Why was 2008 such a shitty year /pol/?
I always associate 08' as the year when everything went to shit, in Society, Politics, Technology, The Internet, Music and just The World.
Is there any single event that sparked this trend?
2010-2015 should just be forgotten.
2016-2020 will be remembered as the rebirth of society thanks to Trump.
'08 was the year that massive recession we're only getting out of started, dumbass

global recession
obama becomes president
freaks who would be ridiculed in public and only had a voice online now become accepted in public and infect the culture of the west/rise of the sjw's
thankfully sjwism overplayed its hand and blew its load too quick and everyone sees how crazy it is now

funny b/c if gdp goes negative this quarter we will be in another one

Perhaps they see it as crazy, but at least in the States' the SJW's still have a very loud and powerful voice.
A shame, they all ought to be put to death.

I can't do a damn thing about the U.S government except voting for Trump in November.
Go ahead and tell me all the shit you've done to better this world, jerking off to Anime and shitposting here all day doesn't count by the way.

loud minority is what they are
silent majority is back this year, sadly its painfully obvious trump will get the required delegates but the GOP will do some shenanigans at the convention to deny him the nomination.
Coincidentally, Paul Ryan released a video a few weeks ago that seems eerily like a campaign video ...
either ryan or kasich imo will get the nom
Housing bubble which began the recession.

i heard there is a new housing bubble in australia and canada thanks to the chinese
my bet is the next crisis will either be due to china crashing or a student debt crisis

Nah I think Trump will get the nomination. Trump's real fall will be when he finally campaigns against Hillary. As shitty as it sounds it's true. This country sucks ass because people are uninformed.

That's exactly the type of defense mechanism I'd expect from a person like you.

Allegedly culture flourishes when the economy suffers. Not every saying holds true it appears.

when do you predict the crash will actually happen though ? i think that china scare last year is not over but simply held off for a while and will end up in a full blown crash very soon, possibly within 2-3 years

>when do you predict the crash will actually happen though
Hard to say. The powers that be will do everything in there power to stop a crash. I thought for sure August was gonna be it, then I thought February, now I'm thinking the crash is coming sometime this summer. Pic related. See any Patterns?
