I can tell you weren't alive in the 90s, you fucking retard. Yes, there were SJWs in the 90s. In fact, the previous wave of left-wing hysteria took place in the 90s, and was even parodied on The Simpsons (Homer grabs ass). Yes, thug culture was so prevalent that even my friends here in fucking Norway listened to that shit and were sagging their pants. The end of the cold war meant the opposite of what you're implying, because without the big threat of the Soviet Union, the west started to splinter ideologically, and we were no longer allowed to take pride in our strength, unity and militarty power. It meant the death of the western world.
The 90s were certainly much better than the world of today, more or less across the board, but it had its share of problems. They just hadn't evolved as far as they have today.
Lincoln Perry
The 90s were shit. The 80s were shit. What came before was shit. The present is shit and so will be the future. You're just looking back to the past to find your new utopia because you've come to the realization that life is, in short, shit.
Blake Smith
The 1990s were better than now, but you're wrong on these points:
>There was real gender equality but women still acted feminine and loyal Cheating and divorce was still common way back into the 70s.
>What few minorities existed behaved well and tried to integrate. There was racial harmony. OJ and Rodney King prove that wrong.

Marxism The 90's was the last decade of decadence following the peak which was just before WW1
Luis Nelson
This. 2000/2001 was peak and 9/11 began the decline. The wars in the middle east (now resulting in muh refugees). The 2008 crash then fucked everything alot worse. Basically the 00s managed to unravel any progress made in the 90s and now we're going backwards again with Political Correctness, SJWs, identity politics, mass immigration, austerity, gap between rich and poor growing, race relations getting worse . Plus the West lost its general sense of invincibility. No one would have ever thought an attack like that could be pulled of in America- it'd be impossible. Now Muslims are emboldened enough to come and try and take over Western countries. They wouldn't have tried that 20 years ago.
Levi Johnson
George Bush was elected and entered two wars without funding them. he even decided to cut taxes.
Connor Scott
>The end of the Cold War had absolutely BTFO left-wing politics. And when the Soviets fell, they came to the West, went into our media and colleges, and began their "long march through the institutions". This bore fruit after one full generation was raised under them in the form of today's SJWs.
Zachary Cook
>And when the Soviets fell no, they invaded our universities far before that. What the fuck do you think the '60s were?
Aaron Sanders
>9/11 began the decline
You may be on to something. An employer told me, not long after, when the American response was shaping up, in all it's hysteria, "that's it, the end for the US". I thought it an odd thing to say, really going out on a limb. The hastening of everything going to shit has followed though.

The long march through western institutions started in the 50's when the USSR was at it's zenith.

You're right. The Soviets falling was another wave of that same poison, but the 60's were definitely the start of it.

This happened: After that, it was time to fulfill the plans m8. The NWO-script at the new millennium has kicked in. They have realised that their economical and political system inst sustainable psychologically or biologically so they're milking the money machine and now they don't have anybody standing in their way.
They need some shit to be running in the background so you retards don't catch them red handed. You need to focus on some shit that is really worthless and a political ferret wheel at best.
Wouldn't be surprised if they have sold the world to the mudslimes and are planing on leaving it in a hurry to start over on another planet...

Bill Clinton, glass steagal.
There were definitely SJWs. I had to work with 2 of them. They were absolutely the omg how dare anyone disagree with me type. The internet gave them a tool to further themselves and grow.
80s were definitely peak.
90s was when treason became cool. I am gen x but literally 80-90% of the people I knew were scum, and that was a lot because I was a lot more social and had got around more because I was just out of school.
Women were exactly like they are today. Acted like princesses but were total whores.

There was a point where media depicting the future made it look bright and hopeful, Now the future is always depicted as post-apocalyptic.

The fire was rising, so much so that people predicted the 9/11 attack before it'd even happened. The fire has just risen enough that it's starting to scorch your ass.
Brayden Thompson
Don't forget that movie "PCU".. being an SJW/PC was lame as fuck, nagging everybody and whining and self-victimizing all the damn time.

That was the Neocons, because the planned it and orchestrated it with Mossad-handled sockpuppet agents and organizations they infiltrated in the terrorist underworld.

As a '96er I can confirm the future was bright and got darker as I grew up at an alarming rate. I thought it was just reality setting in but the past seems like it was so much happier for everyone, even hood rats were having fun killing each other to the beat of the rap music over in Detroit across the river.
