Help me articulate the differences between life today and the world 20 or more years ago. I feel like everything is completely alien feeling but it’s hard to put it into concise or succinct terms.
People have lost faith in each other
>>542448541I was happy in 2006. The economy didn't necessarily (comparatively) suck dick either. That's a good start.
>>542448560Having faith in the overwhelming majority of people is a mistake.
>>542448560That pretty much sums it up.We all suck and we all know it.
>>54244854120 years ago still exists and most people are still trying to live in that worldthe public consciousness has awakened to the realities of what drives human nature and people are rightfully pulling back to protect themselves from the hivemind
>>542448541HE POSTED IT AGAIN LMOA xdddd
>>542448541America was still an implicitly white, Christian nation although that was fading fast. Once king nigger took control we entered nigger clown hell world
>>542448541it's really only three things, anon:1. jewish credit dried up, i.e. bad economy2. spics and indians imported en masse, i.e. no jobs3. liberal wokeism pushed by all major mediathere are several more secondary causes mostly in the tech space which amount to consolidation/monopolization, but it's not really all that complicated overall.

>>542448541White America still existed 20 years ago.
>>542448560yeah, but the boomers were already like that long before 2001. people talk less and hate each other more these days i think.Not that it matters. They were always just infantile jew slaves who cant think on their own.
>>542449841i never accepted trannies, faggots, foreig invaders or our airhead traitorous women to make decisions for me but i was a child and never had power or money in this jew enslaved and "educated" world.Jews love to try to convince us things have changed but they havn't. Theyll always bee the same people that brainwash8 ed the Boomers through the schools, news and entertainment. theyll never change no matter how much the internet exposes them. THey need theyre slaves and they want the rest of us dead
>>54244854120 years ago was actually a pretty great time. Other then the Iraq war there wasn't really any other big war happening. Economically it was a golden age for working class Americans. At the time they believed home ownership was a right so they just gave home loans to everyone without even checking there credit. Then 2008 happend and they realized nobody can actually pay for those loans and all of a sudden everyone had to be financial knowledgeable. Times were safer to this was before Obama becoming president and niggers running rampant about there delusions of being opressed, before that people actually didn't pay attention to race. Women were also easier towards averafe guys, this was common during the 90s and it spilt into the 2000s, there was no dating apps so women actually dated now they just hookup and get used up by some dude thats 6'5. Everyone was freindly youd see people from all walks of life becoming freinds this was before mass social media and online bullying happend. All in all the mid 2000s around 2002-2007 were a great period, we will never see it again.

>>542448541society is not cohesive, the people are atomized, thus everyone acts in a mostly individualistic way
Main difference in UK and Europe is the speed running of importing browns by our political elites. Cites are overwhelmed now and they're spreading to the countryside. Our government is actively placing them in villages.
>>542448541Look at 2006 vs. today. It’s entirely night and day, and frankly, we got the raw end of the deal.Back in 2006, the oldfags on /b/ were living in the Wild West. The internet wasn't some hyper-monetized, sanitized corporate prison. If you wanted to go online, you sat at a clunky desktop, logged onto early 4chan or message boards, and when you walked away from the monitor, you were free. People actually hung out IRL without filming it. You could buy a house for the price of a used Honda civic today, getting a job didn't require beating an AI resume-filtering boss fight, and the slop we call social media didn't exist to fry everyone's attention span.Today? Total clown world. Everything is completely hyper-normalized and tracked. You carry a corporate surveillance brick in your pocket 24/7 that feeds you algorithmic brain rot designed to maximize your cortisol levels. Everyone my age is totally disconnected but constantly visible, obsessing over their "personal brand" on TikTok while completely lacking basic social skills. Real life has been entirely gamified, except the economy is rigged, rent is an absolute joke, and the trad life is basically a fantasy locked behind a paywall none of us can afford. We went from anonymity and freedom to total algorithmic captivity, and everyone is just pretending it's fine.- Gemini, prompt:articulate the difference in life to between today and 20 years ago from the perspective of an adolescent 18 year old boy that frequents 4chan
>>542448541Obesity way upRandom health complications and deaths way up (even beyond what the obesity rate would indicate)Sex way downNormies more schizophrenicNon-normies less intelligent and less sensitiveExtreme retardation and pile-driving from alternates to mainstream politician/mediaMusic completely dead (in the West)Everything else is pretty similar. If recent events cause burgerland to get raped further then we can revisit this.
>>542448541There are lots of differences one could mention, an almost endless list really. People were not terminally onlinePrivacy was the expectation and surveillance was the exception Europe was practically immigrant-freeThere was still some manufacturing that wasn't outsourced to ChinaPractically no third-worlders on the internetSaying it's the jews was very much frowned upon Most people did not notice the subversive propaganda in the media, so they remember it fondly
>>542448541Simpler easy time .All destroyed by boomer greed.No cap, shit's fucked bro.
>>542449726Nigger that would have came anyway, this is the natural state of technological progress. It's a great filter. Everyone gets dumber from here on. We used to think that the internet would elevate human intelligence, and humanity would take a giant leap forward. Once it became clear the opposite was happening, those that had hope got to see the face of the humanity they were rooting for. Now AI is seen as something we should be weary of.
>>542448541Because of smartphones… 20 years ago feels like it was literally 300 years ago now. 2008 didn’t feel that far away from 1993. I am enjoying what’s happening now and I think it’s funny how utterly fucked in the head everyone is now. I am extremely grateful for the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s before everything started going to hell. Although it feels back then was a dream now compared to now. Just watching movies from 2000 or 2003 feels like you are looking into a different dimension.
>>542448541The elites have greedily stripped too much from the world and the average personKilled the goose that was laying golden eggs
>>542450303>20 years ago was actually a pretty great time. Other then the Iraq warWho gives a shit about the Iraq war unless you were stupid enough to enlist? That war had no baring on whether shit was good here or not…. And it was good.You are like these fags you see on these old nostalgia videos you see on Tik Tok or YouTube….>damn I wish it was still the 80’s what a great decade>arrrrgh the 80’s weren’t great! That’s when HIV started!Yeah so fucking what? Just cuz a bunch of faggots got AIDS in the 80’s means that the amazing childhood I had wasn’t actually amazing?
>>542451332Hi
>>54244854120 years ago there was hope for the future. Now there is no hope, we know we're heading into a black hole of annihilation.
>>542451332We had an opportunity to see ourselves separate from the barbary of the past... but alas, It wasn't meant to be, and it's become clear that barbary was not a choice, but a feature.
For me the biggest issue really seems to be smart phones and social media by extension- in the past you could basically just be a normal person and live life genuinely without people trying to shame or embarass you by putting pictures or footage of you online. if you wanted to ask a random person out in public there wasn’t really any harm in asking, worst they could say is no. Or if you wanted to read a book on a subway or something, or play a handheld game, no one would record or photograph you because of what you were reading or how you look playing a game minding your own business. If you wanted to wear a certain outfit or DIDNT care about how your outfit looked and you didn’t care about looking homeless or dirty or something, no one could photograph you to put online based on your appearance. applies to just anything really. Maybe your hair is fucked up from a haircut and now someone is photographing you in the grocery store or whatever. basically I feel like now we are in a world where everyone has to be hyper aware at all times how they look or act because of this shit and it’s unnatural and it’s like freezing society mentally into the mindset they would have had growing up being insecure young people. but now that’s for your entire life. People say they can’t even go outside at night and jog or run in the morning without people posting pictures of them from their retarded doorbell cameras or whatever. everythinf you do now is potentially suspicious.
>>542454256Simply not caring would set you free
>>542448541Browner
>>542448541>Articulate the differences between today and 20 years agowell, 20 years ago i was tired of yelling at you about aliens and jews and black helicopters and commies and such and being called crazy racist ect for my trouble......and today its the same except you are somehow even more annoying and stupid, and my back hurts. fuck you.
>>542454081Please nigger, in 2006 we were well into American empires extinction burst. Iraq was done and dusted, the color revolutions were brewing and the housing bubble was as obvious as your sweat pants embarrassment at Walmart. Everything from there was denouement. But no "nobody saw it coming! You can't predict the future!!!!"
>>542454489I don’t know if I can do that or not. genuinely. in order to function at all in this society it seems like you have to care in order to have less problems, but it’s a paradox because this is also a massive lingering problem that follows you at all times. It just doesn’t seem fair that we even need to “let go” and “not care” about modern problems like these which never even existed before. it’s impossible to genuinely live your life while being constantly aware of this stupid shit.
>>542448560well said
tv and magazines mattered a lot more. it was easier for someone to curate their image how they wanted.so maybe it was always a fantasy.
>>542448671It used to not be when most people running the show were white
ww3 has begun, people are mindless consumers, including of slop on their phones, mindlessness, brainrot, feminism has gotten worse, women are losing and they know it, so it's making them worse and worse people trying to cling on and false pride
>>54244854120 years ago was ok, obviously better than today and we hadn't reached the point of no return yet. 30 years ago was a totally different, far superior world though.
>>542454752The folks with happy lives and happy wives are those who can deceive themselves and by extension their families. They have to buy into the big lies of the system in order to easy life; but need to hold onto their souls. As some french moper said: "There is no solution but illusion"
>>542448560Which is completely logical and expected when you find yourself surrounded by idiots, deviants, and hostile foreign races.
>>542450303>Other then the Iraq warDemocrat-voting retard confirmed.
>>542454968>ww3 has begun,4 u and your fellow big guys. For the rest of the world the great war never ended; not at Versailles for the Germanics; not in the Korean peninsula where the pax americana set them on the path of matriarchal death cults and not on the hochi min trail with agents orange. Welcome back to the war; no need to be a tourist
>>542455201>surrounded by idiots, deviants, and hostile foreignYou mean the ones that your presidential saxophonist pied pipered with black hawk downs in your halycoyn 30 years ago
>>542448541People didn't have smartphones and were less paranoid and crazy.

90% of the people in my country thought it was fine for me to be banned from buying from shops, going outside or having a job. For years.I had family members die from the jab and no one has faced punishment.I'll hate my government and its slaves till the day I die.
too many shitskins,cant drive cant function.dulling of many brilliant edges,once pristine and glistening.
world is great you just need to get away from faggots and niggers. which is no near impossible. thank you mutts and demon kikes
>>542448541>the world 20 or more years agoWe had a pointless war in the middle east then, but at least your president hadn't campaigned explicitly on no more wars in the middle east
