Are there books or philosophers who discuss the idea of stagnation ?

I caught my self thinking about how the world we live in is essentially just a post-ww2 world; we still reference and discuss ideas and philosophies that happened 80+ years ago as if they are constructive in society going forward, how the world seems to look back endlessly on the past and claiming that knowing history is a way of learning from it - but we never do, we never move past certain events and instead get lost in history.

except we do. interpret it as a markov chain you faggot. 0.8 will always feed into itself and forever will. you will never see the 'monumental change in society' in your lifetime. accept yourself and accept others.

Why are incels like this? Blame all their problems on the lack of a world war?

all progress in art, industry, technology and emotional introspection occur during war. Just a facet of reality. Something about thrusting young men in their most transformative stages into the worst staple life the world has to offer just breeds that.
Revolutionary sciences like Mendel and Darwin are a different deal.

What is this tranny meme that if you think society isn’t great it’s because you’re a virgin. 42% of your people attempt suicide, you think society is bad too

The U.S. has been fighting wars for 20 years. But it hasn't been enough! Now they need a bigger one to give them some purpose! It's an addiction. And some of them will even look back on the 90s as a golden age when conservatives at the time were frustrated at the lack of an enemy to give them a purpose after the Cold War. Well, I suppose there's China now.

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
