Because everyone is dead inside and normies try to fill it with laughs and happiness, not red and black pills
Christian Gonzalez
It is their eternal quest to stave of the nihilism that chases them. Their endless hedonism is the only wall between them and boundless despair. They have nothing to live for. youtube.com/watch?v=_Z0n4FhNrRo

>Why do normies want to turn everything into entertainment and party? Because normaltards are the pond scum of the rotten standing water pool that is modern dat civilization. You will never see these type of faggots existing when times are hard, we need a war on american soil or an ayylmao invasion or a fucking australia sized meteor to crash down. All I know SOMETHING has to come and put an end to the cancer that is neurotypicity.
Owen Sanders
The signifier has become detached from the signified. I call it the Daily Show effect.
People no longer laugh because of a reason. They laugh to make people--even themselves--think they have a reason.
It's the ultimate brainwashing tool. If you're told to laugh on cue--along with a studio audience, ideally--you'll retroactively think there was a reason for it. The posited reason is usually that conservatives are stupid.
Same thing with social media. You don't smile because you're happy. You smile to make others think you're happy.
How many layers of simulacra are we even on my dude
Ethan Brooks
Because they're uncomfortable af. It's easier to laugh and party like an ignorant asshole than talk about everything in the world that scares the shit out of you. They all want to die, they all feel less useful the anyone that regulars these forums. Laughing and making everything entertainment is the same as getting lost in an introverted activity (gaming, reading), they're all just distractions. Bread and circuses.
Tyler Robinson
List for pleasure and happiness instead of peace and tranquillity. Why so many normie use drugs and alcohol.
Caleb Young
yes, it's like people don't want to communicate with each other, but only aesthetical and emotional stimulus is what makes people still cooperate, but this is only a sign of a coming fall of civilization. People don't name things anymore, this is an emotional ping pong, suddenly reacting to any stimulus that appears, like animals
Gabriel Clark
Insecure or full autists
Ryan Perry
>How many layers of simulacra are we even on my dude TWO MANY.
William Williams
Mass media has convinced them if they are not happy/laughing 100% of the time then they are in fact "depressed" and something is wrong with them.
A strong mind does not need constant stimuli to be content, where as a normie mind does.

Because what seperate normies from you... well, from us, is that they're still capable of being happy and that... we have become too jaded for it.
Jaxson Peterson
They're drunk
Evan Perez
Exactly this, normies breathe aswell you know, you gonna stop doing that one day.
Life is fuckin short, the world is shite, we're not going to get out alive, meanwhile you're posting on a Columbian cockroach racing board
Angel Bell
In a lot of my interactions with normies, I maintained a calm yet sober composure, without exaggerating my emotions. Threw in a couple moments of silence here and there. It completely messes up their mental state, as soon as they stop acting like hyperactive chimps who live for entertainment, the voice at the back of their heads starts to kick in telling them their lives are hollow and pointless.
Most of them have not had a chance to mature emotionally, so the standard reaction from these people, after a brief period of confusion, is anger which will no doubt be directed at you, when, in fact, you are just pointing out the problem.
Jack Campbell
This. It’s a Coping mechanism. People as a whole are sheep. They only care what keeps them alive, and what keeps them alive is feel good gimmicks that keep them happy for a while till they get their next fix of endorphins. Espacism at its finest.
>s-smile user, it's what a well adjusted member of society must do.
Cameron Watson
They are miserable, narcissistic fucks who project what they want you to believe about them.

lulz in private by yourself are not the same as communal lulz you fucking concubine
Brayden Kelly
they try to make everybody believe that they are happy It is the same when you go to a party >boring as hell >everybody talking about going home or watching a movie next day, facebook full of pictures of everyone having a blast in the party, and giving shouts to the host
another good example is going to a club because you want to see a live performance of a DJ it is always a prerecorded crap that lasts for literally 40 minutes you can't even tell if the guy pressing play is even the DJ next day: >amazing performance from DJ YOLOswagboi >the club will remember yesterday's night as legendary ... hype culture
Alexander Sullivan

then why are normies so often into alcohol, drugs, sex and why are they also kinda angry?
Dominic Nelson

Dylan Ortiz
dude, this is spot on
Alexander Thompson
They are happy, they don't know any better. It was me in college drinking and fucking sluts every weekend or so. it gets tiresome after a couple years. Then the real world hits and some pretend like it doesn't exist and get a wagecuck job and others attempt to conquer it.
Julian Russell
a) they are obsessed with what people think of them
b) they have the minds of children and think only of immediate satisfaction and comfort
David Morris
This guy should be the Harold of /biz/. If I could just meme him into power.
Liam Rogers
Intense use, rather than occasional recreational use, of alcohol and drugs is something that I associate more with people who aren't exactly normies. I myself don't drink but most really have drinkers I know are people who've seen some shit.
Sex... well, because they get to have it.
Oliver Hill
The time will come when you fucks will not laugh no more
Cooper Nguyen

This entire process is repeated for 30 minutes to an hour per show, and they're shown either weekly or daily. The intent is the person viewing this shit is programmed to think that disagreeing with their idols' views on an issue is so stupid that it deserves ridicule. The problem is it touches something more foundational in peoples' thought process, which results in laughter as the reaction to nearly everything. When you pair that to how these people are constantly bombarded with suggestions to be as hedonistic and self-serving as possible, they begin to only think about themselves and felling good all the time. They're stunted as human beings.
Dominic Rodriguez
>Increasingly, many individuals in this society do not have an overall or an individual meaning. That’s why they live moment-to-moment and day-to-day in relation to contingency and consumption. The point of great civilization as expressed in great art, is to raise people out of that particular trough and get them — if only momentarily — looking upwards, looking upwards towards the sky.Looking upwards towards higher forms.Looking upwards towards the prospect of archetypal forms.Looking upwards towards the religions of the past, the present, and the future.Looking upwards towards God or the gods, or the idea that they might be there, or the idea that it might be necessary that they’re there, even if you don’t think that they are.That’s the point of great civilization.That’s the point of great work.That’s the point of great art.
>But the doctrine of transcendence is a religious doctrine, essentially.Or is a psycho-social, psycho-emotional, and linguistic pattern which portends to religious belief whether one has any religious belief or not.It means that one believes there are things above the things that face you, and there are things above that, and there are things above those things.Or at least there’s the possibility that such might be the case.
>So you’re looking upwards, rather than looking downwards.This is why people go to tragedy and feel exhilarated afterwards, rather than feeling depressed, or out of sorts, or mildly mentally deranged by the depiction of cruelty.It’s because it occurs within the context of a spiritual revelation which is transcendent.But the whole purpose of this sort of culture which we live in today, as Evola and other thinkers have put it, is not to have transcendence at all.It’s to keep man at a certain level.Ultimately, a level of consumption.The expulsion of energy, the repletion of energy, the consumption of goods, the depletion of the consumption of those goods, the need to consume even more of such goods.

Alright i got it, but whats the alternative? You guys dont have answers to the fundamental questions of life !?
Nathan Morales
when does this idiocy start? I remember very well such behaviour from at least secondary school and high school for sure. Already then you had all those "funny" people constantly making stupid faces, being hyperactive, taking photos obsessively, laughing loud at everything, trying to show one another who was better at partying
Julian Miller
Newsflash, not being a paranoid schizophrenic virgin faggot who has a bleak outlook on everything often results in being a happy person
You are a faggot of the highest order OP
Ian Reyes
Is that some sort of cocksucker?
Andrew Rivera
I'm not saying normies are alcoholics, but being drinking throughout the week isn't anything alien to them, they drink frequently. Then they are also impulsive and angry, when put in proper context. Petty and malicious
Nathaniel Brooks

And on the subject of the pictures people take of themselves: (there's a Bowden quote for everything)
>Alex Kurtagić is a friend of mine who’s known to certain people in this room, and he wrote a very interesting article a couple of years ago about the decline of the modern face. The decline of the modern face. It was an article in physiognomy, which is quite a technique of analysis in the 19th century. Have you noticed that most people when they’re photographed today wish to look as nice as possible, as reflexive as possible, as open-hearted as possible? They’re pleading to be liked. Whereas he dug up all of these photographs of missionaries from the late 19th century and Shakers from New England—remember that cult called the Shakers?—they used to have these ecstatic dances, they all died out because they were frightened of sexual intercourse—which of course will occur, because if you’re frightened of the one you will certainly meet the other. But the face of these Shakers was furious. Even just to pose nicely for the camera they would look like this. They would look with a demonic intensity and ferocity and sense of themselves and sense of courageous purpose and that sort of thing.
>Today you’re regarded as mentally ill if you look like that for your own portrait, aren’t you? And yet what they were doing is they were putting on a face. They were putting on the way in which they wish to be perceived by the world. It was like sitting for portrait, sitting for an oil portrait. You didn’t show your weakest or your most reflexive or your most kind-hearted side; that, if it existed, was for private use. This was a public face. And in the decline of the West’s public face you can see writ large the decline in the spirit of ourselves which has occurred over the past last century, and which has accelerated over the last century.
Eli King
>you aren't really happy coz I said so Cope some more faggot
There's nothing animalistic about enjoying life, you are just an autistic incel who can't attain social status and happiness so you default back to whining about "normies" with other like minded people like the r9k virgins

>A very large part of the British people today consists of lazy, mindless, scruffy and indolent slobs, lacking even the elementary personal pride that is the basis of pride in nation and race. They chuck litter about our streets with the same abandon as they get drunk in foreign tourist resorts, bringing disgrace upon their country as much as they annoy the local citizens and police. Young football mobsters are the worst of these species and, although they may be deemed a small minority of the population, are nevertheless a minority not equalled anywhere abroad.
>Another large part consists of those who are sober, respectable folk, who behave properly in private and in public, who do an honest day’s work, who look prim and smart and who observe the law but who are total sheep when it comes to political awareness, let alone political action, and who have cultivated the faculty of isolating themselves behind their double-glazed windows and privet hedges into a little private world of their own in which they are responsible only for family, home and job and can ignore the filth, squalor and bankruptcy of the country around them.
>Will a nation today compounded mainly of these two elements “wake up” and take its destiny into its own hands, turning on its misgovernors and recovering its will to greatness? Not a chance!

Jeremiah Diaz
because, believe it or not, some people are actually happy.
Andrew Brown
Because smiling and making an effort to enjoy your life is always better then self loathing. We're not delusional for wanting happiness, you're fucking delusional for despising other people because they are happy. How do you have time in your life to put energy into such trivial bullshit? Get a fucking grip!
Lucas Stewart

If you want to find out someones intelligence figure out what they laugh at.

This is ultimately what it is about: bread and circuses. That's why after the Manchester bombing they put on a feel-good music concert because the people were getting genuinely mad and calling for using our off-land territories as our own Gitmo for terrorists.
Can't have the goyim wake up, become angry and passionate, and demand changes!
Christian Reed
There's nothing wrong with laughing or joking about anything. It turns grave and sad situations into something funny that can be coped with. I don't see anything wrong with people trying to laugh and make light of any situation. Morbid humor is not uncommon nor should it be.
