Go fuck yourself you pretentious asshole.

well it's always everyone else, isn't it.

>once-great nation
Sorry bro, that's just your nostalgia talking. We haven't gone downhill because we can't sink any further; everything has always been shit.

What I find more depressing still, not being OP, is the US, with its non-cities, its plain rectangular inner city houses and suburban wooden hovels, its complete physical lack of anything beautiful, and the horrifying fact that it is like this even in Europe, with the post-WWII buildings not being able to compose a city, satisfied instead with the endless crowding of suburbs where demeaningly dressed people forward their greed and violence without restraint or council.

>implying OP is American
Pretty good description of the UK if you ask me.

>>2246227
They have walmarts outside of the US?

>>2246225
you're showing your lack of knowledge of world and US history..while saying the country was once great is a subjective opinion, I'm sure most current historians/analysts/whatever would agree that the state we're in is due to the US seeking global hegemony post-WWII and countless other factors have contributed to the US's downfall

>>2246221
you were probably one of the people in Walmart last night browsing the mass-market Koontz novels

if you smoke cigarettes you are a weak faggot

>>2246235
pic isn't me but funny if you inferred that I do smoke

>>2246233
Just because you have a loose grasp on high-school level existentialism, does not make you better, or even smarter then those people.

>>2246227
Exactly my thoughts. The depressing thing is that OP's story fits any 'civilized' country (but especially the US, >>2246232 and not just because of the Walmarts).

>>2246244
not existentialism, just not happy with the current state of our society. I'm guessing you never question/criticize things you are presented with that are societal norms? Because for some reason you are getting pretty judgmental over my hungover societal rants and are attacking me instead of attacking my points, insulting me and calling me a high-school existentialist.

Do you joke with your buddies about how Occupy Wall Street is "a bunch of smelly, lazy hippies"?

I bet all the other people at walmart were saying the same thing about you OP.

>>2246252
>He actually thinks the occupy movement will help anything

>>2246252
I've learned to accept what society considers acceptable. I'm okay with people not walking around with things like fine art or the state of the ecosystem on their minds. Grow up, it doesn't affect you.

>>2246255
This.

>>2246263
There's a word for this, it's called 'maturity'.

>>2246263
>state of the ecosystem
>not affecting me

do you also think human-caused climate damage is a myth? if the climate drastically changes, we are all fucked, and it would be nice if we prevented that.

but whatever. go make another Game of Thrones thread

>>2246271
No, someone else constantly thinking of if will not affect you. Go be "blown away" by The Shining and Donnie Darko.

>green text
the finest form of literature

>>2246275
haha funny, now trying to insult my literary tastes.
You seem to be very avoidant of the fact that rampant and mindless consumerism, the thing which troubles me, is in fact a real problem

>>2246281
>go make another Game of Thrones thread
And the point I am trying to point out is that what you call "rampant" actually doesn't affect you in any way, that is other then helping your local economy by providing an impossible number of jobs to your senior citizens/disabled/general unemployed.

>>2246232
Yeah, I think so.
