Hey Sup Forums, I've stopped coming here often because I can feel the bad energy really starting to get under my skin. Then the shills were added to the mix and now I hardly come here at all.
If you want to feel like shit you should watch it.
>people are talking to one another easily and freely >no racial tensions >even the fucking Indian is up for a bit of banter >no fears of getting stabbed late at night >everyone is smiling >smoking inside >nobody is giving dirty looks to the guy recording >one guy is coked out and yet is still cool >cute French chick isn't acting like a stuck-up bitch
I thought I'd post this to see if any American anons can remember these times or if any of you other anons can weigh on the the general decay of what we could call 'general civic decency'. Better yet, what could have led to this being such an unimaginable thing these days?
Everyone was probably drunk or high that late at night tbqh. And it's at fucking DisneyWorld.
But yeah, attitudes have definitely changed. Society's become more introverted, hostile toward others, asocial, in many ways.
Noah Reed
Even in fucking Ireland things have changed drastically the past 5 or so years.
>be me >out late for a few drinks with the lads >friend breaks up a fight between two scumbags for a third scumbag to run in and knock him out >go to get a chippers at about 2 in the morning >drunk 30 year old starts talking shit to us >end up in fight with a fucking 30 year old
Granted, this doesn't happen every night. But there is definitely an amount of resentment and hatred latent in the air these days.
Jose Wood
I watch that video about every ear. It's a ritual to me
Wyatt Carter
Yea, honestly its stems alot from the "liberation" of women. And I'm not some MGTOW Virgin or anything, men have lost purpose in life and now just never grow up.
Samuel Wood
>And it's at fucking DisneyWorld. The guy has said that everyone in the video was a local; look at the Indian buying sugar at 2 in the morning.
He has also said that apart from the guy who is obviously fucked up on coke, they had only went for a few beers, and he didn't have any at all.
Tyler Perry
>Bad Politics
Stop defending women. It's not bad politics, it's good politics in the sense that it's exactly the politics that women wanted.
Nathan Cook
That cunt demanded millions of alimony.
Angel Gonzalez
i was a teen in the 80s if it was a VHS camcorder (likely) everyone in that video knew they were being filmed at the time and likely played the part this was before reality TV became a big thing and it was suddenly cool to act out like a chimp on loiter squad these days you young faggots will do just about anything to get any kind of attention positive or negative seems to make no difference cant imagine how that affects the psyche and the rest of society at large
Jordan Thompson
>"This doesn't happen every night" Don't lie, Ireland...
Christian Foster
I find it a little funny that this topic turns straight towards women.
I acknowledge that they have done a lot of bad, and I quite frankly only know of one woman I can talk to for more than 10 minutes.
But there is more than that in the air these days. A lot of racial tension being created, kids getting sexualized by media when young, European high-culture and the old veneration of 'virtue' has been entirely forgotten as well.
To me it looks like every value has gone out the window in preference for some sort of vile egotism
Nolan Morales
Durr surprise, we are in the age of the individual
Parker Scott
>tfw that legitimately ruined her for me
Parker Sanders
>But there is more than that in the air these days.
No, it's not. Governments are run by women, media is run by women, education is run by women.
As simple as that.
Juan Taylor

What are you doing now? Do you have to deal with people like these yet? It's a nightmare.
Jose Williams
Floridafag here, I was 9 at the time. Can't really say if my lack of fear was a result of being a child and not having an understanding of mortal danger or not. However I can tell you that my parents weren't afraid of having me run around the neighborhood on my own at all hours, unlike parents these days, including myself if I had kids.
Jayden Johnson
I can only talk about GB, but it was actually a lot more violent back then. You got into a fight or talked out of one regularly whether you liked it or not.
Even with the tension, there was a certain amount of creativity and ease that I don't see today, but then I'm older and at risk of nostalgia.
Just as it got most negative, people literally slashing each other's faces for entertainment, the ecstasy thing happened and even total shitheads in the worst places started to chill out, it was almost spooky. That could never have happened in the same way with the ubiquitous camera society we have now. That is the cancer of the time for me, spontaneous responses are dying and meta ironic IRL bullshit is everywhere.
Kevin Brooks
I disagree, we are in the age of entitlement. It can't be the age of the individual if everyone is entitled to get stuff paid by someone else.
Aiden Flores
wild guess, you posted the wrong pic >or gay
Xavier Nguyen

i dont deal with these kinds of people at all engaging them will not change any hearts and minds
If fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding.
Dominic Ortiz
A lot has to do with the internet. It allows people to pretend they have friends when even previously close friends online wouldn't bother sending a message to someone who needs it.
Juan King
>Can't really say if my lack of fear was a result of being a child and not having an understanding of mortal danger or not
When I was 10 I remember being scared to be walking around my town because of all the scumbags.
Actually, That whole British scumbag culture came to Ireland around that time and it was one of the reasons I never felt comfortable walking around with all these fuckers in their trackies staring you down since you were 10.
Eventually a lot of them committed suicide though, which I found satisfying but also very disturbing.
Another time a whole gang of them (24 year olds) came into the secondary school to beat the living shit into a 16 year old (could have been younger) because he kicked one of their brothers out of a disco sort of thing for selling drugs.
Fucker was in hospital for months. Think he broke both of his eye-sockets
Jaxson Johnson
I feel you OP, I'm getting burnt out from all the negativity as well.
I grew up in Southern California in the 80's and 90's and when this song was released, it was a mirror of my life. Now I look back on it and am so grateful I grew up in an era before interpersonal relationships were destroyed by social media, but overwhelming sad I will never get to go back.
>Year 2016 >Visit 7-11 in Seattle at 1am in a good side of town >99.99% of customers are niggers >Cars with windows down playing loud music >Bums sleeping outside >No contact between strangers

Lucky you, I will be moving away soon to the city and there is much less of them in the good areas in Dublin.
Joshua Flores
Durr capitalism is everything bad in the world hurr
Dominic Sanchez

It's always the abuses of the systems that create the problems, not the system itself friendo.
James Lewis
>Durr capitalism is everything bad in the world
No, but the destruction of the values, culture, family unit it's to capitalism interests.
yep everyone loves wearing their opinions on their sleeves but when you share yours back youll just be remembered as that one faggot who talked shit at the gas station
glad youre able to remove yourself from it somewhat
better palisade Dublin when you get there maybe an oil filled moat too it is the only whey
Lucas Myers
>Strong families don't spend much
Yeah Russia and Cuba are culprits of values and strong families.
Dylan Johnson
>so grateful I grew up in an era before interpersonal relationships were destroyed I have no reaction image to express how depressed I am about having grown up in the 2000's. I feel like my youth has been stolen from me. The majority of my life was spent sitting in front of a computer screen like most people my age. I am now 24 and it seems like I am locked into adulthood, having to focus primarily on my career since my cost of living so so absurdly high. I have nothing to look forward to.
Colton Moore
But in this case i think it's safe to say the capitalist system is to blame. The goal of capitalist societies is always to have as much profit as one can. And by that companies have to sell.
Strong and united families don't spend much in frivolities. Christians don't spend much in frivolities. tight communities don't spend much in frivolities.
But individual "just be yourself" kind of people do. divided families do. People without any sort of values, beliefs, happiness buy frivolities to try to sooth their misery.
This is why the true red-pill will always be anticapitalism.
Luke Jackson
>Yeah Russia and Cuba are culprits of values and strong families.
???
Poor communities are usually much more cose and tight.
Connor Powell
>Another time a whole gang of them (24 year olds) came into the secondary school to beat the living shit into a 16 year old
Yeah that shit would have never happened here in 1987. Now however,

Fuck you Jew York Times.

Jonathan Walker
>Yeah that shit would have never happened here in 1987.
Of course it did. But in Portugal, at least, people would join, pick up clubs and stuff like that, and beat the crap out of them.
Cameron Perez
Don't fret too much canadabro, I think yours is the last generation that has a chance of making it. I really think the iPhone was the nail in the coffin of society - it's just too easy to avoid people (and ideas) these days.
Adam Young
But yes, keep blaming socialism or women or jews for a thing that is right in front of our eyes. One day, maybe, you will reach to the truth.
Joseph Campbell
Some nice footage from the Exorcist audiences in 1973. World wide communal hysteria for what was essentially an art film.
Nearly everybody was thin as well. Somehow they are oddly self contained, like they're not trying to impress too much. Flick to halfway if you want to hear people speak.
>Now I look back on it and am so grateful I grew up in an era before interpersonal relationships were destroyed by social media Do you at least have a group of friends at the moment? How is Japan treating you? Thanks for the song by the way, I haven't heard it in a long time.
Hopefully man, I've been on a good run recently and I feel that I'm starting to undo a lot of damage done through the years. Both from the two great evils of a shit environment and form growing up in an abusive single-mother household
There's a lot to be corrected man.
One third of the world's GDP is abroad in tax havens, family dynasties are acquiring more and more wealth, the work markets are saturated with foreigners working for nothing.
So far as I can tell Capitalism is the 'only game left on the table.' What would you recommend as an alternative?
same dudes making the same type of video in 2014 at the same 7 11. this could have been filmed back in the 80's. nostalgia feels debunked.
Gavin Jones
Free enterprise is necessary or else productivity evaporates and nothing gets done. The problem is Globalist Oligarchs have hijacked the process by buying governments and making regulations to strangle new business formation. Social engineering has been destructive on families and communities, creating rootless consumers to be easily programmed by the powerful.
Jaxon Wood
John is on on that 80s columbian white.
Ian Wilson
>What would you recommend as an alternative?
Don't know man. the only one i know that is not a reactionary bullshit is socialism. Let the fruits of labour be divided by the workers. Let capital accumulation be forbidden.
>One third of the world's GDP is abroad in tax havens, family dynasties are acquiring more and more wealth, the work markets are saturated with foreigners working for nothing.
This is symptoms of the hyper capitalist phase we are entering. We are selling our societies to beings little more then monkeys. And they say it's good to us because goods are cents cheaper. Meanwhile wages are being depressed, our society is unhappy, there is tension building up...
Dylan Reed
>Free enterprise is necessary or else productivity evaporates and nothing gets done.
source? State funding was behind virtually all major inventions mate

And how do you solve this?
>Social engineering has been destructive on families and communities, creating rootless consumers to be easily programmed by the powerful.

Isaac Fisher
For most people that come to Japan, it's really easy to make superficial friends if you play the foreign fool card. But I've found it really difficult to make lasting friendships, so I'm up at 2:30am shitposting images of frogs like everyone else here because I have no real friends. Just /pol.
We're all gonna make it italybro, keep fighting the good fight.
Chase Powell
Its the same up in the North of Ireland too, I've noticed in my own experiences that its lads in their 30's starting shit tho. I kind of expected more of that sort of craic from younger folks
>Poor communities are usually much more cose and tight.
Your kidding, right?
Adam Edwards
This this this. Evola knew the future
Brody Gomez
Oh, yes, you have niggers in your country.
Mexicans for example are much more traditional, closer, especially those not raised in america. Its the same in my country. Poor communities and rural ones are always much more closer and supportive of each other.
Jack Turner
Fuck Hanoi Jane, she gave moral comfort to our enemy during wartime. Stupid fucken bitch. That shit might fly nowadays,but back then she was a raging scumbag.
Juan Hall
REE, why couldn't I live in the 80's. everyone was ok with each other. fuckign identity politics and jews. enough.
Oliver Lee
Oh come on...They were being recorded and where was that? Maybe in a small town? You can make exactly this sort of video today.
Tyler Edwards
I blame the internet desu
it made us all so jaded by letting the retards preach to us
Jacob Davis
This is just anecdotal evidence, but in my country the poorest people are the ones who are as far from close and 'tight-knit" as possible. The most warmest, compassionate, nicest people I know are more wealthy. I definitely agree with you about Mexicans though. Here, they are incredibly close and supportive of each other, regardless of how poor they are. Its pretty much just whites and niggers who are hyper-individualists when poor.
Brody Lee
Was this before black gang culture?
Elijah Evans
This, honestly, is one of the saddest changes in culture today.
Kids aren't allowed to be kids anymore.
When I was growing up, we'd come home from school, do our homework, and then apart from an hour or so for dinner when Dad got home from work, we were more or less left to our own devices for the better part of 6 hours a day.
And not in the "go play in the backyard" kind of way, I mean my sisters and I would frequently run off into the woods for a few hours or walk down to a park or walk over to our grandparents' house or ride our bikes to the public pool or bike down to the river and go fishing, etc etc. All completely unsupervised.
Our parents trusted the community we lived in to be safe and, more importantly, they trusted us to stay safe, make good decisions, and make good use of our free time.
You don't see that anymore. Now everyone's a helicopter parent, never out of view of their kids, every activity has to be scheduled and structured, everybody's got so many stupid organized extracurriculars that they don't have any time to just be kids anymore.
Austin Jackson
I know m8, that particular story actually happened up North
I might endorse socialism, but to be honest I only know of the failures of it so I really can't speak about it confidently. I think Capitalism is salvageable though, but that might even require another god damn revolution.
>You can make exactly this sort of video today.
Fuckin Jews
Walk into chippers, 3 dodgy looking fuckers give you a dirty look and laughing, another comes in after a while from taking a piss outside, they try to rob your bike then until your friends catch up with you &c.
Ain't that easy my Jewish friend
>We're all gonna make it italybro, keep fighting the good fight. Hang in there m8, shit gradually gets on a roll and gets steadily better when the mellowing hormones kick in
Robert Ortiz
That must be a american thing then.

You can see the downfall of our society directly in the people surrounding you.
85% persons i met are vile people that are false af, they are not good persons and you can see in their eyes this.
However, when you met a pleasant person, it will brighten your day because of its rarity.
I used to have childish view on people, they were all kind of good to me, but when you start growing up, go to college, working etc.. you see the real evil in them.
I miss a lot the 90's 00', where we would find amusement in pretty much everything we could have atm, also the respect/values kind of flew away with the time. I have the feeling that not a lot of persons have it anymore.
I also miss 00s when I was still a growing teenager and had actually human interractions.
>be me >enroll in a university after a hiatus >all that intellectual/moral decay in the universities
Hunter Davis
Portugal was never Socialist. We were capitalist under estado novo (big bussiness ruled Portugal), and we are capitalist after the revolution. We were ruled by parties who called itself socialist, but are in the pockets of big money.
Just because a monkey calls itself a pharao, doesn't mean he is a pharaoh
Parker Bailey

Eli Campbell
I think we are closing ourselves from interaction with people because we experienced too much bad interactions, as i said too much people are toxic these days.
Expect good in people today is bad bet.
Unfortunately i had bad relations with gfs, so the same process is happening, i don't date anymore, i protect myself from suffering but at the same time regret that > no gf.
I kind of let me be driven by events, and expect nothing from anyone, exept close family and real friend.

dont just complain on Sup Forums - i mean, you CAN, but also try to do good in the world
we ALL have to make America great again, not just Trump-dono
