It's going to be another Russia/Ukraine one where its the same fucking Slavic retards fighting over a mud hole, but one is good somehow.
People idolize those times because they were far freer than today, in the case of the farms people both reflect on the early internet allowing actual free expression in a much wider area, and in reality where there was a lot less crackdown on what used to be had. The 2000s make way less sense to worship since that was post patriot act but not all of the bullshit that would inevitably come from it had come to a head. The 2000s were also the last few years, a little bit of the 2010s too before woke ideology really hit the turbo button.
> far freer than today
There were some bad but today we have the knock on effects of an additional ten years of societal upheaval and regulations. I would rather live with that than live with what we're dealing with. Another difference is just the pure data that is had on everyone as a result (though it'd probably have happened anyway in some form) of the effects of the patriot act that just kept stacking with everything else. It is far, far easier for the state to screw you on gotchas when everything is recorded.
Social media is the biggest player in all of this
I'm a firm believer in that three letters helped scrounge up the money that lead to data being such a huge industry. Sure, you can see how it can make money by itself but I think it would have taken way longer to mature and perhaps enough time for proper restrictions against the hellworld it created to at least somewhat exist. The patriot act supercharged social media into the five eyes number one tool, change my mind.
I think this best sums up just a part of what's eating at today's generation.
People who cannot let go of the 90s/00s are the primary reason why all of the enemies of wokism are dumber than they are. Don't worry I'm sure voting with your wallet in the marketplace of ideas against the people who print money will prevail any day now!
First time in the Thunderdome?
They aren't able to move on from it because a large portion of the right-wing is bitter 30 year-old white guys who are upset they aren't teenagers anymore and are just lashing out at whatever new thing pops up out of spite then any real worry about "societal decay". Liberals have no attachment to the past outside of some media that they liked and are constantly modernizing, which is one of the many reasons why they won.
You confuse stupidity with lacking malice, perhaps willingly. A large portion of the boomerish right still thinks they can fight fairly because they don't want to stoop to that level, they want to believe holding to the same morals in this area will make them 'better'. I don't fault them for this. They do not want to see just how bad things have gotten.
That's a 1990s style of thinking. Other, more successful styles of thinking show no mercy to stupidity, and I promise you wokism won't either. Besides this doesn't even apply to the boomer right, the boomer right are unintelligent sociopaths who simped for billionaires, corporations, and the government, incorrectly believing that they were part of the institutionalized upper-middle class, and now they've outlived their usefulness and are getting exactly what they deserve. They were the unironic supporters of "muh private companies", and it wasn't until they started getting banned from internet forums for being racists that they suddenly decided that letting corporations do whatever they want was a bad idea. They are reactionaries with no strategic vision, as evidenced by the Jan 6 insurrectionists. They consider things like philosophy, strategy, or having any sort of plan to be unmasculine, much better to spend your time showing off how American you are and learning how to change a tire. If you replaced their brains with the brain of an angry bull and you'll get the same results.
