Did anyone ever felt a great social shift in or after 2012? 2012 was the year people said that the world was going to end, obviously it didn't but maybe something did happened and we didn't notice it at least during that time.

He's an interesting video on it.

Some people on Kiwifarms think so too.
The end of the world did happen in 2012, it's just not everyone noticed.
9/11 was when Clown Airlines started towards the runway, 2012 and Occupy was when the acceleration down the runway began, 2016 and Orange Man Bad was when the plane took off, and 2020 is when cruising altitude was reached and fasten seatbelt sign was turned off.

(and the non-stop flight seems to be flying towards tyranny airport)
December 21st, 2012
It all began on the day the Mayans said an era ends and a new one begins.
2012 happened to be around the time Occupy was derailed by SJWs, and when "smartphones" and "social media" really took off.
I think 2012 was the tipping point, or the point of no return, or whatever you want to call it. In 2013 I got pushback from a friend for saying "faggot" who had been totally fine with it in 2012. That personal anecdote aside, 2012/2013 is also the year likes started overtaking retweets on Twitter. If you go back to popular accounts from the early 2010s and look at their tweets you can see the shift yourself. I don't know if that's a coincidence or not but it's interesting. Anyway, up until 2012 I feel most people could say and do just about anything online without repercussions, but in that year, or at the absolute latest the following year, that changed and speech started to be really heavily policed. This also lines up with the timeline of the consolidation of the Internet from tens of thousands of sites to a few dozen, all owned by a handful of companies. I remember in the mid-2000s I personally would regularly visit (at least once a week) 60 or more websites. Most people these days don't even regularly visit 10. Everything becoming increasingly monopolized and corporatized happened at right the same time speech started getting policed more heavily. No way is that a coincidence.

However, there were a few outliers that looking back were a portent of things to come. Before cancel culture, way back in late 2010, I remember a member of a forum I went to at the time was ridiculed from the community because a troon had a grudge against him. He and the troon had had some conversations where he said cancellable things, like how he exclusively viewed trannies as sex objects and not as people, among other things. The troon, who was not a member of this community, came onto the board to expose this and he left the community in shame after we all dogpiled him, and I will admit I joined in on the dogpile, mainly because I disliked him for other personal reasons.

And there's other little things from before then. I remember first hearing in 2006 or so this exact phrase: "sex is what you are, gender is how you feel." And one I'm sure others here may have heard: "America isn't a melting pot, it's a salad bowl."

So while I think 2012 or, at latest, 2013, was when things really started to go off the cliff, it had been brewing for years, even decades.

My personal opinion is this has been building since the end of WW2 in Europe. Everything up to the present day that's gay and retarded is because of what I feel is an overreaction, in the aftermath of the war, to things that happened in it. The Holocaust was sooo bad we have to over-correct and just fuck our shit up for generations to come, and here we are where your entire life is ruined because in 2010 you tweeted out some rap lyrics that had a no-no word in them. Give me those dumb ratings or whatever the fuck, that's just what makes sense to me.
Don't forget, 2012 was the year that Trayvon Martin was shot. That started all kinds of shit with the whole Black Lives Matter movement growing out of it.
 
I didn't feel any "shift" around 2012 - other than that failed "end of the world" prediction and that Harold Camping "the Bible guarantees it" Rapture thing, that is.

But looking back and like I said in that quote in the OP, 2012 was the real genesis of Clown World.
 
No, I think a lot of people are gaslighting themselves because they're so pessimistic/blackpilled to the point that they'll start to believe anything and everything that's thrown their way, which is why a good portion of them happen to be ziggers/qtards as well.
 
I don't think the "end of the world" we're seeing is the end in itself, but is the byproduct of the decades of the boomerism notion of "don't judge others". It's increasingly unpopular to pass judgment, and by extension to have some level of standards. The troonism fad is a further extension to the boomerism mindset. Everything that has happened within my life seems to stem from the keystone boomerism.

You can not be anything, you can not become a man or a woman if not already that sex. At best people should politely humor these poor people who've fallen into a deleterious lifestyle due to echo chambers, without ceding any ground.

Don’t judge others became “Don’t judge me.” Fuck that, I judge myself, and others, harshly.

2013 was when domestic propaganda was fully legalized and the media and tech industries became full-blown tools of the US government. From there it was just a matter of time for the culture war to be turned up to 11. Total collaboration between state and corporate power.

Of course this is also when these same people started fanning the flames of racial tensions, not the least to dismantle the OWS movement and distract people from real problems like accelerating income inequality, stagnant incomes, the bailouts and money printing.
 
2012 is when people getting a bug up their ass about race, gender and sexuality really started to become visible to everyone.

There was a shift as soon as Obama was elected where it became "if you don't like him, you're racist", I remember proto-cancel culture as far back as 2009 where some people raised a fuss over games where Orson Scott Card or Doug TenNapel were involved, even years before that as far back as 2006 there was a shitstorm over a Left Behind video game as well as the incidents with Michael Richards, Don Imus and Mel Gibson.

But 2012 is when the scales really started to tip, it's all a perfect storm, the rise of the internet, the rise of social media, the election of Obama, the Great Recession, the post 9/11 climate, if any one of those things didn't happen, how different would the world be? It's all colluding together to undo centuries if not thousands of years of social and cultural norms and it does feel apocalyptic.


No. I really don't think it happened until Trump became President. It fried some kind of collective mental circuit and we're still recovering from it.
Speaking from my personal experience, in a certain online community I was a part of from 2010-2018, people were always very left wing, they loved Obama, they hated conservatives, Fox News and the Tea Party, but they still loved a good edgy joke, they would still at least allow you to voice a right wing opinion even if they treated you like an idiot and they still felt worthy talking to with a variety of opinions on various things.

Then Trump was elected and I saw this massive shift where they stopped liking edgy humor and all became Pod People that all talked exactly the same and had the exact same opinions on everything and would absolutely dogpile you if you went against the grain, things really became intolerable after #MeToo where people would directly accuse you of sexual assault if you dared to question what was happening.

So while we can definitely see the shift occurring from 2012 to 2016 there was another massive shift that occurred after the Trump election.
 
OK, two things:

1. Reality, or at least our perception of it, shifts all the time. Could be when our team loses a game. Could be when we have a health scare. Could be when our dog dies - or our mom dies. The point is, virtually anything can adjust your perception of reality and therefore, yes, society or culture, when nothing outside your own sphere has changed at all.

2. We Farmers are much more aware of weirdness in society and culture than virtually anyone else, and that makes us hypersensitive to the perception that all things are in upheaval. We must bear in mind that, to the majority, life is chugging along as normal even while we are aware that some ridiculous group of trannies is trying to shut down free speech on the internet (f'r instance).

I just want to say that race is prepolitical. There is no way to keep race from being weaponized by the wealthy or other interest except to not live with differentiated races in the first place.

Blacks, as an example, have been weaponized no less since the world wars. How did American cities get so fucked so fast? Why weren't there any successful maneuvers to stop it? Well, there was a political and financial interest to bus hoodlums in to break up communities in order to create political strongholds in the cultural nexuses of the country. Any resistance was made illegal, where that wasn't enough things were instigated to violence to frighten people, destroy and devalue property, and justify the federal or state government cracking down and doing what they wanted anyway.

Even if John Lennon's curse inflicts you and you think racism is bad, for the sake of peace and justice, to prevent corruption and deceit, people should be allowed to, individually and collectively, discriminate on who is welcome in their communities based on any heuristic they choose. Civil rights legislation has been detrimental to the sovereignty of any group that wishes to form an identity for itself, instead subordinating us all to international gangsters instituting a deliberate disgenics program on a scale never before seen.

Nonsense, in the post-Civil Rights Movement era nobody other than hoteps/NOI and Klan hillbillies gave a shit about racial matters up until the past decade or so when the propaganda was turned on.

Honestly, I think it was lead poisoning. Blacks migrated to the cities in large numbers in the first half of the 20th century and were exposed to massive amounts of lead from vehicles and paint. It doesn't take a lot of lead to make you a low-IQ idiot.

Overall, lead exposure explains why there are so many dumb boomers compared to previous and successor generations...they are literally the dumbest people alive in this country today.

Racism is bad, it is spectacularly ignorant and primitive to judge someone solely on that basis. And let's be honest 100% of the policies and problems we face in this country today have been inflicted by whites, unless you think someone like Trump or Pelosi is non-white.
 
People got mad at bankers. Jews and non jewish overlords unleashed identity politics people into the angry crowd, the world was forever changed from there.

There was a very brief period where people were literally waking up to the corruption of the NOSES in high places. Between 2009-2011 the people were literally gaining awareness. After 2012 and a carefully arranged race baiting media narrative people were put back into cul-de-sac of infighting amongst each other. Race, gender, abortion bans and possibly even the pandemic (we just don't know) - were diversions for us goyim.

The media to this day won't speak a word about stagnant wages or any sort of economic issues. Very telling. We are just so fucked.
