If you were born after 1964 you should kill yourself
smartphones
the internet used to just be for nerdy people since normies dont want to sit at a computer all day, but now everyone on earth including little kids and starving niggers in africa have a smartphone that can go online, so all the worst shit about western culture can propagate at lightspeed

These days, I see many kids with Stan Smith shoes, bragging about getting the newest IPhone, wearing T-shirts with DUDE WEED LMAO on it, or having that shitty trendy haircut.
Blame the parents, they are not that much better.
>>27581431
After the late 80s.
90s are no better than millennial babies.
>>27581431
>mfw OP is younger than me and actually takes this picture seriously
At least kids are a bit nicer to each other, it may be because they're all a bunch of trannies and wusses, but bullying is really improving in our public school systems, and I think it has to do with the kids instead of the administration.
>>27581547
what does the gif have to do with it? baka
>dat pic
lol if you spoil your kid that way you can do it in fucking 1885
>>27581431
like 1975. after that PCs started being a thing and hippies were having a lot of kids and schools stopped trying to teach anyone.
the only thing america had that was still supporting hard work and mindful innovation was the cold war, so maybe by the 90s the bottom just fell out. but around 1975 america started getting fatter, dumber and weirder.
Maybe if people didn't spoil their kids they wouldn't act like little shits all the time, it's not the times it's shitty parenting.

From your coddled perspective, yes.

>>27581431
Since when people get too attached to the past.
"Kids these days.." has been around for a long ass time. Yet, world is mostly better place than it is in the past (You wouldn't be shitposting here if it wasn't for easily accessible internet and there wouldn't be any free stolen chinese fappu material).

Has the ability to spend 16 hours a day shitposting really improved our lives?

Better is subjective and relative.
Everyone longs for something they think they want until they actually get it.
>>27582932
I don't know, but we chose that.
The circlejerkery probably have consoled a lot of people.
>>27581431
I'm 27 years old, and what is this? What is the point of this thread?
Things change. Why are the material wants of a younger generation supposedly indicative that the world has gone "to shit"
>>27581547
Kids in every generation are brats, but clearly the most bratty and self-entitled generation so far has to be the baby boomers.

or you can get develop polio and living a painful existence until you die at age of 13
>>27581431
Greed. Capitalism. I remember watching the world go to shit in the mid-90s and thinking "Really? They're just going to flush the world down the toilet for a cynical quick buck?" The answer was yes, and it's just gotten worse every single year since then. The millennials are basically the first generation that's nothing but a consumer product to be disposed of once it outlives its value.
>>27583024
where are you going with this, people shouldn't be making decision for themselves anymore?
You can always ask your parents to keep an eye on your internet usage if you need it.

That's all undeniably true but doesn't change the reality of what I said.
If we don't share the same concept of better, then everything you listed is meaningless.
>>27583092
What? You mean like the fall of Rome? Yeah, history repeats itself because idiots like you refuse to learn from it.
>>27581431
Are millennials really this pathetic that they attack the younger generation even though they are exactly like them? Tell me a normie that doesn't identify with the right image more.
>>27583182
Fucking gross as fuck.
>>27583153
I see better has fed, not dying at 50, and have the freedom to make decisions for your life in most part.
The present seems pretty good to me, you don't have a choice anyway.
>>27583182
nah its just people born 80s to early 90s who have the superiority complex
>>27582666
This. My aunts kids are surrounded by technology and video games and all that shit but they're so well-mannered and polite and I've never seen them in their phones when they're with the family. Even when they're alone the little girl reads, the boy draws or plays his instruments. The eldest is 16 and he plays a lot of video games and does digital art but he's still a sweet and grateful kid.
Where do you think kids learn from?
Better parenting is definitely needed to change things DESU.
>>27583260
It's not about having an actual choice. I'm just arguing perspective.
Logically, you can only argue what is best for you.
>>27583160
learning is part of history
human experience all repeats to a certain extent, e.g. calling someone idiot for disagreeing with you
>>27583338
I think that there are some pretty solid factors that makes up a "better" human condition.
e.g. food&water, shelter, and medical care are pretty much good for everyone
>>27583401
You keep arguing subjective terms and I'm not disagreeing.
I'm just saying, you can't expect your experience of the world and what you view as "better" to be objective and standard. There are people alive today in third world countries that would kill for the "horrific" conditions you listed before.
There are people in first world countries from that era who probably long to go back there. They were used to a different "better".
>>27583349
You're an idiot because you're trying to mollify the inexcusable like all idiots did before you. Idiots like you are WHY civilizations keep collapsing. But, of course, you're too fucking stupid and degenerate to even comprehend your own degree of stupidity and degeneracy.
>>27583503
I really doubt that there are many people in first world countries who want to deny themselves accessible food&water, shelter, and medical care.
>>27583563
I'm not arguing numbers, man. I'm not even telling you you're wrong. I'm literally jus stating that your opinion isn't fact.

It was always shit, you just weren't around to experience the previous millennia of shitness.
The human race is not on the end of some golden age to apocalypse continuum.
We've just always been shit.
people are just so terminally delusional that they disregard all the awful shit about the "good old days" because they don't want to face up to the idea that their ancestors were just as clueless, greedy and untrustworthy as they are.
There was never a golden age.
This certain't isn't it, but at least we've all got clean (ish) water and aren't at any risk of being butchered and enslaved by nomadic horse people.

>>27583841
Also this, humanity is a shit
>>27583663
Yes.
Prove that it's not. If I can find one person who genuinely disagrees with you, and the only thing validating each view is nothing more than opinion based on experience, then what you're espousing isn't an objective fact. If I can find even one person who would rather see everyone in abject misery and only himself have everything and consideration that to be better, then everything you're saying is literally just an opinion.
I don't really see how that's hard to follow.

We actually objectively perform much better on various tasks than our ancestors.
e.g. Olympics results, top level Chess game, logistic & business efficiency, literacy, war, medicine, diplomacy, and learning in general
so it is not getting worse, that's for sure
>>27583871
They do in numbers. His mentality is the same as the majority throughout history. This is exactly why you DO NOT GIVE CIVILIZATION TO THE PLEBS. When the intelligent run society, the plebs bitch a bit but everyone benefits, when the plebs run society, nobody is happy, not even the plebs and in the end society collapses. Unfortunately, since human nature is mostly evil, the wicked, stupid and uncreative tend to rule in easy times and collapse is inevitable.
>>27582930
Overpriced conformist mass-marketed shit.
Basically normie shoes.
>>27583160
The problem is, what lessons should we learn from the fall of Rome? It's easy to say "the Baby Boomers shit the bed," but it's hard to say precisely what they did that was so bad, so then it's hard to avoid repeating their mistakes.
But in general, I think the normie internet is a bad thing, with no qualifications. Social media makes people into raging narcissists, and it provides just enough distance between them and others that it's easy to rampantly dehumanize people they minorly disagree with. Obviously these traits are present in us from the get go or else the normie internet would never bring them out, but the scale at which it can occur nowadays is breathtaking.
>>27583864
Well you can argue against any general truth common sense this way if you want to split hairs.
>>27583921
>e.g. Olympics results, top level Chess game, logistic & business efficiency, literacy, war, medicine, diplomacy, and learning in general
None of this shit is fucking true. More entitled teenager bullshit. There is literally no way to judge fucking Olympic or Chess performance of ancient people except through supposition, which is stupid. And we're MUCH less intelligent than our ancestors. Humans have lost brain matter the size of a tennis ball since 20,000 years ago. We just have more shit built upon other shit to get lazy lounging our fat, stupid asses on now, so everything thinks we're "better" when we just have a better store of resources and tech our ancestors fought for.
>>27583960
Eugenics. The lesson from all civilizations from Atlantis to the American Empire is the same: you must weed out the bad blood. Those predisposed to bad behavior and foolishness MUST NOT BE PERMITTED TO BREED.
>>27583975
I'm not splitting hairs. I'm telling you your opinion isn't a fact.
Your response to my first post literally should've been, "Oh, okay."
>>27583984
Mate you're retarded if you think modern computer aided analysis and study has not improved chess players further than they've ever been before. Just by memorizing the objectively best lines of common openings gives a huge advantage.
>>27583923
Have you been living on Mars? Intelligent people have been running the society since the dawn of time, and history proves that humans cannot be nearly intelligent enough to ensure a everlasting society.
>>27583984
anon, they have chronometers back in the day, you can google Olympic record for let's say, sucking dicks, you won't see your great great grandma on the list but you will see your mom on the top 3 lists

Well I think it's safe to say that you're part of the "not learning from history" problem. Not because >omg Nazis, but because reducing genetic variation is simply a retarded proposal.
>>27583984
Anon, are you literally retarded?
Maybe you should do the society a favor and don't procreate.
pic related is just a single example, humans have been resetting records since Olympic started
>>27584054
>Mate you're retarded if you think modern computer aided analysis
You're retarded if you think technology makes you smarter.
>>27584057
>Intelligent people have been running the society since the dawn of time
For much of history. The easier living gets, the more stupid people get to the top. And it's not just intelligence that is selected for in leadership, but sociopathy. And more all the time it's sociopathy much more than intelligence. Also, intelligence is slipping species-wide so the "most intelligent" today are fucking retards compared to 15,000 years ago. They just have thousands of years of technological progress to lean on and say "This makes me smarter" when the opposite is the case.
>history proves that humans cannot be nearly intelligent enough to ensure a everlasting society.
Wrong again, jackass. Most of the causes of historical collapse were both preventable and unforgivable. There is no excuse for people to be blatantly stupid and barbaric except that nobody stops them in time from doing so. Hell, you idiots are all being told now that your rampant consumption of drugs and porn are destroying society and how many of you are listening? Basically none. And the only ones that do are only doing it because you think it will get you more pussy. Most of mankind is cancer, and until that's had an end put to it, this bullshit cycle will continue until self-caused human extinction.
>>27584122
Yes because OMG Nazis. You're a retard.
>reducing genetic variation is simply a retarded proposal.
Yeah, this is much better. Let's see, destroy our genepool with inferior genes for literally millennia, rip up the natural world, then implode human culture too. What could go wrong. I'm done arguing with idiots shit that should be obvious to a fucking two year old.
Stop wrecking shit or face the consequences, dumbshits.
>>27581431
kids these days aren't getting their asses beat enough
>>27583921
Sure, if those are the metrics you use to measure an objectiuve idea of "better".
But if those are the things you think really matter in the average human life you're barking up the wrong tree.
In fact, it's not a tree at all but a busted street light.
>>27584196
Sure they are, just by other children.
Adults have no power to stop kids from hurting each other nowadays, because when you encounter one kid kicking another savagely in the head you're not allowed to rag the little shitheel around by the throat to make sure he never does it again.
Stern talkings to are just another kicking for the victim down the line.
>>27584179
>The easier living gets, the more stupid people get to the top.
yes, because people sure don't focus on higher pursuits like intellectual development when they don't have to worry about getting mauled by Simba en route to the nearest well 4 km away right?
humans have never been as smart as present, if you ever read a book about people's relation i.e. politics, you will see it makes power play of the past like child's play
>>27584197
people have much more freedom pursuing happiness than before as well especially you don't have to worry about starving to death or dying to pneumonia after getting themselves wet on a cold day (for most part)
you can go to some undeveloped countries to experience the days of the yore and see if you like it, you don't have to deal with shitposters like us that's for sure
>>27584254
if you want to beat up a kid you can just join the military
>>27581431
Is this what happens as people get older? They just delete anything about the past that makes their generation look like shit?
>>27584388
Do they?
My ideal of the "pursuit of happiness" is completely the opposite.
I am not pleased by having less freedom and more restriction in the name of safety.
I am not pleased with democracy, as I don't have any faith in the citizen body of any state to vote sensibly.
Don't presume that because you're happy everybody else is.
Oh, and the clincher is, the West isn't the whole world.
Everywhere else, personal freedom has been drastically reduced in order to feed our "personal freedom" to buy endless crap and work shitty office jobs.
Your ideal is a mouldering sack of dog muck.
1970s wishlist - vietnam war, rhodesian bush war
1980s wishlist - soviet-afghan war, iran-iraq war
1990s wishlist - yugoslav wars, karabakh war, 1st chechen war
2000s wishlist - 2nd chechen war
2010s wishlist - syrian civil war, ukraine civil war
>>27584388
The pursuit of happiness is much more formulaic than it used to be.
Now, people are constantly bombarded with advertisements and having the quality of their lives measured against friends' (You) baiting on Facebook and Instagram. Contentment is always just out of reach because people don't know how to be happy with what they have anymore.
Consumerism has replaced idealism. Mass producing new technology every 5 seconds and replacing it just as fast; you want whatever advertisers tell you you want.
Some people have managed to avoid it but a lot haven't.
>>27581431
