Nothing has felt normal since 2019 or maybe early 2020. Feels like I am going crazy trying to remember how things used to be. Am I just getting older or are things genuinely just so much worse now? I have good days but a lot of bad ones. I don't know where I'm going with any of this, maybe other anons get it because I'm not even sure myself.
Yes
I'd argue 2016 was the point where everything went wrong
When you are 80 remember how things used to be. If you aren't 80 what are you doing looking backwards. I don't remember how yesterday felt ohh woe is me.
>>537228552Everything is as normal as a sexually deprived man surrounded by kids.
The COVID hysteria and shutdowns traumatized the world.
I'm starting to think we'll need to kill some people and carve out our own place in the world just to live a normal life.
>>537228552How old are you? Every psyop that happens further demoralizes and traumatizes people. There was a dramatic vibe shift post 9-11, iPhone in 2007, post 2012 when clown world floored the gas, the false flag mass shootings, covid, and now endless wars… every time something happens an entire cohort/generation gets further demoralized
>>537229047That's when it became became clear something fucked was happening but 2020 was when the sheer scale of it became apparent. It was rolling long before 2016 though, we just didn't notice.
>>537228552OP is correct in terms of broad psychological perception/feeling across industrial society, and the timeline reference.Since mid-2019 the global economy has been in free fall collapse. That's why covid was released from Wuhan (and the never before in human history global lockdown of human activity), to create $12 trillion additional liquidity for the investment banks to continue their black box global gigacasino. 2022 was Ukraine war that kept the global economy charged for about a year, then 2023 the SVB collapse. After that, NVIDIA became the greatest hero in the history of """tech""" and now we have AI datacenters: none of which has stopped the six-year global implosion of the economy.
>>537228552Niggers constantly tongue my anus nowIt's tiring
>>537229047>>537229473>2016 went wrongIn terms of global geopolitics, the 2013-2014 Maidan coup was when the globalist corporatist deep state implemented*WHOLE OF SOCIETY* <------ look it upcrackdowns across the west. This is the point at which they realized a populist awareness was growing across the west.Two years later in America, Donald Trump came to the forefront of the Republican Party primary campaigns. And the deep state actively turned their propaganda inward to be used on the U.S. populace itself. To destroy populism and all shreds of populist consciousness - awareness.

I'll take my whiskey neet my coffee black and my bed at 3 your too sweet for me your to sweet for me... So a tradie has a electrician job emergency responder for the DEA building or whatever.He drinks Hennessy from the backs of naked strippers. During COVID Lock downs and distancing. Who party?Jeffery whoooa.Pretends to forget his phone.People across the street in the targeted harassment thread. Oh that would be true if you where talking about the Jews the jew Jeffery Epstein. Y'all have a good one The merc with a mouth?
>>537228552You're just getting older. For me it was 2008. For some anons it was even before that.There is no specific point in time when things turned to shit. It has been a steady decline since whenever we've had our golden age.
>>537228552>It was November 1st, 1951...
>>537230636I blame the normans
>>537229178It just made sexlessness more common and inceldom numbers rising, coincidentally the hypergamy has increased and women have become more loathsome>>537230299Late 2000s was alright since at least we had decent entertainment
>>537228552Society as we know it died in 2019. Normies are just kinda of running on muscle memory and trying to make it work and hope it all just one day becomes good again. If you make it another 30 years, you will look back on your childhood like it was some fever dream. And you'll be one of the lucky ones who can actually remember a time before everything was shit, most around you won't by that point, and they'll think you're some incoherent schizophrenic for even bringing it up. Have you ever spoken to a 90+ year old? You wouldn't believe the shit they tell you either, but most of it's true.
>>537228552Learn astrology
For a lot of us, it was sept 11, 2001. Something happened then that altered the timeline, and it wasn't JUST the attack, i'm sure of it.
>>537233293>And you'll be one of the lucky ones who can actually remember a time before everything was shit, most around you won't by that point, and they'll think you're some incoherent schizophrenic for even bringing it up.We are already at that point, lol. Most people are just moving along with the "new normal", and very few are actually aware of just how much was lost. I feel like I am going insane.
>>537228552>2019brother, nothing has felt normal since 2011. i seriously hope you guys didn't forget this
>>537228552More like 2008.No bailouts in the .com bust. That shit was normalized in 2008.
facebook post: /pol/ edition
>>537229047Ya I came here to say 2014-2016 is when things started to feel different and “duller”, time sped up etc,
>>537229207If you believe that is the only way then you admit you are not fit to survive
>>537228552I'm sorry, is there a problem?
>>537228552Your best days are over and only the slow painful grind to pointless old age awaits.
Everything after 2016 feels like a fever dream.
>>537235298> Waaaaaaah violence badLOL pathetic
>>537228552It does feel worse since 2020. 100%. We've all snapped.
>>537229438The only thing that was on par with COVID was 9/11. None of that other shit compares when it comes to significance.

>>537229047this.
>>537235151the enron rugpull has been completely memoryholed in between those 2 econ failures and it was fucking huge. i personally remember friends dads in tears over their pensions evaporating overnight. career blue collar dudes got absolutely raped and it was just>shut the fuck up>thanks for playing no refunds
>>5372285522019?? How old are you my dude? Everything has been absolutely garbage since 2008. The early 2000s were ok, there were some fun times but nothing will ever feel as good as the 90s. All the hope and good vibes we had were killed on Sept 11 2001. Any anons want to chime in about the 80s? I was born in the late 80s so I have no memory of it, but I heard it was comfy.
>>53723656890s was better
>>537229207Killing people is not normal
>>537236745there is nothing more normal than self defense and the will to survive
>>537236568I was born in 1972.
>>537228552Do you feel like winning yet!?I feel change is in the air! Affordable houses. Zoomers getting laid! White people making babies left and right!That multi billion dollar deal!? That my friend is called WINNING! The american way baby!I can already see all these immigrants being deported and that wall going UP! Remember the wall!? Is gonna be built any day now!Americans are so cool! Shadilay and MAGA bros!Remember, for every donation the trump administration gets one foreskin is saved!
Nobody lives past 80
>>537228552Covid never actually ended, it still spreads in two massive waves per year. Governments and corporates just said it ended so the average person would go back to spending in shops, eating out and filling corporate offices. Covid also has the potential to cause mild IQ loss with each infection, which explains why people have been getting noticeably dumber.That's why the world still doesn't feel normal, because it isn't.
>>537237238Thanks, will improve my demoralization speech, you gave me a funny idea lol
>>537228552HELP I'M STEPPIN' INTO THE TWILIGHT ZONETHIS IS MADHOUSE, FEELS LIKE BEING CLONEDMY BEACON'S BEEN MOVED UNDER MOON AND STARWHERE AM I TO GO, NOW THAT I'VE GONE TOO FAR?
>>537228552People are godless now. Everything from addictions, narcossism, to raising rent to squeeze the tenant is a sign of this. Empty society.
>>5372356479/11 was a nothingburger, 08 was the real deal. Nobody actually gave a shit about some buildings blowing up no matter how much they larped over pretending to care. Post 2012 was the time everyone realized that America was now permanently a poor crackhead shit hole and 08 wasn’t a downturn, it was the new normal. Covid was traumatic because it was when everyone realized the powers that be would rather nuke the economy than undue the 2008 austerity.
>>537228552I got lost in a video game thread and I remembered the before times, if only briefly.
>>5372290472016 is when the dream ended for better or for worse
>>537234818That attack could happen again tomorrow and it wouldn't hurt a fraction as hard. People would be making memes the same day.The world got dimmer when it happened
>>537237353>Covid was traumaticfor normies. for me i got random checks and there was no traffic. hells yeah brother man
>>537228552t. oldfag. Every year since 2000 feels like a joke and blends together. The 2000- itself I can’t take seriously. Like it’s not a real year number, it’s a stupid meme. I know what the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s were all like with an image in my head. I don’t know any of these decades now. People reminiscing about the the 00s or 10s doesn’t make sense. I don’t remember years or associated them any more. 2003, ‘14, ‘26 it’s all nothing
>>537237238Yup. People trip over words far more
>>5372374002017 was the last year it looked like the economy might actually reach a pre-2008 standard of living for normal people. 2018 and 2019 it was clear that this wouldn’t happen but it still looked like the economy would be firmly back to at least being better than it was from 08 to 16. 2020 was the year everyone realized that the future would actually be worse than 08-16.
>>537237514Normalfags loved Covid, they were the ones who wanted to drag it out as long as possible because they were literally getting paid to LARP that there was a pandemic. Covid was traumatic for people who actually understand how countries and economies function, because it was the point that it became clear that America was definitively, irreversibly a dying nation.
>>537237543Everyone is weirdly tired and forgetful since 2020, lots of people feel like they have brain fog or can't think straight, there's a reason for that. Covid causes brain inflammation. Your brain can recover from it, but you need to stop getting reinfected, because each new infection resets the clock on recovery.Thankfully covid seems to be dying off on its own. Wastewater levels are the lowest right now since March 2020. But constant reinfections is a big part of why the last 6 years has felt like a weird dream.
>>537235393THISIt's like we all survived the zombie apocalypse and everyone acts like it never happened or that they never hyped it up like they did.
>>537237708Like forgetting that covid isn’t real and it’s the vax
>>537237708The rise of brain fog retardation started a couple of years before Covid. If I had to guess it’s probably related to 5G, since it started around the time the new towers were going up and got noticeably bad when phones started switching over in 2019.
>>537228552You must be young. It's been a lot longer than that. We're all in this together btw
>>537237952it's nanobots
>>537228552thats when youve been poisoned, your DNA altered. they vaxxers have shedded, and the jews have put their "vaccines" in everything, you also radioactively irradiated (also a component of the vaccine)
I think the dominos started falling in 2014. Gamergate totally obliterated online culture, it was the first time that the entire internet was involved in some pointless squabble about literally fucking nothing. I abstained from caring and genuinely lost friends for not being pro or anti GG.It led to the creation of most of the online talking head shitheels that control discourse now.It primed 4chan and Reddit for being utterly flooded with deranged, insane Amerishart politics.I genuinely think covid made people retarded. Honestly I think it made me retarded, honestly. I only got it once, but ever since my writing quality has dropped dramatically. I used to be able to write tens of pages a night for internet posts, little stories, etc. Now I struggle to even put a single page of my shitty novel together. I'm a few hundred pages in, it's all outlined and ready to go, I just struggle to conjure words together in my head. Even writing this medium effort 4chan post took me way longer than it should have.Coof also coincided with a massive invasion of jeets here. Before they were quarantined to Toronto and Surrey, now literlaly everywhere smells of poo. I fucking hate it here.
>>537237708a better explanation would be things like microplastics causing cognitive issues, fluoride, etc..Being the most "connected" generation of humans to ever exist where everyone is online, this has created a culture where you expect everybody around you to be as dialed in as you are.>Huh? You don't know about NAC? >You don't take B Complex in the morning? Are you retarded?>You still watch porn? Didn't you read about how it affects your dopamine reward system?but in reality there's tons of people who are complete goyim and wandering this modern world completely disconnected from "the source." They drink their Mountain Dew, they watch their porn, they smoke their weed.That's all they know, that's all they will ever be.You may have successfully tapped into this source of knowledge and used it to benefit your life, but a lot of people haven't. They are completely at the whim of their surroundings. The most evil thing is this resulting state leads them to lose their will and care for themselves. Even if you tell them>Oh you're suffering from X? There's an easy fix for that, it's Y.They just don't care because it hasn't been imposed upon them in their consuming routine.
>>537228552nothing catastrophic or world-changing happened in 2020 so it's probably just you.
>>537228552>2019For me it was 2009
2019 surely was a hell of a year that redpilled even the normiest of normies>Jeff Epstein arrest - confirming the conspiracy theory of Jewish child raping cabal and its media silence after he “committed suicide”>COVID and vaccine/mask mandate shit>George Floyd BLM riot and media going full support despite it being not only illegal but also against any covid measures- as if those two are two different scenarios that werent supposed to happen simultaneously
>>537238292I'm sure microplastics are part of it. Governments don't seem to give a fuck about microplastics, despite it being a massive problem. Fluoride is present in such low quantities in the mains water, well below the threshold where it causes any cognitive effect. Fluoride only causes detrimental effects at levels far above what is used to treat drinking water. The dose makes the poison.
Shits been going downhill actually noticably since about 2012, realistically since like the 70s with the 90s being sort of a dead cat bounce, and 2020 just pointing the line straight down and shooting downward as fast as possible. Doesn't help that it feels like 2019-2024 just didn't fuckin happen, like I'm shopping for a car right now and I'm looking at a 2017 and thinking to myself "2017 not bad that's only like 4 years old", and then it occurred to me that it's 2000 fucking 26 and it's actually nearly a decade old. Crazy how it feels like we just skipped 5 years into the future around the start of the scamdemic.
>>537238422Fluoride is kept at low doses but it’s the synergistic effects it has with other substances that produce the desired results.
>>537238383People have amnesia. There is place in my mind I can access only rare late nights reminiscing with my brothers or very old friends, where I can deeply feel what it was back then. What the world was like and what it was like to be in that world. And when it happens it’s shocking and mind blowing. We feel like we lived on a different planet. We must have lived 500 lifetimes. Everyone has forgotten, and few can really remember. If we could remember all the time there is no way we would stand for this world.
That is life, change generally as we age. And we are undergoing a tech quickening... social changes, information overload and the world that we are aware of is instant. Perfectly normal, not to feel normal! And yet, it's just normal.lol
>>537229207I am thinking of two other possibilities.1. I exit.2. I rise above the shit, become a biger shit, and live on.Killing others is not even on my list. Immagine the work... hell no. lol
>>537228552Nothing has felt normal since 2001
>>537228552Bro, I can tell you nothing is normal since 2001
All the NPCs took the vaxx that will perpetually poison them to death.
>>537238483That timeskip is the worst part last thing I remember I was 22 and now I'm 30 at the end of this year with nothing to show for it since covid derailed my 20s.
>>537237692People with no life and who think getting less than min wage gibs is a lot loved it. So of course the NEET welfare demographic of 4chan. Never saw as many junkies and public overdoses as I did in 2022. It fucked people up really badly.
>>537237521This is a good point to make. I used to categorize time in decades as well and remember events and apply them to the current year. This stopped for me around the time covid hit. I remember barely hanging on until around 2023 then everything started to unravel. Nothing makes sense anymore and i can't apply context to past events.
>>537228552Anon everyone and their fucking dog know shits changed in the past 10-20 years. First it went with spontaneous fear mongering with terrorism, wars and shit blowing up. Then it went to censorship, one by one we had stuff fine years ago suddenly being prohibited. People now self censor themselves and filter their own vocabulary even in public. 10-20 year olds now speak what I call the "monetise approved slang" where they replace banned words with abbreviations or stupid censorship. (SA, grape, CSAM, etc). People are still fucked up from Covid, every corner of the world suffered through it, even completely remote shithole areas still had to have covid regulations and force mandates. That kind of level of tyranny and power our governments have broke the normies mind and spirit (whatever they had left). Its all fucked up.
2018 was the last real year.
>>537240145Yes but even so i used to remember the past and apply to it to the present in context. I could understand what life was like in the 50s, 60s or 70s and apply it to current year in context. I can't do that anymore. It's like the past is completely dead and gone. No longer living history but just history. And now life is this brave new world type shit where nothing makes sense anymore.
>>537228552Life goes on and on and on
>>537228552You are living in an unending perpetual psy-op since 9/11 you just fucking wised up after covid part cause that's where state got physical
>>537235647/thread
>>537228552Yes it is. But its not the first time and not the last timebefore 2016 was last time before inshittificationand even before that 2009 was last time old time of peak internet But future which awaits us is grim , its only downhill not the uphillBlame occupywallstreat for that
>>537236568The 80s were slow and the light was golden. The music was incredible. Lots of unspoken family violence though. No one had phones to record what happened and the child murders by parents never made the news so when I see the youngsters stepping up and torching their parents for sexual and physical abuse including trafficking and people believing them now it’s a vast improvement over what we went through
>>537240907This. We’re all Iraqis in abu ghraib now
I've also noticed that every single illness is always a fucking atrocity whenever I get sick now. Anyone else? I distinctly recall that before 2020, colds would suck, but I would get plenty of mild and mostly ignorable symptoms. Now, every single time I get sick, it's a complete facemelting trainwreck that bends me over a barrel. Not only are the symptoms always 12/10, but they last like 8 days and residual symptoms linger for weeks. I'm convinced 90% of circulating strains of illnesses are some form of bioweapon or experiment that either leaked or was deliberately unleashed. I'm getting over the most diabolical sinus infection ever and that shit just wasn't right at all.
>>537240854Well life was supposed to end for various reasons but it never did. >Where are the mass vax dies offs? >Where is the civilization ending hyperinflation in the USA causing another global depression?Why do the markets just magically keep going up with the debt without hyperinflation and a crash? It makes no logical sense when you apply statistics to the past and present in context. There should've been a mass population event already. But all i see are new houses being built, new businesses, new people being born.And all the same time the debt keeps rising. You would figure since things are costing more and people can afford less then the economy would stop rising. But it's not. SpaceX is worth 3 trillion dollars. It makes no sense where this money is coming from. How can some people be so rich to continue to fleece the dumb? It's never ending. New births=new slave caste=rising markets forever. You see? I just cracked the code. This world is a doomed plane. It's a jewish hell world. Full of dumb retarded slaves and oppressive masters. And it's never going to end and it's only getting worse.
