GenXers in the early 90's found that life did indeed suck and got depressed about it. Wrote songs about being depressed and all that bullshite.


This is a good point. At least the “hair bands” of the 80s were about tearing shite up and having a good time. Music in the 90s, while it sounded good, was all a bunch of dudes whining about stuff.

Rousseau suggested this hundreds of years ago. I think he was onto something.

The right has become too civilized while the left has become less civilized. In both the US and Europe the young people of the 1960s protested freely (against war, for drug legalization, end racial discrimination, etc). Today the young lefties want speech banned if they disagree with it. Jail for anyone who says an offensive word. I've heard 3 different videos of college students admitting that they cannot express a conservative viewpoint in class without the risk of their professor flunking them. Things have definitely changed.

The opposite.


Civilization dispenses justice. Examples must be made.

We’ve gotten away from that and gone to a place where wrongdoers get away with wrongdoing.

We’ve become less civilized.

Yes it was. They didn't kill anybody but they got shot by feds. And people just watching peacefully from the sidewalk were put in prison.

Yes, I remember being a kid and the scoreboard worked starting at 4 yrs old. As a kid you knew single treats you lost and double or triple treats you won. All teams had end of the year parties however if you didn’t finish in the top 3 no trophy. Oh and draft day was huge your parents didn’t pay for pony league or little league if you weren’t drafted. 15 players per team. Fast forward to my kid who is in his twenties now. First game at 5 scoreboard didn’t work and everybody bats and wins… life has been made too easy for them and when they don’t get a job it’s a devastating blow. What the hell

Funny thing is, if you forget about your woes and help others, you become pretty fricking happy especially if you can laugh about all the dumb shite around you that you can't change.


True.

This is the secret to becoming content... help others and have humor. Too much navel gazing in today's world.

Oh, they do that plenty in your local section 8 wonderlands. One scumbag kills another scumbag. Neither they or anyone around them will tell the authorities anything. A few days pass and another house is sprayed with gunfire for revenge. A 6 year old girl who had nothing to do with any of it is hit and dies.

That's what not being "civilized" gets you. We've got plenty of it. We dish out plenty of it worldwide. Soft? If Fauci becomes a problem to the right people, he'll suddenly drop dead of "natural causes". We're far from soft, pal. We're terrifying.

I think brainwashed is the term you are looking for.

America has been subjected to leftist stupid plans, policies and propaganda. That's just subversion, not civilization.
