Why did People Care about Stuff before the Internet?

Politics, History, Economics, etc. Why did it matter before the internet. Life is absolute shit without internet since Sup Forums is the only enjoyable thing. I don't understand how people even cared about history, politics, power, etc when they had no internet since no matter what they achieved their life would be boring.

?

I can assure you life was much better without internet. people actually socialized and went outside. faggots and trannys didn't have a way to reach the masses. nigger culture wouldn't have been so wide spread.

What's your question?

Dude I feel the same about TV like what even did people do before they could sit around and accomplish literally nothing for hours on end society sure benefited from all that doing nothing productive

Because people back then didn't have such a narcissistic view on life and weren't know it alls unlike today were you everything you need to know at your disposal. Point being is that times were so much simpler back then unlike today.

What do you mean socialize? Like did people talk about news? Because the only thing i talk about at school is internet memes. I can't imagine what i'd talk about before that. And yes im 18

I cared about writing tight assembly code before the internet. More fun in many ways, although alt.sex.stories was neat.

Oh yeah sure people not working 24/7 is totally terrible

Simple? You mean boring.

>stupid underage kekistanifag doesn’t know life without the internet
Sage

I'm 18 and im saying life before internet must have been hell.

Fuckin' life, man. What a snoozefest. brb, novelty required

Yeah, why build things or try to progress math or science when you could stare at flashing pixels with no personal developmental value and chock full of Mr. Goldstein's agenda for hours on end? You sure have it all figured out, sir.

It was pretty amazing. No internet meant more people were outside so you see more of them and meet them. It was easier to talk about news too, ironically.

No, it was better. And Before normies like you came onto the Internet, it was a great place to be.

They literally did not.

Before most people had a desktop at home around 2000 you could literally make up random trivia, like how the PS2 is already out in Japan or whatever, and normies would just take your word for it because they couldn't look it up themselves.

And before about 2010 when every normie started to get internet on their smartphone no one cared about politics, it was something only for people who made a hobby about it, but now everyone spends all day being inundated with articles about how white men are evil on their facebook stream and they either get onboard with it or reject it and end up in these two polarised as fuck camps.

Yeah sure before the internet everyone was a PHD Harvard scientist inventing flying cars n shieeeet

What do you mean socialize? Like talk to people? Where did you find people to talk to you just walk to the park?

And imagine now thinking that something like that qualifies as "amazing." Who are we?

You’re retarded. Kys

replace "Sup Forums" and "internet" with "meth" in your post and hopefully you'll find your answer.

Before the internet you would make your own memes with your friends, aka inside jokes

I'm not a normie!

Yeah man. Like people were more open to spontaneous conversations

What if you have no friends?

I'm sure of it.

That would be cool.

Then you unironically kys you dumb cockistani

Where are you on the spectrum? You seem ridden with autism.

You have a kekistan flag. You are a normie.

Show your real flag if you want to have a grown up conversation

>I'm 18 and im saying life before internet must have been hell.
same sentiment that thinks the 50's wheren't really that great. It was.

I have aspergers OCD and shieet

...

I have aspergers

They seem awful to me. What would i do? Im 18 and the only thing i do is internet what would i be doing in the 50s?

No you don’t. Go back to kikebook.

>Yeah sure before the internet everyone was a PHD Harvard scientist inventing flying cars n shieeeet
no, but there where getting work experience before graduating high school so they could hire into a full time job at 18.

...

I miss that time in the 90s socializing was an amazing procedure. You'd have to make war to ear arrangement, cellphones were too expensive and then when you met with people there were no distractions. I remember that feeling. It was like living life to its fullestz day by day was special... Damn social media really destroyed life :(

Capping commies at every available opportunity, obviously.

>What do you mean socialize?
instead of txting everyone, you'd hop on your bike and go visit them. Then the two of you would ride over to another friends house to get him, then you'd ride into town and visit the arcade, talk to girls and eat two scoops of ice cream. Now we just sit and txt from our dark basement.

Tell that to my psychiatrist

The reason we don't have jobs is due to reaganomics. I have had 3 jobs but after high-school i will be unemployed thanks to no jobs

>talk to girls
That sounds kind of degenerate actually. I don't think people would be marrying at 18 and unless your intent is to marry and reproduce it's sort of degenerate.

There spent all their time trying to survive.

Unlike the entitled faggots out here sucking off the government tit.

>What if you have no friends?
then you collected baseball cards or barbie dolls

Hear me out youngster. Do what I tell you or you will regret. Don't hurry up or be impatient on things. Make good friends not too many but a few you can count on. See the world, do all of this before your job life starts and mortgage kicks in. Better yet start a business now. A startup.

Sounds like hell

You know welfare existed since the 1930s right?

I would seriously give everything to go back to this. People wonder why depression rates are so high nowadays, but it's really quite obvious why.

>Im 18 and the only thing i do is internet what would i be doing in the 50s?
at 18 you where either in college (rare) or taking your girl to the drive in movie. People were adults at 18 then.. not treated like children until 30 like now.

I got my first internet connection at home only in 2004. I delayed that shit as much as I could. I don't regret living life without internet. It was amazing.

I'm not going to see the world. I'm redpilled on travelling and know it's degenerate however how do i start a business?

This is literally me except i don't smoke weed or watch porn. However I must ask why going to sleep late counts for depression?

Because we trusted the MSM. Walter Cronkite and his peers - not the stupid cucks we have today.

>taking your girl to the drive in movies
Sounds degenerate actually. I bet they made out and did other degenerate stuff. I thought people then waited until they were like 25, got married and had kids.

Also am i the only one who noticed

>drive
>18
How did they drive at 18? First obstacle is lisence and then you had to get a car but most people back then (family) had ONE car.

>The reason we don't have jobs is due to reaganomics
the reason most can't find jobs is because they insist on living in a area with 12 million others and only a few sq miles. Go where there are less people and its easier to find a decent job.

>Sounds like hell
would have been without friends, I guess that's why everyone had friends.
more internet = less friends

You sound like your parents failed your education and failed at teaching you how to be a fucking man

>the only thing i talk about at school
>kekistan flag
uhhh my god what has 4fags become

Other way around dude. Cities have more people so you got more people hiring. In towns they have no money to hire anyone.

How would i have friends without internet my aspergers would still exist

As true as that may be if you took your "Grill" to the movies at 18 you are a sex driven degenerate freak.

fuck off this thread, Sup Forums is not a your fucking blog.
or kill youself

Youre pathetic for your age. At your age I was positive as fuck. Did so many things and saw the world.

I don't blame you though. I blame your parents.

Poor sleep --> higher stress and less testosterone production --> depression

More or less. If this legitimately isn't a shitty LARP then I highly advise you to give up the internet for a while. You'll find yourself much happier if you do, even if you have convinced yourself that you are happy now.

Internet causes assburgers.

birth control was a thing and it didn't need to be provided by government. By 25 you often had 2nd kid and living in your own house.. almost nobody rented except for city people who couldn't buy a house.

Wow, I just suddenly remembered how awesome life was before the internet thanks OP

This makes me feel comfy inside

You’re fucking retarded

Yes, people takled politics in person among friends and others.
Internet made people to desocialize and behave asshole as fast as someone doesn't share their opinions.
IRL, it's simply about bearing the consequences of calling someone a faggot or idiot because he doesn't agree with you.
The culture of discussion got totally depleted when people went internet.

This is the most depressing thread I've read in a while. 18 year old kid literally cannot comprehend what life is.

>How did they drive at 18?
most of use drove at 14..with parent in car. at 16 you get license to drive alone. Everyone had a drivers license at 16. Very rare that someone didn't. ONE car is a meme too. Most families had 2 or 3. My family had 4.

Now Imagine life without the (((TV))).
Humanity has over-extended itself with it's technology and has long since been suffering from it.

ITT we meet the Based Gen Z who will save us all and definitely knows which bathroom to use.

well I'm rural and everyone has jobs.. all the bitching about can't find jobs comes from large cities.

>saw the world
Degenerate freak. Travelling is for middle age women looking to "find themselves"

>positive as fuck
LOL why? What's there to be positive about. I'm going to graduate high-school and probably live on welfare

I have nothing to do without the internet

I was diagnosed at like age 2. My mom is a doctor and noticed symptoms so they got me diagnosed by another doctor since you can't diagnose family members.

>at school
>kekistani flag
>only thing I talk about is Internet memes
>""""""""""""""""18"""""""""""""""""

I'm not talking about pregnancy, the act of sex or sexual attraction in general is degenerate.

My life is laughing at cucks, praising KEK, and worshipping Trump. Your life seemed to be boring 90s cartoons.

Perfect victim to (((them))).

What? I am 18 and will probably have my lisence by 19 since i have to study schoolwork while doing my second drivers ed course. Most people at school are the same.

>Now Imagine life without the (((TV))).
my summer vacations sucked.. only 3 channels to choose from, all showing fucking soap operas. That's why kids lived outside all summer long.

Pls blacklist this website and don't come here for a few years until you have your mind straight. Better, cut off internet.

>My life is laughing at cucks, praising KEK, and worshipping Trump.
Read that aloud back to yourself a few times and think about it.

Wow, you are basically keked by nature.

I'm actually based I don't believe in transgenderism and think bathroom transgender stuff is nonsense

I am 18

And do what? Sit around bored?

I don't see what's wrong with it. I also watch SJW videos, watch Milo, Richard Spencer, Ramzpaul videos etc.

It wasn't as handy but we used to communicate with words impressed on flattened wood pulp.

>"18" years old and doesn't know what to do with his life if he's not shitposting on Sup Forums

Jesus fuck, kid. Go make friends. Spend time with them. Meet a girl and get your dick sucked. Fucking get a job, start a garage band, pick up a hobby. If you're going to stick around, do yourself a favor and lurk moar before you post again.

Er isn't Opfer

He is from /ptg/
Have you seen what they look like? They look like our high-school nerds, just 20x times worse.

It may seem like you have nothing to do without internet, but that's actually fine. I know it seems really difficult at first but you need to go out, anywhere, you don't even have to know where you're going but just start walking/driving/whatever, and find somewhere that looks interesting to you. It could be a park, a store, beach, or anything really and it could pique your interest for ANY reason. Once you're there, try talking to someone there about something. To make it easier on you, keep it related to wherever you are to start. I.e. if you're at a book store, ask someone friendly looking if they've read a book by a particular author you see on a book cover. If they have, great, if not, ask what kind of books they like.

I know this seems retarded but it's a lot more fulfilling than it sounds. Please, try it. Absolute worst case, you miss a day's worth of shitty slide threads on this board. Best case, you find you are actually happy for once in your life.

But go outside, meet people, talk to people, do sports.

When i was a kid, my mother hadn't seen me for over ten hours per day, because i were digging in the dirt and playing football or punching turks.
I came home with clothes dirty, super hungry and tired as fuck.
Slept all night and repeat.
Thatw as basically what i did as a kid.
At later age (15 to 25) i did a lot of sports (cycling and kickboxing) and worked my heck off.
We as kids, did not even have the demand of internet communication or shit like that.
If internet gets way to regualted, i will give a fuck in it and go 100% offline again.

44 year old here. Seventies and eighties were funny and based as fuck.

>make some friends
I mean i have some friends at school but they just browse Sup Forums too we hung out in real life like twice and were so bored.

>meet a girl and get your dick sucked
First off that's degenerate, second, where? Every girl at school thinks im a freak and im really short too so...

>get a job
Have one

>pick up a hobby
I do, politics and trolling SJWs

I don't really live in walking distance of anything and obviously i can't drive

Where do i go find sports? and where are these people to talk to?

LOL
Ossi or wessi?

Would have loved to fuck those blond Ossi women in the 80s,damn

> Why did People Care about Stuff before the Internet?
You mean... Why don't people care about anything since the internet?

>Have you seen what they look like?

No.

>They look like our high-school nerds, just 20x times worse.

I was one of those nerds in high school, one of the dumbass little shits that thought he was smarter than he was. None of the nerds at my school, myself included, looked that bad. We still went outside and did shit. Even the ones that didn't spend time outdoors had one or two friends on the weightlifting team that they'd arm wrestle with constantly, so nobody had noodle arms.

So buy a bike. It can be a cheap under-$100 bike from Walmart, just so long as it has wheels. If you need cash, offer to mow your neighbors' lawns or shovel their driveways if it snows where you are. It should go without saying but make sure you shave and get a haircut before you go door to door offering your services.

Do you know about the JQ?

What? I consider myself a Chad and even i don't go outside unless i have to.

I have a bike but don't know where to go

Jewish question? Yeah

My grandparents started learning how to drive when they were 11. They both got cars before they were 18. It was easier to get shit back then, because you could truth other people. Now we have nigs, spics, and other undesirables that can't be trusted. Also White people are fucking terrible, because of single mothers. It's all corrupted.
