>>16199758
Jews and niggers. Jews used niggers to do it. You can't just say the war machine is bad but that their nuclear weapons are a-ok

I was just thinking about this today. It felt like everything kinda peaked out in the mid-late 90's. Technology has advanced, but optimism has been replaced by nihilism. Even the labor force participation rate peaked out back then and has been in decline ever since. It was like a perfect balance of everything at that time. No one I know feels like that anymore.

6:25 is amazing. it's all amazing actually

the memories I have from back then serve as an anchor everytime I question if the world has gone crazy. the 90s were NOT like this. It only took 1 generation for everything to go completely inverted. it's like everyone just huffed a tub of glue one day and never came back.

Maybe it's information overload caused by the internet. In a while maybe we'll have such an era again, the 1920s, the 1950s, the 1990s... so maybe next will be in 10 years or so.

>>16200219
>n overload caused by the interne
Also false perceptions. You start to think everyone is some transgender liberal faggot who believes 3 year olds can choose their gender identity and that you're literally a nazi if you don't think the health insurance industry should be run by bureaucrats who don't know anything about healthcare. Whereas in reality 99% of people don't care or don't even know about any of this shit.

>>16199722
The 80s and 90s were peak capitalism. Now we're in late stage capitalism.

>>16199722

it's actually hard for me to remember what that was like; 30 yr old boomer. i remember going to the malls around holidays and it was always bustling with life.

now we see marauding shoppers on black friday, fighting over last years overstock. the connectivity of today has somehow removed the humanity from the connection. I dunno what went so wrong with the millennial generation.

I think it was 9/11, the economic recession, the school shootings, and growing up as the first generation to be.. almost organically connected to technology. I mean, all the information in the world at your fingertips and more than you ever wanted, bombarding the senses, vying for your attention, catering to your tastes and world-views; it's driven us mad.

It's easy to remember the past in vivid colors when the world today seems to bleak and gray. I wonder if I'm fooling myself by conflating a simpler time with a better time. But I don't think anyone can argue that the world isn't completely insane right now. We can't turn back, we've gone too far. I wish I knew what to do. The only thing I know is that I need to make it.

>>16200185
I'm confused, where are all the scooters?

>>16200219
I think this is definitely part of it. The human brain was never meant to be stimulated this much from all directions. The 90's will be the only decade in human history where the changeover from the disconnected era of human consciousness switched over to the connected one that we all live in today. Everything is instant gratification now. In the 90's, the world still had mystery, anticipation, discovery etc. The idea of "not knowing" anything is impossible now. The information age killed most of these feelings. In a strange way, it makes life more dull.

>>16200308

There is still a lot I (and you) don't know about the world, you just have to seek it out, because you don't really know how much you don't know, if that makes sense. I'm of the mind that there is an endless amount of unknown information out there.

Everyone needs to accept that the past is gone and it will never return. The best you can do is try to take some of the good things and bring them with you into the future. You must lift and improve yourself (read Bronze Age Mindset). Smart contracts and various DLT are being built atop the existing legacy frameworks and will launch us forward immensely in a relatively short amount of time. I believe this will feel even more accelerated than what you describe about the 90's. Society has stagnated immensely. Personally, I believe this is largely driven by Keynesian economic policy but the truth is that there are many factors involved. The advantage to (You) in this case would be that what is effectively your competition has been eroded for the past several decades and therefore you have that much more of an edge to win out against them. Think of all the people with weak bodies and minds. If you can unironically maintain discipline and cultivate strength they will be even less of a match to you than in an ordinary play-through. Focus on areas with new technology because the aging gatekeepers have been remarkably slow to understand and control these spaces. Not sure what zoomers will be known for yet but imo, millenials have already forked and the mainstream does not realize it. Urbit is one technology that will be attributed to zoomers and this one might actually have civilization bending implications. Imagine computing in a world where you can own your data.

>>16200308
I actually do agree with most of your points anon. However i'd like to add more on that. I just feel weird for having these multi-gender people, societal epidemic, and everything that is considered toxic for our society. Why are they here in the first place? And why is it widespreading? Something, something is wrong with our system nowadays. I'm scared. I can't look at the bright side anymore.

Almost 40 boomer here. The 80s were the last truly great generation. The 90s were still amazing. Internet peaked in the 00s.

SJW nonsense peaked in 2015, but it can come raging back very soon.

>>16199722
That's bullshit. You just remember it that way because it was a time in your life when you had very little to no responsibility. It's not our fault that you're a 35 year old, recovering heroin addict with 2 DUI's that works in a super market and helps out at a support group on the weekends. And i bet you live with your mom and she picks you up from work at night because your license it still suspended for another 5 years. Kys.

>>16200552
I know. It doesn't make any sense out there. The racial and gender volatility, maybe it's some societal reaction to society; some sort of misguided grasping at something they can control, like their identity.

That's part of the reason why we need to make it. To have that financial buffer to buy our way out of this insanity. But I wonder if an isolationist policy can even work in this world anymore.

>>16199850

thanks for this, good stuff

The second half of the 20th century was the optimism bubble with the 90s being peak euphoria, then 9/11 happened marking the end of the bubble and we are returning to the mean.

>>16200436
Of course, but I'm talking about the relevant information that most people need. Think of how much harder it is to surprise or amaze anyone compared to the 90's. We've all seen or read about it one thousand times over by now.

We're all connected to the machine, no one is from a small town anymore.

Just remember you can always switch the phone off for a week and reset. Truly humbling and you’ll get that feeling back, no need for any drugs or what have you. Just turn it off and step outside for a week.

The weirdest thing about my 20s is I no longer feel "in". Every moment of my life from coming to 4chan at 13, I felt like I was the average guy. Now I don't get how shit like yeet is funny but I was probably using the word epic fail on a daily basis when I was 14. Never use spotify and though the rappers akin to sixnine were just ironic, zoomers fucking love this shit and their bastardization of nightcore or whatever it is

>>16200376
I would say its almost all completely disinformation or noise. I also dont think its an accident

>>16200644
Arguably it was the bubble of a bubble of a bubble.

part of it was the music, it was more upbeat, just look at these samples:

Your perception that there are 'multi-gender weirdos' &co taking over the earth is just another example of the funhouse mirror distortions of reality that social media and click culture generate in the pursuit of ad revenue. The gender weirdos are a minority of a minority of the world population, and what's more, they existed before the internet did. The vast MAJORITY of that minority, aside from having weird pronouns or whatever, are also basically normal outside of that weirdness.

The right-leaning idea that the world being taken over by gender clowns, media conspiracy conglomerates and brown people is a funhouse mirror distortion of reality. The left-leaning idea that the world is being taken over by an evil axis of nazis, racists and misogynists is a funhouse mirror distortion of reality. ALL hyperbolic images of reality are illusions generated by this sick algorithmically optimized echo chamber generator that we call the modern internet. 4chan is not immune from this effect at all.

In real life, everyone is a little fucked in the head but not too much, and they all would generally prefer to get along with everyone around them even if they have some disagreements about whatever and ever. In real life, opinions and worldviews inherently modulate towards a a happy medium that works for everyone because if they didn't, everyone would tear each other to shreds. On the internet, the pattern is reversed, simply because the most extreme opinions and views gets the most retweets, the most likes, and the most ad dollars. This is the inevitable end-result of monetizing human communication.

>>16199722
Yes, there was a lot of good shit. But there was also a lot of bad. Remember the crime rate? Did anyone of you go outside after dark and could feel at ease?

>>16200999
>This "crypto revolution" is shit compared to dotcom though.
message boards stared in the 80's, Crypto is still too complicated for most. It's simple to give the funds to the bank. With crypto you have to take personal responsibility for your funds. Be your own bank. If bail-ins do happen, some of the people that want to protect their funds will figure out how to use it.

>>16200450
>millenials have already forked and the mainstream does not realize it
interested in your thoughts on that. it's clear the millenial generation has a different mindset, which is to be expected in a communications revolution. I'm hoping that the majority of them are going to realize the possibilities of crypto as the ultimate financial judo move.

>>16201082
>With crypto you have to take personal responsibility for your funds.
not necessarily. if crypto even approaches mainstream use, crypto custodians will explode. it would birth a new financial service industry.

The thing I miss most about the 90s is my going with my mom to the grocery store and grabbing a weeks worth of groceries for 5, for under a 100 bucks. Or filling up the car with 20 bucks. Inflation stole society’s generational wealth. We remember the value of the dollar. While others escape into their misery we look to the past to forge a new future. A lot of us may be newfags that missed the BTC and ETH train, but here we are under the collective finding the future. We are in this together frens.

Nope you're wrong. These things are really happening. The physical real world is changing. I personally now know two trannies, something I was shocked to find out even existed when I was younger. The demographics of the west are changing and there are concrete numbers for that. Nazis are real and you're only seeing the beginning of what will be exponential growth. Not edgy larping 90s Nazis but real ones born out of a reaction to modern day Weimar conditions.

You're trapped in your echo chamber. They're trapped in theirs. You're both too un-self-aware to appreciate how your (and theirs and everyone's) emotions are always being manipulated to serve financial interests. You can't not be so long as you live on the internet. You are the product.

You will just ignore me and head back to /pol/ and get some special big boy circlejerks in with the latest niggerfaggotjew world conspiracy general thread, and then (if you had felt uncomfortable at all) you'll feel OK and self-ressaured again because you're in a room with a bunch of other people all screeching the same thing that you are. That's the internet now. You're not a special missionary of truth, you're just another flavor of retard in the infinitely recursive, infinitely monetized scream chamber known as the internet.

That's one of the longer "not an argument" posts I've read in a while

>>16199722
Zoomers will be known for appreciating the sacrifices of our ancestors, we will appreciate the nature of capitalism and how it enabled us a comfortable life of excess. We will practice the arts and sports, become masters of matter, enjoy travel and relationships. We will adopt mindsets of self improvement and admire the physical form; having beautiful lean bodies and partaking in monogamous relationships with others of white or asian descent. Ensuring our offspring get raised in a country of nationalism where there is pride in what we believe in. Freedom. Freedom to exist unchained.

As for technological advancement we have superior minds on the task. Leaders like Elon who relate to the common man but is also autistic enough to usher in the coexistence of ai and man.

But also there's a decent chance we ruin this country by letting mutts in and allowing feministic principles to eliminate the patriarchy.

Disinfo is out there but the world is legitimately much smaller. Asia for example used to be a far off and mystical place, with whatever filtered here coming through in regularly comical engrish. Two decades later there are armies of translators and a whole generation regularly watches anime, with fansubs available within days (maybe it's down to hours now) as the world steadily marches on to becoming the same place. I can get on any board with flags here and call someone in any country I want an asshole and he'll see it immediately, and if he wants to fight me I can be at his door within 24-36 hours if I really wanted to pay for it. This is a radical shift just from WW2 when we were sending troops across the ocean in massive cargo ships, never mind what travel was like 50 years before that. The speed of communication and travel is unprecedented and inevitably has to erode much of what we've known about the world as we know it. If you got in a time machine and went back to Caesar's day and gave everyone a cell phone, even if it could only make calls it would have fundamentally changed how everything worked and history would become almost unrecognizable to us. People were still writing letters to each other in meaningful numbers until the late 90's, which seems to be a pretty solid indication of our separation from the old world given how long the practice goes back. As far as I can tell our purpose here now is to figure out how to coexist with this technology without destroying ourselves, literally so in many cases when I see the suicidal looks around me.

>>16202095

I don't think that's the case, things being a world away has a far different meaning now, and even then the world does not lack for apathy.

This. Pretty much everything felt more balanced and healthier. I had many friends and we had a real connection. Tech, medicine and basically everything else progressed so fast. Entertainment was fucking great, playing all those console games was like taking heroin. Politics wasn't filled with Trump like retards and it really looked like civilization made some progress. 90's spoiled me a little bit, I thought if everything progressed so fast during 90's, in 2020 we'll be like in heaven. How fucking wrong I was.

90's were ok. Optimism. 80's started to feel dystopian towards the end, cold war, nuclear armageddon, unemployment due to rapidly changing industries etc. A lot of cultural influencers were being displaced and the last vestiges of weird culture and ideas from people raised in the 50's to the 70's were giving way to people who had just accepted that is the way we were going now, society had fixed a direction. Not everything was going to be socialist concrete, flat metal panels with big red buttons, men and women with shaved heads in green boiler suits in service to some weird entity known only as 'the cause'. Not to say I liked baggy everything, pastel colours, stonewashed denim, bigger cars, rapid anti-environmentalism, neon piping on everything, big cream woolly jumpers, cream zip up jackets, the housing market.

I remember every other advert was for refinancing and personal loans. The housing market was huge because that is where the inflationary debt money was being stashed. I remember most of our public services being sold off. Adverts were basically "you can't take your family on holiday? You can't afford your bills? You can't buy your child a new car? Borrow borrow borrow" then "debt payments mounting up? Can't sleep at night? Refinance with enough left over for a holiday!" it was like you could see the ever worsening quality of those debts for investors.

I did like MDMA. I did like jungle and drum and bass. I did eventually learn to like techno. Memories of staying up all night on ICQ and mIRC, phone sex with people from around the world, lan parties with friends, pinging people to death, trying l33t exploits, telnet prompts and mainly sending people nudes.jpg.exe to install back doors.

I do still enjoy mdma about once a year, but usually at house parties rather than *gasp* going out. I went through a period of psychedelics a few years back and listened to a fair bit of psytrance though mainly goa. I still generally preferred my icy techno alongside shit like coil, tangerine dream, neu! etc. Honestly though at the moment I tend to party sober. Like the most hardcore thing I can imagine is doing things authentically because I enjoy them. I kind of have to be sober to accurately assess my enjoyment. Maybe later I'll add drugs back in.

>>16201346
the 2000s were digital. normies who spent most of their time in RL with occasional forays into the mainstream stuff like SA, newsground, runescape and WoW missed out. 4chan will reee at this but even 4chan was the mainstream counterpart of tiny fragmented communities around individual hobbies
there was a particular dynamic that only existed during that tiny window of time. in the 90s there were too few people online and everyone was too new to form meaningful ecosystems. after 2007-2008, the iphone and web 2.0 soon brought homogenisation of web traffic towards social media, rather than the search -> end up in dedicated community flow of years before. the 2000s had that right balance of volume and personal investment to make for great experiences

>>16201459
This. We're in the best time to be alive in (if you're not in a country being raided by the US's shenanigans, altho Afghanistan was this in the 90s too) and the overabundance of information is causing people to concentrate in echo chambers that validate their worldviews.

The best approach to however you see the world going (fucked by capitalism? mired with trannies? owned by fascism?) is just to make as much money as possible and go cultivate your path out there. The fact that everyone in this thread is crying with rose-tinted glasses that the world has changed and feels smaller is just a symptom of chatting on anon message boards all day.

I was an early teenager during the 90s. It was crap. It only became cool with the first online games and MMORPG in the end of the 90s. Before it was a boring decade. MTV stupid clips, shit movies and TV shows. No online shopping. You had to go to IRL store which were time consuming, expensive, and most of the time didn't have what you want. Comics were okay but also boring after a while. Reading Stephen King and playing soccer which i didn't like to kill time (no internet remember?) Only thing that was really cool in my memories was Magic the Gathering. That was... kind of Magic.
You 90s nostalgics sound like the pulp fiction movie scene in the jack rabbit slim restaurant, except if was about the 60s.
In my opinion, we are living a fucking exciting time currently. Because we have really amazing technology. The beginning at least. World wide web. This is some real shit. Totally different than previous vertical medias like TV or radio or newspapers.

I'll be old, but I will never be a boomer though
The entire ethos of the boomer generation that permeates it's way into every facet of our culture now is that of "rebellion" as the boomers themselves styled it
We are merely reaping for them the seed they sowed
No one hated the silent generation, certainly no one hated the greatest generation, no one hates gen x, and boomers hate millennials, as millennials will be hated in turn when they continue the same boomer memes in different avenues
Gen Z however might save us

this is absolute horseshit anon, Im a yurofag and live in a small village in the middle of nowhere. in the last 10 years suddenly we have niggers and muslims in full garb walking around here this was completely unthinkable 10+ years ago. a daughter of one of my neighbours done the street recently "transitioned" to becoming a male and her mother told me how great it was and how great it is that we now have the medicine for this (while looking like she was literally dead inside). I cant pinpoint the exact timeframe but sometime over the last 10years we started slipping into a complete dystopian hellscape and Im terrified just thinking about how much worse things will get.

>>16203333
checked
also, yurofag is too general. if you have muslims and niggers in some village in germany or france or uk, well it's really okay.
now if you have muslims and niggers in romanian or polish villages, now that is a problem (for the minorities btw, the locals will fuck them)

>>16199722

>>16203351
>well it's really okay.
krautland more specifically and no its really not okay. we always had lots of italians and turks but never any blacks and full garbed mudshits in small villages. they just started flooding them in in 2015 and started putting them in every small remote village. I was actually living abroad from 2014-17 and remember I was shocked when I came back home and saw literal bulb head niggers from somalia milling around in my small town. before that the only blacks you would see were african american soldiers in the next big city. this has all rapidly happened over the last couple of years and its shocking to see how fast its happening and how normies will just blank out and pretend its completely normal. there is kids growing up right now who cant even remember a reality where they didnt have black children as classmates or weekly terror attacks and rapes all over europe. even ten years ago it was like living on a completely different planet and all this stuff is being normalized now it is absolutely terrifying.

>>16203273
We don't live in an exciting time. We live in a time where the west is becoming objectively shittier. The instant gratification provided by high speed internet has taken a lot of the magic and mystery out of the world, not to mention the smartphone has given retards a platform to spew opinions that get taken seriously by other retards.

>>16203389
sorry to hear that kraut, im from eastern europe (lithuania) and we too have a higher influx, but mostly in the capital only. Even in the capital though, which is probably the most liberal city in north-eastern europe, refugos and the likes still get a lot of shit from locals

>>16203421
the bigger cities are already minority german and the newspapers here are celebrating it. there was a frontpage news article last year or so when germans became less than 50% in the next big city and they were talking about it like its the best thing on earth. it is absolutely demoralizing to see your home country being terraformed into a dystopian hellscape in real time I hope you never have to experience it.

Yes but you can take the advantages of the internet without the disadvantages. I only use my smartphone for text messages and calls. Never for social media. And there is still a lot of mystery in the world, and the internet is a great tool to discover them. Before it was the jew TV and radio and newspapers. Every information seemed totally under (((control))). It was way worse. Internet is spyed and partially under control, but information often get out anyway, and glowniggers propaganda is pretty easy to spot.

>>16199722
I mostly blame the internet, mankind's best and worse invention.

>>16200273
It's not just capitalism, it was also social and culture as well, at that point jet travel was only starting to get cheap, the internet was only starting to grow. So all regions of the world still pretty much had their own strong culture and people that was only minimally influenced by global corporations and social trends. It was nothing like the multi-cultural bullshit we have today where everything is the same depressing brown mix of nothing.

>>16203351
>well it's really okay.
It's really not, that's the point. There didn't used to be so many immigrants just 20/30 years ago, most towns and villages were almost entirely native. It's sad that each new generation is going to say "that's okay" to some bullshit they are already used to as they don't know just how much better it used to be.

90's suck, 80's were epic. Fuck rap music and grunge and 90's "culture".

>>16203636
>It was nothing like the multi-cultural bullshit
It already existed. At least in France. have you heard about SOS racism and Touche pas à mon pote in France?
It was literally anti-racist propaganda on a global scale. And you couldn't escape it like today you can on the internet, saying it's shit. You were obliged to participate, and if you didn't, you were treated like a nazi and socially ostracized. No more friends. People treated you worse than if you were a convicted pedophile. You lost your job. This was reality. And many zoomers have no idea what it really was.

>>16203165
Most people are basically... fine. Yeah not every Muhammad is going to shank you every time he sees you. You could even be decent bros with quite a few of them but that doesn't mean that it isn't worse than what you had before. On average these migrants have lower intelligence, lower impulse control, higher corruption, etc. It's just a retarded kind of brag when people say "I'm tough enough I can tolerate all this shit, what are you a pussy? Everything getting worse? Just be better like I am and it won't even phase you bro!"

Honestly it was worse before, because you didn't even have internet as outlet. You didn't have any choice but to cope with this gigantic anti-racist propaganda. Only tiny minority of people were woke. Today, you know you are not alone, even if it's with people far away physically, at least you know there are a substantial amount of people thinking like you, which constitute a psychological force. Even if it didn't materialize IRL. It's still ideas which circulate and can change the way the world if viewed. Today we fuck SJW on a regular basis. Our attacks weaken them little by little. On the 90s, they were all powerful.

Country wasn’t in the red in the 90’s either. Middle class was... booming

>>16200694
I just went to West Virginia for business, apparently they just got uber where I was at. There’s pockets of small towns out there, but they’re dying off. Everyone I spoke to there was complaining how slow it is, not much to do, most friends have left and some just feel stuck since they don’t know anyone elsewhere. There was a noticeable dearth of young professionals, we only saw older couples and elderly people

>>16199722
Things I loved about the 90s

Women were thin and pretty
There were only two genders
Foreigners were people who lived in other countries and it was ok to not agree with their beliefs and practices
It was ok to be white
You could smoke in bars, because it was a place for adults and everyone knew the score
Early, truly anonymous internet
Communications technology was at that stage where you could call someone on the other side of the planet if you so wished, but nobody expected you to be contactable 24/7
Videogames were fun as fuck with no DLC, compulsory internet connection, spyware or subscription
Saturday morning cartoons were fun as fuck and featured actually cool characters you could look up to, without every other character being black, gay or in a wheelchair for the sake of diversity
You could afford to mortgage a family home on a single blue collar salary

But gee, I sure am glad we have all this progressive social media, trannies, and terrorism now.

>>16204590
alright, point taken. I've personally never experienced the SJW burden before 2015. During 2016 it went full turbo mode. Before that, it was there but it wasn't as poisonous or permeating social narrative as today. Maybe it was different over there.

>>16199722
We will be known for record high suicide rates

You are absolutely deluded. The 90’s created the greatest divide between the middle and upper class.

>>16204535
we are absolutely on a trajectory to a full blown cyberpunk hellscape. three corporations (google, fb, amazon) control the majority of the internet traffic already and they are hoarding massive amounts of user data. I was listening to a tech podcast the other day that talked about AI and how companies with the biggest datasets will absolutely control the economy over the coming years and decades. facebook is literally trying to launch their own currency right now which will take even mroe power away from the states. how is this not leading into a scenario where a handful of megacorps control everything, have extraterritorial status for their enclaves, their own armed forces and currencies? except instead of the cool cyberpunk shit we will get trannyism, forced multi culti and state enforced homosexuality.

>>16201363
I don't think the psychological phenomenon of projection is quite so blatant.

>>16199722
from a culture point of view
today has the potential to be better, or equal to the sum of the best of the past, it all depends on you, you can live like in the 90s, there's more stuff to discover than you can ever discover

from a technology/politics point of view
we now have crypto, imagine waiting 20 years in the 90s for this and having shit tech, cool OS icons and sounds certainly won't make it worth it, especially since you can have those cool OS now with full power

the world was as fucked up as now by the way, it was just less visible

>>16204881
Sauce for podcast ?

>>16199722
It was the perfect equilibrium between tech, nature, individualism and society.
The world still had a mystery feel. Unknown topics which only a few people knew about and in which you could dive into. The world was big, so many things too see, so many things to learn, so many different point of views but yet it all was still loosely tied togther by society. You had some kind of home but were free to go wherever you wanted and could try to explore the mysteries of the unknown at it's own comfy pace. You could really appreciate all the info. All that but technology was still far enough developed to make life easier and comfier.
Now everything is simply about devouring information without second thoughts. Everything is easily accessible and is already talked dead. No mysteries no nothing. Most things have been overtaken by giant corporations and every variety is nothing but a label, produced in the same factory, sold by the same company but under a different name to imply choice. Things have become so uniform, from products to opinions to people. It's not always because there's absolutely no variety anymore but because it's not possible to appreciate it anymore because you get stuffed with this shit from every singe direction. Nothing feels earned. It's all just a grande bouffe. When you live together with a few people in the same house for 25 years at some point you have enough of them. You just want to kick them out. I think we're in this stage now. Everything's tied too much together under the same companies, the same culture, same government. Globohomo. People desperately try to be special by defining themseves through outside things. They're all out of the same factory but put logos and labels onto them to signal that they're not like the rest, that they're special.

It was literally social terror. I've been ostracized from at least 3 different group of friends IRL in a few years because i slightly talked about right wing ideas. If you read Louis Ferdinand Celine for example, or say that there is a little too much immigration, you were immediately considered as a fascist, and thus ostracized. Today you still don't talk about the scam of mass immigration or feminism at a normies party, but you know that there are a lot of people like you out there. It's really comforting to not feel alone, isolated.

It was worse in the 90s, early 2000s. People literally thought they were cool, that the had more social value than you, because they listened to supposedly cool music, like some particular hip hop group or rock music.
People were so retarded that they bought quicksilver brand clothes, and thought they were cool because they had surfers culture, even if they lived 1000 kilometers from the ocean. They shunned you because you wore classic trousers, when they were wearing baggys from the brand quicksliver or Rip Curl. It was really like this. They were just marketing target, yet they really thought they were cool guys. Unironically. Zoomers shouldn't idealize the 90s. It was objectively worse for the average nolife.

>>16205373
(...) Forgot to say that if you were in computers, Magic the gathering cards or videogames as a hobby, you were a looser. No girls would date a guy who had videogames as a hobby in the 90s, early 2000s. Except perhaps the ugly ones. Female geeks were unicorns, and unironically extremely rare.

>>16200308
Don’t forget social media, which is 90% controlled by liberals. And during the Obama administration the liberals ramped up their propaganda forcing cultural Marxism through all their channels, Facebook, Twitter, etc...

>>16205373
It has always been like that. If it was "worse" in the 90s, you clearly have no fucking clue what the 60s were like. The difference before the 2000s is that people were actually going outside and meeting in-person to circlejerk and make friends/connections.

>Morrison’s commentary was not made for a newsreel, and theater audiences in 1937 never experienced his words and the film together; Morrison was a radio reporter and his words were not paired with the film footage until decades later.

>No radio listener heard Morrison describe the crash as it happened, as some people claim to remember; his report was not broadcast live.

>People think Morrison had a high-pitched, squeaky voice; he had the rich mellow tones of a radio announcer.

>Posterity remembers Morrison for a few seconds of panic and crying; in fact, he regained his calm within moments and recorded almost 37 minutes of information about the crash with professionalism and accuracy.

>>16208044
I get the sense that you want to blame the boomers. People can become autonomous after childhood you know. No doubt I was exposed to a lot of pozzed shit as a kid and I unironically hate my parents and we never see each other but I still can't 100% blame them for all of my problems.

9/11 really was the turning point wasn't it

I. was born in 86 and I can tell you early 90s was pretty good because it was imo still apart of the 80s tail end of it. as soon as cultural 90s took hold it was over.
90s was shit and so were the 00s till now. I do think know why there are so many fucking faggots acing like the 90s and 00s are something eat because they were fucking trash still.

>>16208874
no I said it was shit. re read what I fucking said early 86 to say 95 was a good years because 80s was actually the last time anything was decent. after the 80s went its over. I was born in 86 you fag so I really didn't get to experience the 80s. I did experience how shit the 90s and 00s were. the only good shit that was going on was tech/video games and cartoons but cartoons are pretty subjective.

let me reiterate the 90s and 00s were fucking shit. I grew up in those times I should know fuckhead

Things have changed. A lot of you seem to think the 90s were the best ever but you're wrong. It was different though. I think the thing most of you from the 90s miss is the true meatspace but the fact of it is that less and less people spend less and less time on the streets as time goes on. You witnessed a great shift with the internet. Nobody leaves their house to watch movies or buy nick knacks. However think about what it must have been like with the invention of the automobile. Think about how much human street traffic was eliminated. The 90s streets were dead compared to the streets filled with people and merchants.

Its certainly a time of change. With it will come the good like the fun times you have on the internet and the bad like the lack of fun times in the meat space. I wish i were alive to see such active bustling streets. On the other hand 4chan is the most active city the world has ever know with at least 30 unique districts.

Things will never be the same again but i wouldn't have it any other way.

Fuck gen X, boomers made the 90's what it was and gen X ushered in the 2010's tech/social media dystopia. But lets be honest here, every generation born after the 1920's should be killed

>>16208961
Based. Something i forgot to mention that nobody seems to be talking about here is birth rates.

Even if everybody decided to dump their computers and live in reality it wouldn't be like it was. The aging population far exceeds the young. Imagine how amazing it would have been to be a young 20 year old living in a city where most other people were young 20 year olds. Every waitress, every bar tender, every store clerk, all of them around the same age as you. A country full of healthy young people where old people waddling around weren't the norm. Just imagine what that must have been like. It makes me depressed just thinking about it.

>>16208961

IMO, kikes got less control since the 2010s, since the internet developed so much, including this place and the darknet. Even some youtube comment section is pretty red pilled.

>90s was shit and so were the 00s till now. I do think know why there are so many fucking faggots acing like the 90s and 00s are something eat because they were fucking trash still.
Probably because they didn't live in the 90s because they were too young, or they lived in the 90s and had a cool childhood or teenaghood. My teenagehood during the 90s/ early 2000s was shit. Only good moment i had was the first MMORPG. 90s generation were worse than zoomer generation IMO. Always thinking they were the coolest people after seeing the latest MTV clips and singing it, imitating the band.
>>16208906
This. They idealize it, mostly because they didn't live it, or live it and had a good time because they were not one of the geek/nolife guys.
>>16208938
>Nobody leaves their house to watch movies or buy nick knacks.
This i noticed too. Too bad it happens just when i learned some social skills to game women in my 30s. There are still people outside still, but less than in the 90s. I remember in the 90s, there were groups of young people sitting on public benches during their free time. No trash people, but teenage Boy and girls, chatting, boys trying to impress the girls. The last summer, i noticed that this phenomenom almost completely disappeared. The last that do this are immigrants and scums, or older trash people. It's so strange, because in my teenage years, i hated these people, and wished they would disappear, because i was a nolife. Today, i would like for some of them (not the most annoying thought), to still exist, in order to chat the girls and pick them up.

You're cool fren, you think approximately like me. However, you must know that you can still meet young women during daytime. Just wander around highschools or training centers/universities. It takes some balls, but when you are in or around it, nobody gives a shit about you. City centers near highschool/ universities, at the end of classes hours.
I believe that in about 20-30 years from now, there won't be people in the streets at all anymore. Even supermarkets will be closed ( cause online markets).
I thought about were i would be able to meet women. The gym is an average solution, since it's bad for seduction. Other sports activities are a little better, but many don't have a lot of women. However, i think i found the solution: dance classes, like Salsa. Even if i fucking hate to dance and am awful at it, it seems to be one of the only valid option to meet new girls in the meatspace in the future, 20, 30 years from now. Most of the meatspace will be a fucking desert. Birth rates other than immigrants will be abysmal.

>>16209624
It's not just about meeting girls but the general atmosphere.

Btw salsa classes are filled with older women. My mother aunt are both into salsa. Trust me on this one, dance classes are for old people now.

>>16209654
So how do i meet girl in the meatspace 20 years from now? Nigger dances? (unironically)

>>16209682
Online probably

>>16209704
That's the point, i'm a children of the internet, but i absolutely don't want to use soulless online dating.

Social media is unironically anti-social and is the worst thing to come out of tech boom. So much depression, narcissism, vanity, anxiety and misinformation has been spread than that from modern social media like facebook and twitter.

>>16207563

The sky's the limit, but we no longer look towards the sky, but at computer screens and phones.

>>16208744
As individuals, sure, you're absolutely right. As a group though, boomers created a monster with how they raised millenials. Individuals have free will and agency, but large groups of people will develop according to how their environment and incentives shape them, and can't be thought of as really having autonomy.

They probably are in comparison to previous generations but the job and housing markets have fallen off a cliff in the past 20 years. yada yada we're all experiencing it.

The Cartesian self-centered rationalism leads to schools of thought that do not cognize outside of their own constructed worlds, ignoring actual every-day life experience. It applies criticism to its own artificial world until it exhausts itself in meaninglessness. In reaction to the educated elites, the masses give rise to the Second Religiousness, which manifests as deeply suspicious of academia and science.
The Second Religiousness appears as a harbinger of the decline of mature Civilization into an ahistorical state. The Second Religiousness occurs concurrently with Caesarism, the final political constitution of Late Civilization. Both the Second Religiousness and Caesarism demonstrate the lack of youthful strength or creativity that the Early Culture once possessed. The Second Religiousness is simply a rehashing of the original religious trend of the Culture.

Does anyone know the origin or source of that picture?

>>16211315
Our Western world, America and Europe, is threatened with Caesarism on a scale unknown since the dawn of the Roman Empire. In order to see this threat in its proper perspective, we have to assess the relationship between America and Europe, and define their historical destinies. It is the contention of this book that expanding democracy leads unintentionally to imperialism and that imperialism inevitably ends in destroying the republican institutions of earlier days; further, that the greater the social equality, the dimmer the prospects of liberty, and that as society becomes more equalitarian, it tends increasingly to concentrate absolute power in the hands of one single man. Caesarism is not dictatorship, not the result of one man's overriding ambition, not a brutal seizure of power through revolution. It is not based on a specific doctrine or philosophy. It is essentially pragmatic and untheoretical. It is a slow, often century-old, unconscious development that ends in a voluntary surrender of a free people escaping from freedom to one autocratic master. New concentrations of power during the past fifty years of world wars, revolutions, and crises, have made this threat of Caesarism increasingly evident. Political power in the Western world has become increasingly concentrated in the United States of America, and in the office of the President within America. The power and prestige of the President have grown with the growth of America and of democracy within America, with the multiplication of economic, political,and military emergencies, with the necessity of ruling what is virtually becoming an American empire, the universal state of a Western civilization at bay.

>>16211610

Fucking pseudo-intellectual wordsoup.
Fucking hate retards that think they’re smart, if you can’t condense ANY idea into a four sentence paragraph you’re a fucking brainless ape.

Democracy doesn’t lead to imperialism fuckhead, democracy at the helm of power it can’t possibly control does however. Not to mention a little communist corrosion at the supports and cowardice and decadence of declining generations.

See, it wasn’t so hard.

>>16211315

We're fucked. The leftists/establishment has already won. Hundreds of years of oppression under a dominating nanny state await us, until the system collapses under the weight of its own internal contractions and a new civilization is birthed out of the ashes. Read Spengler.

>>16211642
Caesarism is the logical outcome of a double current very much in evidence today: the growth of a world empire that cannot be ruled by republican institutions, and the gradual extension of mass democracy, which ends in the destruction of freedom and in the concentration of supreme power in the hands of one man. This is the ominous prospect facing the Western world in the second half of the twentieth century (and 21st). But just as Caesarism could arise only in Classical Rome and not in Greece, it will, if left free to develop unchecked, arise in modern America and not in Europe. It is in Washington and not in London, Paris, or Berlin that the Caesars of the future will arise. It will not be the result of conspiracy, revolution, or personal ambition. It will be the end result of an instinctive evolution in which we are all taking part like somnambulists (sleep walkers). The evidence is all around us today, but to see it in its full magnitude we must step back into history and look at the present from a distance. We shall then have a clear perspective of the road on which we have been traveling for centuries, and a glimpse of the road that lies ahead. We shall then notice that, instead of forever inclining toward the republican left, we are in fact swinging toward the autocratic right and that it is our leftist leaders who, whenever they are in power, are unwittingly taking us in this direction. In fact, they have quite unconsciously been driving us around in a century wide circle, back to the point from which our ancestors started when they revolted in the name of liberty against the tyranny of absolute monarchs.

Everything in the 90s just MADE SENSE. It's difficult to describe if you didn't live through it.

Racism was simply "ignored" and it worked flawlessly. It wasn't dissected at every turn like today. Nothing was seen as PC or woke. Boys were boys and girls were girls. People also seemed to be more optimistic and all around nicer and in better moods. Again, people 35 and older know exactly what I'm talking about.

The lie of life. There is something of this lie in the entire intellect of the Western Civilization, so far as this applies itself to the future of religion, of art or of philosophy, to a social-ethical aim, a Third Kingdom. For deep down beneath it all is the gloomy feeling, not to be repressed, that all this hectic zeal is the effort of a soul that may not and cannot rest to deceive itself. This is the tragic situation -the inversion of the Hamlet motive, that produced Nietzsche's strained conception of a "return," which nobody really believed but he himself clutched fast lest the feeling of a mission should slip out of him. This Life's lie is the foundation of Bayreuth, which would be something whereas Pergamum was something- and a thread of it runs through the entire fabric of Socialism, political, economic and ethical, which forces itself to ignore the annihilating seriousness of its own final implications, so as to keep alive the illusion of the historical necessity of its own existence.

Glorifying the 90s is peak gen-X mindset and a form of stockholm's syndrome. You are worshipping an era moulded by the very same historical forces that created the things you hate now (trannies, forever wars, leftist zealots, unthinking consumerist behavior and self-indulgence, etc.) on the eve of the fall, just before it actually brought those things into existence.

Zoomers radicalizing themselves online and interconnecting via the internet to share ideas and creatively subvert the norms of this status quo is based as fuck and if you're fearful of whatever political forms they might will into existence if given the opportunity you are cringe fucking boomer beholden to the same system you purport to abhor.

>>16212192
This poster is probably a standard deviation higher IQ than the crypto-redditors here crying out for how good things were in the 90s.

Things were perhaps slightly better than they are now terms of mass culture, but infinitely worse in terms of opportunities for individuals to escape the prescribed social and intellectual script and think for themselves and develop free thought that goes against the system of thinking locking everybody else into the slave morality of normative behaviors.

Last thing I wanted to say: If you wouldn't rather be alive now than at any other time in history, you don't get it. Hold on tight to your fuzzy 90s nostalgia because that's as good as it's going to get for you pussies who can't face reality.
