I would've been 15 at the time

Considering it *was* a scene in a couple of movies by that point

I was 4

Almost 5

I was born at the same moment the bloody challenger exploded in '86

ewwww, gen yer

Gen X?

nah

Does aye, 17 years since 9/11 lol

I like getting older though, little bit less full of shite every year

Shut up, ya boomer

Haha

I wouldn't be so concerned

Two generations ago most men lived through seeing their friends blown up

Go back the generations and each one had considerably more war in it. Never mind seeing it on the telly.

Compare parenting now vs then and you will see a root cause

Psychopathy is a word that shouldn't be used lightly or it'll lose its meaning

I would argue this is the first western generation without any real, big life or death consequences

I'd say that rather than people becoming more desensitised that the opposite is happening. People are becoming more sensitive. Too sensitive.

Or rather that abilities to cope are being eroded

They won't *want* kids

Gen z will be sterile at this rate

All according to plan

Rubs hands

One encouraging sign though is that the youngest generations are more Conservative in attitude than their parents, rejecting a lot of the social justice twaddle.

@Durtle02 My uncle teaches. He had to retire several years early, because he was getting death threats from middle school aged children, and *parents* REGULARLY.

*He's a fucking gradeschool music teacher.*

But that is history in general, a swinging of the pendulum from one generation or two to the next.

I personally try not to dwell on the overall state of culture, particularly when it comes to thinking it's fucked beyond repair. Better to focus on not being someone who encourages what one doesn't actually want.

Much has to do that boomers taught generations X Y Z

That's for the Jordan Peterson Discord.

We're awaiting societal collapse.

Venn diagram needed here but they had a great reach

I wouldn't say its very wise to talk as if you talk as part of a group that all thinks the same, especially when unelected, haha.

🤷🏻

I do like the fact that Trump and Brexit has shook up the apple cart a bit.

My college's mandatory SJW sexual violence class is about to start, wish me luck.

And with people like Sargon and Dankula making an effort. It is very encouraging. Bringing politics back into life instead of a factory that churns out practically identical drones in practically identical suits, all saying the same shit.

I'd love some more simple, sensible policies and ideas. Like with Islam as an example. Islamic countries are worse by every metric than western countries. Westerners who don't become Muslims obviously don't want to live in an Islamic society. If they don't want that, then obviously Islam isn't desirable. Therefore don't encourage it or give it power. No racism, no hate, none of that claptrap, just basic bitch preferences and common sense.

The concept of some things being better or worse than others lol

But das racist
