what was western society like before the internet?

fuckin awesome.

In a happy daze. We won the cold war, there was no great ideological fight anymore, the economy was booming like never before, liberty and freedom seemed to sweep the world... We thought we had won, that it was game over (in a good sense). It was truly the zenith of our civilization. We were so delusional that Fukuyama could publish "the end of history" and actually be taken serious.

Of course, we now know that it was just the silence before the storm.

Carefree. LIfe was easy. No TSA at the airports so getting on the plane didn't take as long. Family could wave and say goodbye before you got on the plane.

bout like pic. more driving

b...bu...but muh 9/11 sorry to disapoint you americans no one outside USA cared to give a fuck about 9/11 it didn't had any impact of rest of west except for USA.
ihb4 shut up irrelevant shithole
We helped you in Iraq after 9/11 and lost soldiers there so stfu

Everything I needed to know about islam, I learned on 9/11.

9/11 was innocence lost for a generation. Why do you think he ran?

There was still a feeling of hope back then. It wasn't as degenerate, at least out in the open. No one ever thought about muslims or trannies. No one would have believed you if you told them white people would be genocided in their own countries.

Is that guy carrying a fish?

I thought he was throwing a basketball or dangling off a cliffside but now I'm not so sure.

Dont know about the culture, but bungee jumpings in 9/11 were awesome.

This is the biggest mind fuck

How did Muslim immigration increase after 9/11?

Most of us never saw a burka or hijab or whatever before and then BLAM they are everywhere

And nobody would care if you got invaded and annexed by Russia.

NATO or not, Americans are not going to war for Latvia, a country that doesn't meet its 2% obligations too.

More lighthearted. People had a sense of humor and typically liked each other. Hell, even NY and California were okay back then.

People didn't lose their jobs because they pissed off some bulldyke on the other side of the country and their 5,000 followers.

Yes you are. If NATO shows that it will not defend the Baltics, then you can count on Poland and all the others to bail on it, presumably with all of the EU behind them.

Not that I disagree with it, the EU would be much better off if we took our defense into our own hands. Which is why the USA will keep propping up NATO, you want us to be dependent on you.

Every fucking shitlib suddenly had to prove they, "weren't like the rest," and bend over backwards to accommodate Muslims. CAIR was formed, Obama got elected and the rest is history.

A little more A E S T H E T I C

live about an hour from the wtc. was around 13/14 at the time

life was nice

>NATO or not, Americans are not going to war for Latvia
oh yeah but when you need help in Iraq and we lose our soldiers it's fine right?
> a country that doesn't meet its 2% obligations too.
Yes i agree our goverment is fucking retarded and i fully agreed with Trump on this, we need to get those 2%

I miss it so

No one gives a fuck about you then or now. My state exports 5 times as much as your whole country, stupid slav nigger.

I remember when you could get a real ID with fake information and SSN.

only cucks use that as an excuse. "b-b-b-but we helped and had loses". shut the fuck up pussy

>Latvians
>Slavs

>What did it smell like?

It was just like this.

youtube.com/watch?v=DL7-CKirWZE

Air Jordan dunking a wart

it had it's ups and downs
without the internet I wouldn't know just how badly this country tries to indoctrinate it's children against whites

>only cucks use that as an excuse. "b-b-b-but we helped and had loses".
y...y.....ye...YEAh it's nothing that we lost lives of young Latvian men in some midle eastern shitskin country far away from our homeland that most of us have never heard of before becouse oh boy oh boy some 2000 people where killed in United states a country that isn't of our own, but did help becouse it was our obligation and honor to do so.
But americans don't need to do the same right?

oh yeah and by the way mr 52% ethnic Latvians in United states are making more money per capita then any other group except for Austrians so i am not sure who can call who a nigger.

yawn. you sound absolutely retarded and dont have any critical thinking skills

Translation:I have no more arguments left so i will just call you a retard
T. Burger
By the way you should make genetic test to determine your heretage who knows mybie you have some Baltic blood.

Lol obama (or hillary)vs mccain. Talk about a fucking garbage hand.

Every sitcom was set in New York.

This.

There are two blockbusters in my city.

You could just board a plane.

Well, I used to be able to walk across the local Air Force runway to get to the park...

It sounds so bizarre to say it now. The air base had nothing to stop locals from simply walking out onto the runway.

But, if I could time travel back and tell myself of the security walls before 9/11, my earlier self would simply say "But why? We're not in a war zone"

you are honourable nordics, kind baltbro.

it was slowly deteriorating

No, in the other hand.

Extremely trash and full of normies.

Have you ever watched an episode of Friends, Seinfeld or Cheers?

Basically it was like that and was boring as fuck.

Honorary American.

was pretty great my dude. Demographics weren't ruined, politicians maybe were actually representing the people, people were more open and trusting. Everything was polarized but not like it is today. I don't know, maybe society would have crumbled like it has / is without 9/11 but I think there's a chance 9/11 had a profound impact on our psyche. If it did you have to hand it to Osama, he fucking knew what he was doing. He knew he wasn't just killing a few thousand people and some nice real estate, he knew he was defeating the soul of the people. Perhaps he knew we were so weak that would destroy us, whereas for his culture it would only embolden it, but shit man...

>inb4 israel did it

you could also visit the pilots during flight

Idk I wasn't born yet

Fuck off, man. My school classes stopped to watch the happening in the school cafeteria. In 1-3 days, they didn't know who did it.

>Have you ever watched an episode of Friends, Seinfeld or Cheers?

I watched some Seinfeld episodes. It reminded me of city life some weeks ago.

It was controversial for a female character on a major tv show to have a child as a single mother

It was boring af, if you didn't had vidya or internet you were at the mercy of whatever garbage was on the Talmudvision.

notice anything different about the cast

back then they still tried to paint her like an upstanding woman - interesting

nowadays the shows just show single moms for what they are (degenerate sluts) and take pride in it

oh god I miss this. I used to go up into the cockpit and just chat the living shit out of the pilots, provided of course there weren't any kids that wanted to see "all the neat buttons", their wants came first.

You also used to cross the borders in north america with nothing more than your drivers license. They didn't really care about you for security reasons, they just wanted to log who came and went.

Pretty cucked, D.A.R.E, drugs are bad mmmk even though we did them in the 60s mmmk. Blockbuster was kind of fun on a Friday night, just to look at videos and pick them out for the weekend. Everybody was brainwashed, but nobody was the wiser. Still hated diversity then though, even more now.

I'm still blown away at how quickly things changed. We went from "Ellen coming out" to 8 year old twerking trannies in twenty years.

These changes happen so quickly, if you just are out of the loop for ~5 years or such, you already feel pretty alienated.

Comfy

"universal" internet access over the last decade has really blown the lid off everything though.

the 90s was the calm before the shit storm that we have today - no SJW shit, no jihadists, Cold War was over, people were more friendly, no big brother 1984 surveillance, etc.

A-N-A-L-O-G-U-E

It was definitely different. I felt really positive after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. No real wars, it seemed like you could start a business pretty easy. Arabs and Muslims weren't a big deal. The internet was just getting started. I was oblivious to the JQ.

Watch Donnie Darko

all i know is liberals are going to overstep soon, and just like my forefathers, i'll be afforded the opportunity to cull hundreds of them. civil war 2 or world war 3, sign me up for both.

see, there WAS sjw shit in the late 80's and 90's. this is from 1993 - > youtu.be/1DI6rOj8IPs

9/11 shut EVERYONE up for awhile. The (((New York Media Elite))) actually got hit where they lived. It took 8 years of Bush, Obama and smartphones to really rile everyone back up again. But we've passed the 90's at this point. We're in the 60's and possibly worse.

>He doesn't realize israel did it
Get a load of this bluepilled retard

napster and aol server chats

(((Osama)))

Canadian shitlibs said "we'll show those terrorists by importing a million more of them". Our Muslim population doubled 10 years after 9/11 and it doubles now every 10 years.

in one word OP: fun

after 9/11 it become more and more neurotic until we ended up with the situation we have today where everyone is offended by everything and everyone is a snowflake that's about to melt in the heat

>the 1990's part 2
You had all the grunge guys virtue signalling how cool they were with "women and gays" at every turn. Eddie Vedder scribbles PRO CHOICE on his arm during the MTV Unplugged performance. Kurt Cobain is notably vocal about this kind of thing. We just came off of a decade of We Are the World and other globalist feel-good pop orgies. Stuff like 10,000 Maniacs with their lyrics straight out of the contents of a college sophomore's backpack about child abuse and poverty and loving everybody.

"Earth Day" is all of a sudden a thing and you better god damn believe that Nickelodeon, the only real kids cable network with any market penetration at the time, took full weeks out of their schedule to promote it. Everyone knows about Captain Planet so I don't need to go in to that. Also don't forget about shit like Terminator 2 with its anti-nuclear and feminist/matriarchal overtones was marketed heavily to children.

I don't remember, but it seemed better.
>No Patriot Act
>Not Mass Muslim Immigration
>100% Unrestricted Internet
>Better less decadent culture

born 1982

I remember writing letters. I remember when consumer Internet was a new concept. I remember when the bits of your gaming console was super important. I remember two player games. I remember if you wanted to see porn you'd better have a friend with an older brother who'd have a stash or pray the scrambled video feed from Playboy unscrambled. I remember the economygoing down hard in '88 and not knowing or caring what that meant. I remember that was the year crack first showed up and things turned to shit real fast where we lived in NY. I remember Madonna being young and beautiful, and Kurt blowing his brains out.

Good times in all.

You sound like an ignorant faggot. I served with NATO in Afghanistan and they were all cool as fuck. Making the best of the shit.

You are clearly a pathetic basement dweller.
Thanks based Latvia bro, and I salute your fallen.

Peaceful and happy.

...

Imagine boarding planes like you would board a bus.

Also, the thought of government spying on you was laughable because that would be un-Constitutional. You were a loon if you thought that.

Oh, and dial-up sucked.

While 9/11 was a large cultural shift, I would say the intrusion of social-media/internet in our lives has been a more society-changing event.

Little did we know what kind of scheming was going on in the synagogues. All this NWO bullshit.

Optimistic, lighthearted, fun.
It felt like we were on the cusp of something.
I was 13 when 9/11 happened.
I remember the 00s just being very grey compared to the 90s. Much more reserved.

Culture still revolved around white people.
Music was better. Anime was still good.

I can't believe this decade now is all about demonising white men.

You could tell edgey jokes and have fun with things.
On wear what you awnt to school days I would wear t-shirts like "fuck Iraq, bomb France" or wanted dead or alive bin laden t-shirts, and no one would bat an eye-lid. Most kids thought it was really funny.

No one knew what the fuck a muslim was.
From the descriptions in Religious Education, they sounded like even more hardcore, mentally ill orthodox jews.

amazing. there were like 0 geopolitical worries.

Saddam Hussein was still acting like a huffy bitch, but not really doing anything that affected anybody outside Iraq.

Ghaddafi was just being his usual, delusional self

Russia was kind of fucked, Boris Yeltsin was a good advocate for Russia under the USSR, but sort of a shitty president

the biggest worries were HIV, which was and still is a fag disease, drugs, and gangs.

President Bill Clinton said there were too many illegal immigrants and they got to get the fuck out and Democrats cheered him for it. That was the mentality before 9/11 and it will be missed.

Dial up was fucking amazing. It only sucked once better shit came out.

...

I remember my mom telling me about the concept of online multiplayer when I was like 9 and playing on my Genesis.

"someday you could be playing with Cody from here, without having to go over to his house!"

>more 80's/90's
>I remember Madonna being young and beautiful
Don't underestimate the influence of that woman. Madonna is ground-zero for a lot of the degeneracy allowed in "teen and young adult entertainment" today.
>smart phones are bigger than 9/11
Ok, think harder about this, but you're not entirely wrong. The fact that you compare the two is telling. 9/11 literally "linked" most Americans when it happened. It was a media explosion that, now that I think about it, has overwritten pretty much every thing that came before it. The OJ chase was huge. M.A.S.H. and Seinfeld ending were huge. The gulf War was a hit. But 9/11? LIVE FOOTAGE of New York exploding? Complete and utter confusion and bewilderment by pretty much every person of official capacity? That was life changing. Culture defining.

Can anyone explain the story of the split between I1 and I2 and how they ended up so far apart?

I can't believe nobody has posted this yet:
youtube.com/watch?v=RYbe-35_BaA

I still stand by what I posted.

does the fact that russia clearly fucked them in two not tell you anything?

>no SJW shit
lol? the 90s was full of SJW

See I don't get it? We went from cold war straight in the gulf war
So it's not like we were without conflict
I guess because it wasn't as serious of a threat?
Idk I wasn't alive back then
Born 1996

>no SJW

yeah, nah

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCU_(film)

granted, they had like zero influence back then

I was just about to post this. Here's this the follow up video those guys did. It's kinda depressing. youtube.com/watch?v=W8n11y2lxrE

18 years, one month and one day old on 9/11.
Pre-9/11, things were better. Just so much better. But at that point, the poisonous fruits were already planted.. At least we are in 2017 and not 2012. That's what I'm grateful for now.

Believe me bros we are living in the best time to be alive in decades.
We are all now aware of the propaganda and narrative aimed against the Western world
Even just a few years ago people were oblivious to the mind control, let alone the peak of when they were getting away with the diversity (white genocide) the 90s. And everyone was just going along with it
It might seem way shittier now, but that's just because we are now aware of what is going on, we are now able to see the world for what it really is. And while it might be shit, at least we now in a position to defend ourselves, we have not been aware of the attack until now

It implies some. I want details though.
>Russia
That split likely happened before the concept of the Rus ever existed, who were coincidentally founded by I1 Scandinavians through the Rurik/Rurikovich dynasty

Do you live in Alaska? I heard they still have 10 or so.

what's wrong with 2012? can't really remember it.
2007 was the best though.
