Idgaf at this point, I always liked reading about the fall of civilizations and wished I was able to see the bronze age collapse which was 10 times worse than the fall of rome
Guess I get to see the steel age collapse instead
That year is 2007:
-Tumblr and Twitter are both founded
-Facebook allows non-.edu emails to register with the site
-Apple releases the first iPhone that July.
The Endless July swamped web 2.0 culture to the point of near-extinction the same way the Eternal September did with Usenet culture.
The real change was AJAX, it created an entire new generation of websites that ran like programs and made it easier for normalfags to go online since now they didnt have to install outlook and configure POP3 to get their email or deal with the shit that was hotmail, just get a gmail account and its done, better than outlook even
Then came youtube, zoomers here were probably not even alive then but there was a massive wave of normalfags pouring in when that shit launched, and the countless imitators only added to the fire
The iphone and facebook were the aftershock, the former wasnt that popular until like 2009, and myspace was still the leading social network around then, twitter barely even worked most of the time
But the point is that the cancer had already metastasized, and for example steam brought a ton of faggotry to gaming because suddenly all the retarded console niggers who couldnt figure an install wizard were buying prebuilts and letting steam spoonfeed them
People need to keep it in mind that the internet is not the real world. If you walked up to someone outside asked if they used Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, 4chan or anything like they would say no. I don't know what goes on with the lefties online. But I do know wignats have this thing where they were grooming mass shooters on 8chan.
I don't think it's a good idea for people to sit around and stare into the abyss that is the internet all day. Also, the media plays a role in this as well. They have a habit of taking a small issue and making it seem worse than it actually is. You can see this happening with both right leaning and left leaning media. The same way that the leftist media convinced a small minority of crazies that Trump was orange Hitler you have the right leaning media convincing people that the sky is constantly falling. The economy is always about to collapse there is huge of mob of trannies out there running around doing shit to people. You listen to some people on the far right and we are just one second away from going full blown Weimar. On the left it's that America is literally racist (though we had a nigger president) POC are being rounded up and exterminated especially by the police and the country is overrun with Nazis and KKK. Just look at what they are doing with the whole guns and mass shootings thing now. Making it seem like there is a mass shooting in the US everyday. That's not the case at all.
It comes down to the fact that people need to step away from the internet. Before tablets and smartphones, you had to be near a PC to use the internet. If you didn't have a job that allowed you access to a computer and you had to leave your house to do something that means you got away from your computer and the internet at least for a while. These days everyone can stay steeped in the internet nonsense with tablets and smartphones. Even easier than a laptop. They could go to the park and sit on the bench and read and hear all the fear porn they want from their favored political camp. Also you have the fact that we live in modern times now and information travels faster and we get more of it than we used to thanks to technology. It's even faster now than it was in the mid 2000's and people back then thought it was fast.
Another issue is that the left is pushing politics into everything now. They say everything is political. They want to keep everyone agitated and that's why they call it agitprop.
People just need to go outside get some fresh air and touch some grass.
I used to think like that until I saw the most retarded tumblrism being talked IRL as if it was serious business, insane fat cunts with blue hair being invited to give talks instead of being told to either swallow that load or get bitchslapped which is how things used to go for those creatures
Shit stopped being "touch grass" when fucking laws were passed in many countries based on the retarded shit being discussed by troons and other faggots online mere years before. Now every insane bullshit that starts online its only months away from making it into the mainstream
Ironically this is also related to normalfags figuring out how to go online, namely fat cunts that learned from the faggot goons from somethingawful how to take over discussions and basically troll not for the lulz but to get what they wanted: make fun illegal
A blog I used to follow back in 2010 identified a problem underpinning all of this early on. He figured it was due to pop in 2020. Here we are in 2022 and it hasn't resolved yet.

There's a current shift going on from the left-progressive mindset to the centre-libertarian mindset. Things will get better, but the issue with Libertarians is that they're pozzed to hell with Keynesian economics.
Nigger the libertarians hate keynes
