Are we ever going to find genuine sanity in society again? - Did 2014 really break us?

I kinda hope we will when the next generation will just stop being impressed by left craziness.

I think we already seeing a slight push back to normal (e g Netflix).
The old, screeching crazy lefties will keep their insanity but the next gen, younger consumers will find it uncool.
The same way hippies, punks, metals, emo, goths went. If being nb "special snowflakes" demisexual boygirl become norms, the new edgy will be to reject this and do opposite because this will make you a cool, special outsider.

At least i hope this will happen. If young people change the definition of coolness and start seeing old men in makeups as a laughing stock and the pinnacle of uncoolness and cringe, corporations will pander to this.

Because after all it is about the money.


At least i hope. We might be in such deep subversion that the next stage is just apathy.
 
It could have been the turning point for the US as a great power. I'm sure there was a similar turning point for ancient Greece, ancient Rome, the French Napoleonic empire, the British Empire, etc... all great power's eventually reach that point. I was just hoping to be dead by the time it happened to the US. Oh well, at least the downslide won't be at the bottom, nor at full speed by the time I will likely drop dead. Good enough.

For that exact monetary reason, I doubt that clown world's wild ride will ever end.
As long as gigantic organizations like Blackrock can continue offering these corporations enough money to offset the losses that embracing woke culture causes, they'll never have an incentive to stop. And that won't be for quite some time, since Blackrock and it's ilk have more than enough money to keep that gravy train rolling for a long, long time.
 
Nope, and it's going to cause something terrible.

Mass delusions, mass hysteria, moral panic and conspiracy thinking has gone mainstream. It happens on both sides of the political divide, and even happens about how one side views the other side.

Unless people start admitting things are going insane, it'll just get worse and worse.

Ghostbuster's predicted it all the way back in the 1980's


Mass Hysteria!
 
Society went insane because the internet suddenly raised some very politically incorrect questions about things society had bet the farm on, namely the absolute equality between the races and sexes.

Suddenly information about these subjects that would have been a lot harder if not close to impossible to find for the average person was now at everyone's fingertips, this led to a massive state of panic and it's plain as day obvious why we saw that shift on the left, they had no actual answers for people's questions, they refused to accept the possibility of the truth not being what they wanted it to be, so they shifted to bullying, intimidation, violence, emotional blackmail and threats of losing your job to keep people in control.

Other things have rode this wave like troonism thanks to the climate now being the truth is whatever we want it to be rather than what it objectively is.

What is the truth of things like race and sex? I don't know, but what I DO know is we either accept the concept that the truth of it is what it is regardless of whether it's what we would like it to be or what's politically correct or not, we either swallow that hard pill and take a look at things truthfully, if we instead take the stance that the truth doesn't matter, only our opinion does, we're doomed, our days are numbered.

Facing the truth is the only way sanity can return, it's ironic because the internet could have been as much a force for good for the world as it's turned out to be something destructive, but it only turned out to be something destructive because various gravy trains would have been stopped had truth been allowed to spread instead of lies and those that didn't want it to happen used their resources to use the internet to spread falsehoods and lies.

The internet is just a tool, it all depends on how we use it.
 
Once the mindless worship of communism and its major divisive tendrils, SJWism, Feminism and Critical Race theory lies dead and buried.

Thankfully, many are waking up to this. But will it be enough to drive it out of our institutions? Yuri said it would take 15-20 years as the demoralized are a wreck.

At the very least though, this period of history will be seen by future generations like we do during the turbo-christian fundamentalist times of America with its rampant censorship and the use of grievance politics just to hide mediocrity.
 
Yes, I think at some point all this nonsense will burn itself out. I could see it going in one of the following ways from an American standpoint anyhow.

1. The more peaceful way is there is a soft balkanization where some states go back to sanity while crazy states just keep going until they exhaust themselves and follow suit with returning to sanity. This is the optimistic route and I think we're kind of seeing it happen already with some states pushing back more and more normies getting bothered by overt degeneracy.

2. The incompetence of everyone in charge leads to economic collapse and there's suddenly a lot less money for things like troon shit and you see people's ability to put up with nonsense go down as paying the bills and putting food on the table becomes a lot more pressing compared to making sure every zir and xim is unoffended and comfortable 24//7

3. Wider societal collapse leads to a lot of pent up resentment finally bursting and scores get settled while no one is looking. Not to imply some /pol/ wet dream but more that with less top down oversight that comes with this type of disruption of society, suddenly you see in a lot of small towns or neighborhoods, trouble makers disturbing the peace (groomers, perverts, troons, commie thugs, whatever) just end up disappearing one day never to be heard of again.
 
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.

The Western World has quietly become a civilization that has tainted the interaction between men and women, where the state forcibly transfers resources from men to women creating various perverse incentives for otherwise good women to make extremely unwise life choices, destructive to both themselves and others. This is unfair to both genders, and is a recipe for a rapid civilizational decline and displacement, the costs of which will ultimately be borne by a subsequent generation of innocent women, rather than men, as soon as 2020. The primary culprits in perpetuating this injustice are not average women, but radical 'feminists' and an assortment of sinister, dishonest men who variously describe themselves as 'male feminists' or 'social conservatives'.


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.
 
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

Nigger the libertarians hate keynes
 
The US is fucked, and as a consequence Europe. Pop culture has destroyed any notion of work ethic and the personal sacrifice required to sustain a society long term. George Orwell always spoke about his fear of american pop culture and the effects it would have on the world, and I think he was proven right, but not even he could have predicted just how deranged things would get.
 
I think there's something about the Internet that makes people go crazy.
Like I said, it feels like "real life is getting cancelled" - and modern world is already isolating and anonymizing, so no wonder there's so much Current Year crazy.

I don't think the loony bin that is modern urban "society" is going to get better. So it seems the best choice to "abandon ship" and move away - while one still can.

I blame the ubiquitousness of phones and how many Zoomers who are growing up today having spent their whole lives near screens. They don't seperate the internet from social media, or even their perception of the internet from the real world. For alot of Zoomers gamergate was Middle School, maybe even elementary age for them at the time, considering how old my cousins we're in 2014. They view the internet as just another place, or a "community". They adhere so hard to these increasingly multiplying, more and more niche "communities" that are led by narcassistic and power hungry troons, pedophiles and other degenerates, to the point where it supplants even their relationships with their parents.
The sheer entitlement, and narcassism is fueled by these cults of personality surrounding generally sick, perverted, and delusional people that try to leverage suicide and their mental health in order to get a 13 year old with an anime pfp to send them nudes. And the worst part of it all is, these kids so brainwashed by all this woke/breadtube/degeneracy, whatever word you prefer, that they blame their parents and the very people who are still sane in their minds because they're now in the outgroup. Kids spend more time on the internet/social media than they do interacting with in eachother in real life, spare the criminal element that wants to smoke or rob or kill one another. Their minds, self image, identities have been fully cleansed of anything human, to the point where they're completely detatched from humanity.

It's not just a tool anymore, at least not for most end users. You can't beat the teams of psychologists at megacorps that design the sites and feedback loops and the developers who implement them and the algorithms.

Don't use social media you say? Easy enough, but even the search results you get aren't immune from this nonsense and finding basic information is harder than it was even a few years ago. Internet users by and large are consumers to be milked of time and money.
