Why were the 1980s so Savage and Primitive

I went on the Karate Kid video where Daniel gets beat up. All the comments are from guys who were teenagers in the 80s feeling nostaligic for the 80s when apparently someone was "getting their ass kicked" all the time. What about the 80s were like that and why? My grandfather said in the 1950s there was barely any bullying. My dad said in the 70s there wasn't really anything like that. Why were the 80s so savage like that? Apparently anyone who wasn't a tall chad was picked on according to some of these guys. What was wrong with America in the 80s?

The one time i was beat up my dad sued the living crap out of the bullies family and since they were poor they had no real legal defense and got some organization to give them a small amount of money for a lawyer. We won quite the money for what happened. I was told that in the 1980s there was absolutely nothing i could do if i was beat up. I would just have to put up with it everyday.

>gets beat up.. sues family of bully instead of telling you to be a man and kick his ass!
fucking family of cucks!

all the kids in the 80s were born to shitty boomer parents during and after the summer of "love"

You do realize the point of society right? It's so that we can live without being randomly assaulted/killed/robbed by anyone at anytime right?

And how am i suppose to kick someones ass who is a foot taller than me and buff?

That explains it.

Tetraethyl Lead

Explain more on this.

You stab a motherfucker. Tall chad bully can beat you up, but not if you have a knife.

It was the times. Hyper masculinity. The first round of American circumcision victims were coming of age - psychologically damaged young men in high schools and colleges all across America. Wall Street corruption was peaking - inequality peaking. Most major cities facing financial ruin and social decay. Steroid fuelled action movies were the biggest blockbusters of the decade.
Confused, angry masculinity.

Uncanny American ability to take something good and pervert it, Judaise it.

COBRA KAI.. NEVER DIES!

Sorry buddy I'm not a criminal and i never really planned on going to youth detention center

If im not wrong the 1950s were hyper masculine but it didn't really have a lot of this stuff.

dude don't stab people wtf

You sued the family of the bully? You fucking faggot, you and your castrated dad should never live that down. That is if this really happened.

I was a kid during the 80s. in 86 I was 11. It was the era of No political correctness at all. You fought in school and after school. With your fists.

>The one time i was beat up my dad sued the living crap out of the bullies family and since they were poor they had no real legal defense and got some organization to give them a small amount of money for a lawyer.

Cool made up story bro.

I don't understand what is so hard to believe. This happens a lot. My dad is a personal injury lawyer and some of the things people get cash for will make my story seem silly even though in my opinion it was 100% justified. I was assaulted, there were no criminal charges, so we sued. How is that not justified?

>Lead exposure affects the intelligence quotient (IQ) such that a blood lead level of 30 μg/dL is associated with a 6.9-point reduction of IQ, with most reduction (3.9 points) occurring below 10 μg/dL

>A statistically significant correlation has been found between the usage rate of leaded gasoline and violent crime: taking into account a 22-year time lag, the violent crime curve virtually tracks the lead exposure curve.[53][59] After the ban on TEL, blood lead levels in US children dramatically decreased

it's how america used to produce nerds. they'd scare us into staying inside so there was nothing to do except read and play video games and other nerd shit.

now that the system is changed, the quality of american nerds has gone to shit. look how china has overtaken us- sad.

Holy fuck he has to be larping

What a terrible time to grow up. Being assaulted for literally no reason in the 20th century in the most civilized country on earth.

Most people had to deal with a bully at some point. If you didn't handle your business, you didn't get respect. It wasn't so bad.

t. 80's kid.

This happens all the time although mostly it's criminal charges not civil. Don't you remember in highschool the cops were always talking to some kid in the office, that's because they called the cops. The only reason we sued instead of going to the police was my dad was a lawyer so he could just do it for free.

This makes sense actually

It's not an uncommon event at all. It's mostly the police that get called but my dad would work for free so why not?

>acting this stereo typically jewish right of the first post insuring responses

What are they sliding?

>being beat up for no reason and just expected to make the problem magically go away
I'm so glad the police actually get involved with this stuff now. What the hell were the police doing in the 80s if they weren't dealing with people who randomly assaulted other people?

I'm not Jewish at all and neither is my dad. You're thinking of bankers/accountants. Lawyers have always been considered a white job

Most civilized most armed most drunk and the fattest plus nukes and trillion dollar budget. A never that never existed until we the US said it did suck it stay maf

>t. 80 iq
the problem was, the kid was always bigger than you. and not by a small amount, we'd be talking like 4-5 inches in height and 25% in body weight.

there's no winning that fight. only 'tards believed shit like the karate kid or whatever. it was pure hollywood bs. if you fought back you'd just end up in the ER

That’s back when soy boys got put in their place.

Based Johnny

No, it was good for me. It manned me the fuck up and helped me to stand up for myself.

>what a terrible time to grow up
Looking back, compared to today, it was fucking heaven. People didn't spend their days manufacturing things to be outraged about. It was a time of great energy (however cringey looking today) where the future seemed bright and limitless. Now we're all just waiting for the impending collapse we all feel deep down. For various reasons you could argue western civilization peaked in the 1980s

>someone isn't big and strong and therefor deserves to be assaulted
What the hell

You can't really stand up for yourself when the guy is like 4-5 inches taller.

you, your dad, and your grandfather are all fucking retards and hazing/bullying has always been a cultural rite of passage.

grew up in 80's , it's because this movie Karate Kid came out and everyone being the hollywood is real jew loving goys they were at the time, wanted to be bad asses like the chads in that movie.

uhh yes there is. you punch the cunt and he falls.
OP is a nigger

I'd rather laugh at a few SJWs manufacturing things to be mad about then be assaulted everytime i walk into the school.

no faggot, you don't get it. violence is inherent in humanity. however, nobody wants to get hurt - you, the asshole bothering you, bystanders, nobody. if you're willing to fight, the odds that you actually have to are dramatically reduced. show weakness, and you'll probably be assaulted, yes. your dad didn't do you a favor by suing, he should have taught you how to throw a fucking punch.

found the jew

that's precisely the reason the world is going to shit and this board exists.

you,

They did go through the private-school system so maybe it was differen't. But yes hazing happened but bullys never beat people up or at least that's what they said. You could walk into school without being beat up

>punch him
>he laughs in front of all his friends about how weak your punch was
>get punched back and fall to the ground
Or I could just tell my dad or the police and let them handle it for me.

underage b&

yeah, no you're a pussy and your dad is gonna die one day.

have fun

Friendly reminder that the "bad guys" in this movie did literally nothing wrong, and the "hero" broke the rules of the tournament and was not disqualified for it.

Dude, the bigger don't always win. I witnessed a bunch of fights where big guys get beat up.

youre mistaken

So the world is going to shit since I don't want to be randomly assaulted? That's been against the law since 1776

I'm short so that would never work anyway. Also the more you show you want to fight the more willing the bully will be to attack since he feels justified.

i guess separating boxers by weight class is just unnecessary then, right? a scrappy featherweight should be able to knock out a heavyweight if he's not a pussy?

bad parents

Funny, I'm 6'3 and 240 lbs and in decent shape, also not afraid of fighting and won most I've been in

My mother raised me to be a pacifist, she was very liberal for the 80's, and I got my ass kicked in elementary school DESPITE being bigger than everyone else... because I was taught to turn the other cheek.

Of course as an adult I resent that I didn't just Chad out in my early teens rather than in my early 20's, but at the same time there has to be something said for late bloomers. If I had Chadded out in my early teens, maybe I would have ended up in a vastly different career path, lifestyle, and ultimately, would have been less happy.

Now I'm 39, confident, experienced in life, have a loving girlfriend, whom I have a white child with blonde hair and blue eyes with and a great family.

The timing for events in life is very important, I'm sure our ancestors knew this better than we do now, and growing up too fast or too slow will fuck people up. I feel like I grew up slightly too slow and then extremely fast in my late teens due to hanging out with drug dealers and Chads 10 years older than me when I hit about 16-17.

Anyways, can confirm, much bullying in the 80's but in my case it was the little shits beating on the passive tall dudes.

Plus there was a difference as far as muscle mass in the karate kid, but I don't think the height difference was that substantial. They were overall not that different in size. Irl, the size difference is usually much larger, and the kid getting picked on isn't handsome and witty either.

Fuck you, the 80's are the pinnacle of humanity in absolutely everything.

Best music, cars, lifestyle, aesthetic, videogames, movies, tv shows, literature, women, sex, drugs and politics.

The left assaults Trump supporters all the time. But they need a group of 10 to gang up on the elderly.

Not true. I fought back, I got beaten (I would anyway) but I gained respect and was not bullied any more.

And I'll inherit 20% of a small-cap personal injury law firm. I'll have an army of lawyers. And if you don't know small-cap just means all the outstanding shares is under 250 million dollars. It's a fairly large company.

I'm short and I beat taller cunts routinely.
I was bullied and the bully. You evolve by showing teeth

Today is full of pussies. No wonder people are cutting their genitals off and wearing dresses. You millennials are all worthless faggots.

excuses detected. man up.

I'm 5'10, the dude was like a 6'6 basketball player.

>randomly assault
>nothing wrong

I was raised to be a pasficist too. Nothing to do with it. I know i would lose anyway.

this. this is the entire goddamn point. OP is a faggot.

I was a teen in the 90s and bullying happened all the time.

The harshest I’ve seen was when they ripped off the towel from some retard in class. He was running around naked and everyone was laughing at his small dick. Another time, during the showers he was naked in the corner and everyone was spitting warm water him. He was shivering, because it was cold as fuck in there. It was fucking hilarious. Man that was so much fun bully that faggot.

>randomly

people don't 'randomly' get assaulted in school bud

Cars were terrible. Videogames were boring, women were ugly, sex is degenerate, drugs are degenerate, politics was neo-con garbage, the aesthetics paled in comparison to the 50s, and the music was pretty good actually.

>Be OP
>Be a weak faggot cuck
>Get bullied and beat up
>instead of standing up for yourself and fighting back, you hide behind daddy and his Jewish lawyers
You genuinely deserve to get your ass kicked on a daily basis.

this song explains it
youtube.com/watch?v=UOg_8hCC4u4

Thats when you punch his jewels so he can no longer have offspring. Theres no such thing as rules in fighting.

Kids weren't nearly as big of pussies back then, but neither were they socially awkward autists. There was, at some level, a code of ethics. Kids were more mature. More free.

>And how am i suppose to kick someones ass who is a foot taller than me and buff?
By lifting and learning how to fight, you weak ass pussy.

You're fucking stupid.

not an american though... i feel like 80s bullying was a distinctly american thing

i mean, i'm tall as shit now, but my first bully was about 3 years older than me and like a foot taller

Fuckin' soft poofta cunt

I respectfully disagree.

The 80's were the best.

American culture didn't start becoming pussified until the 90's, when (((political correctness))) infested everything, then weakness became a virtue and something championed. Back in the 80's men were still men, boys were still boys.

>WE DO NOT TRAIN TO BE MERCIFUL, IN THE STREETS, AND IN COMPETITION, THE ENEMY CONFRONTS YOU HE DESERVES NO MERCY
>"THE ENEMY"
>ENEMY

He specifically said "the enemy". Not anyone you feel like beating up just cuz.

Sorry savage. Calling someone a pussy doesn't hold up in front of a judge in a courtroom

Shut up

Why were you showering in school?

Yeah they do that's what bullying is.

>a fucking leaf
>can't into reading

color me surprised

hey, Daniel stole Johnny's girl, he's the fucking enemy.

>mk1 mr2
>dragon warrior 4

You must have not lived in the 80s unless you're really young

Karate, dumbass. Didn't you see this movie?

In defense of the 80s: everyone walks away from a fistfight. It was the final breath of a more reasonable culture where being a man's man meant handling disputes with your fists instead of clinging to a gun like a surrogate dick.

Bullying happened all the time in the 90s. They didn’t start the anti-bullying campaign till the 00s.

Everyone bullied back then even chicks bullied each other and soy boys of the time.

I dunno what it’s like nowadays.

I was in high school and fought with machine guns and a cattle prod.

Why? Why would I fight back and get beat up when we could sue knowing we'd win?

He's taller and stronger than me dingus. I'd rather just call the chad police officer to drag him to court where my dad could make a few arguments and get some cash from the family

Calling someone a pussy doesn't hold up in front of a judge buddy

Explain your reasoning

Beating random people up was never considered manly idiot. In any respectable time men like that were tossed in prisons, in the 1800s kids who caused trouble were thrown out of school into the sweatshops.

>He specifically said "the enemy". Not anyone you feel like beating up just cuz.
I would consider people who bully and harass me to be enemies.

Total pussies like yourself wouldn't have been beaten up. You just wouldn't get much respect. If some dick started kicking your ass, people would've stepped in, because you're like a girl.

sick quads

bullies don't pick by lot you silly cuck

They already broke up.

I never lived in the 80s. I like some 80s videogames they are fun but don't compare to the games we have today.

That's just a movie. Knowing how to dance and scream can't magically allow you to take on someone a foot taller than you.

Everything your bitching about is
literally the antithesis of masculinity
you pathetic weakling. This isn't something
to celebrate. I got my ass kicked all the
time growing up, because I fought all
the time. I couldn't stand the idea of backing
down from people just because I might get hurt.
So I lost, and lost, and lost, and eventually
I started winning, and winning, and winning.
Because I'm not a weak little bitch. God damned just fucking kys. The rest of the world
joins me in laughing at you.

We all showered after swimming. Do you guys not shower in school anymore? Haha

yeah, I went to high school in the 90's, there was still bullying, but you could see the seeds being planted for what happened in the 00's.

Might is Right you fucking low test cuck

One of the guys in the Cobra Kai was actually named "Chad" .

Except Daniel never did that, most bully victims don't. They just get beat up for no reason

You're like a girl. Fighting because your mad instead of using logic to think "hey if i got my dad to sue, i could actually handle this way better". Also people didn't step in because i was on my way home from school and the bully and his friends grabbed me and pulled me into the ravine where no one could see.

They picked on me since my dad was rich and I wouldn't give them lunch money.

Most fights that happened were consensual, and the whole thing was fairly civilized. If someone got bullied, it was usually because they had a mouth. But sometimes it was just because they were just retards. In the latter case though, people would usually make sure it didn't go too far. People had balls enough to insert themselves and stop a real injustice.

>the personal experience of my family means everywhere and everything was exactly as they said they experienced

nerd-quality answer

Oh, no? I suppose you're going to tell me a barefoot cop can't run through sole-shredding glass and then nearly kick a skyscraper window in FROM THE OUTSIDE.
Dumbass. Movies tell the truth.
