking retards thought a nigger would make things better.
>the *insert 12-17 years of age childhood years* were the best time, trust me bro
>>5339528132006-2010 and2013 - 2018 were golden agesit really went to shit after 2018 especially during China virus Vaxxpocalypse
>>533961449We used to have hopium back then because of the possibility of getting rich off crypto or the markets.
>>533952813Don't forget all you eurofags were cheerleading us on to vote in the first black president as well. Saying how progressive America was going to be with views that align with Europe.
the world i was born into no longer exists image is actually accuratei used to love technologyi despise it now and wish it never accelerated as quickly as it did
>>533954493oof, some janny still got you salty, huh
>>533953486don't forget this place got flooded with redditors in 2015>>533961892house prices in Australia were already fucked but renting a home was cheaper and easier, also the fear back then was getting flooded with Chinks, now we're getting flooded with Poos, pakis niggers,sand niggers and jungle asians instead
>>533962906Real estate has been fucked since 2010. The corrupt foreigners place their ill gotten gains into western real estate as an investment. So their governments can't take it back from them. Bitcoin is similar, it's the only reason why it exploded so high was corrupt assholes are hiding their wealth in it. And of course the markets generally as well. This world is full of corrupt apes stealing money and trying to hide their bananas from the stronger apes.
