Is there a chance the 2020s could be salvaged as a good decade? - The First 2 Years may have destroyed what people will feel about the decade.

the 2010s were "fine" although shit started going south in 2014, Woke was already a clear and present danger before Trump ever rode down that escalator.

I think the big difference is that all that shit felt like something that could still be combatted back then. There was a rising counterculture calling the nonsense out and it seemed like there was a fairly widespread feeling that we could beat it and return to not just normalcy, but steer a better course altogether. Things like Brexit and the Trump election seemed to confirm that the times were a-changing, at the very least.

Then it became apparent just how engrained institutional support for wokery is, and how they'd never accept any kind of loss and instead use it to vindictively batter the wrong thinkers into submission. Trump, Brexit and similar movements turned out to be duds, both out of their own incompetence and sabotage from the other side. The characterization of even the mildest opposition towards Postmodern dogma has shifted from being called shitlords by Tumblerites, to being denounced as subversive traitors by international media and actual governments. It's not just disillusionment that's caused people to tap out of culture war politics, it's become increasingly hazardous to your public image and career to voice the slightest whisper of disagreement with all the totalitarian bullshit that's being shoved down our throats.

Everything just feels a lot more bleak now than back then. It's pretty much an implicit truth that the crazies won and the best we can hope for are temporary, minor delays of their idiotic plans, which just serves to enrage and embolden them further. It's all so tiresome.

Not being informed about what could come around and cause harm to you anyway isn't good though. Yes, don't look at doomer news articles all day, but seeing what's really happening is necessary now. And you can't just go out to a farm in the middle of nowhere anymore. Billie gates wants that land... and many others.

What happened was in response to Trump those people networked together and worked very hard to reshape our society as essentially they saw Trump as an act of war so they decided to become very militant and ensure it couldn't happen again.

What they achieved is actually kind of remarkable, in just a little over 5 years they managed to radically change our society into something completely different than what it was in 2015.

That's the difference is in 2015 you knew this attitude was out there but it had yet to become fully institutionalized like it is now.

I like to believe things aren't that bleak and it's not too late for Woke to get serious pushback, but at the same time it honestly seems like nothing is going to stop these people than a literal civil war by this point, they've rigged the entire game in their favor so everyone but them loses.

There was definitely a lot more hope years ago that sanity would win out.

I don't know what y'all think you're informed on! Where is the good and reasonable information? That was a rhetorical question.

In all humility, I'm just one person and being informed on geo-political politics is probably the least useful thing I can do for this world. Trust me though, the apocalypse isn't going to take my family by surprise, it's not like we're that ignorant.

Anyway, if the future is in the hands of zoomers we're doomer'd. These ageist fucks have the gall to hate on my parents generation for "like, totally basically fucking the planet" while hoarding funkos and Jordans. Just about every single one of them is a consoomerist creep to some degree.

At the end of the day, Woke-ists are both convicted and serious.

If you just want to "get along to get along" you will be steamrolled by people willing to destroy friendships and families over faggot "rights" and "anti racism".

Its not just insincere support either-like the people who run HR departments with troon flags really fully believe it. It satisfies a religious impulse. This makes them a lot stronger than conservatives and libertarians who may or may not believe in God, but aren't going to burn down schools and government buildings over it.

That's on top of total institutional support. So I'm very pessimistic.

Well depending on where you live in Burgerland, you got half your wish.

Edit: Don't be pessimistic, if you're optimistic about things changing you'll have a better outlook on these things.

Well Roe V. Wade is getting overturned, and from what I'm hearing you don't need a permit to own guns. Now the states are getting more power and leftists can get BTFOd
