When did Clown World officially start?

[12345]

I'm going to say when they started the LHC. We go to a worse alternative dimension every time they turn it on.

Considered a child genius and labeled as the “smartest young man in the world,” Max Laughlin surprised the world with his extraordinary intellectual abilities.

I'll blame Obama blending complete media abasement, going "never enough" on racism, and giving center stage to sexual deviants and big tech.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

For me, I'd say 2004.

Remember that Don Imus incident? Looking back it was like an early sign of Current Year.

Imus said some rude remark about black female basketball players (IIRC), and the media fixated on that for days and days.

Nappy headed hoes!

For our purposes, that would be circa 2013-ish and Obama's second term with the vesting of corporate power fully into this new stage where psychological warfare is overtly waged on the state's own citizens.

Also, I love how Clinton gets blamed for Iraq and Mess-o-potamia. George H.W. Bush is like the Gen-X of presidents. Nobody even knows he existed. That's some top-tier glow from a career glowie

Obama and his male wife is a good clown world example, but so is Bush, the fact that he played at being a dunce to be more relatable or the false flag that is 9/11 and the official creation of a deep state, with mt. weather and "continuity of government".

When the Internet went mainstream. It connected isolated islands of autism.

This is very true. It went from “I can’t let anyone know that I secretly eat my own shit” to “Join my shit-eating Facebook group! We deserve rights and visibility!”

On 911, that's when the march towards clown world began.

 

[Unyielding Stupidity]

Gamergate. It's the signifying event of when "woke" culture really took off and began to overtake mainstream culture.

Great thread! It's stuff I talk-moan about ALL THE TIME, and the few friends I have left are sick of hearing it. Let me share some of the tedium with you.

I agree that 2014-15 is where we entered the turbo phase of Clown World, for sure. Also, 2001 for very obvious reasons.

But for me, the 1990s is the seeding ground for where we are now in a lot of ways. I think someone my age (I turned 50 a while ago) will stereotypically regard the '90s as a great era. But IMO, the '90s were GARBAGE!! It's just that we didn't notice so much. The seeds bore their poisonous fruit this century.

One thing is political correctness. If you were like me, you thought it was a simple rebranding of GOOD MANNERS. Anyone who didn't dig it was a REACTIONARY. I was so liberal it was ridiculous. With my lovely pastel shades and my really long braids, I was so NICE. I can't stomach how NICE I was when I think about it now. Current year me is basically the little devil on the shoulder of 1996 me.

So, I'm just saying I was a part of this. PCism was taking hold, but without well-meaning fuckwits like me, this WOKE shit would never happen like we see it today. It started with policing bad words. Ooo, someone said RETARD! Cue facial expression as if you've received a sharp jab from a pin on your ass. I was very skilled at doing this, but even at the time I knew it was a well-oiled ACT. Next minute, we have 375 gender pronouns. Honestly, fuck the 1990s.

As to pop culture & the influence of it (which interests me). Today, esp in the capeshit nonsense, EVERYONE talks like a spoilt, 15yo smartass. Even a 50yo Iron Man talks like a bratty teenage girl. I really hate this. And where does it spring from? Joss Whedon and Buffy. So fuck Joss Whedon and fuck the 1990s.

The Matrix. A horrible, derivative, shallow turd of a film, by a couple of kinkster chuds, and still most movies are aping that thing like it's the Holy Grail of modern hipster genius. Fuck the Matrix, fuck the Wiggy Wachowski Coomers - and fuck the 1990s.

Yeah, I don't like the '90s, guys. I must admit I had a really great time, but I still don't like it! We should've seen this coming. We should've known. And my apologies to any 1990s fans out there. I understand. But recovery IS possible.

TL;DR: the '90s sucked wet, splashy farts directly from the bowels of dead gerbils. This is why Richard Gere was so big in the '90s.

Started with the legalization of gay marriage plain and simple. Everything happening today being pushed under the "lgbtabc's" uses the momentum off from the gay marriage victory at least tangentially. No one wants to be caught on the "wrong side of history" again. It may come as a surprise to some now, but being pro gay marriage wasn't really that popular of a stance to take before 2010. Being pro gay couple sure, but even Obama wasn't for gay marriage in 2008. Then all of the sudden, support for gay marriage was the popular stance from almost out of nowhere, almost like it was manufactured approval. (Probably because it was.) Anyone who was not in support of gay marriage then now have egg on their face and even a bigot for not supporting the future current thing when they had the chance. This is why now you see so many people just accept ludicrous ideas like a man chopping his balls off makes them a women, the 546 genders and their pronouns, drag queen story hours, taking kids sexually deviant events, transitioning children at the age of 5, the acceptance of borderline pedophilia or often even straight up pedophilia, and much much more all fall under the lgbt umbrella now. And in a similar matter, why so many people support progressivism and it's policies as the lgbt falls under the progressive umbrella. It's all just the "current thing" mentality and everyone wants to make sure they don't have a repeat of choosing the "wrong side" like what happened with gay marriage.

In short, if gay marriage still wasn't legal, do you really think the lunacy you see now would be present? It seems to me anyways that the legalization of gay marriage was the damn holding the crazy in.

The slippery slope fallacy wasn't a fallacy after all.

For meme's sake, I'd say Current Year™

But to get spergy about it, the French Revolution. Communism snowballed out of that time period and I think it's impossible to point at anything clownish in the modern era without it clearly being attached to the Frankfurt School.

Feminism, faggotry, (((democracy)), muh "genders", transsexualism, etc etc are all tactics introduced for the sole purpose of destabilization under the guise of helping the downtrodden.

Maybe that's reductionist and the right wing version of "everyone I don't like is Hitler" but I think Communism is the root of any grand unified theory to explain the increasingly bizarre state of affairs

When STEMcels started influencing culture and having power.

Clown world is literally just the culture of tech people, programmers are a bunch of tranny furfags with maoist fetishes.

Silicon valley now is forcibly normalizing their own culture for everyone else through social enginering. Technocracy of dweebs micromanaging every human interaction is something every nerd bugman in the sciences jerks off to.

 

[Afinepickle]

It began precisely at the end of Occupy Wall Street. That's the moment when the movers and shakers that control our media and popular consensus went full hog into identity politics and the moonbat extremes of progressive liberalism because they're such fucking cowards that a bunch of hipsters and faux-commie larpers squatting in front of their place of business made them shit a brick.

America has always been an eccentric place for weirdos. But clown world as we know it began around the early 2010s in Earnest by eager progressives who wanted to be inclusive. However once a progressive says yes they rarely stop.

The reason why no one challenged these assumptions is people assume that this was merely a fad and phase and not something permanent.

Unfortunately clown world is here it's only getting worse and people want to snap.

 

[Stoner Metal]

I am sure that is part of it. But I think another big part of it is that the controllers of our culture have made it so that openly challenging many of these things can and often will result in social ostracization that can get so bad that you can find yourself harassed, fired from your job or worse. The leftists have made it so that challenging these assumptions can put one in harms way and most people are just struggling to keep their heads above water so they just go along to get along because they are already in a bad enough situation and don't need a target on their back because of wrongthink.

I would argue the late 1970s was when the actual gates of hell opened, even if only subtly
