Old internet established communities for just about everybody, no matter how niche. New internet doesn't do that anymore mostly because it's more manageable to have everyone be on a select few sites.
>A: surveillance state purposes
>B: It's more profitable, even though it's frying everybody brains' because of things like endless scrolling and algorithms causing people to either numb or eventually pop like a kernel

pokemon generations 1-5

once gen 6 happened everyone started killing themselves again
>>
>>534478001
Because anti-bullying efforts in schools worked and teachers generally improved by that dip and the old bad ones started retiring, but then social media happened and fucked everything again. Most of these suicide cases you will see some social media retardation or caused by the proliferation of stupid ideas from social media

Cheap cigarettes, cheap booze, hot girls, no social media. Plus the whole post-9/11 feel good Murrica Fuck Yeah era where everyone was happy. IPhone damned subsequent generations to the hell of constant scrutiny.

Imo it seems like these “anti-bullying” movements favor bullies over victims. Bullies know how to be subtle but effective with their bullying, but the victim can only get attention by being loud. Unfortunately the (((school administrators))) will almost always give the victim shit for screaming louder.

Anti-bullying efforts in my country were called "zero tolerance for violence" and they punished you for defending yourself against a bully, I kid you not.

Because of this as soon as you encountered one your day was ruined no matter the outcome. Either they punished you if you lost or the teacher did if you managed to defend yourself.

Shit was fucked.

they kill themselves because they're out of shape, fat and ugly.
>>
>>534480367
Being out of shape and fat is a function of being mentally disturbed.
They kill themselves because they are mentally disturbed.
Why are they mentally disturbed is the question and the answer is too antisemitic for the so called modern sensibilities.

>>534478001
Less muslims, trannies.
Both are prominent causes for and participants in suicide.

>>534478001
No war against men yet. The rise in suicide is exclusively due to young males, mostly white. The suicide rate has skyrocketed since 2010 which is when the term "incel" was popularized.

Jobs payed nothing, but you somehow had enough money.
Good deals and dollar menus.
You could buy beater cars for under $1000 that would get you through school.
Economy was overall really good.

College wasn't nearly as expensive.
No smartphones, just basic cellular and payphones.
Music was still good.
People still had house parties.
Movies from 1985-2005 were amazing.
No hipsters.
Only nerds followed politics.

It was easy as fuck to get laid.

It's been steadily downhill since then.
Not even Millenial-cope-nostalgia,

EVERYTHING was better.

I am 38.

Life does not get better, and having such a shit starting point, I feel bad for the.next generations.

Boomers generationally fucked us all by believing da j00z, but Gen Z really got it.

This and the racial problem are the biggest deals
>>
>>534478001
Combination of the internet and social media starting to take off, the economy recovering and starting to boom after the dot com crash, and no obvious clear threats to national safety after the fall of the Soviet Union and China adopting a free market.
Even after 9/11, it seemed like a far-away issue. There was no mass migration from turd world countries yet, so brown people were still viewed as a novelty in many places.

Harry Potter did it I swear. They all started reading Harry Potter and then immediately got into corruption fantasy

The internet and the smartphone played a big role too. Before, you could escape social life after work or school. After, you couldn’t. So this combination of hopelessness that came in along with the internet providing a constant ability to commiserate or get bullied made things worse.
>>
>>534478001
Hope and opportunity were still things. Yes, even after 9/11 and the Iraq war. There was still hope among young people of a turn around.

These days hope and opportunity are mocked. Young people are more pessimistic. They are probably correct to be.

You could still connect with friends but weren’t glued to device.

Everything you did was not recorded
You could say nigger and faggot

Being bullied by the big kids builds character
>96% white people
