Looking back on 2019 - The last year before Corona

It was just two years ago but I barely remember it now

Even the replies ITT seem dated despite being from only 8-9 months ago

Yeah. It's been a long two years since then. But 2019 was a good year for me. Travelled to the East Coast with my dad for a week for my birthday, entered my senior year of high school towards the end of it. I was at least content. But then, then, its been a cascade of shit since March of last year. Deaths in the family, the election, and all the crap that's been spewed out in the world, and not in that order...

God, if only I knew how good I had it in '19.

The biggest thing I miss from 2019 is all the people who I lost contact with do to Corona and other things. I totally did not value the relationships that I had at the time and I deeply regret it. Overall the year was pretty good I didn't do much note worthy but I look back at it fondly. Things were not as stressful and everything felt somewhat normal still.

2019 was a subtly tense year, socially speaking. Idk guys, maybe I’m just autistically thinking retrospectively but I think that it was somewhat evident that we were on the brink of something.

I agree with this and it's not just hindsight, as I distinctly remember feeling that way as well in 2019.

As someone pointed out before, the sheer amount of riots and protests was suspicious. Mostly because a lot of riots barely had a reasons or the reason was very very specific.

I knew the election of Trump wasn't going to end without some real serious shit happening, of course what I was thinking was something like a civil war.

But I'm a firm believer that the virus was released on purpose because of Trump, so I was right.

While I don’t think Trump was necessarily the only reason for the pandemic to happen, I tend to think too that it wasn’t an organic event. The timing was too perfect.

2019 was probably the last semi normal year we'll ever have unless divine intervention magically puts us back on a saner path.

Unless I'm forgetting something, Epstein was probably the biggest happening of the year, and yet that doesn't seem so crazy in 2021 terms. The powers-that-be aren't even trying to be clever or sneaky anymore -- they just put it all out there for the world to see.

2019 was the last year I had the optimistic outlook that things were about to change. Recovering from the trauma that was 2018, I was under the impression that the global elite has ran out of ways to control us and that the dark ages were about to be over, I honestly thought the only way to go was up at that point. The COVID shit they pulled out of their ass really did a number on me and made me realize how powerful the global elites truly were. Reflecting on whether it would be their emergency backup and inspired by a Nazi Party, I severely underestimated the sheer amount of sheep that cause these panics to be successful and led to the creation of this nightmare. Then again people were scared into giving up their rights to the government for increased airport security after 9/11 so if people don't have critical thinking then, they wouldn't have it now. Many people in my family still believe the government would give them back their freedoms but that's just like saying the Nazi Party would give it's citizens back it's freedoms. It just won't happen. I often worry they may come out severely mutilated in the end. I sometimes get anxious and sometimes shed tears just wishing everything would go back to normal like it was in 1999 but I don't trust most governments anymore. I still reflect on 2019 with slight reverence just because I was happier then and is the last Semi-Normal year.

Conspiracy hat here, but apart of me wonders if 2019 was continuing a trajectory the PTB found intolerable or needing an immediate course correction.

The amount of protests, the death of Epstein, trump finally finding his stride, it seems like the (((powers))) decided “wait slam the breaks” and then COVID happened and then you had Burn Loot Murder throughout the second half of the year.

I don’t think woke-ism was dying but it was at least not ascending without any pushback or restraint.

I don’t think the “normality” of that year-will ever return. Not just because the (((PTB))) don’t want too, but a sizable portion of the population will continue the madness out of genuine desire for it.

For me it was the second last year at college, and was IIRC a fairly decent year. I don’t remember anything remarkable happening. I remember the australia fires at the end of the year, and the sheer amount of protests in the news.

There's a horrible schism in my memory now that I absolutely hate, everything pre-Covid now feels so remote and distant, almost surreally so.

And the first half of 2020, the early days of Covid, the Floyd riots, it feels like a lifetime ago despite being less than two years.

The timing was too perfect, there's literally no possible way that there just happened to be a pandemic in a year when Trump was up for re-election, there's just no way.
