This is a 7/11 in 1987 in the middle of the night. Note the energy, humor and sense of excitement in their community in a place as simple as a gas station. Everybody there is smiling and in a great mood.

What changed, /pol/?

Reposting my post

I was born in 91 in VA. I don't really know what went wrong with people. If I had to guess it probably has something to do with the economic situation of America combined with 9/11 making us live in fear. We went through 2 economic bubbles on top of a War that never seems to end. I wish we could go back to a world where we had plenty of jobs and this cultural Marxist shit didn't exist (or was at least suppressed). Even the niggers seemed better back then. The internet also contributed to some of this shit too.

My life really went to shit after 9/11 when my dad got deployed. My middle brother was batshit insane and my mom couldn't handle him half of the time. My dad ended up getting sent back but by that time everything had changed. I was pretty much independent in middle and high school because my parents were always dealing with my brothers bullshit.

That's pretty much it man. We wouldn't be wasting our lives on 4chan if it wasn't for the internet. The internet makes media and entertainment too easy to access, so you'll obviously get less of this" friendly people amazed by a camera shit."

Fuck it though. I love the time we're living in. We're in the early Cyber-Punk era when the internet was completely free. There is a cold cynicism of this era that has its charm.

We used to be the greatest country in the world... We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reason. We passed laws, struck down laws, for moral reason. We waged wars on poverty, not on poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were and we never beat our chest. We built great, big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases and we cultivated the world’s greatest artists AND the world’s greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn’t belittle it. It didn’t make us feel inferior. We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election and we didn’t scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed…by great men, men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.”

One funny observation, look at the rapefugees behind the Nu male when he gets punched. They don;t even remove their hands from their pockets. They probably were amused if anything. This the unholy alliance we have here. These leftists don't realise how much these immigrants hate them, they hate all of us, but they have a special contempt for the weak, degenerate lefts that are willingly bending over for them. They would at least have some respect for Sean Bean.

When was the last time you went anywhere and saw a bunch of bikes on someone's lawn?

I live between two primary schools, both about 400 yards walk. I never see piles of bikes when I'm out walking the dog.
There's literally one group of four or five young lads I see out often, usually going to one of the fields with a football or just on their bikes.
On the one field there're two trees that're perfectly situated to be goal posts. For as long as I can remember the patch between them was always worn down from kids playing footie. Few years ago I walked past and the grass was perfect. That detail made me really sad at the time.

My 4chan is broken: i cannot reply to posts, I cannot update the thread, and I cannot see how many posts are in the thread.

Anyway, I am from the class of 1987 - I graduated High School in 1987. I think what went wrong is the media, and the destruction of the family.

The media just got mean and ugly. It all started with Jerry Springer. You may not think so now, but his show was pretty shocking and repulsive when it first hit the air. Television used to be nice. He made it mean. Then comedy became mean.

People learn their social skills from TV and movies, because they have no mother or father anymore. So everyone just became mean. We mock each other, we hate each other, we make fun of each other. We see everyone who differs from us as a potential threat or as a loser.

It really has changed. I have lived through it. It is sad. Society is ugly now, because it mirrors what we see on TV and film.

She wrote four pages worth of the funniest shit I wish I could post on here. She ended up filing a lawsuit to more than 10 neurologists.

If Euros we're smart they would convert to Islam and start a European only sect of it, and then if the gov't tried to crack down they could just cry Islamaphobia. They could be like Mormons in that they claim to believe that Mohammad was actually European. Remove kebab in the name of Allah and they might actually comply.

>Yes, brother, we are Islam but we believe that Arabs should practice Islam in the Middle East while Europeans can practice in Europe.

There would be a strong, right-wing Europe and no gang rapes because we all know that white people just aren't that into it. A white, Islamic Europe would be top tier, wouldn't it? Islam isn't really that bad, its just that Arabs are all fucked up in the head. Mudskin savages.

Many people are very meta-aware of themselves these days, I would wager moreso than in previous eras. They are constantly documenting their behavior in ways that put themselves in a good light, and are aware that other people are documenting them as well so they act a certain way to cultivate their image.

Rather than being in the moment they are imagining how they could portray the moment on social media. Go to a concert and take a look at how many people are watching the concert through their phone rather than enjoying the moment.

We're slowly moving into hyperspace, pretty soon everything we know will be artifice and "reality" will become irrelevant to the connected human being.

This video is from a time when this concept was pretty new, even the camera was a novelty, you can tell by the way people act when they see it.

'96 here, went to high school in a small, majority Christian town. I feel like I had a better experience than most people born around then.

Hey retard, how about you actually try and do some fucking research before making yourself look like a COMPLETE MORON.

This is a quote from Mr. Iller's blog regarding your exact claim: "One popular theory to why we all were so friendly, was because we were "tourists" mingling with other "tourists". And when people are on vacation, they are happier. That wasn't the case here. We were pretty much all locals. Even the Spanish speaking guys who said they were tourists (one of them was wearing a Disney employee shirt - see the Mickey on it?). I worked at Disney, Popped Collar and French Girl worked at Disney. I'm pretty sure that John and Kelly were Disney employees. The Mozzarella dude was probably Disney. (We all meet the Disney grooming standards of the time). The 7-11 employees were locals obviously. In other words...none of us were on vacation. Who buys a bag of sugar while on vacation?"

Listen up dipshit, it's 2016, THE AGE OF INFORMATION. You have no excuse to just go on your little image board website and spew IGNORANT BULLSHIT!

Is there a way to make America this way again? How do we bring the happiness back?

Doesn't change the fact that this shit happens all the time these days. I've worked plenty of late night/early morning shift at gas stations, this kind of thing happens at that hour. Why do I get the impression none of you on this board have ever been out past 11pm before?

The 90's

Urban shit culture was exported to every suburb in America.

People became hostile and arrogant. The American culture was poisoned by shit like day time talk shows.

Weed made a big come back.

The Clinton presidency was a disgrace. It was constant bickering between the left and right. Nothing got done.

The pre-millenial anxiety was really kicking in. People were honestly afraid of what was going to happen at the end of 1999.

Soviet Russia was gone. Without a monolithic enemy it was hard to define our own identity.

Cynicism plagued the nation and made people joyless, angry and hostile.

Cell phones ruined practically everything. From driving a car to watching a movie. They literally destroyed our way of life.

I think that America has become more atomized and less united.

Diversity has had an impact. In his book "Bowling Alone", Robert Putnam found that increased diversity in a community led to less social trust and less civic participation. When social trust declines, people turn inward and that's why you see a lower level of socialization.

In addition, technological progress has also impacted socialization. Many people spend a lot of time on the Internet and social media rather than going out and doing things. In the past, you never had this option, but now you have limitless entertainment at your fingertips.

Finally, the political climate in America fosters necessary division by race and sex. We have largely taken on an us vs. them mentality. Many liberals think of conservatives as uneducated hicks from the hinterlands while conservatives would view liberals as latent homosexuals who don't care about the country.

I graduated in 1986.

What changed is we didn't have the internet, or smartphones, or Netflix, or cable tv. When we wanted to be entertained, we went out and did something, even if doing something meant hanging out at the 7-11 or cruising around. For us, it was a major social event to go to the 7-11 for a slurpee and a bag of chips.
