It feels like the last time America felt *real* and not a scripted mess of slop was before the mid-2010s.

I'm talking everyday communication and socialization felt more natural, people weren't obsessed with identities, and politics didnt really creep into sports, games, school, etc.

What changed around 2013-2014 that shifted into this timeline 10+ years and counting?

I've been leaving worse and worse replies online ever since I realized how rotten it all is, coupled with boredom. There's no repercussion to lowering the discourse online to the most brain-fried ragebait, and there's nothing else to do on this stupid digital box. The internet is becoming collective insanity. Perhaps thats why.

It's cringe and gay to say but one of the largest catalysts was feminism and 'wokeness' ramping up their influence in media which elicited a response from the anyone right of center. The back and forth has only ramped up from there

Occupy Wallstreet. Turns out the government bailing out banks while Americans struggled wasn't so popular. So we saw the rise of feminism, BLM, mass immigration and replacement, identity politics, etc.

They ended the class war so that the masses argued amongst themselves. You will also notice that this is when we saw the rise of billionaires.

See now this is a more likely and favorable reaction that I subscribe to. I think it was less "identity politics" and more "inclusivity politics" because once we started letting women roleplay as CEOs, journalists, etc we started having to pretend their opinions really mattered, until eventually they did.

One major thing that happened was the media creating a competing activist narrative to the occupy wall street movement, the social justice bullshit and blm shit. They succeeded in getting people to yet again fight themselves instead of them.

Occupy wallstreet happened in late 2011, and could have evolved into something much more dangerous for the elitists.

Kony was a definite moment that revealed a certain subsection of the population can be completely lead by the nose - and social media was the perfect platform for these people to capitalise from, I suppose, overt public displays of one's saviour complex. And this spread like a plague.

Another thing that occured to me is, a significant feature of the internet is people displaying their creative side. Artists and musicians etc upload their work for an audience - but there are many, many more people who don't create anything, yet still want to be a 'someone' with an audience - hence we now have egotistical mongs framing themselves as activists or commentators, or straight up lunatics that think lip syncing and dancing like little kids is somehow worthy of putting online, you know? Absolute nobodies without an ounce of talent.

I was too young to have followed this story at the time but looking at it now it's completely bizarre. Is there anywhere I can go for any information at all regarding any CIA contact with Jason Russell (not that that kind of information would necessarily be publicly available)? It seems a bit on the nose for a heavily influential documentary director at the time to do a documentary about human rights issues and suddenly finds himself in a state of full blown psychosis humiliating himself to the public. Can anyone tell me about Kony and the Invisible Children documentary and why the government would have any issues with him?

Tbh I fucking hated the 2010's. So much fake astroturfed, millenial coded "culture". As chaotic and shitty as things are today at least were in an era where there's an honesty about where were at. It's much easier to communicate with people today when there's at least some things that have become obvious enough that everyone can finally agree on

Yes
The rise of Obama was forwarded on the need to put a brown face on USA so the rest of the world couldn't yell insults at us for the 2008 financial crisis without looking racist against Obama. It worked.
How else did a no name senator who didn't show up come out of nowhere to be POTUS?
They needed a (half gay) nigger to hide behind after crashing the world economy. Simple as that.

This feeling is perfectly normal.
This happens a short while after you go through your peak.

When you are most in touch with the zeitgeist, from then on everything gets a little more difficult to understand and you're no longer at your best.

Don't worry, you'll soon be pushing up the daisies.

2008 was the last ok year. 2012 was already woke hell.
Maybe jews overplayed their hand after electing Obama. You can observe TV going from normal to gay faggot nigger shit.
I remember True Blood being the tipping point where the show was good enough to be watched but kept injecting woke shit into the show until it became very hard to watch. After that every show was too woke to watch and didn't have any good qualities to make up for it.

The fact that a child killer can win a "peace" prize only shows that said prize is meaningless. May as well hand one to Trump too. He also murdered children, so why not? The Nobel prize committee has already jumped the shark so may as well go all in.

It's this, people were a step away from outlawing lobbying altogether and the uniparty couldn't have that. People crying about Smith-Mundt are too retarded to understand that law fundamentally just excused propaganda, which had already been happening for decades and now as long as USAGM justifies it as targeting foreign audiences they can get away with whatever. People are too dumb to realize they were already doing this before the act passed, it was an ass covering law because muh internet granted Americans access to foreign media anyway.

2008-2010 so ylennials, women, browns all got internet and social media and by 2010/11 it became extremely popular to advocate for causes like starving niggers, aids niggers, gay niggers, niggers who genocide each other, and malaria nigs.
this was of course the direct predecessor to woke becoming the dominant culture for millennials as they aged into adulthood
