Society as a whole changes with the times so it's said by every generation.

I will say the normal day to day is hardly noticeable.

Just people on social media are consumed by it and warps their perception of what normal people are like.

However since they are constantly on social media they also have the largest voice.

The rest of us shrug our shoulders and live like we always have.

When I was a kid some evenings there would be a knock on the door and it would be a family friend and his wife or some relatives who were in the neighborhood and stopped in to visit unannounced. Mom would make some coffee and break out a cake or something and they’d sit at the kitchen table and play canasta or something.


Nowadays if someone knocks on the door you look for a place to hide or load the shotgun. Somebody up to no good…haha.

There are more conveniences today but there was more socializing back then.

Id say after 9/11 when suddenly cable news networks decided to start airing opinion shows in the evenings. Suddenly it just seemed like thats when battle lines were drawn and any cooperation went out the window, especially with how far off the deep end democrats have gone.

The foundation was laid the moment LBJ was sworn in after JFK was assassinated, all downhill from that point.

I agree….i think is the same as it has always been. Same issues and same complaints every other generation has dealt with. If every generation deals with the same problems, maybe they aren’t really problems at all.

the root cause is feminization of our institutions. feminism told women to have careers so they did and ruined academia and media with suicidal empathy and DEI and immigration and general child-like management of everything.

almost all of our modern problems have to do with feminism, unhappy medicated women out of place in society making bad decisions.

a return to trad gender roles would fix things everyone would be happier. we were evolved to have roles, provider and nurturer, and the more we get outside of these roles, the worse things get.

The 90s was the last great decade. The 2000s brought us the "smart" phone and social media. As an example of how this generation longs for those times, my daughter's favorite show is Friends. "Did people really live like that?" Yes we did and it was glorious.

For a while before anyone recognized it.

You didn’t know how shite people were until you could see it just by opening your phone. But I promise you, they’d been shite for a while before that. Social media just empowered people to be shitty regularly

There's been a steady downward trajectory since WW2 really.

The core American values were undermined by a lot of factors.

Mass immigration, removal of Christianity, globalization, social media fragmenting culture, theres not one thing but a lot if big things

America isn't really a country anymore, just a geographic economic zone occupied by about 3 different major groups

I just mentioned something about this in another thread. In the 2000s the radical social issue was "should gays be able to get married".

It went extreme fast. It was early 2010s. I don't think you can put an exact date, but the time line is similar to the growth of social media.

Between 1985 and 2023, the share of U.S. children living in households without a father figure more than doubled, increasing from about 11% to 25%. This means that by 2023, approximately one in four children lived in a home without a father. While the numbers have grown across all demographics, the prevalence of fatherless households varies significantly by race and ethnicity.

Yes, and our out of control Welfare and EBT system financially rewarding people, who can't even take care of themselves, to have more children.
