it's really only three things, anon:
1. jewish credit dried up, i.e. bad economy
2. spics and indians imported en masse, i.e. no jobs
3. liberal wokeism pushed by all major media

there are several more secondary causes mostly in the tech space which amount to consolidation/monopolization, but it's not really all that complicated overall.

yeah, 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.

>>542449841
i 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

>>542448541
20 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.

Look 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.

Obesity way up
Random health complications and deaths way up (even beyond what the obesity rate would indicate)
Sex way down
Normies more schizophrenic
Non-normies less intelligent and less sensitive
Extreme retardation and pile-driving from alternates to mainstream politician/media
Music completely dead (in the West)
Everything else is pretty similar. If recent events cause burgerland to get raped further then we can revisit this.
>>
>>542448541
There are lots of differences one could mention, an almost endless list really.

People were not terminally online
Privacy was the expectation and surveillance was the exception
Europe was practically immigrant-free
There was still some manufacturing that wasn't outsourced to China
Practically no third-worlders on the internet
Saying 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

Nigger 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.

Because 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.

Who 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?

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.

>>542454489
I 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.
