  1. What has also become chillingly clear was that the 20th century was a golden age akin to Renaissance Europe or 5th century BC Athens. All you have to do is compare and contrast the art produced then and now. Thanks boomers for casting us into a squalid dark age.

  2. Let us cavort like the Greeks of old. You know the ones I mean.

  3. Of course they do. They use it to quash smaller businesses.

  4. There is no reason, except it helps maintain a society. Many cultural norms are patently questionable otherwise, and this is something even most toddlers understand.

  5. Long time doom fan, and always disappointed by doom and never really saw it happening. But things are different now, and there are certain underlying trends, not discussed in worthless cnn, that do make me now think things can possibly spiral out of control.

  6. I've been a long time doom fan for decades, and always yearned for a good fun doom (like zombie or alien invasion), but also was "pessismistic" because I knew in the back of my mind it likely wouldn't happen because the world was just too... stable. Some of you people aren't paying attention to what is happening of late.

  8. Hes broadly right, but what now seems an almost certainty is that technologcal progress will stall.

  9. Wouldn't be shocked if Bidens debate performance gives Israel carte blanche to do whatever it wants. Hell, could be a common theme in the world.

  10. One maybe hope is that younger generations move on from these constant nightmare wars where America just throws away young lives and treasure that boomers love so much with visions of noble and just WW2 movies dancing in their heads. Sorry boomers, that's just not reality for kids today.

  11. The worst thing i can say about someone I can definitely say about boomers... they are not serious.

  12. The only "positive" is future generations could hold up baby boomers as examples of all the terrible things you should avoid doing, to hopefully make a better world. Boomers shat the bed when it comes to your one basic duty as a citizen, to make the world a little better for the next generation.

  13. Who doesn't love pirates. Well at least pirate movies.

  14. One thing that kind of raises questions are the diagrams in a lot of the documents. Seems a bit... off, doesn't entirely fit the scientific papers of the day (assuming those docs were something like scientific papers). They seem a little too... polished and "consumer friendly".

  15. That's really all boomer things. I mean, you can think of FDRs New Deal whatever you want, but at least that program actually left behind highways and the Hoover dam. What in the world are those scams tangibly building? Derp.

  16. People who believe their own propaganda often meet calamitous ends...

  17. lmao boomers. Watching the news, war and artillery torn towns in the world looks exactly like that little blown up town next to Nellis. Thanks Boomers.

  18. I don't believe its extremely likely the Chinese populace will revolt any time soon (could happen if China gets its ass handed to them by Taiwan). What will most likely happen is the population will just choose to generationally die off, like any other secular industrial civilization as most of its working class populace loses any hope for a good future for themselves or descendants.

  19. Kind of sort of theoretical good news, the world is less likely to be affected by resources shortage wars and environmental disaster with declining populations. The bad news? Everything whatifalthist mentioned.

  20. Having children almost seems irresponsible. There's a lot of manipulative psychopathic people in power.

  21. Depends

  22. The skimming is out of control.

  23. The correlation between China's economic woes and covid are obvious. As usual though, its the causations that's harder to hash out.

  24. Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history Forcing youth, away from the truth of what's real today

  25. Academia is literally a scam nowadays.

  26. Factoring everything, including covid, it seems like the sit in China is worse than we are imagining. Having said that, I'm pretty sure Chinese content creators already have created hilarious, tragic and pretty accurate videos of the decline of western countries.

  27. You underestimate warlordism.

  28. If there is a new dictator, he or she will almost certainly be leftist once again (possibly a atheist, pagan worshipping vegan artist type). Traditional conservatives value individual and civil liberties.

  29. It's hopeless. Even in the past, people had silly faith in socialism and secular scientific utopianism, but we don't even have a silly fantastical ideology like that to look forward too.

  30. The only funny thing I seen on TV in the last 30 years when the anchorman said the ME is such a mess, even the Taliban is calling for peace.

  31. Its apparently gotten much worse recently 😂🤐

  32. The only way I legitimately see the Chinese populace rising up is if they ban video games (more extensively than they do now).

  33. Rome was much more politically healthy when they were more an agrarian property holding army. The Marian Reform screwed that up, although it was a temporary boost in military prowess.

  34. The other huge red flag is why is China's soft power so damn weak? You have plenty of examples of Chinese diaspora dominating fields, like Taiwan and semiconductors, or elite mathematicians like Terence Tao and Yitang Zhang, part of a small handful of still respectable intellectuals, but they work in American universities.

  35. Iin Soviet Russia society lives you.

  36. The US economy is in the toilet, also for immigrants unlike not too long ago where immigrants could come to the US and fairly easily set up a small business. Really makes you wonder what's going on in "prosperous military superpower of the future" China.

  37. Boomers are like Homer Simpson in a fire drill where he escapes through a door, but then proceeds to barricade it so one else can escape. What could possibly be going through their minds? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  38. They were pretty insane before that, started to set in the 90s. Of course all the old Democrats who are anitwar and pro blue collar worker are long gone.

  39. It was mainly due to Christianity. Its a fairly unique religion in that it has a very strong sense of historical progress and is tolerant, unlike leftist Marxists - they won't usually go around burning random books (maybe the pope might burn some heretical religious texts).

  40. obvious plan is obvious

  41. Its truly galling what is happening in much of the world, that the US used to have a positive influence on. Seems like that's where the US is heading.

  42. Buying a home and starting a family are out of the question for most people, let alone accruing wealth to invest in oneself and family. Immigrants with no english skills use to start small business all the time.

  43. There are quite a few naive Xi cultist tiktokers and bots in the comments 😅 The lesson is CCP is rotten, and so is everyone else.

  44. My economic advice: the economy is screwed. No investment is going to keep up with runaway inflation.

  45. Three of those ideologies are genuinely evil. I think things can be put more simply as there is a lot of evil in the world, its probably intrinsic to the world.

  46. Go back boomer.

  47. I wonder if there is a connection between lead poisoning + growing up under power lines and the boomers. I have no other explanation for their unfathomably stupid behavior.

  48. CCP could be stupid, but it wouldnt be rational to invade Taiwan, they would get socked in the jaw. Ambhibious assaults are tricky, as we are currently relearning trench and urban warfare are, what a mess,. Og course assuming Taiwan military morale is at least solid.

  49. Rafah is going to be a flashpoint, Egypt will be forced to act.

  50. Milkmen used to be able to buy a house and start a family no problem, but no longer thanks to the boomers. And that begs the question, what sort of paradise was lost where men would deliver milk straight to your door? I have to carry that heavy crap home from the grocery store!
