The U.S./Canada immediately before 9/11.
Australia before the anglos arrival
Duh
>Rome
British Empire.
oldfag here (34)...bro the late 90s specifically from 1998 up until 9/11 was the most amazing time. I still have flashbacks of how great it was.
Ancient China, without a doubt. Confucianism is the ultimate red pill
I say "ancient" but really pretty much up until 1911
Something like the western world from 600 BC to the 1970s
This.
Rome, no question
...
kek
Rome was nothing compared to Europe from the 14th-20th century
Shocking how everything fell apart at once.
Red Dead Redemption
From a standpoint of my choosing?
WW2. Great technological advancements.
It's almost like someone was actively working to destroy western culture
but who?
>Not having a qt sex slave and going to watch gladiators fight in the arena
Also that architecture
Sometimes during the cold war I would say. There was an ideological rival that required countries to focus on important issues like research, education, improving the conditions for average people (so they don't decide communism/capitalism is better), etc.
1950s America.
That was a shitty movie. Didn't even take place in real life.
>China
Are you fucking retarded or just baiting
Fall of Soviet Union until 9/11.
...
November 22, 1963
Apollo program
Without question, it was late 90's Europe and America.
>Medical Advances were the best yet it in the world
>Liberal, but not suicidal tier yet. Just enough conservatism to not be too leftward
>actual person to person contact, not horseshit social media and smart phones
>no more soviet union and cold war
>glorious economy under Bill Clinton
9'11 brought utter devastation to the Western world
Europe 1500-1914
Greatest culture to ever exist
Greatest military innovations
Greatest technological innovations
Greatest period for fine arts
At least one of the greatest times for christian theology and - mainly - philosophy
1776 to 1900 America.
Europe until WW1 was the height of western civilization
Just watch film from pre-ww1 europe. The maniacs blew it up. The west never recovered.
We were still 75% white during the 90s. Already dropped to 63%. :(
Feels bad we will never get it back.
Holy shit what is this giant black planet?
is that a black hole??
Gothic architecture was more complex
and slavery really fucked up Rome in the end
But I guess you could say the same for the US.
Moonlanding
> JFK still alive
> Baby boomers hadnt fucked the world yet
> USA #1
> 90%+ White USA
> Raise family on one parent working
> Great music
> counter culture was cool, not terrorist niggers, muslims, and spic
> Free love
> Europe was still white
> TV was still innocent
> Jews hadnt totally taken over media
80s to 90s Japan just before the economic collapse
nah mane, reconstruction to 1929 is where its at
The reign of the good emperors
#jushfisheyelensthings
also
>flat earth
Too over the top, classical shit is the best.
Today.
How retarded do you have to be to believe that the pinnacle of human civilization was in older times? Everybody here doesn't know jackshit about history. Life was absolutely terrible before the half of the 20th century. None of you realize it, but you're all living better off than most kings and emperors in history.
yeah because they ripped off ideas from the muzzlomes
1913, just before WWI and establishment of the federal reserve.
>nah mane, reconstruction to 1929 is where its at
No, fuck off. America went down hill after the turn of the 19th century. Everything after about 1900 was progressive cancer in one for or another.
JFK died in 1963
50's-60's america (at least for white people), pinnacle when we put man on the moon, multiple times
90's was good too like others said
Rekt threads on Sup Forums
what is that landmass btw
I'd go back to the very start. I want to know.
you are so fucking dumb it hurts
no, Muslims did not build Gothic Cathedrals
Hell they didn't even build "le greatest mosque on earth"
90's
The beginning of the end
I can't imagine how any group of people could successfully destroy western culture all at once after having failed to do so for centuries.
fuck high school was so gay
I think it's the great lakes region of Africa
...
Europe, 1871-1914.
The golden age of our civilization, before the world wars, before socialism.
We didn't have mass media back then either
By controlling our media
Mediterraneans were quite obviously the master race all along.
Agreed. I just bought a new car... so I can go 2000 miles in 34 hours... because I fucking feel like it.
Germany 1934-1939
The shit part about the 1950's is how fucking perfect it was for such a short period of time.
People often envision living their entire lives in the 50's, but they couldn't have.
If you experienced childhood in the 50's, you'd be an adult through the awfully degenerate period of the 70's and elderly in the degeneracy of today.
If you're an adult in the 50's it's only because you grew up in the shitty era just beforehand that inspired the ultra conservative ideals of the 50's.
If you're elderly in the 50's, you've lived through some of the worst eras in America, namely the depression.
You can't live an entire life in the perfect 50's.
Why does this piss me off so much?
The beggining of the end was all the way back in the early 1900's with the growth of the (((international monetary system))) and the beginning of the spread of (((communism))), (((socialism))), (((anarchism))), and the (((international monetary system))).
>living better than most KANGZ
>never getting to deflower the local virgins on their wedding night
:( feels bad mane
fuarrk those feels, almost looks like my high school class photo
yea but it was a carefree time and awesome
fucked tat one up...
Ill just correct myself and say 60's
2017-2024
I'd give up modern luxury to enjoy a homogeneous, white society.
Wouldn't you?
I grew up believing in love, and chasing marriage, not pussy.
So stupid looking back on it. I knew nothing about women. I should've been getting pussy since I was 12 years old. Wasted my chances because I wanted love.
I can guarantee that these guys would be shitposting here if they didn't go full TAKBIR
Rome under the Antonines, from Nerva to Marcus Aurelius, 30 - 180 AD.
The OP says pinnacle, not the most exciting.
Sure thing buddy
I can back this up. It was a time before the internet ruined our lives.
>Implying you wouldn't want to go down to the local bathouse and spend your money most agreeably on whores. See your glorious empire unapologetically conquer lands and take their riches. Witness the foundation of all future western powers.
I'm telling you fags, Rome was the shit. So you don't have access to modern medicine, big deal. I'd rather die younger than live in degenerate capital of the world.
>3rd cousin
a relevant connection
maybe in older times, or in REALLY close families, but that seems very loose
I have a rather close family and I never see 3rd/4th cousins unless I'm seeing a second or first cousin at some sort of event of theirs and they invited them
I can narrow it down to the instant.
when this photo was taken, this is the high water mark for humanity.
fuck, forgot a
>
on the second line
if you never had any trouble, just the scare, sure ww2 was awesome, specially if it was a scare, but you had to work your guts out to ensure your people's safety, but lots of people were in the bad end of it and you could have easily be there too
Athens before the death of Pericles
god damn. I wish the Olympics were still naked.
i might actually watch them
kek, although hope its not >american education
Sometimes I look back at the world and I wonder if any of it was ever real.
It's like the past is an alien world to us, but so heavenly too.
Has life always been so tragic?
1890s
>Never
Have hope burger-friend, you never know what the future might hold.
I can't tell if this is CGI
Now because I have access to technology, medicine, so much food that there's actually a fucking variety, and I can sustain myself financially by doing close to nothing.
disparity is a pita though, and globalization allows those that are fucked to realize how much exactly they are being fucked. For those that live a good happy life I guess today (and even better the non apocalyptic future) is pretty based
that pic would also help with rising sea levels
What is the lowest percentage of white a society has ever gotten before shooting back up to 100% white?
America approaches a white minority. Has a white minority ever risen up before and retaken their home?
Yes but that's not necessarily a good thing
The world being brought so close together by the advent of modern transportation and mass media has only made people unhappy
Distance was one of the great barriers of the universe in the history of civilization that kept people apart and allowed cultures to grow and thrive on their own
>living an easy life is better than living a fulfilling life
Wanna know how I know you're a degenerate?
>threat of nuclear annihilation on everyone's mind
Good times.
Wasn't the crime rate much higher?
>what does Sup Forums believe the pinnacle of human civilization was?
german empire up until 1914
This. Germans ruined everything.
Colonies wouldn't have been released after the war if they were a net wealth gain.
Britain was doing so much good.
europe 1900-1955, it's beauty will likely never be seen again
This. Fuck, like you can go out and go on a fucking parachute jump like it was nothing, yet it was something everybody in the Middle Ages dreamed of.
What's more worth it
>Virgins
or
>Toilet, hot water, cars, computers, food, etc.
If you want white virgins so bad, just go to some Eastern European country. Not worth it anymore eh?
No, absolutely not. Modern technology is everything. Ever went on a vacation in some third world country? Where it's absolutely horrible, no toilets, no water, no air conditioning, etc? Just remember that is still a million times better than any European country before the 19th century.
Lol Romans. Your idea of Rome is one that has been greatly romanticized over the centuries, the same as Ancient Greece. In reality, life in Rome was terrible. Tolerable, but terrible. It's the same as when Jean Jacque Rousseau started romanticizing savages and how humanity was before civilization, talking about human society was much better. Apart from the fact it wasn't.
Crime was highest during the crack epidemic, late 80s early 90s IIRC
So what was it actually like then leaf?
Such beauty, such strength.
Oh what could have been, but the world was too evil to accept the purity Germany tried to bring to us.
british empire up until 1914 (minus our little contribution)
Non binary bathroom labels.
1950's-60's USA.
