  1. Looking back, I am realizing that the big pharma industry has done catastrophic damage to both the Millennial and Zoomer generations. We were not only manipulated by big pharma by taking medication whenever we were depressed, we were sold on the idea that legalizing drugs was a good thing. Over 10 - 15 years later, we are seeing the results, and they most certainly aren’t pretty.

  2. The system has failed for the past 30 to 50 years. How people don’t realize this is beyond me.
    231
  3. I wish I had a time machine so I can go back to the 1980s and 1990s, decades before this madness started.
    205
  4. So it’s basically Left vs Right aligned states. Got it.
    171
  5. As someone who went to school from the late 80’s to the early 2000’s, I feel like I dodged a bullet.

  6. Yet he killed himself. Robin had lots of friends and support in the decades he was in show business. But he is a prime example of why the person you see on camera, isn’t often the same person behind the scenes.

  7. Tyson was right.

  8. Go to Africa or India to see actual starving children. These activists would think twice if they saw those kids first hand.
    100
  9. The same garbage is happening to America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This is an issue that spans across most of the Angelo countries.
    87
  10. A big reason why they are weak is because they were raised on the internet and social media. The oldest ones were born in 1997, and by the time they were 8 - 10 years old, MySpace was already the go to social media site. While I will argue that Millennials are also weak to an extent, they had actual childhoods in the late 80’s and 90’s. They were raised with the Boomer economy still growing, which gave them a plethora of good Hollywood movies, shows, and so on. They also had toys like Super Soakers, and actual slot car racing kits to build and experiment on. Gen X was the last generation to grow up in an analog world. Boomers of course were allowed to roam outside, had far less restrictions, and were more free, as long as they got home before dark. Gen Z has none of this. The more unstable ones never had a real childhood, and easily break on social media. They can’t take edgy jokes.

  11. Reject Modernity. Embrace Tradition.
    86
  12.  @jimpanse1638 Older generations had things tougher. They had to be mentally resilient and strong.
    84
  13. Just watch the original British TV series.
    82
  14. I definitely noticed people either having to conform to an algorithm or just plain giving up. The old YouTube allowed people just getting started a chance to breath and express themselves. Today, you're mostly confined to big channels that had their fanbase established long ago. The people starting out today don't have a snowball's chance in hell. YouTube is too corporatized for its own good.
    72
  15. She is miserable.

  16. This started when Al Gore’s political campaign on global warming convinced Millennial highschool kids to be hyper critical on the effects on global warming. Yet he was flying around on a private jet, and received loads of funding that didn’t seem to amount to anything useful.
    60
  17. If it’s not the US Army, it’s the US Navy. Go look at old ads from 30 years ago. What passes as acceptable today is an utter joke.
    56
  18. Gen Z still looks like a group of highschool kids living in their mother’s basement, despite most being well in their 20’s. I stumbled across old family photos from the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s. My parents and grandparents, despite only being in their 20s and 40s respectively, looked old enough to pass for 40s to late 50s. Working with Gen Z can also be a problem. Many cannot take constructive criticism, I work a job where I train young recruits and many of them bow out after a couple months. There is a learning curve with my fast paced job, and Gen Z in general doesn’t have the patience to learn the ropes. In regards to dating, I’ll be turning 40 soon. I have no business dating a Gen Z woman and I wouldn’t date one if you paid me. Millennials on the other hand can also be unstable, but they were raised when the internet wasn’t mainstream. I get along better with Millennial women than I do with Gen Z women. If the Greatest and Silent generations of women were high tier, Gen Z women are bottom of the barrel, believing every ideology that has been shoved down their throats. Every other woman has a tattoo, they have an attitude, they are poor workers, and they absolutely do not care about long term relationships.

  19. How I miss the 2007 era of YouTube. iJustine. Angry Nintendo Nerd. The Irate Gamer. When you could post videos on blowing stuff up in your backyard and post your gun collection, not get punished for those videos. There was a realness and genuineness to the old YT that is long gone. Let the Baby Boomers continue to dilute this platform. Hopefully a Phoenix will rise out of the ashes.
    51
  20. The interview and conversation that starts at 5:00 took place in the late 90s, which I know because that's when the book The Big Test was released, thanks to someone who mentioned it. America has been getting dumbed down for a very long time. Sowell points out that it didn't matter how he felt when he was going to school as a youngster. Other channels I've watched here on YT from older people have pointed out that America used to have a system of etiquette. Every student going thru school had to abide to this system of etiquette. And despite those students from Sowell's time not going to college/university as much as Millennials did, they were far more articulate, far more proper, and had more integrity. I've listened to old WW2 veterans in their interviews and it blows my mind how proper, sophisticated, elaborate and down to earth they were in their speaking. What's tragic is I've met many people who finished university and graduate school who are downright narcissists. Not only are they arrogant, they fail to speak proper English. Most of them were born here in the United States. Yet for all their higher education, they fail at any proper grammar and lack any sort of critical thinking.
    51
  21. The best thing you guys can do is ignore this crap and move on. I've been saying for years that products like WWE have been declining for a long time, but the backlash from long time fans have only helped Vince McMahon's case to get more rich and relevant. As long as people give Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power more attention, the more fuel that is added to the fire. Amazon will just use that to create another inferior product to use as propaganda so the cycle can repeat. Stop giving them attention.
    50
  22. Graduated highschool in 2005. Graduated college in 2009. Looking back, I definitely dodged a bullet. Too bad for Generation Alpha. Looks like they’re going to have things pretty rough.
    50
  23.  @gommechops When 2Pac arrived it was all about killing, embracing the thug life, and seeing people getting shot. In the 1970’s, black music was about coming together, understanding, and being accepted as human beings rather than judged for their skin color.
    49
  24. My grandparents told me years ago that San Francisco back in the 1950s and 1960s was a great place to live. Food was abundant. There were many landmarks (Alcatraz was an actual prison then however). There were several communities that were distinct, yet could come together and compromise. Politics were nowhere near as radical. According to my grandpa, things started changing in the late 60’s and 70’s. Since that time the city has gradually gotten worse. I remember in 2005 when some houses were going for $750,000 a piece, and these were just regular homes in city limits. Gavin Newsom, current governor of California, was mayor of San Francisco during this time. A former police officer once told me he quit the force because he got tired of Newsom’s meddling. Things have only gotten worse since then. California at this point is a sinking ship.
    47
  25. And I'm sure you remember the try outs on American Idol. Tens of millions of people watching these nobodies humiliate themselves on national television.
    47
  26. I think this abuse has gone on for far longer than people realize. Britney Spears is often seen as someone with serious mental issues. She started her career with Club Disney, which in the 90’s was a group of preteens who were together. She was a highlight of that group and in the years following, she became the biggest pop star of the late 90’s. Now she is a 42 year old woman with mental issues, as people have pointed out and I feel Disney had a lot to do with it.
    45
  27. Jerry Seinfeld himself will tell you he was heavily influenced by Abbott & Costello, who were a classic comedy duo from the Golden Era of Hollywood. Lou Costello was a man with a less than stellar personal life, and many old comedians were depressed in their private lives. But you wouldn’t know this watching him and Abbott because they wanted to entertain. The very thing that Hollywood doesn’t want you to have now. Everything Hollywood does now is depressing, demoralizing, offensive and disrespectful. I can pick a skew of 90’s sitcoms and while a lot of them were cheesy and corny, you can definitely tell that people cared about what they were making. Today there’s an agenda and it has corrupted all western entertainment. It is sickening.
    44
  28. I honestly fail to understand why this man does not get more subscribers and more viewers. I'm subbed to his other channel which has over 350 thousand subs, but that is practically nothing compared to various political commenters here on YT who each have a million or more subs. Thomas Sowell is a genius. I wish this man can live for many more decades, because America is falling apart at the seams and our current leaders make it all too clear that they are making it worse.
    42
  29. I visited the UK in the 1990’s. It was a great country, full of British and Scottish with their sense of humor, wit, and tact. My dad visited a pub and it was a culturally enriching experience. That one British teenager who was arrested over ‘pronouns’ was all the proof I needed. The UK isn’t free.
    41
  30. You look to be a Gen Z in the nursing profession. My sympathies go to you. It’s really hard for Gen Z men to find any half decent woman.
    40
  31. Disney was a huge influence on anime, especially in the early going during the Post War era and beyond. Now it is one of my favorite genres, and unlike most western venues of entertainment, hasn't gone completely woke.
    39
  32. Millennials have this issue as well.
    37
  33. - Following shitty internet trends - Listening to crap music is now considered normal and acceptable - Conforming to either the extreme Left or extreme Right, with no ground for those in the middle. - Giving talentless hacks fame and money - Self entitlement 2006 - 2012 YouTube was awesome. Today, it's a monster consuming us that continue to use it.
    37
  34.  @Menstral  Same with the NBA. When it became clear a certain movement was more important than actually playing the sport, I stopped watching.
    35
  35. This makes me happy I live in a quiet town surrounded by older people, well away from youth culture in cities like NYC, LA and Miami. I’m not saying small towns don’t have their share of degenerates, but so far, we haven’t heard any activity of Fentayal or whatever new drug young people are using.
    34
  36. We live in clown world.
    33
  37.  @amazingtoad7244  Generation Z basically copies what Millennials started. High depression, high anxiety, low self esteem and little hope for the future. As someone in my 30s I have experienced depression, it runs in my family so it's nothing new. You kids were practically born into an era of high hysteria, which in fact started long before COVID-19 happened and before Trump was even president. I still remember the 9/11 attacks, George W Bush sending our young American troops into Iraq and Saddam Hussein getting captured and later executed. Most of you kids were only just starting preschool and kindergarten, so obviously you didn't see these problems until much later.
    33
  38. Generation Z sucks. They make shitty music, they whine about everything, they can't hold an actual job, their attention span is about the equivalent of a house fly, they think tattoos and looking like morons is a proper dress code. They can't act, their skills in interpersonal communication is next to non-existent, their standards are crap. They spend entire days in private Discord groups whining about how much they hate their own lives. I've actually been in some groups with these kids aged 14 - 22 years old, who are already spelling out doomsday for the world. They are incompetent, and act the way they do because people decided they should take out discipline in the education system. When this generation becomes the leaders, this entire world is screwed.
    32
  39. It’s garbage
    32
  40. Somebody has to be paying these activists to do this garbage.
    31
  41. Of course.
    31
  42. I never liked Beyoncé.
    29
  43. You can make the same argument for Full House, Seinfeld and Frazier. All sitcoms containing an all white main cast. Can’t have that today. Seinfeld gets my respect alone for calling these people out.
    29
  44. Amazon already bans people for leaving critical 1 star reviews and they removed all comments from being used on reviews. They also own IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and they removed their forums in 2017. Why? Nobody really knows.
    29
  45. I would be too if I were him. Seeing your culture get torn apart while you’re trying to keep your kids from seeing filth can’t be very easy.
    29
  46. All opportunities that we Millennials could not get. A Bachelors Degree isn't enough to land you a decent job anymore.
    28
  47. That’s why taking care of yourself is so important. People can become crippled from accidents, from not getting any exercise, or just have a set of bad genes that leave them crippled in their older age.
    27
  48. My father who is 70 years old was telling me the other day that schools were starting to fail back in the 1970’s. This is nothing new. But what I’ve noticed is younger generations in general are more narcissistic, self entitled, less knowledgeable of actual history, lack critical thinking, and are more prone to misinformation.
    27
  49. Always have been. It’s just that these idiots wouldn’t of had their voices heard past the living room when your grandparents were young.
    27
  50. That was the 1990’s. Times have changed. I wouldn’t take my niece or nephew there at this point. Disney is sending the wrong message to children.
    26
  51. Most memes nowadays aren't posted to get people to laugh, they're posted to get more people pissed off. The old meme culture had class, tact, and a sense of humor. The SJWs, "woke" people and assholes just took the memes and plastered them just so they could gain attention.
    26
  52. I miss when people didn’t take David Spade, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider movies too seriously and just watched them for quick laughs and comedy. Even Fast & Furious fans knew none of those movies were probably going to make the Oscars.
    26
  53.  @Paul71H  Boomers were literally born in the lap of luxury. There’s a stark difference in the attitude between the Greatest/Silent generations and the Boomers. The Greatest Generation is best associated for their role in World War II. Before that, they struggled with the Great Depression. That helped mold them into tough, responsible human beings who valued their possessions. Even entertainers like Jimmy Stewart were crafted and molded during this era. Baby Boomers were already born with stuff handed to them by their parents. They became the Hippies during the 60s/70s, and the younger ones became the Yuppies of the 80s. Completely different attitude in contrast to the Greatest Generation. Then they gained control of the economy in the 90s/2000s and helped lead it into the mess it is today. I find many Boomers intolerable. They lack the down to earth values their parents had, and they come off as narcissistic which is probably why so many Millennials and Zoomers come off as narcissistic. Before Millennials and Zoomers get egg on their faces, look at who raised them.
    25
  54.  @mrfluffybeehive  So far, I have yet to see any proper role model out of Generation Z. No Jackie Chan, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela or Gandhi in your generation. No role models. You guys got Kylie Jenner, somebody who is famous just for being famous who is absolutely useless, and wouldn't be relevant at all without social media. Your musicians just plain suck. Don't have the balls and courage that 2Pac had. Acting? Your generation is defined by stupid Vtubers who are overly obsessed with anime culture and morons trying to trend stupid internet challenges on Twitter. No Robin Williams or Jackie Chan, you know, two men who actually had talent, longevity and skill that generations of fans appreciated and looked up to.
    25
  55. I hate where America is going, but every time I listen to news like this I feel grateful to be an American and living in this country. The UK is completely hosed. I listen to the Lotus Eaters and everyone, including Carl, looks more depressed and demoralized than they did just two years ago. Just watch some older Lotus Eaters podcasts/videos from two years ago and look at them now. The difference is noticeable.
    25
  56. Boomers raised the Millennials. What were you expecting?
    24
  57. The 1950s to the 1990s was peak America. Nobody can change my mind on this.
    24
  58. I can give you some reasons. 1. The current administration doesn’t care for military veteran families that vote Republican. Since the Appalachia region is largely Conservative/Republican, they don’t care about mountain folk, especially in TN and VA which a portion of the South make their base. 2. Local communities understand people. Big government and big business (mega corporations) don’t. That’s why local restaurants have more personality and style than McDonald’s. 3. Rural towns and villages are low on the priority list for the federal government. The big reason New Orleans got the support it did nearly 20 years ago was because it is a major city. Your small towns and communities do not make the money. == All three points I made are accurate.
    24
  59. I was an autistic kid growing up and I was a computer geek. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, internet usage was largely restricted to computer geeks and nerds who shared a passion. I was one of those kids who was a geek, and I was one of those who jumped on Counterstrike when it was popular. If you ask me, when Mark Zuckerberg decided to expand Facebook sometime in 2006 - 2009 to where everybody was convinced to join, that was the beginning of the end of the old internet. This decision, along with the first iPhone that Steve Jobs proudly displayed back in 2007, ushered in an era where people became more self centered and arrogant, all the while being unaware of their surroundings. I was a Sonic the Hedgehog fan too, and we had communities with a diverse group of people. We dug deep into fandom, discussing the latest video games, the comic books, whatever tickled our fancy. We had actual conversations that provoked critical thinking. The difference between back then and now, among many other things was we were able to use critical thinking much more effectively. Reddit sadly is basically a hivemind. It's essentially the opposite of critical thinking, you're supposed to cater to one's whims and follow them. Otherwise, you will get 'canceled' by the moderators. Online gaming was more fun back then too. World of Warcraft in recent times is just sad. One of the worst online communities that I've encountered. Full of people trying to cancel others. Full of SJWs to point out that your view of things is wrong. American politics is discussed almost as much as the game itself. It happened a lot when I was doing PVP matches and even when I was just clearing out some dungeons. The old community of WoW wasn't like that. We all hanged out and some of us made a relationship outside the game. Try doing that today with any MMO or popular online game. Meanwhile, everyone is bitching about Aaron Rodgers while others are complaining about Lebron James being a bitch on Twitter. Who the fuck cares? Why should we concern ourselves with soulless celebrities? It's a fucked up world now.
    24
  60. Add Will Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Jim Carrey to that list.
    24
  61. Teachers don’t set boundaries for the kids either. They took discipline out of schools. What was common punishment in past generations is now considered “torture” and “abuse”. I watched old films from the 80s like Lucas, a group of teenage kids trying to fit in. Today the teenagers just emulate the latest challenge on Tik Tok, share it with their buddies and become drones. It must suck to be a teacher for today’s teenaged kids.
    23
  62. I was in my late teens when this happened in NYC. I remember it very well. Gen Z doesn’t know crap about it because they were either way too young or they simply weren’t around yet, which is the more likely option.
    22
  63. 2005 graduate here. My younger cousins didn’t have this crap either in 2010 - 2012. Seeing this shoved down my throat every day makes me angry.
    22
  64. It breaks my heart seeing how it went from a Wild West internet of mom and pop store operated ISPs to this corporate behemoth controlled by a few mega corporations showing us what they want us to see and not see.
    22
  65. The 80’s marked the decline. I just listened to Midnight Train to Georgia, a popular song done by Gladys Knight. No song of the past 20 - 30 years could replicate that.
    21
  66. Three shadowbanned comments.
    21
  67.  @wokeisajoke6806  Michael Jackson is another one I could think of.
    21
  68.  @bradley6386  There’s a lot of older women who do this as well. Plenty of 35 - 40 year old women who just sit there and make arguments because they feel like it. This is why the dating market is dead. One company or so controls all the big dating apps. Not only that, we now have AI infesting what were legitimate spaces.
    21
  69. Matt didn’t struggle. We did. Boomers had the best of things.
    21
  70. This Legion of Men guy would of been a perfect fit for a MTV reality show back in the 2000’s.
    21
  71. Terrible parenting. I’ve also noticed these kids have serious daddy issues.
    21
  72.  @Paul71H  Being forced to work two jobs while barely paying the apartment rent is what a lot of Zoomers are dealing with right now. Baby Boomers on the other hand were largely already given the resources necessary to start a family. Before Ronald Reagan threw in Reaganomics and started shipping jobs overseas, it was possible for the average person to work a factory job straight out of high school and earn good benefits. Many of the jobs were union, something that today’s corporations desperately want to demolish completely. NAFTA helped send jobs overseas and thus manufacturing jobs are largely a thing of the past. Baby Boomers also did not face mountains of college debt that Millennials did and now Zoomers. I struggled with a number of jobs and many of us still cannot afford homes. I’m in my late 30s now, and seeing young Zoomers struggle like this is not something I want to see moving forward.
    20
  73. There’s no point anymore. I’m in my late 30’s. Gone thru a few relationships. None of the women I was with cared about long term marriage, a home or a family. One hated children. Decades ago it was much easier to settle down and lead an average, happy life in America. Now there’s no point. Our system is broken and rotten to the core.
    20
  74.  @marty7442  College was mostly for people who were going to be lawyers, doctors, mathematicians, engineers and other difficult fields. College/University wasn't and was never meant to be easy. You had to do well and work very hard to gain a high position in those fields. In the 1950s - 1970s, manufacturing jobs came with union benefits, and the average male could get married and start a family. College nowadays is just brainwashing. Kids are graduating with no real understanding of how the real world works and instead they spew neo-Marxist agendas on social media so more dullards can subscribe to the mindset. I started noticing this behavior back in the 1990s. I had a feminist teacher who actively felt men were inferior. I reckon college is much worse nowadays, now that we're in the year 2023 and there seems to be no end in sight to the madness that has consumed our society.
    20
  75. This interview shown was made in 1995. Sowell was ahead of his time. Most of us who were around back then were just living normal lives, unaware of what was really going on.
    20
  76.  @EricSmith-gx7lu  Did a quick check up. Brie was born and raised in California. That’s one tick box checked off. Brie is a feminist. That’s another tick box checked off. I thought Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan were utterly annoying, but this new feminist wave of salty, angry Millennial and Zoomer women make those two look like respectable actresses in contrast.
    20
  77.  @EliteFireSaint  In the old days a 30 minute show would have 25 - 26 minutes of content, followed by 3 - 4 minutes of commercials. I recall watching The Simpsons when it was still worth a crap back in the early - mid 2000's, and I realized the show only lasted 20 - 22 minutes, with the rest being commercials. In around 20 - 30 years, 30 minute programs lost about 4 - 6 minutes of content. For 60 minute programs it was essentially over 12 - 15 minutes of commercials. YT back in 2005 - 2010 was great. It was for average people making content. Now it is controlled by giant corporations, big time influencers and famous politicians/celebrities looking to extend their garbage.
    19
  78.  @antonytye3484  Both you and Sowell are 100% correct.

  79.  @deathlesswitch9063  Says a disgruntled, butthurt Gen Z member.

  80. Mark has been virtually silent about a great many things. He will never acknowledge that his platform has been losing people for a long time now. Last time I went on his social media platform I encountered nothing but bots, shills and people who had no reason to be on there. So there’s no sense of community anymore. Not even to talk and share things with family. Every group I was a part of is dead. Now Mark wants us to engage in his own virtual reality experience, which sounds more authoritarian the further time moves forward. MySpace was the best platform, not your joke of a platform Mark. You have completely forgotten what it was like in 2004 when you were a college student wishing to make a platform for other college students to interact.
    19
  81.  @nope.5928  Not fun. At least you guys had a real childhood.
    19
  82.  @elladeon  None of what they show is any good. Modern romance movies are just tired, played out soap oprahs.
    19
  83. Steve Urkel was played by Jaleel White and I couldn’t of cared less he had black skin color. We watched him because he was funny. Now we got activists who claim that Carl Winslow and Uncle Phil were both trying to act too white.

  84. She is a salty, angry Millennial feminist. The very type of person who has taken over Instagram and TikTok.
    19
  85. The problem is western culture. In the 1950s and 1960s politics was largely restricted to the platforms they were catered for. John Wayne decided to go all political in the late 1960s and it landed him in hot water. Even over 40 years after his death, left wing liberals still hate him. Celebrities have no place in discussing politics. This applies to musicians. Since Kayne West came out and supported Trump he has been a target for the Far Left. Destructive political policies is what got us into this mess. Entertainers rarely, if ever, speak common sense in regards to politics. I have lost all respect for people like Whoopi Goldberg because all she does is shout leftist nonsense. She should of accepted her movie roles in Sister Act and be done with them.
    19
  86.  @TrineDaely  Which amounts to no real choice. Mom and pop stores are going away like flies on sticky paper.

  87. He supported the North when they wanted to abolish slavery. The South wanted to keep slavery. Lincoln in fact came from a northern state. What’s going on now is no different than someone spitting on their grandparents because of how their approach in life was different than what is commonplace today. This is disgusting and the fact Lincoln is even regarded as racist just shows how far we have fallen.
    18
  88.  @SheonEver Which is a joke because they will always project their feelings onto you.

  89. Disney was already woke before it became mainstream. I definitely put blame on Disney for "grooming" Miley Cyrus, along with many other young stars from the 2000's/2010's to become these hateful entities that we see them as today. Disney was always Hollywood to me, and Hollywood is one of the best when it comes to crafting BS narratives. The rest of America and the rest of the world eat them up, and this never stops to amaze me. A culture of fakeness (larger than life personalities acting on the world stage), abuse, grooming and extreme progressive ideologies has resulted in generations of brainwashed actors, would be actors and angry people behind the scenes. That's why Skid Row is a thing and has been for nearly a century. What Disney does behind the scenes is nothing new. People see the fame and fortune and get blinded by them.
    18
  90. How did things get this bad in these modern times?
    18
  91.  @Manolo_West  Most "normies" are boring. Funny how they used to say to people like me who were geeks, don't spend too much time on the computer. Nowadays, those same people are constantly on social media sharing bullshits opinions. The times have changed.

  95.  @mrnelsonius5631  That's the thing. My dad OWNED his beeper. My dad OWNED his Nokia brick phone. If it broke on him, he could take it to a phone shop or some place like Car Toys and pay for a new brick phone. A simple transaction. These days, you have to have your iPhone or Samsung with a provider. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile. The woman at the desk is spending a hour on you to try to give you the details. How to back up your phone. How to recover data from your old phone. Switching from AT&T to Verizon. Switching to T-Mobile. Finding out what cellular service plan I want to subscribe to. Does my cell provider give me proper coverage in my neighborhood? Can I get my two kids on a family plan? Does my wife need to get a new phone? That's the problem right there. You don't own anything. Your George Foreman grill now has electronics collecting data. Your washing machine is collecting data electronically as well. Your refrigerator has settings that may require looking up a YT video just to figure them out. It's chaos.

  96.  @siyano  People have kept their DVDs for over 20 years now. They are actually theirs to own. With livestreaming services movies, TV shows and video games come and go all the time. If that show is pulled from Amazon Prime, you are out of luck and must find another streaming service. Digital content isn't your own. If your account is banned or locked, you lose access to that content. It's as simple as that. Your smartphone is a prime example of why you don't actually own your phone. Which based on your comment, you completely fail to understand that.

  107. Gen Z has convinced me smartphones were a mistake. We should just scrap smartphones and social media apps and go back to HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP-coded forums, old YouTube, comment sections, and blogsites that require a direct connection or wifi signal on a desktop or laptop to work. I have had much more fun and interesting interactions online with people in an old comments section than ever over something like Twitter. I think what sets the old internet apart from social media is that social media is algorithm-based lowest common denominator pandering at all times and all the time and the average dumbfuck carries it around with them 24/7, whereas the old internet required some more brains to set up and be proficient at using, big corps had less reign over it, and maintaining your reputation on the old internet took effort instead of just pandering to an algorithm or worldview. Millennials were raised on an internet that was a treasure trove of free-flowing information and a frontier of interaction and opportunity, Gen Z was raised on an internet of algorithms, companies, and "influencers" telling them what to think in bite-sized easily digestible bits on heavily watered-down hollow shells of what websites once were. I speak that as a developer because we developers have to water everything down these days to pander to Gen Z's iPhone-wielding short attention span asses, a lot of programming and development concepts are becoming lost arts because developing something of quality isn't considered "profitable" anymore. From what I've heard computer science and computer skills classes are being removed from schools (even before COVID) and teachers and college instructors have had to tell their students how to copy and paste. Smartphones are absolute garbage excuses for computing devices, their workflow is shitty, processors suck and overheat easily, their storage space is pathetic, OSs are usually locked, they can't play decent games worth a shit (hence why games like Fortnite and Among Us are all the rage these days: devs have to make generic, repetitive, oversimplistic shit since that's all smartphones can fucking run), web browsing sucks, security and spyware galore, and not to mention room for modification is 0. Yet Gen Z fuckers will tell you that smartphones are better than PCs... somehow... and call you a "boomer" in response even though you are in your mid-upper 20s. Gen Z would rather subscribe to a hivemind, post shitty poorly-spelled 1-2 sentence posts, shit memes, go on cancelling crusades, and buy/trade/sell closed species adoptable in the art scene as a shitty trading card scam and throw all their earnings into the Crypto/Stock bubble than form an actual community with moderately intellectual discussion. Sorry if I am dwelling on this, I have always been passionate about tech and computers, am a dev, and have been a gamer for a long time, and Gen Z with their smartphone/social media addiction is rapidly moving the entire field in the wrong direction and is about to crash it directly into a dark age that will take YEARS, if not DECADEs, to recover from. Older generations are already skeptical or distrustful of computer tech/gaming and the Big Tech Monopoly power creep has been an ongoing problem, but Gen Z with their reckless and braindead behavior seems to be actively trying to cement those facts. And that isn't even touching on their cancerous politics. That is a massive rabbit hole, but it seems like they are either extreme right or extreme left with hardly any in between, but as I said that is a massive rabbit hole.

  124.  @AtomicVoid95  But it is right to outright take away discipline in schools? Is it wrong now to punish these kids if they get out of line? Much of what kids of the 80s and 90s went through is now considered torture. So the teachers basically took those punishments out for fear that angry parents would be breathing down their necks. I talked to an older guy in his mid 40s who was a football player as a kid in highschool. Since he wasn't one of the better players, his coach pitted him against the more talented players to try to improve his running game. Something like that now is considered bullying.

  131. There’s a few reasons for this, and one of them is the encroachment of the internet in the average persons life. I remember back in the mid 1990s in Junior High and eventually High School, kids would regularly talk and interact not only with themselves but also with teachers. We are witnessing first hand what happens when you give a little kid a smartphone. These kids going to college today were probably handed a phone 15 years ago. Now they’re completely inept when it comes to any interpersonal communication and it’s a stark contrast to those kids I remember 30 years ago.
    15
  132. I’m practically the same age as you Daykor and I still consider myself a 1990’s era liberal. I still hold onto the same ‘Live and Let Live’ perspective as I did back then. I’ll be 40 years of age and I’ve reached the point where not only do I not understand the next generation, I am actively arguing to them. Conservatives these days seem more fair and reasonable, unlike the modern leftists who insist that everything that isn’t in accordance with them must be censored and silenced.

  134. Well you have to understand, without Harry Cohn of Columbia, we wouldn’t of gotten The Three Stooges. People still cherish Marilyn Monroe, despite her personal life being shaky and having died over half a century ago. Frank Sinatra spent much of his career in Hollywood and Vegas, and was associated with the Mob. Still, despite this, he had a long standing music career and his music is still heard to this day. Then you have to account for Judy Garland, who played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, and the bad treatment she got from the studio system. You go back further, you get Charles Chaplin, himself a bit of a weirdo despite being a legendary silent screen star. Anyone who says Hollywood was innocent was flat out lying.
    14
  135. There are very few of these people left sadly. You listen to stuff like this from the 'Greatest Generation' (World War 2 generation, Frank Sinatra generation) and the 'Silent Generation'. They just seemed so much more honest, down to earth and grateful just for the things they have. As a middle Millennial we have basically become the victims of horrible stereotypes. It's so easy to pinpoint us as being narcissist and self loathing. There was none of that with Melvin. He was a regular guy trying to make a living back in the 1950s. And don't get me started on Zoomers.

  140. Probably one of the best comments I read on this website in a real long time. I'm around a decade older than you, because I graduated high school back in 2006. Those were the best days for social media. YouTube was young and fresh, people were flocking to new channels that had just started out of passion. MySpace had a community, used to be involved with several MySpace groups. I was one of the early users of Facebook, when Mark Zuckerberg still intended his website to be a place for college students to interact and meet up. The 2000s was still a generation where people still used the older boards and forums. By the time 2012 - 2014 rolled around, I gradually started noticing these old communities vanish, one by one. 2013 was the year Google transformed YouTube from the old personal layouts to the soulless, monolithic layout today, complete with a boring banner on top of your YouTube page. They signaled the end of a profile. Facebook also changed drastically too. Many people resented the fact that Barack Obama won his second term of president, and expressed their feelings loudly on Facebook. It was the first time I realized that people were beginning to "live in their own bubbles". A few years later, the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the Proud Boys movement come into prominence. All they have done is further separate people from each other. #BlackLIvesMatter isn't just a group of people wanting to see African Americans/minorities get equal opportunities, it is a set of political ideologies that conform to the radical Left. The Proud Boys movement in contrast conforms to the radical Right. The social media platform I once used regularly and enjoyed conversing with other people on turned into a corporate behemoth. Communities turned into a circle jerk of morons liking each others posts, posting clickbait topics, and talking down to anybody who had differing opinions. Twitter turned into the same thing. People I once used to follow and keep up with went political minded and starting spewing their shit for everyone to see. I refuse to "get with it", I refuse to "get with the times". Getting with the times means being angry and negative as everybody else. Why? Why should we indulge in such bad behavior? You made the right choice. Respect. This world needs more intellectually minded people like yourself.

I feel sorry for all the struggling parents right now trying to raise their little kids the proper way.

They’re not trying to overly insult one another, they’re not trying to be over arrogant. They’re presenting a real debate that is sincere, honest and frankly, wholesome. Debates today on television and on websites like YT are for the most part insufferable. It’s usually two people screaming at each other, using blatant insults, trying to tell the other person they are better in every way, the list goes on. This is such a breath of fresh air to listen to, and it just shows how much of a monster corporate media has become and how insufferable a lot of people are in discussing any serious issue.

  148.  @Paul71H  1972 was just after the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. Your Boomers were addressing concerns about the Vietnam War, while advocating for Peace. A number of them were not civil about it, there were race riots and the violence and cultural upheaval of the 1960s was still fresh in their minds. Yet throughout the 1970s and 1980s they inherited an economy that the Greatest Generation and Silent Generation molded, and then turned around and inherited the resources and economy for themselves. Generation X was the first to get sidelined, then came the Millennials and now the Zoomers are the target. Several Zoomers I know are barely getting by with their jobs, barely able to afford their place and they're paying expensive college tuition on top of that. In 1972 Baby Boomers were living under a healthier economy and ecosystem. My 70 year old father was able to land managerial positions at various manufacturing jobs after he had finished two years of community college. With his income he was able to have a proper family with myself included as the child. At 36 years old my peers are just now beginning to get somewhere with actually owning a home, and many of us still can't do that. Inflation has gone thru the roof these past couple years and our wages are not keeping up with the costs. What happened back in the 1970s to early 1980s can't be compared with the COVID-19 pandemic and the upcoming economic recession that we have been dealt with.
    13
  149.  @Paul71H  I don’t agree with this. I read a lot of history. Yes, the US economy was on a downward spiral, and there was a 1987 recession that hit a lot of families hard. I’m not just speaking about the economy, I’m also speaking about our culture. Our culture in this current paradigm we’re living through is a joke. It’s a culture war between the Far Left and the Far Right. The youth in their teens and 20s are being pushed to either political side. Our corporate culture values quickness and efficiency at the cost of forcing people to work two jobs to keep their home. In the 70’s and 80’s, you could be a regular member of society able to have a spouse and two children. Today many of us in our 30’s have decided we can’t have kids, because we cannot afford child care. It’s no wonder birth rates have plummeted. Unfortunately, the average college student will be paying tens of thousands in tuition before their education is complete. A summer job while studying as a full time student doesn’t cut it anymore. Baby Boomers were able to do this with far less stress. NAFTA has done much to damage our job infrastructure by sending jobs overseas because of cheaper labor. Kids are now expected to go beyond Bachelors Degrees because they are a dime a dozen and if you got too much experience and education, the hiring staff will say “you’re overqualified”. This is a system that is destined to crash sooner or later.

Kids unwilling to learn who become criminals because nobody taught them to be productive citizens of society.

All of the women my age or whom have hit 40 years old have been used up. Many are too old to properly procreate. They’re not interested in family, and several don’t like nor care for kids. They spend excessive amounts of time on social media, which is where they get a lot of their toxic ideas from. I’m not interested in MGTOW either, I can live my life independently without having to join them. It’s just sad we have reached this point.

None of the LOTR trilogy could be made today.

Even something that should be straightforward, like gym memberships, requires smartphones and for you to download an app. They took away clipboards, paper and being able to physically sign.

It was much easier to sign a paper, give the person up front your physical cash, and just work out for the day.

  185. American society was starting to change around the 2000s. Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the economy as a whole, just the fast food business. As someone who worked at McDonalds back in the mid - late 2000s, I can tell you from experience that as recently as that time, working for a number of these fast food companies was simply a better experience. Now, in my late 30s, it's simply more comforting to spend time with my family at home than it is to bother with any of these big corporations out in public who just want your hard earned money. I used to love going out with friends, spend time at the bar or nightclub, or pay money at a restaurant for good food. Today that experience is mostly gone. Being born in the early - mid 1980s, people like myself mostly keep a small group of friends and family. Gone are the days of having a big gathering at Pizza Hut, or Chuck E Cheeses. It was fun, I remember that experience back in the 90s. Spending time at home, drinking beer and watching the Superbowl has been more fun than anything any fast food place has given me in over 10 years. The American corporate model has utterly killed Pizza Hat along with all the other fast food places. You remember Ronald McDonald, and Dave from Wendy's trying to get you to try their products? That's all in the past now.
    11
  186.  @matthew5226  You were born too late to really appreciate the family goodness of Pizza Hut or McDonalds. The older dude in this podcast video could relate to that experience which was the 80s and early 90s. Supersize Me came out in 2004, so it's a bit of an old documentary that is still relevant to our society. I worked at McDonalds to get thru high school and college in the mid 2000s and I can tell you we were already starting to cheapen the fast food experience. We phased out Ronald McDonald little by little, and corporate was wanting to get rid of the Play Place for the kids. Why? To save time and money, even though they were already making a lot of profit. What happened to the fast food industry is no different than what happened to Hollywood, television, video games and so forth. Just like you can find local restaurants that care about your business and well being, you can find indie films that encourage you to learn and perhaps even try out new concepts. The big corporations like McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's stopped caring about the "comfy" aspect a long time ago. I was there to witness the change first hand, and these days I certainly won't let my kids go to these places that look more like areas for prisoners.

  191. I have two clips of Anger Management (2003) with Adam Sandler that I uploaded here a long time ago for entertainment purposes. The Amazon Prime version of the film censored out a line John Turturro made in one of the movie clips I uploaded. My friend brought this to my attention so I had to witness it myself. Sure enough the line was completely removed. I still have the DVD of the classic film with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. No censorship in it, presented exactly as it did when it was in movie theaters back in the day.

  192.  @scottbaron  Absolutely true. The kid shown at 4:10 in this video was your primary audience back then. The old Windows and Apple computers required a bit of knowledge to know how to use them. Nowadays the morons on their iPhone and Androids can access anything with just a few button clicks. The same people who were too impatient and too stupid to know how to use dial-up internet and navigate a WIndows 95/98/XP computer back in the day.

  193. I only just discovered this video. While this man who commented on it has probably long moved on to other videos and things, I have realized that my future as a Millennial (1981 - 1996) was already pulled out from under me before I was even born. You just have to take a look at your local town. How many Walmarts are there? How many McDonalds are there? How many Home Depots are there? My small town is only 10,000 - 12,000 people. Barely a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of America. But I have watched so many small businesses and stores close, only for giant corporations to move in. COVID-19 has only forced more smaller businesses to close up shop. While Walmart is raking in more money than they ever have before. My solution? To move out of America. I’d rather start a new business elsewhere, than watch a once great country collapse where young people under 40 are struggling to even have basic necessities. Ronald Reagan from what I heard from older people wasn’t great as a politician in California either. Yet he was a Hollywood actor who starred in mostly low budget, forgettable film flicks. Thank you for speaking out on something that most people fail to address and understand.

I saw them regularly around 2011 - 2012. These 18 - 20 year old women were age 5 - 7 respectively. Barely past kindergarten age. They had phones for over a decade now. Why else are they unable to keep eye contact and maintain a conversation?

Like you said with your blizzards in New Hampshire, you didn’t know the answers for everything, you bonded with your friends which developed interpersonal communication. Today in 2022, we are literally living in a dystopia.

I recommend you read Generation Me, a book published in 2006 that goes in depth about Millennials and their self centered attitude on virtually most anything.

  215.  @Catubrannos  This was commonplace with the Greatest Generation (Frank Sinatra). They endured the hardships of the Great Depression and World War II, and were largely responsible to the Postwar Boom they brought to the United States. Starting in the 1960s - 1970s, the tide started to change. Woman gradually become more self entitled and arrogant. Now we can basically guarantee that most men in today's society are weak. Weak to the point where it's the woman coming up strong. But all for the wrong reasons. You will see a lot of what used to be if you go back and watch old movies and tv shows. In a lot of modern movies I've seen, the men argue with the women, but the men just become more weak. That isn't moving society, that is pulling it backwards. Sadly, it's far too late to make the necessary changes.

Trying to get a home in any of these places is like giving up your arms and your legs to pay for expensive medical bills. Find a place with more affordable housing. Do some research on the types of jobs available. Seek out and work a trade. Going to university for a fancy piece of paper is a complete waste of time. Not only that, but you're going to be paying $10,000 - 100,000 worth of student debt, which basically eliminates your disposable income along with all the bills and expenses you have to pay regularly.

  219.  @Buckshot99 University used to be strictly for people who pursued higher academia for limited professions that required a degree. Most people before 1970 - 1980 did not have a degree. They worked straight out of highschool, doing manufacturing, factory or office job work which all enabled them to start families. No degree was needed. The system requiring kids to have formal education for entry level jobs was a drastic mistake. You are paying over $100,000 for a Bachelor’s and you will be broke while searching in the job market.

  231.  @manictiger  He’s not going to listen to you. I’ve spoken to him already and he basically comes off as a crusty Boomer who doesn’t care regardless. So there’s no point trying to tell him anything. As a Millennial in his mid 30s, we still cannot afford any decent home. I’ve accepted the fact that I’ve been forced to live with friends and some family because living paycheck to paycheck is a stressful life. And I have a university degree to top it off. If I want to finish graduate school that’s more money I have to pay that I can’t afford. Student loans are a complete joke, systematically cultivated by the government. You can no longer file for bankruptcy from student loans. I’ve worked since I was 16, and my work life is now over half my lifetime. And the Boomers who were able to have perfectly happy families back in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s are still putting their foot down on us. I didn’t ask for this crap. I didn’t ask for diversity hires to talk crap to me because I don’t agree with the status quo. Striving for something greater is basically pointless.

  236.  @EmmaLouise91  I assume this was the early 2000s. Honestly though, while I think too many people look back at those days with rose tinted goggles, to a degree, I think it was a better time for a lot of kids. Our medical leaders at least didn't seem to shove down this gender ideology, which wasn't a thing back 20 years ago. Only the most insane and extreme of people would even suggest it, and if they did they were simply laughed at. I'm 36 years old and I'm seriously at the point where I don't even know if I want kids at this point. I have a 10 year old niece and 7 year old nephew, who thankfully are being raised properly without being subject to this nonsense. I blame the education system, the leaders running America and western society, and an entire generation of neglectful, self loathing parents who aren't willing to let their kids become proper adults.

  238.  @American-Motors-Corporation  Maybe in the MySpace generation it was going that way, but before that (1990’s to roughly 2002 - 2003) the internet was pretty decentralized. Corporations did not have a hand on the internet probably because they didn’t see much profit with it. The old internet was dominated by social geeks, social rejects and computer nerds that likely either lived in their parents basement, or lived an isolationist lifestyle. That is the internet I miss, and it is long gone. Now you have a small handful of corporations dipping their fingers into the pie. Styx already brought up the saturation of content in this video he just made. I joined this website back in March 2007. What I see today is a boring, hollow shell of its former self, tainted by faceless corporations and an incompetent government system that has all helped YT turn into a PG-13 environment.

  239. Sowell himself has explained this many times. Black families prior to the 1960’s were more intact, partly due to segregation laws. After the 1960’s and after Johnson’s Society program, blacks started to see more one parent households. By the 1980’s and 1990’s, one parent households were very commonplace.

And when I see they are written by women, it all makes sense.

  250. Explains why older generations seemed more humble and understanding despite most not receiving any former education. Younger generations seem to lack real education despite being college graduates. The amount of Millennials and Gen Z that are overly aggressive and angry either from horrible parenting, poor education or both is astounding.

  251. Not only this, they were more humble and were grateful for what they had, even when it wasn’t much. When I look at rich black celebrities/athletes like Lebron, who continue to rant on social media, I get sick to my stomach. These people deserve nothing.

  252. I remember things started changing around the time the iPhone first came out. You won't remember, because you're only 19, I was 19 back in 2007 when the smartphone was introduced by Steve Jobs. We were the first generation to really put smartphones to heavy usage, particularly when Obama was about to get elected as president back in 2008. It was great to be able to game with your friends on Call of Duty back in circa 2008 - 2012ish. Today I just can't bring myself to play Call of Duty online anymore. Too many drama queens, I've basically muted everybody because I can't stand to hear their voices in an online video game. I loved internet and video games in general, but the internet is utterly killing us. Going outside and signing off the grid is the only real way to escape reality now, as strange as that sounds. We used to be a lot more social back in 2006 - 2011. Today, everybody stares into their computers and smartphones. Pretty depressing.

Now that we’re older, approaching middle age and some of us closing in on 40 years old, it disgusts many of us that so many of these IPs had to be changed. Let the kids have their own stories. Let them have their own fun. Taking IPs that were big in our childhoods and then twisting them for a newer generation isn’t doing anybody a favor.

They have no purpose. They're so weak they can't even form a relationship with a girl, or vice versa. Their hatred of children also applies to their hatred of the opposite sex, because they were brainwashed. As somebody in my mid 30s, I was lucky enough to be able to experience a reality before everything went to shit. America is dying. Canada, Australia, the UK and the rest of the western world is following suit. Somebody said it best. "When America sneezes, the rest of the world gets a whiff of it". This is completely true.

Kids get jammed into cramped classrooms, they can't learn because other kids are causing disruption. The few bright kids who want to learn are put at a significant disadvantage, the troublesome kids are benefiting because the teacher is too scared to enact any disciplinary action. It's a broken system, and it's the main reason why every proper parent needs to homeschool their children.

When I say "Generation Z sucks" I don't mean everybody in that generation, as I've known some pretty nice kids who weren't always offended. But the lack of self confidence and lack of self responsibility is really telling. I blame the Baby Boomers. I can't stand a lot of Millennials either. Gen Z is basically picking up where the Millennials left off. America is definitely falling. Greed and selfishness is tearing us apart, while so many of us can't even get adequate health care, let alone health insurance that is actually affordable.

Given his love for mainland China, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Canada has become more authoritarian. 30 years ago I would of considered the thought of seeing Romania off limits, due to the Soviet Union’s control of it for several decades. But times have changed. Romania of today resembles more like what America and the UK were back in the 1950’s - 1980’s. Both were prosperous cultures, with the UK giving us the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Monty Python. Likewise, our culture had Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry.

  293. I live near Portland Oregon and it’s the exact same story over here. Used to go shopping at the mall, even did some ice skating when I was much younger. Those fond memories are drifting away as more radicals come to Portland to destroy everything else. Vandalism, high crime, and a police force that won’t respond to 911 calls can only spell disaster.

  294.  @billselznick1040  That’s because underground artists and bands who generate little attention care more about the quality of the music than simply for the hits. Top 40 lists haven’t been good in over 20 years now. Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, all cookie cutter garbage dwelling in mediocrity. There is little known music from the 1970s - 2000s era that I discover every day and add to my playlist. I don’t restrict myself to one generation of music. Neither should you.

  295.  @ルイ-f4g  I doubt most people here care about Thomas Sowell, which is a shame. He is one of the last people to to be able to debate politics without being overly divisive. Everybody else, including Oliver Anthony, just know how to divide. Oliver’s level of knowledge is nothing in contrast to Thomas Sowell.

  296.  @yadevk8025  I feel you, and I have the same opinion. We’d be breaking champagne bottles and dancing down the streets if we could afford homes the way the Boomers did back in the 1970’s - 1990’s. Instead, I’ve had to work two different jobs to keep myself from getting kicked out because I can’t afford to always pay bills.

  297.  @gatergates8813  Some people aren’t going to like this comment, but being bullied actually adds character. How? Because the kid learns resistance. The only time I ever went to a teacher was when I knew I couldn’t defend himself. Defending thyself is important, and sadly young people today weren’t taught that. They allowed the schoolyard bully to abuse them, and now they act offended on Discord because someone didn’t use the right pronouns.

Our society was already becoming politicized back in the 2000s. Even during that time's more radical, intense moments, they felt like nothing compared to now. We now have a new generation of young adults in their late teens, early 20s who are fully buying into the bigotry and are thus so politically charged it is becoming more difficult for me to engage in a conversation with them. Just because you don't agree with someone else, doesn't mean you get to silence them. That is a Communist, Fascist type of thinking. And this is the direction our society has been taking. I have been canceled by both the Left and the Right. I find myself without a side these days. As a Centrist, I'm not wanted by either party.

Today you can make an opinion on Joe Biden's butt crack, or comment on the New England Patriots putting out a subpar performance on a football game they played last week.... somebody will read that comment getting offended. Yes, I have actually seen people get deeply offended over these kind of discussions, many of which should be absolutely trivial and non important.

The middle aged women seen in old black and white shows like Leave it to Beaver and Ozzie & Harriet experienced true hardship.

  319.  @eekay3646  This is exactly what the guy at Apple is doing. Tim Cook is no visionary. He hasn’t introduced anything special to Apple nor the tech industry in general. He served as executive Vice President for worldwide sales and operations. That alone should tell you about his background and how Apple is being run. It’s all about the money. If you don’t have a Master’s Degree or some other form of higher education, a lot of these companies won’t even consider you. That’s why so many young people under 30 - 40 years old end up paying thousands in student debt and work back breaking minimum wage jobs while living in a bad apartment. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

  322.  @republitarian484 America did this… decades ago. Your average American did not attend college in the early - mid 20th century. That was reserved for people studying law, medicine, engineering, biology and other illustrious fields. The average man worked a physical job, whether it be factory or manufacturing. The pay was good. The wife could stay at home. A middle class home, wife and kids was entirely possible on one income. Older generations received training on the job and did not pursue higher education unless they had a good reason to. Millennials were shafted because they were told to get degrees just to apply to entry level jobs. This was not the case with past generations.

  333.  @backintimealwyn5736  You're speaking of the Millennials and the Zoomers. I don't know how old Carl is but if I had to guess he is a younger Gen Xer. They weren't exactly great at families, but they weren't born with this fear and outright hatred like a lot of Millennials and Zoomers are. Gen X is no longer relevant to our society today, but they've been watching this culture war play out while they sit in the bleachers. Zoomers to me are mostly trending the path the Millennials started. Millennials back in 2005 - 2007 were labeled the "Me" generation. The generation that got its real start on social media, and we have seen how social media has influenced and to some extent brainwashed an entire generation. I used to think MySpace was facepalm 15 years ago, but it can't even compare with the filth and disgust TikTok and Tinder are. MySpace was child's play in comparison. The Baby Boomers got lucky. They earned themselves jobs and families back in the 1970s - 1980s, with union benefits so for them owning a home and having a family with two kids was easily possible by the time they were 30. Those days are long gone. Millennials are just beginning to grab administrative positions and authority, but at what cost? I'm in my mid 30s and many of us still don't want seats of authority. We don't want to be criticized while the old crusty Boomers and the nihilistic Zoomers attack us from both fronts. I'm childless, don't have a family of my own and I'm just working to make ends meet, nothing more. Turns out the degree I worked hard for back in 2005 - 2009 was largely an worthless expensive piece of paper. Took a long time to pay off the college debt I accumulated. It's going to take a lot of courage, commitment and strife to get us out of the mess we are in.

  336.  @vegasgirl3538  None of this is new. I went to school in Southern California back in the 90's and there was always disruption. I stayed far away from the kids who had gang affiliations, but the kids who were at these highschools who wanted to actually learn were always at a big disadvantage. The teachers had to invest time to discipline the bad kids. This was wasting valuable time in actually teaching their chosen subject. Mixing the bad kids in with the good kids was always a bad idea.

  337.  @landrypierce9942 Well yes and no. There’s stuff like gangs shooting each other that is typically age restricted but even some of the PG-13 stuff on here isn’t exactly appropriate. YT isn’t social media technically, even though some people think it is.

It’s not just the lack of tools needed to fix nor the lack of know how, it’s also the components themselves being very difficult to work on. It’s entirely by design. Even old toilet components dating back to the 1950’s - 1970’s can still work, because they are easily adjustable and the material is metal, meaning it will last.

You acknowledge the dangers of “wokeness”. Not related to the topic (or anything Thomas Sowell has said), but I visited Vancouver BC a couple weeks ago. I was practically in the richest zip code in western Canada. And the eyesores that the Chinese are building as expensive condos (that no average person can ever afford) made me physically sick. It wasn’t home sickness, it was seeing how much had changed in just the past 10 - 20 years. The Canada I loved in the 90’s is gone. Didn’t need a passport to enter the country, just a regular ID. And now you need a passport. There is far more surveillance and security in Canada now, thanks to the Chinese Communist Party that has taken root there partially due to Justin Trudeau. Your statements reflect a threat we are about to face. “Weak men create hard times” just about sums up what you’ve seen these past few years.

What’s sad is at 38, you should have found your sense of self a long time ago. But you are a product of your time when kids were very live and let live. That was the 90’s perspective that I still hold to this day. Too bad kids today are growing up with woke values, which is going to leave them damaged and scarred.

  385. That's because those old websites were made by people who were passionate about web design and posted their content. Money was basically a pipe dream back then. Sure, it may have cost some money to set the website up and keep it running, but a majority of people back then did it because they enjoyed making those websites. Today, people make websites to either conform to an algorithm, or because they were told to by their superiors. Now you got hoards of people using Wix/WordPress that would probably otherwise never make websites, they're basically templates for dummies who couldn't be bothered to learn actual programming and coding. GeoCities required some brains and knowledge to use properly. People just make websites now to appeal to an algorithm.

If you want to know why society is socially awkward and fractured, many of the answers point to them. The kids, as much as I don't like them, aren't really to blame. It's the people who allowed them to be brainwashed.

  396. What more did you expect when they were told as kids to work for a liberal arts college degree and work for some faceless, monolithic corporation? They were never given enough room to breathe in the first place. That’s why they are nihilistic, suicidal, unpredictable and angry because they were tossed to the side in their youth. As a Millennial who is autistic who was a computer nerd and antisocial, I was labeled an outcast. Looking back, part of that was my insecurities and inability to know my own identity as a child. Nowadays the poles have switched. When I was a socially awkward high functioning autistic child, people went outside more and talked. Today I’m much better at interpersonal communication and can hold my own, while society has decided to shut itself inside bedrooms and living rooms mindlessly playing video games and live-streaming Amazon Prime.

  403. You can spend years at college and get the wrong degree. I knew a few guys in their 30s who were working a dead warehousing job because they couldn't get anything with standard business degrees. What I've noticed out of these kids in the 13 - 25 year old age group is how prone they are to automatically block if you come in and make a little criticism. Instagram and TikTok have brainwashed them. Looks mean everything, your skills and talents mean nothing. Getting a Master's Degree will cost most people tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Sure, you can get a scholarship, but they don't help much. Loans? You still have to pay off the fucking tuition anyway, so you might as well be in debt. They hate kids because they were told to hate kids. They hate America because they are told to. I fucking hate these kids for all the reasons other people do. But at the same time, I feel sorry for them. There is no future, not a good one anyway.

  419. Steve Allen was a member of the Greatest Generation who was known for his work in the early days of television. He was very active in the 1950’s, was a regular on several shows and would travel from Los Angeles to New York City and back again. He had children that he loved, married a beautiful wife (Jayne Meadows) and had a long fulfilling career in show business. He had it made. And despite all this, Steve Allen was humble and could admit to his faults, as this video indicates. This is what’s missing today. If more people today were like Steve Allen, some of us would probably be in much better places.

  429. The internet was a lot different 20 years ago. Prior to Friendster and MySpace, it was generally seen as a luxury. Most people only checked their e-mail, rarely did they surf. Also, you had to have some semblance of knowledge in hooking up a computer to the internet and actually connecting. Old dial-up internet was a pain to set up, you had to type in your username and password literally every time. So that filtered a lot of the morons. Nowadays I can grab my iPhone 11, Android of whatever and basically instantly access what I want with a swipe. Sure, there's more easily accessible information now, but it has dumbed down a lot of people. It doesn't help that every other website is the exact same and has the same format.

But paying some sweatshop worker is much cheaper then paying actual Americans to do manufacturing work, complete with AI to do the heavy duty stuff. The entire system is rotten.

The old days were better. Maybe I'm just much older now and no longer a college aged kid, but I definitely recall having a lot more fun back in the day when 4Chan was fairly new and YouTube just came out. Thanks to the efforts of despicable people like Anika Sarkeesian and Alex Jones, and our culture becoming more of a dystopian society, we are more afraid to voice our thoughts on even trivial things. I'm an active member of a number of gaming communities and discussing politics is becoming just as commonplace as talking about the games themselves. Other subjects like sports are falling under the same crap. Whenever some big sport stars like Lebron James open their mouth on Twitter, people are suddenly divided. Meanwhile, Twitter and Reddit do all that they can to snuff out and cancel the opposing opinion. If you are not a part of the majority opinion, you are silenced. That right there is seriously wrong, and is proving to be outright dangerous. I don't need to explain how dangerous and damaging that line of thinking is.

If you want actual 1950’s footage then look up old newsreels. It wasn’t nearly as pleasant and wonderful as people think it was.

Entire bodies donned with tattoos, teeth lined with braces and gold colors, piercings all over their face.

I’ve seen a number of 1960’s game shows and most of the contestants did not receive a former education. They focused on family, and if they were truly willing, they could attend higher education. Most in higher education are dumbed down, narcissistic, insulting, rude, condescending and frankly dishonest. What higher education is today is not what it was over half a century ago.

  449.  @RJ-wx3fh  I think part of this problem today started with smartphones. Back in 2007 when I was working my way towards a college degree I don't recall too many college kids having a smartphone. Steve Jobs was making headlines for advertising his first generation iPhone which for the time, seemed like a major tech breakthrough. None of us would predict the impact of smartphones on our western society. Looking back, I personally think forcing everybody to walk to a desktop computer and directly hook up a line to the internet was better. High school and college kids respectively didn't spend as much time on the internet, for one it was far slower 20 years ago, and two it wasn't used for much outside of e-mail and casually browsing the web for fun. Friendster was the social media platform of the time and it never got big like MySpace. Most of us young folks had outside lives, jobs to commute to and actual family to interact with outside of electronics. Nowadays I can't even walk down the local city street without seeing a bunch of 14 - 25 year old kids stare into their smartphones. Good chance it's a iPhone 13 Max or whatever smartphone they have on them. Got to be trendy and keep up with the tech. It's an absolute joke. Tech and the internet are killing society. I'm beginning to think the Amish and people who are looking into a Kaczinski philosophy are more in tune with preparing for actual challenges. Not screaming over a video game, or being upset that your friends didn't approve of the TikTok video you sent them the other night. Modern society is boring, materialistic and shallow.

  456.  @propheinx2250 The 1940s brought the Baby Boom era. What was prominent back then was working class men were not treated like dirt. Even minorities such as blacks in 1940’s America could still find jobs and their communities. They were segregated from white people, because that was the Jim Crow era back then. Men were encouraged to finish school, engage and marry a woman, have two to four kids, and live in a middle class home. Today, that is no longer possible. Obviously there is something going on, because while hard times in previous eras led to higher births, our current era is not giving us more children. Rather it is doing the opposite, thanks to anti male rhetoric being spread all throughout media and the internet.

Most people basically went on for maybe a hour, or two hours at most, then signed off and went on with their day. Those same people from back then are now practically glued to their screens.

  467.  @SomeCanine  You need to look at the other side. These young Zoomers were being told to isolate themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic. Does that help them in the long run? Of course it doesn't. I have a sister in her 40s and a brother-in-law in his mid 40s who are trying their hardest to keep their kids away from all the nonsense that has affected identity politics and gender ideology. The kids are minors obviously, and it becomes extremely important that they don't fall into a trap. Say what you will on past generations, but despite the nostalgia running strong, I truly believe the 1980s and 1990s was simply a better time for the kids. The 2000s was when things started going downhill. As Millennials, we were deliberately lied to and misled by school officials and doctors. My generation is now in a rough spot. We were supposed to be good role models for the Zoomers. Instead, we're grooming them and we're having them believe that looks matter and that they need to be active on Instagram and Twitter. All while our entire system has gone downhill from a combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and a general lack of empathy. Our medical institutions are now run by profit. The same institutions are telling our kids to consider changing genders, while the parents are either unwilling to be with their kids or they're sending them to a public school system destined for failure. Probably a good reason why so many young people are 'beta males' and 'man children' rather than actual men who have critical thinking and are self sufficient on their own.

  481.  @bad-girlbex3791  Sunset Boulevard is an all time classic because it really brings out the dark side of Hollywood. Buster Keaton made a cameo appearance, who himself was one of the great silent film comedians along with Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd. Charlie Chaplin himself ended up under scrutiny in the 1940s and he was labeled a Communist. The rest of his life story was tragic, and was ousted out of Hollywood and the United States, as well as the UK. Hedda Hopper played herself in Sunset Boulevard, and her track record as a gossip columnist was stepping on plenty of peoples toes. She loved controversy and stirring up trouble with the Hollywood stars. Louella Parsons was her bitter rival who had her own tricks up her sleeve. Hollywood was always a dirty, scummy, despicable place behind the scenes. I love the film The Wizard of Oz as much as anyone else, but I can't get past the horrible treatment Judy Garland got by the makers and her abuse by the studio system. Living in a mansion as a recluse pretty much makes you disconnected from society. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that Hollywood has a long track record of tragedy, lies, despair and suffering. Norma tried to make a comeback sure, but like so many others, didn't quite make it. By the time Sunset Boulevard released in 1950, Hollywood already had 20 - 30 years of scandals, tragedies and despair behind it.

I was more often than not, called out, insulted, and cast out because they saw me as a troll, which I was. The older people I used to talk to on the internet around 12 - 15 years ago seemed to have a much thicker skin. I learned a lot of lessons from them. Don't feed the trolls. Have personal responsibility. Don't judge everything by its cover. I made a lot of inflammatory comments back in the day. And they weren't taken seriously. I found that to be fun as a 14 - 15 year old kid, because at the end of the day, the internet wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Today, I find a lot of people who don't even know what inflammatory comments are, so they take the bait and all of a sudden they're offended.

  490.  @Dousch  I used to think CD Projekt Red was safe from this nonsense. Hollywood California turned on itself decades ago. What I didn't expect was to see a gaming company in Poland bend the knee. So apparently, nobody learned about the Cold War Era (1946 to December 25th, 1991). As much as I don't like a number of Baby Boomers, they understood the threat of the Cold War. This is something most Millennials and Zoomers fail to understand. Many of them weren't alive in 1991, and for the older ones, they were kids in elementary school so that stuff was unknown to them anyway. And yet we have young women under 35 - 40 years of age advocating for a Communist Socialist system. Not too different from the Soviet Union regime, not too different from Stalin's ideals. Chairman Mao is another figure, I guess young people aren't aware of him either.

  491.  @virvum_cypher  I’m speaking of the old days. 1970’s and 1980’s. As a history buff, I learned that 30 minute shows on average were 24 - 26 minutes, including intro and end credits. For 60 minute shows it was 48 - 52 minutes. By the early 2000’s the amount of actual content was highly diminished. The American version of the TV show The Office comes to mind. Episodes ran for no more than 22 - 23 minutes. It was even worse for The Simpsons.

Gen Xers have mostly sat on the sidelines, making little purpose and whom have practically raised the Zoomers. Millennials are still lost, with the grateful few who have kids and a home just trying to survive in today’s Biden inflated economy. Things look bleak for us in western society.

They can't even recall more recent US history.

  515. I feel what Sowell said at 3:19 in this video clip is particularly interesting. In 1938, American society retained a certain level of class and respect. Many blacks in NYC during this era who were greatly interested in the show business profession were encouraged to work in nightclubs and theaters. Despite being segregated, they valued family, good entertainment, unity and respect. By 1983, the black family was torn apart. Hip Hop was the new music genre for young black people. Crime in NYC in the 80’s was notably bad. Many young blacks had no interest in education or the arts, despite the fact there were more of them in 1983 than in 1938.

  517. I came up from the late 80’s to the late 90’s/2000’s. Kids now lock themselves in their rooms playing video games, or engaging with their friends on face cam. Decades ago, we were more interactive. Sure, we still had Nintendo consoles, but gamers back then were a niche. A lot of kids didn’t actually play games, they were in treehouses or they were simply riding around town on their bicycles.

  522. I'm the same. I had my best experiences back in 2004 - 2010ish. We had a bunch of MySpace groups back in the day and we all just hanged out like a typical MTV gathering. No politics. Not as many drama queens polluting the environment. Today, I typically run into morons from Twitter and elsewhere who want to convince you that you are wrong. And it doesn't matter what subject you're discussing. Then I look at their profile, see their face and I discover they are a fucking 'neckbeard' moron, early to late 20s. I cannot fucking stand neckbeards. It's a very derogatory term, perhaps inflammatory. Neckbeards are the rage now. I'm sure you've run into some of them.

  539. Boomers and Gen Xers have been noticing this for decades. Millennials and Gen Z have only picked up on this in recent times, and this has only gotten worse. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I’ve only recently noticed a sign that Hollywood was already talking down to white people. Back then I just didn’t know any better because I was just a kid that attended elementary school in the 80’s. In various films I watched decades ago, it was quite clear that feminist propaganda was already rising. The 90’s marked a feminist movement that was all about women being independent at the cost of men. The television show Sex in the City comes to mind, and it warped a lot of young womens minds in regards to tossing out traditional families. None of this is new. But unlike the past, the corporate media no longer has to keep it subtle.

  540. I think that’s the point of this video. The 1950’s era family in that photo didn’t look like they had much. A few possessions, but nothing like the amount of stuff the average family has now. That older family did however have tradition. Dad was the guy working to provide funding while the Mom was the housewife looking after the children. Analog TV with dials. Three channels to choose from. Church on the weekends.

  546.  @stricknine8623  So you don’t like the guy. Fine. Whatever. Might as well toss out the fact that Chinese built a lot of railroads, and Blacks in the South practically invented Jazz and Rock n Roll. Rock n Roll started out as a music genre for blacks, before Elvis Presley and company made it popular with Whites back in the 1950’s. While we’re on the subject, let’s claim that Ronald Reagan was great for America, while every single Democrat president after him, including Clinton and Obama, did nothing but destroy this great country.

I don’t agree with a good chunk of his commentary, but his demeanor and response prove he never was a real conservative. Most of us commenting probably aren’t either, we’re just fed up with the lies and manipulation by the Left, which is largely to do with our mega corporations and federal government. I don’t know what else to tell you mate.

  557.  @taskcasburn6086  Ronald Reagan is definitely responsible. An old time television performer by the name of Steve Allen felt that if you love your children enough, they will love you back. This ended up backfiring, as the Greatest Generation largely raised the Baby Boomers, who did much to break tradition. The world as people knew it during the Post War Era and beyond doesn’t exist anymore. Millennials were largely raised by the Baby Boomers who handed them participation awards, and those that weren’t coddled were raised in broken homes. We now have 30 something year old males who can barely function as adults. They cannot afford a home, can’t afford a wife with two kids, can’t afford a decent education without paying an arm and a leg. These are all things that their fathers and grandfathers were able to obtain with far less effort. Men are now shamed for being masculine, which is no surprise given that we now live in a feminist society. So videos like this kid telling his side of things I resonate deeply.

  568.  @kiana3901-o5s  If you are the younger sibling, chances are the parents will chastise and treat you as a child, regardless of how old you are as an adult. My uncle turns 70 years old this year. Back in the 1990s he was a nice uncle, or at least, was. Because I was just a little kid back then, he probably didn’t want to get cast out of the family for mistreating a child. Fast forward to 2015. I’m the same age as you are now. Visiting him with some family while on a trip to a national park. He was cold, mean and narcissistic. He was born in 1952, so he fits right along the Boomer and his attitude perfectly reflects what this video was saying. Started work at the US Post Office in 1975. Worked there until 2010 when he retired. Still has retirement income coming to him from deals he made long ago. Despite living alone and having good retirement, he was mean, rude and angry towards me. Blames me for problems I may or may not have caused when I was at his home for family. Turns out he hated me for far longer than I realized. I wasn’t aware of it until my mom told me about it around a decade ago. We used to visit him once a year, and I realize he already didn’t like me 20 years ago, based on complaints my uncle told my mother when I wasn’t around. In 2016 I completely cut him out of my life. Haven’t heard from him or seen him in six years. The lesson here is family is often not as wonderful or grand as people make it out to be. Like you, I had abusive older people in my life. The best and only thing you can do is cut them out of your life. You cannot let them drag you down.

If you're some 20 something year old girl who is constantly texting and looking over her smartphone while we're dating, you are automatically a piece of shit to me. They don't care about family, they only care for themselves. And if you try to offer them advice they will either dump your relationship with them, or put you on block on the internet.

  575.  @JesusFriedChrist  I worked at a Dollar Tree warehouse for three years. Did 60 hour weeks. Worked to the bone. This warehouse had no automation. Shrink wrapping had to be done on hand. Wrapping orders on pallets stuck on two forks of a pallet jack, which was dangerous. Benefits were going away in the time I worked there. I saw two general managers leave. HR woman fired people left and right, knew nothing about logistics. I was considered one of the best workers. That meant…. you guessed it, more work piled on me. Going the extra effort just gives the managers an excuse to pile on more work. No actual reward. Write ups last an entire year before they expire. I had one in September after getting sick and using a doctors note. Happened again in February. Finally got my third and final write up in June over clocking in 2 - 5 minutes late three times in one week. That write up from September was still in effect. Was fired, got shown paperwork I signed years ago, and got sent out the door by a couple grumpy looking managers. It was a thankless job, and sadly, a majority of jobs are just as brutal as my job at Dollar Tree.

There’s a good reason why average people like you and I live paycheck to paycheck, because the corporations want it this way. These corporations don’t care about us. All the revenue they make could easily help the poor people get a better chance at life. But here at 36 years old I’ve been forced to move back in with parents after I broke up with my ex-girlfriend while we lived in a suburb. It’s not a pretty sight and I practically see tent encampments everywhere. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett. This was all systematically planned by the corporate and ruling elite.

  602.  @OnePermutation  I'm in the same age group as you and I can tell you right now that most Millennials simply cannot afford children. This is something a lot of old Baby Boomers fail to realize even as they age in their senior years. If you were living paycheck to paycheck back in the 1980's, you were doing something wrong. American society in the 1950s - 1980s was more tight knitted. Religion was practiced in more families. College kids could pay off their tuition working a job that paid reasonably well. My Baby Boomer dad worked in manufacturing in the 1970s. Was paid union wages after only completing two years of college. Was able to marry and own his property by the time he was 23 years old. How many Zoomer people aged 23 can do something like this today? Things were already getting bad back in 2007 when the housing market crash happened. Then we had the Financial Crisis in 2008 which led to many jobs drying up, later we tried to get involved with Occupy Wall Street. Fast forward 15 years later and we have a different generation who is struggling even harder to get basic needs met. Some people I know couldn't afford to marry and have kids until their 30s. Sadly for some women that is already too late, but that is the situation my generation has faced. It's a result of the system we live under, and how the Baby Boomer generation has taken much of what was great about America and its values and turned them upside down.

  606.  @CCovers1  You have to remember that the Greatest Generation (born 1901/1902 to roughly 1925 - 1927) was also molded by the Roaring Twenties (1920s). Crime was rampant. Many innocent people died. Chicago was the place for the Chicago Outfit (that still exists) and the likes of Al Capone. 1929 marked a horrific year for crime and the economy. The stock market crash in October of 1929 would lead into the Great Depression, which engulfed all of the 1930s. Even in entertainment media like Hollywood, you can tell that this generation did their utmost best to fight for the greater good. World War 2, without the contributions of the Greatest Generation, would of turned out completely different. It’s why I think entertainers like Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda and Orson Welles are far superior to the likes of what Hollywood is doing now. The Millennial and Zoomer generation is full of beta males. Just like what went on with the MeToo movement, these young women are having their way while the men are getting chastised. This young 22 year woman has done nothing. And yet she holds more social capital and influence than a majority of men. This entire system is weak, and we’re very much heading towards a complete economic collapse. Perhaps the Zoomers may turn out strong later in life. Right now, I don’t see that happening any time soon.

  617. I think a lot of therapists are in it for the money. They go hand in hand with the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t know if anyone here played GTA V, but in the single player story, Michael goes to see his shrink. Throughout the game he gradually gets worse, while his shrink just sits there and listens. Near the end of the game he takes his family there. They express their arguments, but nothing gets done. In fact they’re even more divided. Most therapy only treats the symptoms, not the root causes. Hence why our younger generations are having many mental health problems. They grew up sheltered, in front of screens, and the therapists that you have to pay lots of money to even see just make things worse.

Also went to Qwest Field when the Seahawks had Mike as manager and Shaun Alexander as running back, Matt as quarterback. I don’t know. Even just 15 - 20 years ago, Seattle seemed much better.

  627.  @oldhickory4686  Both of my parents were raised Catholic in the 1950s and 1960s. They exhibited the Boomer vibe of the late 1960s and 1970s, but they still valued family, tradition, honor and loyalty. Furthermore my family comes from California, which I guess fits along with what Matt is saying here because he covered California schools briefly in this video. It used to be a Republican stronghold, with strong conservative values. Now all California has anymore is leftist rhetoric, and this especially applies to the universities. People are so out of touch in that state it's unbelievable. Sad that this is the state that gave us Ted Williams of Boston Red Sox fame (I am a baseball fan and history enthusiast).

Meanwhile it’s virtually impossible for the average person to secure any decent home. Middle class neighborhoods in Seattle are charging $1 - 1.5 million or more for a regular house. Out towards Husky stadium the real estate prices get a lot higher. You essentially have to be rich to get anything good in Seattle. This is simply not an option for most people. Housing up and down the West Coast from Vancouver BC, Canada down to San Diego is unbearable.

  631. American schools starting pushing out self esteem crap to the kids back in the 80’s and 90’s. In California, schools are constantly ranked near the bottom across the board in the United States. They don’t teach kids anything that is going to actually prove useful later in life. Back when I was attending school down there, we had students regularly drop out (highschool), some of them had gang affiliations, they were passive aggressive, and they had no real future. California was already creating problems for kids back then during the late 80’s and 90’s when I was going to school and from what I hear, it’s now much worse. Millennials were greatly affected, but so were the Gen Xers that preceded them years earlier.

  633.  @harrypike731  Silicon Valley and Hollywood are just one little part of America. The issue is because a lot of media stems from those places, people get a narrow lens of American culture, which is many different cultures combined into one. Someone in Missouri will not typically think like someone in San Francisco, California. SF is an entirely leftist area complete with leftist politics and blue haired individuals wishing to ‘transition’. The state of Missouri has more people down to earth, more conservative, more family oriented. Their politics and view of life as Americans is very different from those living in blue colored cities like SF. Junk food, materialism and all that comes from the big corporations and big cities. People need to look beyond that, because America is so much more than what the media is force feeding them.

Everybody knows Jaws, Alien and Star Wars are legendary films that should be celebrated, but there were literally a ton of awful films from this decade. I won't forget Bruce Lee's final movie, the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry movies or Death Wish with Charles Bronson. All great films. But the 1970s, while it had some good spots, had a lot of mediocre to bad films.

  637.  @Acesahn  You also have to note that Blackrock and Vanguards assets total at least $18 trillion USD, if not more. You also have to note that America literally doubled its national debt in just 10 years. 30 years ago we were sitting at $4 - 5 trillion USD, now we sit around over $30 trillion USD. Combine these with the fact that most of us can’t own homes, can’t afford homes, can barely live in condos and apartments, can’t own most any property for ourselves, the list goes on. Shapiro is sitting at around $50 - 60 million USD net worth (possibly higher) so he can buy up over a dozen homes. But even still, Blackrock has a stranglehold on finances and the way we conduct life. My biggest frustration is how DW has just been a cover up this entire time. So much for a good alternative in contrast to Hollywood and Fox News.

  638. ​ @SomeCanine  I think too many people are looking at Millennials, who are nowadays the parents raising the kids, to be responsible for grooming the kids and trying to get laws changed to where kids can change gender before they even become adults. This is tragic. And it's one of many reasons why I still don't have kids even though I'm 36 years old. Because I'll probably just do the same things these parents are doing to their kids now. Not spend enough time with them. Not care for them. These parents don't deserve to have children. It's no wonder so many young people in our society have suicidal thoughts, because they have little to no good role models that they can be inspired by and look up to while they are going to grade school and high school.

  639.  @SomeCanine  This is nothing new. And your perception of people having to live in a religious family to have any sort of family value and community is flawed. Does that mean that Atheists have no role? Christians often fail to acknowledge the many other religions. Ultimately I'm a free religion thinker. Support your own religion. Form your own sense of community. That's freedom. That's what western society should be celebrating and idolizing. Instead, kids are being forced to go with the pride flag nonsense, and the whole LGBTQ debate is radicalized. This entire society is falling apart.

  643.  @myfavoriteplanet3247  Trust me, Boomers still hold the same arrogant attitudes about themselves and others as they did back in the 1990’s. That hasn’t changed. The times and the technology in contrast have changed. If Millennials seem intent on giving their 5-year-old kids participation medals, the Boomers instilled that into them. Gen Xers from what I’ve observed and have talked to were raised by the Silent Generation. While they did not experience the suffering and triumph of the Greatest Generation, they still had a decent set of morals. Just like with the Greatest Generation 20 - 30 years ago, the Silent Generation is rapidly dwindling due to old age and I’m sure most if not all are disgusted with the world of today. The Boomers in contrast still control our government, our corporations and our daily businesses. And they’re not sharing any of that with the younger generations. That is why the ‘OK Boomer’ meme is as prevalent as it is. You got 35 year old Millennials moving back in with friends and parents. You got 20 year old Zoomers who are already miserable and fed up, barely scrapping by with the insane inflation going on right now. Things aren’t looking good for western society, especially Anglo countries like the United States.

You’re more likely to not lose as much money to student debt and you will start work earlier, which is very important for young people.

Still looked lean and boyish, but he was fit. He did a year of college and managed to make good money with home, two cars, wife and two children. I am one of his kids. Try doing this today. You can’t. Young men just accumulate debt in college, their degree is a worthless piece of paper. Jobs now force them to work 55 - 60 hour weeks, while the slightest mistake is enough to get them fired by their managers. I feel for this kid in the video. He’s clearly desperate, but if society keeps telling him he is worthless, he’s just going to delve deeper into depression. The struggle is real.

Boomers took all the good stuff and ruined it. Divorces are off the charts. Kids are now entering highschool in constant panic mode. Social media makes sure we’re all miserable because cancel culture is king. I work a full time job where I help Gen Z people move forward in life.

Unfortunately for you guys, you have to pay around 80 - 100 grand or so to attend a four year university. Then with graduate school you have to pay even more money. By the time your earned your Masters Degree you will be swamped in tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. This was not something that Sowell’s generation nor the Baby Boomers faced 50 - 70 years ago, because college was exponentially cheaper. Also, most jobs require training and some form of certification. It’s no wonder young people are miserable and show no real life skills.

  732. I saw the writing on the wall in circa 2008 - 2011 when I worked at McDonalds. I'm not proud of my time there, but it was a job, and I met some great people while doing the drive thru and front counter, among other duties I did. In 2004 - 2006 this same McDonalds gave me and everyone else a comfy feeling. It was still fast food. People went in, got their order, and left after 10 - 20 minutes. But in contrast to nowadays, the McDonalds I knew over a decade ago was far more inviting. You see the contrast at approximately 0:40 into the video. The McDonalds I knew and worked at resembled much like the one in the 2009 photograph. We went thru a renovation period sometime in 2011 - 2014, I can't remember exactly. Now it just very much resembles the McDonalds shown in the 2019 photograph. A box like shape that looks like a place for inmates rather than a place to take your kids and family to eat. We also ditched the red uniforms we had in 2008 - 2009ish, and phased out anything that had Ronald McDonald's face and figure on it. So now, it's not only a place where kids aren't so much encouraged to go, it's a place where they pay employees the bare minimum. Doesn't matter if you work part time or full time. It's not a good job for high school, college aged kids. The managers at this same McDonalds are much worse than the ones I worked for over a decade ago. Everything has been cheapened and cut back to make more profit, just like every other corporate fast food and restaurant company. Meanwhile, your old Mom and Pop stores continue to drop off like flies while McDonalds, Carls Jr and Burger King move in to your small town and big town. All utilizing the same crap that affected my local McDonalds. Poor service, poor treatment of employees, and practically no possible future to move up within the company or have an actual career in the restaurant business.

Insulted every single one of the guest of honors but usually gave a sincere speech at the end of his speeches. That shows real character and real admiration for the guest of honor. Today if someone like Lebron James or Colin Kaepernick were on a roast but they would be screaming and be all angry not only to the other guests but also on their social media accounts. America has really fallen off a cliff.

  737.  @zf9903  It's not uncommon anymore for younger generations to work 50 - 60 hour work weeks, all while the corporations that control them are making billions and likely soon to be trillions of profits. All in the name of unregulated capitalism. When you look at internet companies and revenue, that opens up a whole new can of worms that would be far too vast to talk about here. You're not a person in America, you are a statistic. You wonder why the government hasn't done anything worthwhile in so long now? Because the corporations are ABOVE them. Money in the hands of filthy, dishonest businessmen has also stalled progress with NASA operations, and there is work being done elsewhere to ensure that there will NEVER be a cure for cancer. I hate to say it, but at the rate we're going, there won't be a cure for COVID-19 either. People like Teddy Roosevelt and I daresay John F Kennedy were real Americans, who understood the values of individualism and expressing ones rights. Doesn't matter to the corporations. They don't care about history either, they rather wish to see it erased. That's why Google/YouTube continues to belly flop around, changing the rules constantly so it's confusing for YouTube content creators to keep up to date with what's going on. Google Search has been giving you skewed results for years, and Google wants to keep it that way because they want to control what people think. You speak of something that is the truth. Unfortunately, most of the people here are too young and dimwitted to ever comprehend your wall of texts, as intelligent and well written as they are. You sir, deserve a round of applause. Fascism is the direction America is heading, and rather than it be the savior like it was back in World War II, it will be the enemy. Power in the hands of a few with more money than they could spend in 100 years. All while so many poor people in America are suffering from bad work conditions, poor wages, little to no benefits, and no real hope of retirement. The Baby Boomers got lucky. Millennials and the generations that follow after them will witness the full suffering.

  740.  @Living_Dead_Girrl  Gen X was the MTV generation. They helped pioneer the style of humor and juvenile comedy Beavis & Butthead made popular. I've spoken with many Gen X individuals and they say they aren't affected by jokes being slightly offensive. They came up with it was okay to be politically incorrect. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Tupac Shakur, two members of Gen X, couldn't give a fuck less what other people thought of them. And that is the main reason why I still respect them, even decades after their deaths. Most of my idols are from Gen X, including the grunge bands of the 1990s and the alternate bands that made up most of the 90s and early 2000s. Napster was more of a Gen X thing. That was the first time in history where the idea of torrents first came to fruition. YouTube was the first platform where Millennials were able to take advantage of torrented and pirated content, completely free. That's why I think every movie and TV series on here that you have to pay money to watch is practically useless. It's never been more easy to find torrents of your favorite shows and movies, all free of charge and without spending money. What Gen Z is getting is honestly not that much different than what Millennials went thru back in the mid - late 2000s and early 2010s. Only they're more brainwashed and diluted. Gen Alpha will likely be the first generation to utilize robots with advanced computer AI. If Millennials are the pioneers in digital technology, Gen Z and Gen Alpha will be utilizing robotic technology that we helped propel forward. You think a reality like Detroit: Become Human won't happen? Think again, because that is the direction we are heading.

All of that plus the governement shutdowns we've had was the Baby Boomers doing. The ones who ran the country and had all the wealth and power. Millennials grew up in a time of post 9/11 and after the Financial Crisis, so their view on life in general is rather distorted. The Zoomers in comparison had to witness the 2016 US Elections with Donald Trump winning, then beginning a crusade to cancel anything that didn't fit his agenda, evident with his constant ranting on Twitter. America is fucked. "Ok Boomer" is a stupid meme that holds as much water as "Git R Done" did back in the 2000s. We didn't adapt in time. Then we wonder why countries like Denmark, Switzerland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and South Korea are simply laughing at us.

  751.  @farhanisraq5102  Generation Alpha will likely surpass Generation Z in terms of stupidity. The Millennials were already overly self entitled and self absorbed, but Gen Z so far has surpassed them. Maybe it's wrong to criticize a bunch of kids because the fact is most of their generation isn't even 20 years old yet. I've been around long enough to see both Millennials and Gen Z get criticized to death. It's just what happens. People seem to forget Generation X attacked Millennials a lot back when that was popular to do on the internet. Now with the Millennials approaching their late 30s and early 40s, it's become a habit for stupid Generation Z kids to attack the Millennials. The cycle repeats.

  768. @ This applies to furniture and appliances too. You're better off buying used furniture from the 1980's and 1990's from a local store somewhere. It won't match newly restored furniture (which is costly) but it will still work better than that garbage furniture you bought on Amazon. I recently replaced a garbage toilet part made with cheap plastic from overseas with a vintage part from the 1970's. The vintage part is easily adjustable, made to last, and can be worked on if it needs metal parts. With the modern plastic, you basically have to throw it away and buy another one. As for movies and shows, pirate if you're a digital only user. Otherwise buy up some DVDs and Blu-Rays. Hope for the best.

We are beginning to regress back to those horrible work weeks that our grandparents were forced to put up with all those decades ago. It is good that you are making six figures, but know that a lot of people aren’t getting anywhere near this amount. From what I hear you really had to work hard to earn that much, because frankly anyone making that much has to put in the time and effort. I gave up computing. I do some software stuff on the side, but that’s not my actual job. Did video games for a while and gave that up as well. Getting into a trade and getting the proper training is probably the best path for young men today.

Someone like that is never going to think straight. Sadly we now have a generation of young trans people who feel destruction is the only way they accomplish anything. They are evil, and when the destruction is finished, they will destroy themselves.

  821. Well said. I was thankful to have some teachers when I was growing up who were around the same age as Thomas Sowell, who is now in his 90s. Then the Baby Boomers came along and started pushing participation awards to kids who didn’t know any better. Parents started telling their kids they were special, when they were not and were told they all had an equal chance in life. Gen Xers raised Zoomers, and we all know how they turned out. There is only forward and there is only taking action so the mistakes of the past are not repeated again. Unfortunately we not only have a generation that is completely brainwashed, our corporations intend to replace us with artificial intelligence (AI). Undoubtedly I feel AI will be even easier to reprogram, while young people looking for work are out of luck. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past”.

If you want real women from this generation then watch an old 1960’s documentary on people who were living in the Appalachian Mountains at the time. They had no dial TV sets, some didn’t even have radio. No washing machines, no dishwashers. They did brutal house work. Surviving news reels of the 50’s and 60’s are also good. Women were more rugged and not at all what you saw in the media.

When I visited a spring training major league baseball game back in 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona (part of the Cactus League), I met a Korean American guy in his 40's who lived in Los Angeles back in the early 90s. He experienced the chaos that followed the King trials in early 1992 and the LA Riots that followed in April of 1992. Violent crime was tearing LA apart. He told me that back when he was in Compton, people had to leave their cars behind if they broke down because the gang violence was so horrible. One of his friends and him worked at a convenience store, his friend went on a lunch break and never returned. Turns out he was shot and killed.

I’ve been extremely careful to bring up any political discussion with her for fear she will go on a tirade about how I’m too far to the ‘Right’. I’m not a right winger, but these days people like Matt Walsh seem to talk more down to earth, even if he is getting good money from the DailyWire. In the early 90’s there was very little to no racism when I was young. Now over 30 years later, those same neighborhoods that once freely allowed a ‘diversity’ of people have let anti white racism ruin them. Those who are half White are openly against Whites too, I speak from experience.

Even if you walked away from social media never to use it again, there is a very good chance somebody in your family, or someone you work with (regardless if you work on location or remotely) who uses social media as an addiction. The old internet was better. Less censorship, you could say what you wanted when you wanted without repercussion. Computer geeks just wanted to express their creativity on the web, and it was a healthy set of communities that all shared a common interest. Nowadays everybody and their mother is on the internet and if you so much as critique or even create something, someone out there is going to try to cancel you into oblivion. It's happening right now with Matt Walsh after he made his documentary on what it means to be a woman.

  850. I stopped using social media mostly for this reason. I honestly think people need to go back to real phones, not smartphones, but real communication and exchanging ideas. Our society wasn't as divisive before. I have friends in the UK that I talk to and they tell me the same things I see here in the States. The erosion of their home culture, the constant meddling from the 'State', the fact that even tech itself has become hostile towards the users, etc etc. I'm not saying that our recent winner of the US elections is going to solve most problems if any, but it was clear the pendulum had to swing. I see the decay and decline even here in my local towns and cities. People are just miserable and nobody is truly passionate for anything worthwhile anymore.

Every other person on Facebook and Twitter was bitching about the exact same thing. This was propelled even further last year with Joe Biden vs Donald Trump last year. Two old farts in their 70s talking to each other like typical 12 - 14 year old kids at a school playground somewhere. That is the times we live in today. When even morons like Donald Trump knew how to access the internet, it all went downhill. Personally, I liked it better when only computer geeks were able to know how to use the internet. That kid shown at 4:09 in the video was during the days of old. No real politics, just a bunch of guys who had to sit with dial-up internet to access the webs. Donald Trump, Joe Biden and the rest of those morons likely never knew how to access the internet until it became more mainstream.

  860. @ I want to ask people this. Do you or anybody else 12 years ago in 2013 ever hear "woke"? Because I used to frequent political forums back then when discussions were often heated and the credibility of America was already put into question (well before this current right wing push). Neither side said "woke". I actually think it started when a certain investment corporation initiated their campaign in 2016 to force all companies that they had their hands in to get mandates. 2016 was probably not the beginning, but that was when this current woke era went full force.

Young women at college age are more easily manipulated, hence they become soldiers of the modern feminist movement. The 40 year old already bought into the crap long ago, so she ends up a cat mom.

  869.  @YoungSantasGroupie  A few things here. Boomers were not only the last generation to believe world peace would last forever, they were the last generation to fully reap the rewards. You can argue that the Greatest Generation didn’t fully reap the rewards because a good chunk of their life was tragedy. After World War II, came the Post War Era. The Greatest Generation ushered that in. Since Gen X, things have progressively gotten worse. You may think it’s Boomers vs Millennials. But people forget Gen Xers were bullied by Boomers, which is now in the past because this was back in the 80s - 90s. Millennials make up a larger demographic which is probably why these debates still go on. “Coddling” and “Helicopter Parenting” may have been a thing by the 1950s but I don’t think those went into full force until the 1980s and 1990s. The 1980s marked an era of hyper awareness for children. Hollywood suddenly had an interest for child and teen stars like Corey Haim. Missing children were listed on milk cartons. Ronald Reagan’s ‘Just Say No to Drugs’ was in full effect. Boomers, Gen X and Millennials were all raised on Hollywood and flashy entertainment. You had sitcoms like Family Matters and Roseanne that taught people that no matter how bad things may get, it will all turn out good in the end. If that isn’t coddling the American public, then I don’t know what is. You think Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan weren’t coddled as celebrities? Celebrities get all the breaks, which is another big problem. Boomers are stuck in the 1970s - 1990s and it shows with their mindset. The Dot Com Boom was the Boomers final great accomplishment, done by the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other tech pioneers of their generation. Millennials were coddled in the 1980s and 1990s and had the rug pulled out from under them in the 2000s. “Helicopter parenting” and “coddling” have created a generation of narcissists. Just look at Miley Cyrus, her father was the one who put the actual work and effort in. The good times are over.

And on the other side of the coin, I’ve met some bright kids in college who don’t have a degree. We all make mistakes. I made plenty of stupid mistakes when I was 18 - 20 years old, because I didn’t know anything about the real world. As someone who has been out for 15 years, struggled, moved back in with parents and moved back out, you gain experience and a little wisdom. Teach the kids good values, so won’t repeat their mistakes. Just calling them lazy and self entitled isn’t going to help.

Bill granted them that. 90’s music carried the themes of individualist thought, choice of life, and being libertarian in focus. Today the left has abandoned that. It’s appalling.

  878. You're acting like there is nothing wrong with Gen Z. It's our job to properly raise Gen Z, because whether people believe it or not, much of their generation was influenced by us. Forget about the Boomers, their time is done. I would say a few things about Gen X, but they are the guys that everyone has forgotten about and they're too old at this point to make any impact at all in regards to fashion or trends. We all overindulge and are obsessed with social media. My lesson to the Zoomers is don't believe everything you hear. Don't believe everything you're seeing. Don't trust anybody. These are life lessons that my parents instilled in me, and it's only right that the Zoomer kids that a portion of my generation is helping raise learn these lessons. Most of Gen Z is still kids. What we need to do is not repeat what the Boomers did to Millennials. Rather, we need to show them there is a bright future ahead of them if they put in the work and have the courage to overcome obstacles and barriers. Everybody looks at the stupid trends on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram and automatically blames Zoomers for all of it. That is not what we should be doing. If more Zoomers want to see a brighter future and a good life ahead of them, they need to learn to work for it and accept that not everything revolves around them. Many of my peers and those of us who are pushing 40 years of age are not doing our jobs properly. We got saddled by the Boomers and as a result of their selfishness and greed we're starting to exhibit the same kind of behaviors on our children. Those children being the Zoomers and for some of us, Generation Alpha. If the Greatest Generation was able to turn America around from the Great Depression into a superpower that people looked up to, then so can the younger generations. But until we already prove that we're willing to take action and have our children put in the hard work and dedication, then things are going to continue to decline. That isn't just one generation. Everybody is to blame, everyone is held accountable in these trying times we're living in.

  879.  @taiji1478  Yes they did, but again, we have to note that that ideal was Hollywood giving audiences what they wanted. Leave it to Beaver showcased Beaver growing up, facing his share of troubles, and at times, relying on his mom and older brother for help. My father is over 70 years old and I drove through his old neighborhood fairly recently. It was old buildings placed there after World War II. None of the houses are extravagant, and they are rather small compared to modern day middle class homes. My dad grew up fairly poor, but family photographs dating back to the 1950s - 1960s reveal a modest family. Old Hollywood had actors who were religious, modest, and genuinely cared about family. My grandparents were the same. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. The world was entirely different from the one ‘Gidget’ portrayed. But…. there was still a sense of innocence for the kids. In retrospect, Florence Henderson of The Brady Bunch would of probably told you that family is important. She was already a very experienced and competent actress by the time the show premiered. Today, there is absolutely nothing for Gen Z to look up to. The reason I copied a portion of your comment and added notable events in 20th Century American pop culture history is because it’s all true. Their legacy is ranting on Discord, listening to worthless YouTube channels that are political pundits and drama, and simping on Tinder because real dating is dead. Men are females. Females are men. Seriously just look at some women on TikTok, who are all Gen Z people who look like they can trash some weak beta male. They were brainwashed, and the men were told they are nothing. These men never saw Leave it to Beaver, they never saw The Brady Bunch. Their idols are useless influencers like MrBeast who keep telling them that spending money is good. What happened to modesty? What happened to being happy for what you have? What happened to setting realistic goals? Gen Z either doesn’t care about any of those things, or they just don’t know. Andy Griffith to these kids is a fantasy. They never watched him, they never saw a minute of the Andy Griffith Show, they will never know why him and Don Knotts were such beloved performers. The constant meddling of the elite, the push for high fructose corn syrup, and making the decision around 30 years ago to park your children in front of TVs, VCRs and video game consoles has done a significant amount of damage. I will say to you that I was there when parents started parking kids in front of VCRs and video games. That actually happened in the late 80’s, because Nintendo at the time was massively popular with the NES. Super Mario Bros 3 sold over 18 million copies. We were cultivating a culture of shut ins, the popular term being nerds. This only got worse with the internet, and when social media went mainstream in the mid - late 2000’s, things starting falling off a cliff.

  880.  @taiji1478  Great comment from you as well. I realize we’re likely a generation apart, but unlike my other comments I’ll keep this a bit short. I am a lifetime video gamer in fact. But I was never truly parked in front of the TV, I had to earn it. I was exposed to 80’s arcades, and the NES, despite the bad things I’ve said about it, was a big deal. Unfortunately America has been sold on the junk food phenomenon for over 30 years. McDonalds is leading the charge. As someone who ate there last month I can tell you that you are eating literal plastic. Perhaps that has always been the case, but as someone who watched those old 80’s/90’s era McDonalds TV commercials, something happened. The food tasted better, yes tasted better, 30 years ago. They seriously messed up the food. Every prominent fast food place is like this now. Gen Z has already eaten at all the fast food joints. They are fat and stupid. Why then, are they so stupid and fearful? I can tell you right now that if you transported Gen Z back in time to the 90’s highschool American environment, Gen Z would be a laughing stock. Even the nerds would make fun of them. I was a nerd in the 90’s too, but I still possessed more masculinity and courage than these Gen Z individuals. This is why I cried when Betty White passed away, who was one month shy of age 100. Because we will never see a woman like her again. The modesty, the longevity, the passion, the ability all seems lost on these Gen Z kids. Funny that you mention cigarette packs. Those older guys received lung cancer in their 50s and 60s. But they were still more durable. They were still more dependent. They were still actual men. Gen Z men at the tender age of 20 are already suicidal, depressed, angry and lost. There is no future for them.

Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam all came out of Washington. I still have some CD albums from these bands that are nearly 30 years old. While I was born in the mid 1980s (1986), Grunge left an lasting impact on me as a youngster.

Now in 2023, working in IT is hardly any better than living paycheck to paycheck. Big tech overreach has ruined IT.

  901.  @rajbhattacharya4427  We used to have actual YouTube communities here. MySpace was also a place to hang out and converse with people who shared the same interests. The YouTube from 2005 to 2010/2011 was a more welcoming place for up and coming YouTubers. Remember when regular people could get a video of theirs featured on the front page? That was a good way to gain a lot of subscribers and get more people to watch your videos. Nowadays, Google only cares for the big guys. That's why they forced removing the dislike counter for everybody, to help protect the image of themselves and the big corporations who post their content. YouTube Rewind 2018 is one of the most disliked videos in YouTube history, which I feel is a big part of the reason why Google enforced this change. The old days of the internet from the late 1990s to the mid/late 2000s was a far more welcoming environment. I had a lot of fun conversing with new people and we didn't just "cancel" each other for saying the wrong things. The young guy sitting at the computer at 4:10 says a lot about the old days. It's no longer a passion anymore. And what hurts me the most is any fucking moron who praises Kim Kardashian as a mere goddess is acting out as a crusader for justice and canceling out anybody who has a different opinion. These morons were too stupid to know how to access the internet in the old days. But thanks to smartphones and WI-FI being so easy to access, any jackass can go on the internet and start a stupid crusade. I miss the old days terribly.

Everyone is living in fear, is anti social and have locked themselves inside their homes due to COVID-19 and the current political climate. Times were better in America back in the early 2000s, but today, we're closer to a dystopian society than I think we've ever been.

  907.  @daddynanners3944  Another problem is people didn't get disciplined. I'm not one of those old guys or extremists who think spanking should be a common practice among parents. However it does seem to me that the older generations were taught better in how to help their fellow man regardless of difference. World War II wouldn't of ended if a large group of men fighting for their lives were insecure and attacked each other on their differences. Every Hollywood actor has had people hate them. Writers especially. Do you not think Stephen King has gotten a lot of hate and criticism. He's received countless amounts of hate and criticism throughout his writing career. He's gotten a ton of death threats I'm sure from people who were offended from his work. Did any of that stop him? No. This generation is spending too much time quarrying over trivial nonsense and not spending enough time innovating and moving forward. This is probably why the world is largely stagnating right now. People are divided more than ever before. We can't set aside our differences and say "Hey, let's agree to disagree, and work on this project together". Our world politicians are constantly in battle with each other, over issues that should of been settled long ago. The fact that so many parents nowadays are giving their kids participation medals and awards is only setting them up to be failures in the long run. Instead of working hard to achieve something and putting in the effort to meet a goal, we are rewarding kids just for being there. How is that supposed to give them the tools they need to succeed in life? Kids don't need participation awards, they need parents that can help push them forward and bring forth new ideas for reasons that you said, to ensure future generations have a good place to live. Sadly, the parents of today are stifling the kids and aren't encouraging them to learn and explore outside. This is one of the main reasons why I think this generation is weak.

They grew up watching black and white television with wholesome shows like I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith and Leave it to Beaver. They practically had everything laid to them by the time they entered the workforce in the 60’s and 70’s. Zoomers, in contrast, grew up exposed to porn on the internet and watching degrading reality TV shows on stations like MTV. They were exposed to prank videos and blowing stuff up in backyards on YouTube when they were kids. Now as adults 15 years later, they’re literally finishing university at negative self worth. Not only do they not stand a chance, their sense of reality and sense of good values is all messed up. The average Zoomer does not support capitalism or supply & demand.

  917.  @JayfroC  I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I think modern Marvel movies are better than those campy 1990s Batman films, which I will admit, haven't aged all that well. But you'd be daft to think that all time classics like Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, 12 Angry Men, High Plains Drifter, the original Star Wars, The Shining or Citizen Kane should be put in the same category as some of these awful superhero movies that we've gotten over the past two to three years.

  918. It’s been this way for a really long time. Back in the 1950’s John Wayne was making loads of money while most people in America were either housewives or worked a boring manufacturing job that paid good. Nowadays the average person can’t buy as much due to wages being stagnant and inflation going thru the roof. You people like to spout this like it’s some phenomenon and you act like it’s only been a problem over the last couple decades. It’s been going on much farther than that. Your grandparents generation watched Judy Garland on the silver screen when they paved the roads, built new freeways and provided education services to their children. The best way to rid of celebrity culture is to simply stop paying attention to it.

  919. @Greeley This should be obvious. I hate celebrity culture as much as the next guy, but I can respect and admire George Clooney and Samuel L Jackson not only for their acting craft, but also for their determination and dedication. People like that who spend that long in show business get some praise from me. Most of us don’t obsess over celebrity culture or bother reading any magazine website that exclusively deals with Hollywood. Most of us are normal people living average lives and having our own families.

  920.  @Stillriz  There’s a lot of history you’re just blatantly ignoring and pissing in the wind. We’re all too eager to toss out what America did in World War II, the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Many people I talk to now consider the Vietnam War to be the beginning of the decline for America. And all too often, we toss out everything JFK did, what Martin Luther King Jr did and what those activists did to bring America to contemporary times. Instead we focus on the dipshit Donald Trump supporters and the sheer incompetence of the American Government to label anything America vastly inferior. You’re focusing on a mostly lone group of people who is making America collapse. “US never had anything significant to be looted in the first place”. So it’s okay to blatantly ignore what happened during the California Gold Rush? There were tons of resources to be had back in the 1700s and 1800s. Sadly, the Whites pressured and forced the Native Americans to concede and give up their lands, even though they never had an actual country. Read some fucking history. Saying it’s all been about racism doesn’t fucking cut it.

While Americans have become taller over time due to more access to foods and so forth, much of that hasn’t exactly been good.

The 1970’s in particular was just after the Hippie Revolution of the late 1960’s. Xers were labeled latchkey kids because their parents were either deadbeats, or absentee parents. When Reagan shifted the pendulum to the right, there was an effort to bring back families and offer family friendly entertainment. It worked for a while, but then the far left were beginning to take over society. You ever wondered why Gen Z is so miserable? Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials all had a part to play in that. Gen Z did not become this way in a vacuum.

Suddenly we had fear instilled into us, and now I see 10 year old kids who are practically on a leash almost.

You can't even play MMOs like Runescape or MOBAs like Fortnite anymore without people talking politics in game. 2002 - 2008ish was that period of time where the internet was in that sweet spot. Accessible enough for kids and adults to access the internet on occasion, but not accessible enough to let it completely consume our lives. I used to be a part of some Sonic the Hedgehog fan fictions, met a lot of great communities on the old internet. Was a huge baseball buff, joined up several MySpace groups catering to baseball, had a lot of fun. Even joined some anime groups out there at the time. Now, no matter what platform or group you're in, people seem all too eager to bring up politics and get offended. People are also putting out their personal details all too often, even if they are depressed about what happened the other day. People used to join up internet communities specifically to talk about specific discussions. If anybody tried to be edgy or be too personal, we told them to shut the fuck up and get a life. Today, those people we offended, we have to bow down to them. I read a story the other night regarding an incident where a transgender got hugely offended on a train when the conductor mentioned "Ladies and Gentleman" on the intercom. Apparently, that didn't apply to this transgender individual, so he made a big stink about it and caused a scene. That royally pissed me off. No, how about you shut up and get a fucking life.

I'm sure a number of people who watched this video are outside of the United States and might not have learned English as their first language, though the video itself may resonate with them. Since people started going after teachers for disciplining the kids, we've seen the kids take a more cautious approach to anything they're not familiar with. That has only hurt them. I knew two kids in my life who went to their job interviews with their parents alongside them. That isn't preparing them for a future, that's the parent shielding them from harm, including the hiring manager who basically tossed them out once they saw what happened. That isn't progress, but rather regression. I've seen it in a lot of kids who suffer from low self esteem. They weren't given the tools to overcome a challenge or an obstacle. Instead of giving the kid to explore on their own, we're having parents track them on their smartphones and punishing them if they so much as walk a block away from their home. As an older Millennial, this attitude was far less commonplace back in the 1990s. Even in the early 2000s, I seem to remember sleeping in at a friends house, then spending the day outside exploring and doing things the usual teenager would do. The older Millennials are now the parents, and we haven't exactly been doing a great job.

The social interaction is gone, and they are outright forced to learn propaganda instead of actual useful subjects like math.

  1031.  @StanbyMode  It was already getting bad. I would argue that 2010 - 2012 was already the start of the decline. 2005 - 2009 YouTube was awesome, as was MySpace and Facebook. Less corporate influence, more freedom to customize your pages. Not as many assholes infesting the internet either. No smartphones back in 2005 - 2006 either. You had to access a personal computer to get onto MySpace.

  1033. This is why I think Japanese cultures and Hispanic cultures are far more interesting. The people there know what their culture is about. In America and elsewhere, we're a bunch of immigrants who kicked out the Natives who once roamed free while we marry a partner who is Mixed in ethnicity for the third time. Americans have no concept of where they came from and what their ancestors wanted to accomplish when they moved to America. Meanwhile, they have no problem twerking to a song that Miley Cyrus made popular and hyping up the latest Marvel superhero movie while paying top dollar to see it.

  1036. I have the same stance as you do. I grew up in California and my family’s history there stretches back to the 1950’s. It was the state where the American Dream was very much possible. Today I see fewer and fewer White people in the state while illegals and people of other races storm the area. Newsom is ushering in an era of authoritarianism where the left controls everything, in fact they run most of the state at this point. Both grandparents side worked really hard to raise families and keep their homes, and all that is now impossible for young people as illegals get free stuff from these Democrats. The very same people ushering in these people to NYC and then complaining about the food. It disgusts me to no end.

Millennials in contrast are largely concerned with their self worth, and most of my peers are narcissistic to the point where I’ve had to cut off a number of them out of my life.

  1039. It’s not just social class either, this also includes common sense and respect. Back in the 80’s and 90’s grownups dressed appropriately. Your average 35 year old in say 1985 - 1990ish was expected to act their age. They were expected to have their own house, have their own car, have their own job and career, and be utterly self sufficient. They were on their own. They not only looked older back then, they had to be more mature. Today I see people at 35 - 40ish who seem to be in arrested development. They wear pajamas when they’re getting a physical checkup, they were indecent clothing at clothing stores, the list goes on. They’re also rude and inconsiderable.

  1045.  @trestonmalone5072  I admire a lot of Gen X. I really do. Growing up I was exposed to a lot of their music, their movies and their styles. They were the cool guys who smoked dope and were able to say "I didn't give a fuck". Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Pearl Jam are my favorite bands of all time. 2Pac is one of the greatest rappers who ever lived. Most of the music on my smartphone is music Gen X made. I cannot stand a lot of the younger Millennials. I cannot stand a lot of Zoomers either. Their priorities aren't straight either. You have Greta, who is a young woman concerned for the future of her generation. Then you have Kylie Jenner, a completely worthless socialite who is a poster girl for everything wrong with the Zoomers. Yet she has hundreds of millions of subscribers more on social media than Greta does. Greta is one of a select few who I actually admire, even if she gets all her ideas from older people in her life. Kylie Jenner hasn't done shit in her life. Her father, Bruce Jenner who is now a woman is just as bad, whom Kylie Jenner simply took from to get famous. The music the Zoomers are making nowadays makes the music Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears made seem like all time Grammy performances in comparison. That is not an exaggeration.

  1049.  @MugenTJ I hate to throw accusations around and I hate to see that Boomers are blamed for practically everything bad now. But deep down, I honestly feel that Boomers, more or less, got us to where we are today. A more shallow, perverted society. It’s not just Millennials and Gen Z. Gen X feels this way as well. We landed on the same boat because we were born too late to enjoy and appreciate the wisdom of older generations, particularly the Greatest Generation that is completely gone now. We have to move forward, but I can’t see our society lasting much longer in its current state.

  1050.  @donttalkcrap The Greatest Generation is almost entirely gone and the Silent Generation is 80+ years old. Certainly not prominent enough to be relevant today. Baby Boomers are the last ones. Those of us in Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z all have our reasons for hating them.

  1055. In a more rational society, we should be hitting numbers of 85 to 90 in average lifespan. Japan’s numbers still remain high because their old folks still retain a sense of optimism. Their diets are more healthy than ours, and their outlook is more stable. Here in the States we cling to two political sides, while we endlessly war on the internet and out on the streets. None of this solves anything, and by the time you’re finished you wish you hadn’t wasted all that time moping when you could have pushed yourself to get better. People in the past didn’t live long because of chain smoking, drinking, never getting exercise, and sitting around. There’s no proper excuse for us living shorter lifespans than we could.

  1058.  @jeremywoodfin2885  Part of this problem is Boomer parents are still lecturing their adult Millennial kids. This stifles their opportunities to be independent and pursue their own lives. The debt from college (on average, it costs around $100,000 to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree) keeps them crippled for years until that debt is paid. Loans do nothing, because that is just borrowing money to pay for a tuition cost that younger people have to pay off anyway. My grandparents are dead. Their generation may have started the decline, but the Boomers have definitely accelerated it. Stay safe and strong my friend. It's rough out there.

  1059. There was a time when the regions could at least compromise, especially when it came to gun laws, taxes, how towns should initiate their plans and so on. Then a certain president took control in 2009 and things like race became hot topics again. The cost of living was steadily rising. I was in So California back in 2005 and I can definitely say it was much better back then, especially Orange County. Now the western side of Washington State is going crazy, because of the ex-plants from Cali and the bureaucrats in Puget Sound who want to destroy everything. I hate it so much, because as much as I love the Pacific Northwest for its scenery, the liberals are destroying it.

From August to mid December we were all forced into overtime because of the loads of holiday items. So that meant four months of hard work. I worked there for two years until my body gave out due to exhaustion. Then I clocked in late twice in one week which was an automatic write up. I had write ups dating back to 10 months ago because apparently they last an entire year. Over 3/4ths of the grunts didn’t last several months, let alone a year. So I was given my papers and was terminated. Two years of no loyalty.

There's a wide selection of manga and it is awesome. Do I need to explain Star Wars? Or Star Trek?

  1077.  @mouseutopiadystopia24601  Steve Allen, one of the pioneers of television was noted for saying if you love your children well, they will turn out great. His philosophy was wrong, because the generation he helped raise fell victim to 1960s politics. The WW2 generation gradually grew worse after WW2. The reason I put women and feminism together is because they are far easier to manipulate. There is no doubt that famous actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor would of completely bent over to social media. But because they were prominent in a different time, the technology was not available yet. Their behavior outside of their show business persona was no different than a lot of the models we see today. Social media tore the mask off and exposed a lot of women for who they really are. All this to say, I don’t like the trends we currently have. The internet was better when only a select few people had access to it. I used to be part of a group of computer nerds who would play EverQuest and other online games. We had tabletop Dungeons & Dragons, Magic the Gathering, comic books and other things. These were predominantly male spaces. Once the feminists came in, things started to shift. I deleted all social media. YouTube I don’t consider to be true social media as much as it’s a database. I have a degree in History, and even though I’m long done with college I still watch videos of history because it interests me. The best thing you wrote in your comment is the lack of communities. Giant global corporations helped put an end to a lot of them. We have friends, as many of us do, but no actual community. I’m sure this kid in the video has many friends, but he doesn’t have a community.

  1078.  @mouseutopiadystopia24601  It’s better to go monk mode my dude. I’ve gone the route of dating, and it’s no longer worth the effort. Any time I see a young man in his 20s or early 30s who is going to marry a beautiful, down to earth young woman, I automatically think he got incredibly lucky. Finding a kind gentle young man is rare, but finding a young woman of the same characteristics is much more rare. Feminism combined with technology ruined then. I hate Boomers. Not as individuals, but as a group. I made the mistake of believing everything they said coming out of their mouths when I was young. I made the mistake of going towards a college degree in a field that was worthless, because the Boomers said it will bring you happiness. Eventually I redirected and earned my degree in History, because I wasn’t about to throw away everything I worked for that already applied towards that degree. Now I’m working towards another field that will give me more steady income. It’s a long process, but it’s far better than the crap college has now been reduced to. Degrees aren’t worth it, I’ve gone that route and I’m telling the 18 year old kids out there to not go down that path. Boomers have broken society, but there is nothing we can do except slow the decline at best. For me, I’ve already given up. I live on the outskirts of a small town, is largely conservative, and hasn’t been victim to the trending crap. No pride flags or LGBTQ nonsense in my area.

  1080. He had more 'diversity' than most people did in the 1950s, and certainly more than people of today. My guess is sensitivity readers looked for slang and derogatory terms that were likely expressed out in the open back in the 1950s, when America and a big chunk of western society was still largely segregated. While the Rosa Parks bus incident and the Brown v. Board of Education were going on during this time, it took around 10 - 15 years after those events for society to finally rid of Jim Crow laws and segregation. Still, these books have to be presented in their original format. To have them rewritten is basically asking for history to be rewritten. These sensitivity readers are communist/socialist idiots at their core. It's time we put a stop to this.

The police can do nothing more than jail them and set them free, only to be dead or get caught. It's a vicious cycle.

Over $16 per hour (which was good back in the 90s), around a month guaranteed vacation time, excellent benefits, and great services. Today you can't even get 10 percent of what Hewlett Packard had. The company is now a dead, hollow shell, just like so many others who shipped their jobs overseas and fucked over the average worker. You can't feed kids mouths with a majority of jobs either. The Baby Boomers got lucky. We didn't.

  1087.  4Freedom4All  Millennials got screwed. In today's world you need at least a Master's Degree to get anything decent. That requires you to attend Graduate School after you get your Bachelors, which for most people is four years. A lot of Baby Boomers did not have Bachelors, let alone Masters. Many of them had very good paying jobs in the manufacturing line back in the 1970s and 1980s. It was possible to raise a family with two kids working at a factory, or repairing equipment. Those jobs have all moved overseas to China and elsewhere. Those same jobs that were once plentiful give crap wages and no benefits. The unions are long gone. There's literally no protection for a lot of people. If you call in sick or you have something going on that requires you to take a few days off work, the employers will just fire you. I'm curious to know how old you are, if you are above the age of 50 then perhaps you were around to see the 1980s and 1990s unfold.

  1088.  @oglocbaby520  Liberal minded individuals are generally much more feminist. Conservatives in general who hold faith in religion and God care about maintaining traditional families, and want their values to be passed to their children. The third wave of feminism back in the 1990's did its share of damage, and the children it bore have unfortunately brought in this current wave of feminism which is LGBTQ. The big cities are becoming more uninhabitable. LA has witnessed an explosion of homeless people. San Francisco is on the brink of collapse because it has weak leadership and is pretty much controlled by far leftism. Communities haven't been a thing in the cities for decades, if they ever did.

Winston Churchill was backed in a corner, but thanks to American soldiers and the "help" of the Soviet Union, the Axis powers were driven back and surrendered. There would not be the same outcome if Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Zoomers were in control and fighting as soldiers during WW2. They don't have the mental capacity, and they certainly don't have the patriotism of the Greatest Generation or even the Silent Generation. You can sense the patriotism and passion the Greatest Generation had during the Post-War Era (1940s - 1950s), which gave the Baby Boomers such prosperity and generosity as kids. Millennials, Boomers and Zoomers are taking everything the Greatest Generation worked to the bone for and tossing it into the bin. Gen Xers are too incompetent to do anything, and they aren't exactly known for being good family people.

The idiots of today that use the internet on their smartphones wouldn't of had the knowledge or patience to access the old internet, since smartphones didn't exist at all.

  1116. If you want a good showing of seeing your observation, look at 1950’s California thru old footage on YT videos. Those same exact places are now dominated by homeless, while Gavin Newsom continues to make the state an utter hellscape. California was also one of the first places to accept illegal immigrants en masse in the decades following the one you were born in. Not too long ago I spoke to someone who worked construction in the Wilshire Boulevard area in Los Angeles for decades before he retired. He regularly ran into people who couldn’t speak English, these were imports from other countries who did not understand America let alone understand and accept the culture. Los Angeles was largely White in the 1950s and early 1960s. Now it’s increasingly rare to see a White person. I’ve come across many immigrants who can barely speak English. Many people in California are poorly educated and have limited vocabulary. Most of the buildings you see in old 1950’s footage that are still around in California are largely derelict, often in bad shape. Those older traditional buildings that have been taken down have been replacing by brutalist style buildings that are ugly and hideous. Just think how modern McDonalds and Dominos fast food places are being built, it’s the same architecture. I have been in the Beverly Hills area and many of those older mansions have been replaced by cheaper looking ones, lacking the style and flair, which coincides perfectly with modern stars like Taylor Swift lacking the talent and personality those older entertainers had. Everything you said didn’t happen on accident. It’s as Patton said, “we fought the wrong enemy”.

  1119. The Civil Rights Era was to you what COVID was to us. Every generation has their tragedies, bad apples and barriers to overcome. For you, it was transitioning from the Jim Crow era into the contemporary American era, which started in the late 1960's. For us, it was going from the Baby Boomer economy of the 1990's and the 2000's, into the current 2020's dystopia caused by a pandemic, a poor economy, and high nihilism. The only positive change you can make starts with yourself. Now, judging from your comment, you are probably much older than me, and like millions of other younger people, I was completely unaware of what went on in your youth. It was only witnessing trends, and coming onto a platform like YouTube, that I learned about the things that have been going on for decades. I'm in my 40's, so I can remember past decades, but not as far back as the timeline you remember.

  1122. I thought of the same. Would never think that living in the Amazon Rainforest or out in some remote location in Africa would be appealing. But today it is something that I actually feel desired to do. I mostly listen to older music and older TV shows and movies because they give me feelgood nostalgia, even though I know full well that doesn't solve anything. TV as it stands today is utter brainwashing. Everybody is fake. Just going onto YouTube without being signed in, you're subjected to all the bullshit some of the top YouTubers are posting that caters entirely to an algorithm and to the lowest common denominator. Some of the shit I see nowadays makes the show Jackass seem great in comparison.

  1123.  @wheeljack0  I'm a lot younger than you, about 36 years old, and I remember comics being a lot more fun and engaging back in the 1990s, early - mid 2000s. I still have a Spider-Man Marvel comic from 1995 where he was in a confrontation with Sandman. It was the first issue where I truly began loving Marvel comics. That's all gone now, because the mob has ruined the comic book industry. The anime and hentai industry may be cringe at times, but at least they're a lot more tolerable to read and watch.

  1124. I’m sure you were well aware of the Art Institute of Seattle. According to what I found on Google Search, it’s permanently closed, as I believe too many people found out about the scams the school was pulling. Back in the mid 2000’s I was pursuing a degree in graphic design. This art school even nearly 20 years ago was charging far too much for classes that other schools were listing for cheaper. According to people I talked to in the Seattle area, this art institute was issuing out non transferable college credits and it was a real nightmare getting an advisor to talk about what degrees were actually worthwhile. I talked on the phone for 30 minutes or so to this guy who was promoting the school and he was giving me a lot of assumptions. He didn’t know what should of been basic answers. I then dropped all efforts to attend this school. I went to a community college in the PNW at that time and earned my transfer degree. Community colleges in the PMW are generally very bad and have a really high dropout rate, but the money I paid for those courses was literal chump change compared to what I would of had to pay for at the Art Institute of Seattle. If this school is gone for good, then good riddance. Sounds like they were scamming people for money, which sadly has become our modern trend in the American education system.

  1125. Pfft, I was making $8.75 a hour at McDonalds back in 2007. It wasn’t livable wages back then. I now make a little over $20 a hour and I’m forced to live with friends and family. It’s just too expensive for the average person to afford much of anything.

  1129.  @gamerkev30  Was watching Sanford & Son the other day, that old vintage television sitcom from the 1970s. I imagine Hollywood and the greater LA area back then was far more tolerable. Less people living there, as well as better quality of life which the Baby Boomers took full advantage of. As a Millennial who is 36 years old, I’ve pretty much given up hope on life getting better in any big city that is aligned with progressivism. It’s horrible, and I’m doing my best to move to the countryside before it too becomes swallowed by progressives.

The Left is bringing back the very thing activists and Civil Rights supporters in the 1960s did their best to eliminate. These double standards are pathetic.

  1146. Obviously yes, living conditions are overall better than they were over a century ago. But compared to the 80’s and 90’s. No. Kids have far less options for fun now than they did back then.

  1148.  @simonlaird6231 We shouldn’t look at their past as a Leave it to Beaver, Ozzie & Harriet vision. But as a group, Boomers had middle class homes, better teachers and real role models much like Beaver did. Those who could live with working man, housewife and white picket fence home had the best of anybody before them. And over time, they squandered it until it was no longer worth fighting for.

On the other side you have Zoomers who are not only militant, but they firmly believe that socialism/communism is the preferred system over that of capitalism. Instead of honoring the Democratic system and paying tribute to the millions of people before them who sacrificed and worked to the bone to give the average person freedoms and opportunities, they wish to dismantle all of it. Millennials have culpability. So goes Generation X. None of them are innocent, they are parrot and get angry when their side is challenged.

  1189.  @kimobrien.  Most of your statement I can't exactly agree with. I'm going to speak in more simplistic terms. In my experience, the system we live under is very late stage capitalism. Your American CEO makes enough to live in various penthouses and could probably afford a private jet. The average working class citizen does not make nearly enough to afford a decent home, if at all. This was different for the Baby Boomers as they grew up in economic prosperity. By the 1980s and 1990s they were very well set. My uncles and my father all owned homes by their late 20's. Back then it was possible to start work at 16 and then be able to save enough for a home. More jobs paid union benefits, and the system was more supporting of decent families and communities. Today, my generation is just working to survive thru these tough times. I'm in my late 30's and we are just now beginning to invest towards a home, when past generations were able to grab a home much earlier in their lives. I will never support a system of nobility, certainly not where people of royal blood hold any great power.

  1191. I’m 36 and my time is slipping. Women my age are all used up. Some of my former highschool female classmates have gone thru multiple relationships. Before smartphones it was easier for me to get dates with these young women. Social media ruined them. The young women aged 20 - 25 years old today are so brainwashed there’s no point in me even trying to communicate with them, let alone ask them out. At least I actually tried. Kids today aren’t going to able to even speak or text to these monsters. It’s tragic to witness.

Too many rules and regulations that would shut them down before they even got their foot in the door. This account I made in March of 2007, so I can speak from first hand experience. The old YouTube was more free and simply much better. The YouTube of today is simply a joke.

  1200. Gunsmoke premiered in 1955 when Hollywood was still under the Hays Code. John Wayne even made a pleasant introduction to the series. The later seasons (1970’s) of Gunsmoke had different writers and it was a period of revisionist Hollywood. Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch further diverted from what were John Wayne movies and had scenes of sex, violence and debauchery that the Hays Code simply would not allow. People also forget that Hollywood was making a lot of rated X films, many of which aged poorly and mean little apart from the generation who experienced them firsthand.

  1204. I’m very sorry to hear this. I think we can come to a mutual understanding that it was a certain generation and a certain political class that got us shafted. I’m an elder Millennial from the early 1980’s, certainly not from your generation and we couldn’t call ourselves latchkey kids. But while you Gen Xers had to fend for yourselves and be independent, the opposite was going on for us. The 1980’s and 1990’s was a pampered lifestyle, suddenly the kid became the focus instead of the other way around. Participation trophies started and I think a lot of narcissism in my own generation can be traced back to the public schools. We also had soccer moms and arrogant Boomers putting a safety net around us Millennials. Certainly a different situation from what Gen Xers went through.

  1222.  @Terrribletom  Oh yes. Sadly my local newspaper just focuses on tragedies. Tragedy was always on the forefront of newspapers but these days it generally focuses on aging Boomers who have nowhere to go because they’re practically broke. Despite this, the higher ups in our society seem fit to displace them as do the 95 - 99 percent of the population who are working class or bottom tier middle class. I live in the Pacific Northwest, but the situation is hardly any different than Pittsburgh as wages remain stagnant. Another tragedy is the fact the FDA is practically putting hormones in meat and other food products, which accounts for Gen Z being obese. They literally don’t care about us regular people.

It was the norm that forum websites maintained an anonymity, we were encouraged to remain anonymous when we were young. Nowadays these kids are basically showcasing not only themselves on TikTok and Twitter, but also showcasing their entire homes, backyards, swimming pools and other members of their families. It's gotten out of control and it's one main reason why I miss the old days of the internet.

  1240.  @antonioliles5027  I had a really good doctor back in the day who retired sometime in 2014 - 2015. She was one of the older doctors who worked in her field for decades. Since 2015 I have probably been to at least a dozen doctors. I'm not old, I'm in my late 30s, born in the earlier half of the 1980s. I've gone to schedule checkups and talk about my eating habits. I am basically convinced that many of the young Millennial age doctors I see these days have completely bent the knee to woke propaganda. They're not interesting in helping their patients and clients, they're interesting in putting them on a leash. The pharmaceutical industry has made a killing in convincing impressionable Millennial kids to take drugs and get into prescriptions because of their health. Some of them who are now 30 somethings are broken, because the damage had been done. The younger generations are screwed. Seems that America and other areas of the West have given up on the well being of their citizens, evident in how we ignore problems at home while we send billions of dollars over to Ukraine to help the war effort. It sickens me and this is why I often relish in 80's and 90's nostalgia.

  1242.  @antonioliles5027  True, I’ve been on prescriptions myself, but I never abused them, like the pharmacy industry seems to be doing with a lot of people. Any chance the Frappuccino is from Starbucks? They sugar coat their drinks to the point where they’re like Monster energy drinks. They also have a relation with TikTok, an absolutely sickening social media site corrupting the youth. I stopped going to Starbucks years ago, and based on what I hear from former employees the mega corporation has only gotten worse. Sounds like you were arguing with a politically minded feminist there. Not to generalize and stereotype, but the sad truth is many, many Millennial women have fallen down that rabbit hole. I knew some of them myself, and the drugs they were taking only made them more unstable, forcing me to cut them out of my life. You seem like a good guy. Teaching is another profession I’ve written off.

  1246.  @YoungSantasGroupie  NYC/LA/SF are all hellscapes. Also, a lot of people in these cities are hyper sensitive, unable to cope with slight criticism. Most likely due to progressive politics. I live 20 minutes away from Portland, Oregon and it is a real hell scape. Endless tents of homeless people with no hope or will. Extremist leftist groups like Antifa who are driving away a lot of business. I look at San Francisco and find that “Oh, there’s a lot of the same bleak outlook going on there”. Things are not boding well for the West.

  1248.  @JC-sj2pd  What happened back in the 1930s and what is happening in the modern world are entirely different things. Millennials were brought up a certain way and that world they were being prepped for no longer exists. Many still cannot afford homes. I’m 36 years old and I know this all too well. Having to move back in with family and friends is not a sign that our society is moving forward in a good way.

  1249.  @Robbie09  Yet they brainwash the kids aged 18 to 24 into believing higher education is the one and only way to real success. As someone in his late 30s who went thru this nonsense, you’re paying a lot for student debt. The costs of attending UW (University of Washington) for four years is 80 grand (over 100 grand if living on campus). That is insane. If you attend graduate school after UW that is even more money you have to spend. Get into a trade. It’s much better in the long term and you will actually use the skills you learned for your job/career.

I'm at the point where stupid old Adam Sandler movies are looking appealing nowadays in contrast to all of the gaslighting and negativity surrounding the modern day movie industry.

  1263.  @osman1345  Because it’s not sustainable. I blame things like Human Resources because they are part of the reason why applying for work is such a circus. You already jumped thru hoops just to earn your Bachelors Degree and obtain those years of work experience. Now they’re forcing you to jump through more hoops. Baby Boomers were lucky simply for being at the right place at the right time. As a Millennial, I was told to work to the bone and earn a Bachelors Degree, which I did a decade ago. Then the people looking at applicants had the audacity to still reject several people who were qualified. America will collapse from within. It’s only a matter of when.

We were not as obsessed with social media. More often than not if we wanted to use MySpace we had to go to a laptop or desktop computer to gain access. We didn't have the technology to instantly text and access websites on a mobile device like our smartphones do now. I've seen how social media has affected today's kids, and it is truly frightening.

  1267.  @Sasquatch-ff1pj  He's clearly talking about the Millennial generation here. A generation that was brought up on parody comedy (South Park, Family Guy), but whom is a significant contributor to today's cancel culture. A lot of Millennial kids were brought up in the Baby Boomer economy of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. They were already coddled and given decent material without doing any of the hard work themselves. Nowadays these 30 something year old adults just craft stories that focus on their own ideology, and are utterly obsessed with Twitter and Instagram. If you feel that a lot of today's writing is narcissistic, amateurish and unfocused, there's your answer. George Lucas was brought up in a different generation and his ideals that ultimately led him to create Star Wars seem like the polar opposite of what today's writers are doing. It's the same generation and set of writers that destroyed western comic books. The same people making Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. They didn't create anything. The Kim Kardashians out there complain about their smartphones and then wonder why so many people hate them.

  1270.  @grimhat2  It was a satire of the American family. Most sitcoms before it portrayed families as loving, hard working, dedicated. The truth was these shows provided escapism and entertainment in a bleak reality. Many families were dysfunctional back in the 1990’s, but since the internet was niche and cellphone cameras didn’t exist, you were largely left to know your friends and family, dysfunctional or not. Now we have instantaneous internet, rapid social media and everything ugly for us to see. I loved The Simpsons, but today it is seen as degrading due to the values of the family itself, which was anything but good.

  1278.  @AdmiralBonetoPick  The times were becoming more progressive by the late 1990s, early 2000s. My issue with women, especially young women in their teens to mid thirties, is they easily come off as radicalized. It's fine if you are concerned with politics and you want to play a minor role in it. Fight for what you believe in. Nowadays young women are basically subverted and when you compare them with men, they cannot take criticism as thoughtfully. They craft a narrative, as any guy like myself who had had a few girlfriends in his life can attest to. Women for the most part simply lack the faculties to tune out this negativity that has swallowed western society. They see the propaganda, they consume it and it takes hold of them. They are popularizing these horrible social movements you see today. And when you ask them why they are doing it, you just get a blank stare. This generation is lost.

  1280. One of the problems is you absolutely cannot hope to live in these big cities until you think a certain way, and land some job that is going to guarantee you $80,000 - 100,000 in gross pay. Vancouver is insanity. Been there many times back in the 90's and early 2000's. Back then it was far more bearable. Everything just... fit better, for lack of a better term. Seattle and Portland have also joined in the insanity by voting for the same policies. If you go to some of these small towns and visit the bars and the local restaurants, you would swear you went back in time to 1980s/1990s America. Big cities all favor their cookie cutter brutalist McDonalds style architecture, while rural towns still hold homes that are 1970s - 1990s in looks and standards. It's absolutely crazy.

  1281.  @joesalvator5878  Those people back then were smokers and drinkers. Men had higher testosterone levels. Women had less skin care options, and many smoked in the 1980’s. I regularly see 35 - 40 year old people who look 25 - 27 years of age. It’s no rocket science, what we consume and how we live our lives have made a catastrophic impact. Microplastics and chemicals put in most American foods have also changed how we look.

  1282. More people need to play games like Yakuza. Japan seems to do a better job with respecting its audience. I learned a great deal just playing the Yakuza games. Even Elden Ring, which has a more subtle story, has very rich lore which makes the world and its environment fascinating. Western AAA games over the past decade have been lecturing the player. It’s why I don’t touch garbage like Borderlands 3 or Destiny 2. Even The Last of Us Part II just feels like lecturing, to the point my where you feel overwhelmed. Millennials will defend games like that constantly. And I’m sick of it.

  1283. I've spoken with older people about this subject and the people that make up the elites don't want Thomas Sowell. He just happens to be one of the most visible faces right now, since most of us do in fact agree with him, but we have no real platform to express ourselves, neither do we have the life experience and book knowledge that Sowell has. Look at how we went from around 40 - 50 companies holding 90 percent of the media in 1983 to just five - six corporations holding 90 percent of the media in 2012. Today in 2024, that number is even lower. Just see the state of the music industry. The global music industry is controlled by four mega corporations, which largely explains why we have not heard anything spectacular on the radio and elsewhere for a long time.

  1285. The same thing is happening in the UK. There was a time when the mainstream, mainline parties could be trusted, but those days are long gone. The West is finished. Whether Oliver Anthony feels it or not, I don't care. But his commentary he just spewed out here is utter contradictory. Kids today are suffering. Things I used to be able to do just 10 years ago I can no longer accomplish, because inflation is at all time highs and I'm stuck just trying to survive on a weekly basis. Anyone who is in the same boat as me right now can make the same statements. Joe Biden's lack of respect and attention to the Maui people was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. It's clear as day the people running our government and the billion/trillion dollar corporations couldn't care less for the average person. That's not just America, that also goes for Western Europe and much of the Anglosphere.

I gave the Andy Griffith show a chance, and it’s every bit as good as people say it is.

  1290.  @Raggmopp-xl7yf  I wouldn’t necessarily say the rest of the country. I’m from the Pacific Northwest. Portland, Oregon back in the 80’s and 90’s was good. Today it is a dystopia, full of homeless bums who are nihilistic, and morally corrupt city officials. Progressives ruined Portland, just like they ruined the state of California. I don’t consider myself a Conservative, but an Independent/Libertarian. What the Democrats are doing has nothing to do with classic Liberals, or even upholding the US Constitution. I’ve been to other states like Colorado and stayed there a while. A decade ago I considered it a swing state. Now it is a blue state, and the same twisted ideology is there as well. Change for the sake of change, changing history that fits their agenda. That is communism. You will own nothing and be happy, which is what the Soviet Union followed. I don’t even care that much for vintage 50’s/60’s era shows, plenty of stuff from the 80’s/90’s did not have this ideology. I have turned to Japanese and Korean entertainment, and they are simply much better than modern Hollywood.

I grew up in the latter part of the 1980's and 1990's and even I can tell you everything was better back then. And while some people will say America was already going downhill at the time, it just wasn't as bad as it is now. Even American entertainment like Sanford & Son and Cheers were much better than the garbage that passes for American entertainment today.

  1294.  @scottb4579  Nobody got offended back then either. Grownups watched Freddie Prinze on Chico and the Man or the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and laughed at the jokes. Today you can't say a joke on social media without some activist attacking you. And going back to airports, everything is under tight security.

  1295.  @ErinJeanette  Thankfully where I live, we have conservatives here, who are really just 1990’s era Democrats. We’re all sick of it. I consider myself a 90’s Democrat and I don’t like the party anymore. It’s too far gone.

  1296. I'm just glad I'm in my late 30s and I grew up when none of this shit existed. The worst you saw 20 years ago or so was watching some guy on the reality show Survivor go ballistic shortly after he got kicked out. Or some convicted criminal screaming he was going to commit suicide on COPS, the reality show that gave you a glimpse of the things police officers had to deal with. We had no filters on the internet back then, but the technology was a lot more primitive. I'm sorry that you Gen X/Millennial parents have to sort thru and filter so much for your kids. My 40 year old sister has to do this constantly and it is tiring. Hopefully, you are teaching your kids the values of hard work. That you are not letting them use Tik Tok, which is sadly brainwashing the youth and turning them into malignant narcissists. Everybody seems to have taken the concept of the TV show Jackass and made it the norm, only these people are far more stupid and easily provoked.

  1300. Shatter is part of the Silent Generation, who were largely influenced by the Greatest Generation, given by name because of their involvement in World War 2. I think of someone like Muhammad Ali to have had far more political presence than someone like John Wayne. But that was the late 60’s, when the Hippies came of age and the curtain of illusion that Hollywood kept was starting to rot. Muhammad Ali of course got criticized by mobs of people for his opinions on the Vietnam War as well as his political views. John Wayne for a time was targeted by young activists in the 60’s - 70’s for his conservative politics. However that doesn’t come anywhere close to the extremist attitudes you see today, especially on mainstream media and social media. This is something that Millennials and Zoomers are bad at. They stand on their soapboxes and become extreme political activists, while being completely ignorant of the struggles previous generations went through. It angers me to no end and I don’t regard any Millennial or Zoomer to be a real celebrity. That ship sailed a long time ago.

  1302. Such gated communities normally hold expensive houses or very fancy apartments. There’s probably a list of guidelines to even enter these gated communities.

As someone in his mid 30s, my generation is largely responsible for allowing these stupid kids to follow these stupid challenges. Not that we were any different because we were stupid college kids drinking beer and spending all nighters cramming studies for a final exam. It’s a cycle. But I can’t relate with these kids. They look up to Kylie Jenner like a fucking god. Completely fake, superficial, shallow and vapid.

  1333. LA Noire was developed by Team Bondi, published by Rockstar. I heard that Rockstar had to pitch in after Team Bondi was suffering from bad working conditions and tight schedules, but most everything in the game was done by Bondi. I don’t want R* to ever consider a sequel or spiritual successor, because they’ll probably take a 1950s - 1960s Los Angeles and twist it to fit their own agenda. Meaning more female representation in the Los Angeles police force, more race diversity in the force, and more ideas that hinge on SJW narratives. If LA Noire came out today there’s no doubt in my mind it would be completely woke. Cole Phelps would be a punching bag, and instead of having that corrupt Vice case partner it would be a woman or SJW lecturing Cole.

  1338. I recently finished reading some Jack London short stories. And you can certainly make the same argument there. What's more intriguing is the fact that he was born in California and grew up in California, notably San Francisco. The city has had a long history with social activism, and today in 2023 is certainly no exception. But what I was notably impressed with was his writing ability. To Build A Fire is one of my favorite stories because it really details the struggles of trying to provide warmth while under harsh conditions. You really felt for the character Jack London focused on, who ends up dying a tragic and lonely death. The style of writing Jack perfected just isn't seen in modern novels anymore. He lived in a time when the Wild West was still a thing, and humans were far more susceptible to numerous diseases with little to no medical help. The average 30 something year old in America has the attention span that is more akin to a regular housefly. Technology has improved but interpersonal communication skills and dialog have dwindled. The average Millennial aged person probably knows far less vocabulary than say actor Orson Welles, or writer Ernest Hemingway.

  1343. I feel that deep down, these people are envious of British history and their rule. For hundreds of years Britain was one of the most powerful and influential nations in the world. You cannot have colonies in India, South Africa and Canada without a very strong, well developed system. Europe was the one and only dominant face of the West, particularly when the Americas were composed of the Thirteen Colonies. There were strong ties to British culture, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 were just two examples out of many. Now, the UK and the United States are both collapsing. Same thing is happening to Canada. The same ideology that was behind this book in the video is the same one controlling our institutions.

  1345.  @Hardcore_Remixer  If you're into computer RPGs I recommend you play Might & Magic VI thru 8. The Mandate of Heaven, For Blood & Honor and Day of the Destroyer. Made by New World Computing, which was headed by gaming pioneer Jon Van Caneghem. Use the unofficial Greyface patch on all three games. There is also the MM6 - MM8 Merge Mod which you can play. Funny enough, New World Computing, which developed both M&M and HOMM, was based in Southern California, in the 1990's.

  1346.  @zf9903  And I know from experience that Amazon works its workers to death. Their minions that go around their warehouses every day picking up items for Amazon to ship out are practically slaves. You can point the finger at Amazon for ruining so many small businesses as well as bigger retail chains that were once prominent. SEARS. Toys R Us. Comp USA. Circuit City. These are just a few who went down because they didn't apart. But even if they did, they would of been lucky to even get a small portion of what Amazon gets on a daily basis. America will fall in due time.

  1359.  @aswaney7449  I was influenced by a lot of Gen Xers growing up. It seems like you guys had a better sense of right and wrong. I also identify with the older millennials born in the early - mid 1980s. Those born at the tail end of the Millennial bracket I feel are too similar to Gen Z, evidenced in their tastes and their general attitude on Twitter. As someone born in the mid 1980s, I was just lucky enough to be one of the last kids to do things like build treehouses, spend entire afternoons outside, and do sleepovers and camp. All before helicopter parents became the norm. I consider those born in the late 1970s and earlier to be lucky. Sadly, most of the Millennial generation and virtually all of Gen Z is going to have to put up with extreme political correctness, dire climate change, and an increasing intolerance to most anybody who shares a different opinion. Hence, the cancel culture.

  1360.  @Living_Dead_Girrl  Cable TV died over a decade ago. Baby Boomers are the only thing keeping it on life support. Gen X, Millennials and Zoomers all watch content either here on YouTube, or on Netflix/Amazon Prime. My sister aged 41 years old has everything on Amazon Prime. TVs are basically streaming platforms now and have been for quite some time. The only reason a family would bother to have any Cable TV or Traditional TV (which is even worse off) is if you live in some backwoods hick country somewhere where you cannot get decent internet. People living in the countryside are suffering, because they have fallen behind. Baby Boomers raised a lot of Millennials. That is a proven fact that can't be disputed. Gen X in contrast raised many of the Zoomers, so there's a notable difference. I cannot however, defend a lot of Zoomers as many aren't even in their early 20s. For the average person, your brain does not fully develop until you reach your early - mid 20s. I find a lot of Zoomer kids insufferable, all living off the college life where they throw parties and try to follow the latest fad on social media. Twitter is more catered to Millennials. TikTok is disgusting, and mostly caters to Zoomers who well.... don't know any better. I see some glimmer of hope in Greta Thunberg, who I feel at least is trying to fight global warming to preserve future generations. But she is still very young, and she hasn't exactly spread her wings to her full potential because she has several older figures in her life who are probably telling her what to do. Real greatness comes from taking action completely on your own. It's not living with your parents, having someone from an older generation guide your hand, or any of that. It's being completely on your own in the world, and making decisions that will influence and impact future generations. For example, old comedians like Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Robin Williams were all huge influences on the comedians that followed. Richard Pryor had a direct influence on Eddie Murphy. That's just what happens when you pass the torch. I'm going to skip most of your comment for later on, but here's the thing with Hollywood. Hollywood is one of the best tools for brainwashing western society. Doesn't matter what generation you pick from because it's always been like this. I've been to Southern California countless times in my life so I know how the culture is down there. In fact, I come from the state of California. The weather is nice, but the culture that comes out of Hollywood is just disgusting now. Plus, I got tired of the smog there. I don't like the woke movement, if that offends you then I'm sorry, I just have to come out with it. I don't like how they've infiltrated the comic book industry. I used to be a huge comic book guy, I've read hundreds of old Marvel and DC Universe comic books. But I absolutely cannot stand modern comic books because they instill this woke narrative that makes them intolerable to read. This same woke movement has not infiltrated video games. Anime at least still has some credibility and merit, I find it far more interesting than either western cartoons or western comic books, such as the aforementioned Marvel. You can call me a "weeb", I don't care. If the world situation was better and I had the means and money, I'd move to Japan. Japanese culture always fascinated me. I'll respond to the rest of your comment for a later time, since I'm currently at work.

  1364.  @leetpg  You are a traditional conservative. I'm friends with many such conservatives myself. They don't advocate for radical change, or for filth to be swiped clean at every opportunity. That is the mindset of Neo-conservatives, whom I despise and deserve next to nothing. Shapiro is a great example, whom you more than likely know since him and Matt work for the same organization. I'm typically regarded as an atheist, but I'm supportive of free religion, so long as harm doesn't come towards innocent people. As long as Christians like yourself don't try to change my standards and my perspective of enjoying life, all is good. You sound like you oppose neoconservative policies, and that's great. I don't think you'd get along well with the company of Ben. Also, alternate media talking heads like Matt cherry pick on a regular basis. The UK has its own alternate media, notably the Lotus Eaters who are another group of conservatives who I would brand as neoconservative. I wish you well.

  1382. Based on what I’ve researched, Gen Xers were the first to get shafted. We have a generation of mothers (Millennials in their 30’s and 40’s) who are raising children without a father figure in the home. When coupled with smartphone devices given to them as young as 2 or 3, and you have kids who are much more immature, lack common sense, and display more feminist traits than masculine traits. The Gen Xers before them were told to play outside, which the term ‘latchkey kid’ stems from. But being the generation largely responsible for Gen Z, the Gen Xers have shown multiple times that they are bad parents. Treating their kids like their friends instead of being real disciplined parents was a critical mistake. Now Millennials pushing 40 who have a sizable count of failed relationships are making the very mistakes the Boomers before them did.

  1388. This is a British conservative channel talking about an incident that happened in Florida last year, which is in America. At this point we might as well just call our society and culture the West because that’s exactly what you’re referring to. While our British cousins across the ocean still criticize how us Americans do certain things, the UK played a huge role in shaping America into what it was. The entire West is deteriorating. We have a generation of young people who don’t know right from wrong and Disney is at the helm abusing children into a certain ideology. And the whole rich get richer and poor get poorer becomes more true as time moves forward. Our society is collapsing and most of it is done by a concentration of people with extreme power.

  1389.  @jakublulek3261  Part of the problem is western audiences, particularly younger people, see Japan as a powerhouse of entertainment. It's pretty easy for me as a Millennial to find people in their early - mid 30s who grew up on Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z and Pokemon. We all collected Pokemon cards back in the 1990s. Then there's video games which Japan has undoubtedly made a killing off of for decades at this point. Arcade cabinets dating back to the 1980s which came from Japan brought a new generation of consumers, of all different types. At 36 years old I was heavily influenced with Japanese products. Played Nintendo, Sega, and at this point have seen more than 100 animes, spanning from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Older Americans do not see Japan in the same light as we do. If you're wondering why so many people have anime avatars, it's probably because they enjoyed an anime or two that Japan produced. All this to say that few of us actually care about traditional Japanese history or traditional Japanese culture. Most of us don't know anything about what happened in World War 2 let alone what happened to Japan during the Post War Era (1946 - 1963). The Japan we knew and loved stems from the 1980s and 1990s, which is as you said, its prime. You already know that 80s and 90s era represented the "new" Japanese culture, one that became more dependent and obsessed with high tech. The "old" Japanese culture is largely unknown to us.

  1401. @ Point taken. If I felt your points were aggressive and you were being rude I wouldn’t have commented. Yes, I agree with your points. What’s a bit sad to me is Portland is no longer the city I remember. The new architecture and new groups of people are undesirable. I get a more wholesome feel being in small towns in Oregon. There’s a small town here in Washington that has had the same restaurants for 40 - 50 years. The old cohort retired so there’s younger people working at them, but the decor and keeping the customers satisfied have been left untouched. This town even built a restaurant next to the river that has an early 20th century style. It took them over a decade to get the funding necessary to build it. Cities like Portland now regard me as not progressive enough, despite being a former Democrat and left leaning person my whole life.

Highschool dropouts back in the 1960s - 1970s could take a job at the factory while getting paid union benefits on top of wages that were far more reasonable. Factory work is the same monotonous, back breaking labor that it was in the time of yesteryear, but now young people can't get union benefits, and their studio apartments are barely paid for.

Right now your generation is just following the shit Millennials started. I can't stand a lot of Millennials either. Lebron James needs to shut his mouth.

  1430. I used to see homeless people in Portland Oregon in the late 80’s and 90’s. They could be unruly, but back then they largely kept to themselves. We did not see them set up camp in the middle of sidewalks. Normal average working class people could commute with hardly any issues to the homeless. I saw the decline starting in the 2000’s to early 2010’s. As recently as 2010, I could go to some clubs and see local bands perform without homeless people causing too much trouble. No more. It’s simply too dangerous now. I haven’t been to downtown Portland in over two years at this point. No real reason to, since everything they once offered you can grab online. But on the off chance that you can’t, it’s too dangerous just walking down the street since the homeless have not only become more vocal, they are violent. This is a result of politicians being corrupt, a useless Mayor, and little to no police force to keep law & order. People in Portland are moving to Vancouver Washington, and sadly it is becoming more woke.

We graduated university in 2008 right when the housing crash and financial crash occurred. The guys born a few years later really got shafted. Your peers didn’t have flip phones or smartphones growing up. I’ve noticed the tail end of the Millennial generation having far more mental problems than the ‘Xennials’, and that has much to do with social media encompassing their lives. Those apps as you put them wouldn’t of let you find a place.

  1446.  @mbrady2329  Yes. This is why I consider Elvis far better than any mainstream act today, even towards the end when drugs were killing him. All of the greats from the past in show business had very talented people working for them. You never saw these people, except for when their names appeared in the credits. Jimi Hendrix made his home in Britain and had exceptionally talented British musicians playing with him whenever he played his guitar. Too much today is completely manufactured. An actual, raw song, even if played by a not so talented performer, sounds much better. Computers and tech have largely ruined what used to be great music.

  1451.  @loopywren  Your world was different. If you are 82 years old, then you’ve seen a lot. You saw the 1960s with firsthand experience. How did you feel when the counterculture came to being? Did you hold old fashioned values that parents of the 1940s and 1950s had? Were you moved by their courage with their stories? The Greatest Generation held up to their name. Your generation that came after was responsible for the Civil Rights Era here in the United States. The British Invasion that cemented a place in history for The Beatles was your generation. Nowadays we have lost Zoomers who can’t produce any music with quality. They can’t make rational decisions. They have been manipulated by social media and partisan politics. Young men are beaten to the ground and told they are nothing. Young women are used up by the time they are 30, unable to find a proper husband.

  1455. There’s a difference between collecting toys while acting like a mature middle aged adult, and playing with toys while you act all childish like you were being 10 years old again. I have no respect for the latter. You have to accept reality and you have to see the ugly things every now and then. Not pretend you’re in a fantasy wonderland while you fail to know what reality actually is.

  1461. I’m 36 and I share the same sentiment. A few of my friends fought the two wars we were involved in back in the 2000s. Unlike the war this 100 year old man was involved in, my friends didn’t feel the passion. It was all a waste of time, and it became blatant once they were actually deployed. Now we’re getting people who don’t care about the American culture and history. Same thing is going on with the UK and France. They can’t recognize their countries any more.

Because some leftists discovered an old article of John Wayne dating back to a 1971 Playboy magazine where he made comments on blacks and Indians. No my only are the morals and values of John Wayne offensive to these people, they don’t want to acknowledge he did anything good in his life.

  1466.  @ThinWhiteAxe  There’s lots of patriotism in states like Montana, Missouri, Wyoming, North and South Dakota. Idaho is also patriotic, but it’s home to a bunch of hyper aggressive flag waving conservatives who hate diversity and most anything that isn’t White. The leftist cities like Portland Oregon are more so a clash of cultures. Many people from California moved there which shouldn’t be surprising considering it’s ultra progressive politics, the main reason why it’s bad now. The San Francisco Bay Area is leftists from top to bottom. Silicon Valley is there with them. Los Angeles, particularly Hollywood is ultra left wing. Orange, California is largely conservative. Bakersfield is notably conservative, though I hear people are trying to leave.

  1467. The internet was what happened. When I was growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s most people screamed about Reagan, or hated Bush. But without internet being readily available on the personal computer, their arguments rarely went beyond the living room. The internet is a great thing, but it has ushered in the age of dystopia and dissent. War is no longer being waged out in the real world, it is now being sought on the virtual space. That’s why the 80’s and 90’s represent the last time America was good, as well as western society. Other than nuclear drills being conducted in class, I didn’t have to worry about legacy media infiltrating every aspect of my life, like it is trying to do to us today. Gen Z will face very tough times ahead. I just hope they will be prepared for it.

  1468.  @LLCOOP3224  I went thru a “middle class neighborhood” in Seattle. Houses there were going for $1 million back in 2016. I reckon today the same houses go for $1.2 - 1.5 million. Insanity. University is around $100 grand per college student, which means student loans. Which means debt. Which means a worse education than what people got 20 years ago because of new ideologies. Downtown Seattle is only affordable for the rich. All those new condos are for rich people. If Seattle is anything like Vancouver BC, some of those massive towers are held by China, and they’re not even there most of the year. As someone who grew up in the late 80’s and 90’s when Grunge was a thing and computer tech was fast becoming the new sensation, it disgusts me what Seattle has become.

  1475.  @kenwbrenner  The 1950s was a very long time ago. Completely different era, different time period. Walt Disney may of been a lot of things but he never would of greenlighted the mess that his company is today. Nonetheless cable television exposed me to the older stuff, which my parents watched as kids and at this time, Disney Channel was an option we had. I'm with Amanda here though, because I came up in the late 80's, early to late 90's and the Disney that was around back then was much better. My parents took me and my older sister to watch Aladdin and The Lion King. I can remember newly released VHS tapes of The Lion King in stores. Nobody thought of "woke" in those days. Nobody thought Disney would be concentrated on division and issues. As a father in his late 30s, I have banned my daughter from watching anything on Disney Plus. She cannot watch anything on that livestream service, because I have seen the stuff on there myself and it is utterly disgusting. I'm trying to get her to watch the stuff I grew up with and hope she will have that appreciation, but it just isn't the same.

  1476.  @katherine6326  I considered hospital work. Someone else who commented on this same video is currently a part time security guard at a hospital. Despite working there for a few years now, he was turned down for a full time position because he didn’t have the “credentials” and “experience”. Being a doctor isn’t easy. At this point it’s not worth it for me to spend a number of years past college to get a PhD, only to be mistreated by the administrations. Unfortunately this same attitude has affected the video game industry, a field I worked in for a number of years. Developers, like doctors in your field, are leaving companies like EA (Electronic Arts) and Ubisoft to work in smaller studios, namely indie studios. It’s all messed up. It’s just a circus between the plebs and the royalty.

Gen Z wasn’t really a factor when this interview was recorded (sometime in 2008 - 2013 if I had to guess), but they are definitely a factor today. Too many Zoomers can’t even afford a studio apartment, let alone a home. The cities these days are more dystopian instead of opportunistic. Young people can’t find jobs and even if they do, they will struggle, thanks to Biden inflation. The countryside and the hills aren’t for everyone. But these days, they are far more welcoming than being in a garbage city like San Francisco or New York City. Both cities have such a high cost of living it’s next to impossible for most any young man or woman to start making a living.

  1514. ⁠​⁠ @1.percent_everyday  What you described is a phenomenon of 1950’s - 1960’s America. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, women had to look after the children at home, one reason being many children died of sickness and disease. Vaccines weren’t as common and neither was effective medical care. The car suburbia was propped up during the Eisenhower administration. In Europe, cities and towns were made with people walking to places and actually forming bonds with others. In suburban America, everyone is separated and stuck in a bubble.

  1515. ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ @millzmillz3762 You misinterpreted the other guys post. But whatever. Your issue has been an issue for decades at this point. Speaking of which, the gangster rap subgenre was already speaking ill of white people back in the 1990’s, so none of this is new in any fashion. White people made America and they also ended slavery. There’s no buts or ifs, that’s actual history. That’s not me being racist, that’s me speaking the truth. I get called a racist despite my family on both sides having to jump thru hoops to be admitted as American citizens. It’s completely insane what’s happening now.

  1522.  @hbgstorm  Real diversity is allowing minorities and others to thrive in an environment that isn’t forced. There was no anti-whitism garbage back then in Hollywood. The producers, writers and directors knew exactly what they were doing with those shows. I must also point out that Diff’rent Strokes had at least one or two white regulars. Alfonso Ribeiro who played Carlton in Fresh Prince was previously on a 80’s sitcom which had a child male lead who was white. You said yourself that these shows had white creators. They wanted real diversity. What we see now isn’t diversity, it’s more so an attack on white people while people who aren’t white are given the red carpet treatment for doing nothing of value. It angers me greatly.

  1523.  @hbgstorm  There was an attempt to revive Roseanne, bringing back the older actors from that show. It never took off. Reason? It was too "White".

  1525.  @Alainmontpellier1000  This isn't the 1950s and 1960s anymore. Times have changed. Your grandparents died of old age. Their way of life and culture are no more. The more I listen to people like you, the more I think you guys would be content with using a time travel machine than actually face the mounting issues western society is facing today. Same gendered marriages were planned decades ago. Some communities already partaken in that even though it wasn't legal back then. Your ideal of a more old fashioned culture and it's traditions is quickly slipping.

  1527. I’m 40 years old and I remember going to Portland when I was in high school and college. This was back from 1999 to about 2006 or so. Most of the homeless were concentrated in Burnside, Portland. I rode my mountain bike on the I-205 bridge back in 2007. Maybe you would find one or two homeless people then, but it wasn’t common. I’d ride to Jansen Beach and go to CompUSA, among other stores. Today downtown Portland is just a place to start chaos. Police won’t respond to most 911 calls. Food carts had to close and move elsewhere because the vandalism was too much. Race relations were also much better 20 years ago. Portland’s bars had a great diversity of people, you went in and had some fun.

  1536. I was never a real fan of Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore, Ruth Buzzi, Joan Rivers or any of those early female comediennes during the early days of television. But I can appreciate all the hard work they did in their careers. Carol Burnett and Joan Rivers were to me two of the great female comediennes in the business. No female comic today can lay a finger on them. It’s like comparing one of countless mediocre male stand up comics to George Carlin. Carol and Joan were clever and had good writing to back up their talents. Today female comics have to be dirty, make pathetic attempts at jokes and try to please the woke PC crowd.

  1537. You're older than the Boomers, and when you were growing up you were expected to have a certain level of etiquette. I'm sure that's a word you understand since most young people (including myself until recently) had no idea what etiquette meant. You also had far less distractions. Your idea of video games was board games and card games, notably Bridge and maybe some Backgammon.

  1543. I hate to say it, but you’re 100% correct. I spoke to an 80 year old woman the other day and she told me California started losing its way, back in the 1960’s and 1970’s. She worked as a high school teacher in the 1970’s and by that point, many kids couldn’t do basic Math, English or had an understand of life skills. California approved of a new Math program in the 1960’s which resulted in an entire generation of kids who couldn’t pass Math courses. Oregon, according to her, was its own thing. She lives in Washington State and she is absolutely disgusted with all three states on the West Coast. She was a left leaning individual, but never went into extremism.

  1553. When I was a little kid going to school in the late 80’s, the teachers were respectful, but they were firm. Some of these teachers were already reaching old age, but they were brought up during the WW2 era and the following Post War period. They were no-nonsense, and any kid that was breaking the rules at the school would get severely punished. Nowadays I regularly see young teachers at public schools treat their students with kindness. I rarely hear of any discipline. Even in various fight videos you see of highschool kids punching each other, the teachers rarely discipline. In the past that would of resulted in severe suspension and possibly expulsion. But today these kids go scot free, and the teachers can’t teach what they want because the administration is telling them what they have to do.

In return, I am boycotting them.

  1566.  @worndown8280  The destruction of Paradise, California in 2018 was the final straw for me. My family that came from California go back to the 1940s - 1950s, and I can imagine California was so much better back then. Fueled more by the fact that Hollywood was a powerhouse and the people running it had conservative values. San Francisco was actually a decent place to live at one point. As I've known for a long time, Hollywood and California are the first to spread garbage, and in recent times that has spread to all the rest of the United States. Ex Californians are trying to make a new home in Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and other places.

  1570. I talked to a former police officer at length about working in San Francisco. Gavin was mayor then in the mid 2000’s and this officer was fed up with the way the mayor was interfering. He finally quit the force and Gavin was allowed to get what he wanted unscathed. He is a snake and it doesn’t surprise me one bit to see he is continuing to ruin the entire state.

  1578.  @iiiiiiiiiiii90000000  A lot of 90's TV was toxic, and gave off a narcissist "I'm better than thou" attitude. Don't also forget that Millennials were largely parked in front of VCRs, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and a bunch of cable TV programming. I was there to see this stuff back then, so I know from firsthand experience. If you need to figure out why Millennials come off as whiny, entitled, and often miserable, you just need to connect the dots. They did not become this way in a vacuum.

  1586. Not that easy if you’re a loner. I look at the Amish people these days and think they are far more sane than places like California. It’s not just entertainment and pop culture. It’s also affected our schools and the family structure. There’s no doubt someone like Michael Jackson would identify as queer/trans if he was in his 20’s/30’s in todays climate.

  1590. Finding a woman was easier back then because most of them weren't on the internet. Some of the more geeky girls out there were at the time, but they were generally considered tomboys. The internet was largely a male space, niche, and appealed to those interested in computer tech. Once 2007 - 2008 rolled around people started getting smartphones, and accessing the internet then started to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Instead of booting up a computer to access the internet, you can just access it with a couple swipes of your finger and hitting the power button. Social media has ruined marriage, and at this point of reaching that 40 year old milestone, I'm on the verge of just giving up being married at all. It's not worth it.
    2
  1591.  @magdalenasanecka2396  It's just stupid kids on social media. Once they grow up and reach their 30s and 40s, they will hopefully have matured enough to not play stupid culture wars.
    2
  1592. This is no accident. As a Gen Xer, you were one of the last to have an analog childhood. Millennials were exposed to the internet, and Gen Z can’t remember a time before the internet. Real life experience will always be more rewarding than whatever happens on a virtual reality. No amount of video games, social media, digital media and online prostitution can replace real life experience. Kids are mental because they’re afraid of the outside world. You Gen Xers are tougher because your childhoods consisted of playing outside until the sun came down in your neighborhood. Computers were rare and those people who used them frequently were few and far between.

  1607. Our modern culture is to blame than anything else. My grandparents generation married in the 1950s and 1960s. They said marriage was easier back then. I wasn't aware of this until I watched old 50's/60's shows like Leave it to Beaver and Ozzie & Harriet. Yes, both of those old black and white shows were sugarcoating, it was Hollywood after all. But the system in place back then encouraged people to marry and have children. Young people were encouraged to pass the torch to the next generation, ala their children. Over the last 20 - 40 years, marriage has become increasingly more risky and for most of us, it just doesn't pay to be married anymore. I still see young people get married, because I view their Instagram profiles and they show that they are happy. But most of these people come from conservative families, who still value tradition and still value putting emphasis on children. The liberal left has abandoned those values long ago. California is no longer a state to raise kids properly anymore, which explains why so many conservative families, including Ben Shapiro's own family, moved out of the state.

  1609. Video games have been my life for the past 30 years, and I can’t think of a worse time for gaming history than right now. My subculture is being caved in. What was once a culture of computer geeks and social outcasts has now turned into the most profitable entertainment medium out there. These corporate influences and these woke individuals have ruined my favorite hobby. Certain developers, retro games, and some indie titles are all I bother with at this point.

  1613. Most people associate the era of 1995 to 2005/2006 as the Steroid Era, but steroids were in baseball much sooner. Back in the 1980s. Jose Canseco played his rookie year in 1986. Him and Mark McGwire who came up a year later were popping steroids. They had huge forearms. You go back in time and watch those old MLB broadcasts from the 1970s, nobody looked freaking muscular. Everyone looked natural. Players had that slim look, even the bigger guys looked far more tame than the guys who came in the late 80s, early 90s. The 1994 baseball strike was the floodgates that opened for steroids. They brought a lot of people back into the ballparks. Especially young kids.
    2
  1614.  @yankees29  I just said steroids were in baseball in the 1980s. Did you blatantly skip over my comment?

  1615.  @yankees29  WWE was popping steroids like crazy in the 1980s. Hulk Hogan. The Ultimate Warrior and a multitude of others. Many of them paid the ultimate price: death. But…. I believe some were popping steroids as far back as the 1970s.
    2
  1616.  @yankees29  Wasn’t there a drug back in the early 1960s that a lot of Hollywood stars took back then? I mean it’s freaking Hollywood. Drugs and Los Angeles go together like bread and butter. I don’t know if this particular drug was used in sports. My dad who is 70 years old told me about it. Happened in the 1960s, so we’re talking a high point for drug culture anyway.

  1619.  @leonardkenyon  Seems the political pendulum has swung the other way. A decade ago in the year 2012, it was the Right giving America a bad reputation because of Obama existing as president and the issues of the time like gay marriage. 10 years later, in 2022, it is the Left giving America a bad reputation. So what happened? I blame the government. I blame the trillion dollar corporations. Namely Amazon. Jeff Bezos, shouldn't be too surprising if he has deep connections. Regardless, the America we knew is dead and gone. These days I'm just working with family and friends, and making money at my job. The super rich have made America into a dystopia. You have to be a fool to not say that they have.

  1623. And yet they’re brainwashing the kids all the same because of their ‘impressions’. If I knew this 20 years ago when I attended college I would of dropped out and considered training for a job/career that values real life skills. This is why the Far Left continue to become more and more insufferable.

  1631.  @voxpopuli905  Sounds like the women I saw walking down the Strip in Las Vegas and Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. I given up any hope on any children or wife. I’m 36, and I’m happy being single. It keeps me sane and motivated. I’ve tried many small towns, nowhere near any metropolis. And I just ended up finding the same types of hateful women.
    2
  1632.  @stevenfunderburg1623  Millennials contributed to the decline. The music industry saw how enormous Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were in their prime so they decided to replicate them. I don’t think Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Selena Gomez and the like would of existed without Britney Spears paving the way for them. Generation X was the last generation to grow up in a completely analog world. They borrowed a lot from the Silent and Boomer generations and did their own thing. Even Kurt Cobain made a music video that was a spoof/recreation of an old vintage 1950’s era television show (Buddy Holly comes to mind), but you wouldn’t know that just hearing the song. Millennials on the other hand took what good Gen X brought to the table and destroyed it. Now Gen Z is expected to follow in the footsteps of Rihanna and Taylor Swift when it comes to pop. Over produced, commercialized fluff.

  1633. @Eric Nunya I know exactly how IronedSilver feels here, because I am in the exact same boat as him. Got my degree, worked hard to earn it, but accumulated enough debt to where it stifled me. I gave up Programming and Game Development for other job fields. I’ve done various odd jobs and I’m looking to work as a Engineer. Talking down to him here solves nothing. It’s why our country isn’t going anywhere. Class actions are a start, but how many Millennials are actually doing this? The courts have enough crap on their hands already. Your suggestion isn’t bad, it just needs some reworking.

  1641. America is lost at this point. The 1990’s was the last good decade. Everything since 9/11 has been downhill. 9/11 was a long time ago, we can admit to that. But just look at what the standards are today compared to back then. Our system is crumbling. Our justice system was showing cracks 30 - 40 years ago. Now it’s gaping holes where any innocent person can fall in and get trapped. The criminals get to walk free.

  1642.  @Brandon-n1w7w  At this point I’m far more sympathetic towards Gen X than I am for Boomers. Say what you will on Millennials and Zoomers, but they are victims of this hyper inflation going on. Boomers are sucking Social Security dry and are making younger generations work more for less. It’s why my generation has gotten far more into crypto currency.

  1645. There was a cultural explosion in the Post War Era. We don’t think much of it because it was before our time. But events like Elvis Presley’s first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show was a really big deal back then. That was when America was in full swing financially and culturally. My grandparents before they died in 2014 told me ages ago that California was the #1 most culturally and financially well off state in America. Now it is a dystopian state, full of homeless and cost of living being insane while quality of life goes downhill. Likewise, the United Kingdom was culturally on top in the 1960’s, thanks to the Beatles and the British Invasion. Now it is suffering from many of the same issues. Mass amount of immigrants, crumbling infrastructure, the list goes on. Now I see my fast food places that once had jovial TV commercials turn into junk.

  1653.  @BigJyeTV  I know plenty of Millennials pushing 40 years old who had to change careers because their college degrees in business gave them nothing. So what is the solution? My peers are getting into cryptocurrency, but that isn’t a tried and true solution since it only exists online. That money can be gone from your coffers with the tip of a hat.

  1654.  @Subzearo  So YouTube is basically going in the same direction that cable television was going over a decade ago. Funny that so many people went onto YouTube to escape the crap that was cable TV. Now it's just as corporate and sterile as all the other corporations.

    2
  1659.  @GamersBay  I agree fully. I remember in the early 90’s when arcades were jam packed. Nothing was recorded, it was all about living the moment. It was great. Something as harmful as cigarette smoking is now one of those nostalgia pieces. It’s harmful and I will never encourage anyone to smoke, but it was a part of American culture that no longer exists. Part of this is because smokers now have to pay extra in addition to the tobacco costs they have to pay just to access the drug. Think about money taken from their work paychecks. You punish smokers but our nation has the audacity to let these other substances that are far more dangerous go unchecked? It’s double standards. Just like how the comments section here has them.

Many people still didn't have the internet, those that did had 28k dial-up which was painfully slow. You still had to engage in interpersonal communication. Today Gen Z and Gen Alpha just stare into their phones and they will act hostile if you try to take those away from them. Our society is doomed.

  1667.  @Vulpas  Both of my parents were Catholic. They were taught human values which are critical to a child's development. Parents today don't do this, and it largely explains why so many kids now are mentally depressed and unstable.

  1668. Old time radio shows were essentially shows that later transferred to television. Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, and other legendary performers got their fame on radio. Lots of old gems that are probably forgotten by most, but well worth checking out. Plenty of drama, crime and variety shows got their start on old time radio.

  1675.  @orionishi6737  Millennials said this over a decade ago. Gen X said this 30 years ago. The Boomers, who are now the old farts infesting Facebook, said this 50 years ago. Fact of the matter is, your generation is still kids. Not the older bracket mind you, but most of your generation is still attending high school and college. All I see is Greta Thunberg. She has worked hard to get more people to think and climate change. She is actively getting others to try to make a positive change. When your generation stops idolizing Kylie Jenner and the morons who do those stupid internet challenges, I will take you kids more seriously. Right now, a lot of you guys annoy us. I realize the dude at 50 doesn’t have kids, and it’s easy to understand why. TikTok and your gaming habits are both a fad. Just like MySpace was with us. We didn’t have anybody either in the early - mid 2000s. When you get your Tupac Shakur, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Edward Snowden, Aaron Swartz... we’ll take you guys a bit more seriously. Right now you kids need to think about your future, and not make the same mistakes my 30 some year old brethren committed.

  1676.  @Nyctonaut Because back in the 90’s the left was more open minded. The left wing back in the 90’s was Grunge music ala Kurt Cobain, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and so forth. Back then the left was actually making culture, not shunning it. Same goes for Hollywood and video games. As someone older than you who was slightly left leaning most of my life, I jumped off the bandwagon when a certain president became president. All the left media does is shun him, and they blatantly ignore the other things going on that are more important. I no longer associate with Democrats anymore.

  1680. Joe Biden is too old and too coddled in the hands of the elite to really care about anything. Both the president and the US Government are more or less in the laps of the corporations. Jeff Bezos is sitting at over $150 Billion USD net worth, and as far as I’m concerned he is just sitting back watching the world burn while he’s sipping a latte. This was all planned and executed by the ruling elite. Everything from schools to gender ideologies have been affected. The Baby Boomers have been telling me this has been happening for 30 - 50 years, but realistically I think it’s been the last 20 years. We will never have a prosperous decade like the 1990s ever again. I look back at that era and it almost seems like a Walt Disney experience. Mass society being more happy. An actual middle class (before it got completely eradicated). Working men who could build and start homes in their early - late 20s. A career that respected you as an individual and gave you ample time to move up the career ladder. Banks that paid good interest on checking and savings accounts. A entertainment venue (Hollywood) that hadn’t gone completely politicized and had people who still cared for wholesome entertainment. A school system that was a little more balanced. A few politicians who still put communities and families first. Etc etc etc. America is done.

  1681.  @after_midnight9592  It's been this way forever. Most advertisements way back in the 1950s - 1970s targeted women, because they were an easier target and easier to manipulate than men. Women on average spend far more on consumerist products than men ever do.

This is what many historians point out whenever they study the 1933 - 1937 era of Germany's history. By around 1938 - 1939 it was becoming more clear that he never had good intentions, that he was intent on gaining absolute power.

  1689. I don't agree with the idea of ignoring sports entirely. What the real argument should be is how people like Roger Goodell of the NFL and the people who run the NBA have turned these sports into an over commercialized, corporate behemoth. People are free to watch their local sport team. Nobody is stopping them. However, I stopped watching mainstream sports because of the over commercialization and the fact that trying to attend these games in person costs you an arm and a leg. People who are coming onto this video saying they aren't sports fans have no real argument. They probably never liked sports to begin with, so their argument of all sports being a waste of time is invalid.

  1690.  @esperago  Vancouver BC is terrible now. This is good advice for 20 something year olds too.

  1691. Because it's always been this way. This talk of autism, depression, over sensitivity and all is honestly because we have the internet now. If YouTube existed 50 years ago and this specific YouTube channel had existed, you bet your life there would be tons of videos covering how the Hippies are ruining everything. Discussion of the Kent State shooting from 1970 would be covered with thousands of response comments. The world wasn't wonderful back then. Kids didn't suddenly get depressed and angry.

  1692. Anything in the Xbox 360 and PS3 era isn't retro in my eyes. Retro to me is something that's at least 20 years old. Point being, there's plenty of stuff from 2006 - 2011ish that's still good. Call of Duty: World of War is still great, void of woke trash and it's not afraid to show some violence (not in The Last of Us Part 2 fashion). Sonic games are still safe, even though Sega of America is utterly woke. That's because Sonic games are developed by the often criticized Sonic Team over at Japan, while the actual quality varies, they're still better than most mainline modern American games. The Yakuza games are ones I can't recommend enough. Just finished Yakuza 6 which is Kiryu's last adventure and I had an utter blast with it. Demon's Souls on the PS5 is utter trash (because it is a poorly handled reboot), the original on the PS3 is still great, released back in 2009.

  1695. It’s too late for that. All the big tech companies and the state government are supporting this.

  1696. This started decades ago. I imagine old Englishmen that grew up in 1940s - 1960s UK are probably depressed with where the nation has gone.

  1697. Did you live in Seattle for a time?
    2
  1698. In Living Color was also diverse because it starred Jim Carrey which put his career on the map. None of us 90’s kids and teenagers were racists. We just saw an entertaining, hilarious variety show.
    2
  1699. 2016 isn’t far back enough. I’d take George W Bush’s era. Interestingly, many current day conservatives opposed Bush, and Cheney did his own dirty laundry behind the scenes. You weren’t old enough to remember Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, so I understand why you pine for 2016, rather than 2006.

  1705.  @williamhickock1203  30 years ago is a long time ago no matter what way you slice it. As somebody who grew up loving California, I recently learned that the public school system there was already bad back in the 90’s. As a young teen I simply didn’t know any better. But for any functional adult back then they probably knew the public schools were getting worse. Today you can expect 10 year olds to be instilled with LGBTQ propaganda, while they outright fail to learn basic reading and math skills.

  1707. That policy has caused a lot of damage to this country.

  1710.  @Particle_Ghost  Japan is the only one keeping the video game industry afloat.
    2
  1711.  @Particle_Ghost  Yes. Gone With the Wind with Clark Gable, and The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland respectively. Hollywood's Golden Age actually ended in the late 1940's. In the 1950's Americans were treated to a bunch of B movie horror and sci-fi that was subpar. The 1960's was the last decade for Old Hollywood. The 1970's marked the beginning of the blockbuster, starting with Jaws and the original Star Wars movie. The 1980's and 1990's was the last time Hollywood was good, but costs exploded and therefore films had to be more grandiose. For contemporary times, these decades were the peak of society. Today we live in the post modern age, and it's a complete garbage fire.
    2
  1712.  @Particle_Ghost  The last Hollywood American movie I watched was Top Gun Maverick with Tom Cruise. Haven’t seen Oppenheimer. I refuse to watch Barbie. That’s pretty much it. It’s done as a movie industry, and arguably its existence. Really sad, considering I grew up on 70s - 90s Hollywood stuff via reruns. Streaming services are a hotbed which explains why shows and movies are added and removed all the time.
    2
  1713.  @Particle_Ghost  The Fallout series insults the fans who loved Fallout 1 + 2 and New Vegas. Shady Sands is apparently in the Boneyard. The writing and dialogue are mediocre.

  1714.  @Particle_Ghost  Yes, Synthetic Man. So I have seen you before.

  1721. This must of been recorded in the late 2000’s. Thomas Sowell was in his late 70’s here and he was still as sharp as ever. Obama took office in 2009, so give or take that was right when this interview was recorded.
    2
  1722.  @ImCarolB  So no Toast of the Town with Ed Sullivan. You probably had the Lone Ranger.

  1725.  @georgewagner7787  They sent kids to the principal who would either give them a warning, or a suspension from school. Today I see kids regularly fighting in the classrooms and in the hallways and the teachers do nothing to stop them.
    2
  1726. I have come to the same conclusion. When I used Facebook a few years ago I saw lots of angry people in the comments, usually regarding our cities and the governor seemingly being out of touch. Seattle has gotten crazy. Used to be better 30 years ago.
    2
  1727.  @bluehernandez3115  At this point homeschool is better than facing the horrible, overly biased public school system California has. I went to highschool there in the 90’s and even back then it was starting to get bad. Now it’s much worse, with kids attending universities and then being bombarded with a thousand different genders, because they took up gender studies as their field of study. I would suggest trade school, but that still costs time and money. Be an engineer, a plumber or an electrician. Do not waste your time on a liberal arts degree in some field like cinema.

  1728. Makes sense where Gen X got their drug habits from.
    2
  1729.  @lordbane5627  First off, I play absolutely no part on modern social media. Especially that hellscape called Twitter. This is really my own observations. And unfortunately, old vintage films from generations past aren't immune to being remade under the guise of revealing new data, which is generally propaganda. The corporations aren't satisfied with just telling a traditional documentary on Marilyn Monroe, they have to put their spin on her legacy. And this is a problem. All the old people that were interviewed in those old documentaries died of old age, so what's left is a generation of Hollywood filmmakers who just want to take from the past and alter it. This is precisely why entertainment from Japan has skyrocketed in recent times, and films from Scandinavia and other parts of Europe are just more captivating. Hollywood is desperate and it's just a sign that western entertainment at least in the United States is going down the tubes. Makes sense why Katy Perry said what she had to say, because it is a hole.

  1730.  @Isaac556x45 This issue stems back decades, but it wasn’t until the late 2000’s/2010’s that it became apparent.

  1732. That’s easy for us to say. Not so easy to convince our federal government.
    2
  1733.  @lydiapicano8806  From what people have told me, Upstate New York seems more conservative. Voting results in counties in the general area lean more Red than Blue. NYC was always Blue as far back as I can remember, but the absolutely insanity that has gone on over the past 10 - 15 years or so has been catastrophic. Not only are NYC residents paying some of the highest electric bills in the country and paying an arm for basic necessities, they have to contend with unruly homeless and a slew of illegal immigrants. In other words, they are paying more for less.
    2
  1734. My grandparents saw the depression and fought in the war that followed afterwards. They struggled and worked to the bone to give my parents a better future. What we’re doing today is giving our children a more depressing future, all while telling them that nihilism is better than fighting to preserve something. It’s complete clown world.
    2
  1735. Largely due to the Governor’s refusal to allow the illegal immigrant problem to go unnoticed, which our president certainly is.

  1736. Very well said.

  1740. Then the Dept of Education happened.

  1741.  @blaynestaleypro Because they’re kids, not adults.
    2
  1742. I feel you. Unfortunately I live in a state that not only does the surgeries Matt Walsh is against, they are highly promoting them. The most vulnerable? Kids who are minors, more specifically kids who have just entered highschool age and kids who are in elementary. This is sickening. I guess I can be thankful I grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s.

  1743. Meanwhile the Soviet Union collapsed in December of 1991. That fact alone should tell you time is ticking for western society.

  1744. Baby Boomers are the good times create weak men.
    2
  1745.  @hartigon  To clarify a little here, Boomers did not create the good times. It was their parents, the WW2 generation that grew up in the 1920s/1930s who did so. They were raised in hard times (1918 flu, Prohibition, WW2).

  1746.  @Adam-rz4wr  I know the one you’re talking about. Amazing that so many people fell for it.

  1750. I was the same with Runescape and World of Warcraft. Used to log in after high school in the mid 2000s and had a lot of fun. Now I've looked at Runescape and the amount of content they put in that screams money is sickening. The old anime was better too. Most of the anime of today is complete garbage.

  1755. Opening the floodgates is the best way to describe this.

  1756. Colorado in 2012 was a swing state. But California people started leaving their state en masse when a certain mayor from SF became Governor of the state. It’s no coincidence. Everything you described has been by design.
    2
  1757. I see this far too often now. Every restaurant I go to in my area has everyone staring at their phones. There is little to no verbal communication, and when there is verbal communication, there’s never any excitement or passion in peoples voices. The internet is hurting our children.
    2
  1758. If you had any inkling of old time black and white shows like Ozzie & Harriet and Leave it To Beaver, it was those Greatest Generation parents pampering their kids with fun and splendor. Who were those kids? Boomers. Boomers went from privileged children in the 1950s to turning around in the late 1960s and becoming the 'don't trust anyone over 30' generation. That did not form in a vacuum, that was the result of cultural changes that they helped cultivate. We now have Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z who all have their share of mental health problems. It's far too late to fix things. It's best to let society collapse and have the survivors rebuild.
    2
  1759.  @slipknotie The Compton I saw back in the 1990’s was disgusting, dirty, bleak, ugly and miserable. The city reached a boiling point during the LA Riots of 1992, shortly after the trial of Rodney King. Compton was a hotbed for gangsta rap, and violent crime soared in the 90’s.

  1760. @user-od5fh3gn4d So your channel was made three weeks ago and from what I see it exists solely to hate on Matt Walsh. Makes fucking sense.

  1765. You just answered your own question in your comment.

  1766.  @gorkyd7912  Those are all cities. Many suburbs and rural areas are relatively safe, one reason being they lack the population density and politics of the urban metropolis.

  1767.  @gorkyd7912  I’ve been to a lot of cities. I’ve been to a lot of rural towns. I can tell you that Chicago is very dangerous.
    2
  1768. It's all deliberate. It's a big reason why life expectancy where I live in America is going downhill. I believe we hit 80 years of age as the average life expectancy at one point and we were going to go beyond that milestone. But the depression in young kids, the chemicals and artificial junk thrown in manufactured foods, the increase in prescriptions, all of this ultimately leads to a less fulfilling life.
    2
  1769.  @14Anon2 Or just buy physical if you love them. I’ve torrented The Three Stooges, and I couldn’t be happier.

  1770.  @steveyoung9271  Stop trolling. I can give Callum a pass, because he’s young. Without Carl, this channel or most of his other channels would not have gotten the attention they received over the years. It takes a certain person to be dedicated and willing to produce quality content like this. What you thought about the people on the Lotus Eaters is irrelevant. It wasn’t their looks or their character, it was their views that got them demonetized. But please, make more insulting comments like yours. I’ll just be sitting on the sidelines eating popcorn.
    2
  1771. He is right.
    2
  1772. Amazon Prime shows are pure propaganda.
    2
  1773. This started in the 1960s, and as the decades passed we kept lowering our standards of etiquette. Part of the reason I stopped going to the movie theaters over a decade ago was because people kept talking and using their cellphones, despite a message on the big screen saying they couldn’t use them. Nobody was around to escort them out while the movie was being played. That combined with rising prices and expensive popcorn convinced me to never go to a theater again.
    2
  1774. Blue eyes are fading away, which is sad.
    2
  1775. Part of it is the public school system. Part of it is lack of good parenting. Part of it is people being self centered and not considering others in the work force. I worked retail for years and have seen everything you described. The problem is this generation lacks accountability, which is why we’re seeing a decline in values and overall workmanship.
    2
  1776.  @chinmusic2722  Matt Walsh is a Millennial himself so you can’t just throw the entire generation under a bus. The problem is Disney is pushing political propaganda, whereas back in the 80’s and 90’s it wasn’t so obvious. Also, regardless of what Disney park it is, it’s too expensive for the average family to attend.

  1777.  @chasitieking4116  Millennials (1981 to 1996), Zoomers (1997 to 2012). Get your facts straight.

  1779.  @Thomasmemoryscentral  The black cop would then be a star of Family Matters, that 90’s era sitcom with Steve Uriel, played by Jaleel White.
    2
  1780.  @cw6795  Jamie Lynn Spears retired from acting after her Nickelodeon show Zoey 101 had ended, partly because she was having a kid. She was never a big star, but she still worked in show business. Britney is a decade older than her, and she was on the old Mickey Mouse Club television show back in the early 1990s, prior to her huge smash in stardom years later. Disney has a long and storied history of grooming their stars, as Hollywood generally does anyway. But we don't know who Britney was working with apart from the other child stars on that show. She was shot into stardom and became an overnight sensation when she was still a minor. Her baby sister Jamie Lynn had a completely different experience. Britney has kids like Jamie, but she has already had legal problems. Articles I've read said she was not a stable person, and I reckon she has never been a stable mother, which leaves scars on the children.

  1781.  @Cf.8463  And you have the Seattle Mariners logo as your avatar. Knowing Seattle like I do, it has fallen to the drug Fentanyl and the poor parts are pretty much now a dystopia, to say the least.

  1801.  @basilbaby7678  Boomers ruined everything good in America.
    2
  1802.  @justanotherotrguy  Yes, you could find that disgusting content. But an unfiltered internet is far better than having a filtered internet. If that means raising the age limit from 13 to 16 - 18, then so be it. But the pros of an unfiltered internet far outweigh the cons. For example, the other night I was trying to find some car models made by Saturn dating back to the late 1990s to the early 2000's. Google search results were giving me the same narrative over and over, so I couldn't find alternatives too easily. YouTube search is the same thing because Google controls this website. Out of many videos I could only find one or two that were related to what I was specifically looking for. So essentially, Google just gives you the same hits again and again, and this just stifles our incentive to find anything different. Kids could stumble onto bad stuff on the internet. I was one of those kids back in the late 90's and early 2000's. Search results were unfiltered back then, so it wasn't hard to find something that kids probably shouldn't be exposed to. But you felt free. Personal websites were handled with more care and effort. That is utterly gone now.

  1803.  @snaker9er  Starting with the Baby Boomers...

  1811.  @ConnortheCanaanite  This basically sums up and reveals the harsh truth that many stepfathers generally face. Too many stepfathers who want to be proper fathers for the wife’s children (who are generally victims because they had to endure their parents divorce, leaving the biological father to be more distant) get royally screwed over. This system is rotten to the core. It’s no wonder feminists get the upper hand in pretty much everything these days.

  1813. Andrew is the only person at DW that I actually like. I don’t like Candace or Ben. Matt Walsh has made some solid talking points, but I don’t like him any more than I do Michael Knowles. As if the far left wasn’t bad enough for the DW, now they got an ensuing conflict from within.
    2
  1814.  @Falconlibrary  It’s always been this way man. Brooke Hogan became known through her father Hulk Hogan, famous wrestler from the 1980’s. Children of famous stars who were given a pampered life are going to be put above those who had to bust themselves to get food on the table.
    2
  1815. About the same time more rated R movies starting coming to the forefront, and stuff like Dumb & Dumber was getting praised despite it being about two imbeciles with less than ideal standards.
    2
  1816. Go watch old shows from the 1950’s and 1960’s that people here have uploaded. I don’t want you to look at scripted shows like The Honeymooners or I Love Lucy, but some of the shows that were taped live that exist thru old kinoscope recordings. Most of the regular people back then did not receive a former education. But despite only being high school graduates or dropouts, they were better capable of critical thinking, analyzing things, and were more self sufficient. Their dialogue was also more sophisticated, and they had a much bigger vocabulary. People today are getting dumbed down on purpose, and it’s all by design.

  1824.  @markzuckergecko621  Leftist people had a point back in the 1990s. Here in America a lot of young people were against Neo-Conservatism. Ronald Reagan helped bring out the radicals back in the 1980s and then during the Clinton Administration there was a big push by the Democrats. Nowadays a classic Liberal like me has no place in Leftist circles. They don’t believe in Democracy and would much rather undermine it. The sheer lunacy of the Far Left absolutely deserves to be criticized.

  1828.  @Bender_B._Rodriguez  Grunge was my life, so it feels good to me no matter what mood I'm in. The absolute garbage that passes for music today, you couldn't pay me to listen to it after just one or two minutes of listening to the songs.

  1834.  @nancybaumgartner6774  I remember thinking it was all Hollywood. But no, they actually did dress this way. Etiquette and respect were expectations, both from the pilots and stewardesses and the passengers.

  1835.  @blaketrent8548  My grandmother who passed away in 2016 told me schools were much more disciplined in the 1930’s and 1940’s when she was growing up. They were also taught to do arithmetic, write in cursive, know etiquette and learn moral standards. None of this is taught in public schools today.
    2
  1836.  @blaketrent8548  My grandmother worked day care and was a teacher for a time (before my time), she didn’t like how kids were during the 90’s and the 2000’s. She would completely lose it if she saw the kids of today. I’m not trying to disagree with you, I agree with many of your points. The schools have fallen apart and nobody in a position of power seems to care.

  1840. We’re still paying from the Great Recession. It affected the Boomers, Gen X and elder Millennials. Our national debt is crippling our economy, gas is too high, housing is unaffordable, our products are made in other countries to save labor costs. We have made progress in eliminating most cigarette consumption, passed bills to have more clean air and cars, but it’s like you said, we have a long way to go.

  1841. They all sold out.

  1844. I visited Colorado back in 2012, and it probably wasn’t half as bad then.
    2
  1845.  @AS-kw5hd  The reason people have a warped sense of reality is because they watched Leave it To Beaver and other sappy ‘50s television. The real ‘50s was gritty. People smoked like chimneys, drank like fish, drove more recklessly, developed health problems in their 40s/50s, and burned all of their trash in the backyard.

  1856. My guess is Matt Walsh grew up in a very strict household where he was not allowed to play video games, watch television or even read a lot of books. I knew some kids who couldn't have any of that when I was growing up. We were raised in completely different environments. Matt either never got into Dragonball Z, or his parents forbade him from watching any television. I mean cmon. DBZ was practically the most popular anime in the United States back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

  1857.  Spitsworth Connor is still quite young. He is much more eloquent and mature about politics than when I was his age. But we can’t forget that Connor has had some influential people around him, including Carl. Carl may be a ‘Boomer’ so to speak, but without him the Lotus Eaters wouldn’t be here today. Stelios was great in this segment. Very observant and mature for a man of younger years. He would make a good father if he isn’t one already.

  1858. There’s a good reason for that. Most new shows just waste your time.

  1859. What the Boomers made was far better than the junk we get today.
    2
  1860.  @SSN515  Not entirely, the generation before them played a part too. Reagan also pushed forth policies that practically punished the working and middle class. Boomers were the last generation to live a prosperous lifestyle, because they grew up before the government started losing its way in the late 1960’s. Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z. They all got shafted.

  1861.  @barbarossa5700  There is no point in debating with people in YouTube comments. Most people aren’t going to read your dialogue because you possess a wider vocabulary than them. I used to make out responses like yours, then I realized that most people didn’t listen and just attacked me anyway.
    2
  1862.  @barbarossa5700  Same. The problem is I’ve had too many troll comments from people who clearly didn’t read my elaborate commentary. So I understand why you got mad at me.

  1863. Same. I remember when Jenna Marbles and iJustine both had a certain style that would stand out. Now creators are the same because they are either bots or they are chasing trends that guarantee them views.

  1864. The Japanese are killing it in the video game industry as well. The west has long been in decline.

    2
  1866. ⁠ @Littlelikeme92  You are still young. I’m almost 40, and my Filipino grandparents and great grandparents immigrated to the States during the Post War. Saying your generation is colonizers is like saying a 30 year old Asian American is Japanese even though he was born in California. He is still an American. I grew up in the 90s when real diversity was celebrated and we didn’t have all these pointless racial wars like we do now. To see what’s happening is just disgusting.

  1868. This is why I won’t be living in Canada.
    2
  1869. Part of the problem is the Baby Boomer generation and our US government allowed things to get this way. Any time we try to point this stuff out we are either silenced or told we are radicals for even suggesting the border should be monitored. Controlling the borders and protecting the American people should be common sense, not a political hot topic. Instead, Democrats try to gaslight us common folk and then blame us as being awful when a good chunk of their party is largely responsible for this mess. It’s projection, always accusing you of things you didn’t do and never did.

  1870.  @AbundantHarvests It’s been a long time since I watched his sitcom. You’re definitely older than me since I watched his show just as I was entering junior high school. Will Smith is one of countless many whose on screen persona does not match the person off camera. Many of my peers loved Will growing up, we were 10 - 12 years old or so listening to his rap music back when people knew DJ Jazzy Jeff. Hollywood has always had narcissists and some of the absolute worst kind of people, and I suppose it was no different when you met him on the set decades ago.

  1873. ⁠​⁠​⁠ @MykeLewisMusic Cheers was the 1980s. I think you’re referring more to All in the Family, Sanford & Son and Taxi, which wasn’t about a family but it held those same negative effects just the same. Archie Bunker was a cantankerous bigot. When he wasn’t mistreating Edith or trying to downplay Mike at every turn, he was often stupid. Too egotistical and incompetent to be a proper father and man. That was the running gag of his character throughout the show. Fred Sanford was a junk dealer stuck in the old ways. Lamont usually had to pull Fred out of trouble. Fred was another bumbling man, who was a widower and unable to be a proper father. Hollywood has degraded the family man and Americana for at least half a century.
    2
  1874.  @WhosThere26 You’re referring to the Summer of 1967, which occurred 25 years before the Rodney King riots. Two years before that, there was the 1965 Watts riots, which is an area in South Central Los Angeles. Crime and decay has been prevalent there for decades.

  1883. A Gen Xer gave me some words of wisdom at work not too long ago. He remembers back in the 80's when Boomers started taking control of national TV talk shows. He hold me they were about 'tough love' and 'punishment'. I look at Howard Stern as the poster boy of Baby Boomer talk show hosts. Rude, condescending, not sympathetic, treating fellow staff like dirt, the list goes on. Perhaps this was how your generation ended up with guys like Tupac Shakur and Kurt Cobain, both of whom seemed sadistic and unwilling. A portion of you guys probably sniffed glue and did crack and cocaine in the 80's and 90's. But you guys had a justifiable reason for hating Boomers.

  1885.  @tinaUNDAcova  Most of their generation is 14 - 20 year old kids who aren't mature enough to understand a lot of things. They're inexperienced. We forget that many of us were the same way. Teenagers in general tend to be annoying to a lot of older people. It's a cycle of life. The Zoomers are just using technology that the older generations laid down for them.

  1888. We didn't have near the braindead behavior and absolute narcissism back in the 90s and early 2000s when we were growing up as kids. Honestly I just miss the old days of MySpace, YouTube and Facebook. You can argue we were stupid in much the same manner as many Zoomer kids are today back in the day, but I tend to think we weren't so triggered with petty bullshit. The events of the past 4 - 5 years, since the 2016 US Presidential Elections, has really put a number on this generation. I'm glad I grew up when the internet social media landscape largely catered to Millennials before everybody and their dick grandfather jumped on the bandwagon. Everybody says Facebook is shit, but I recall a time when it was "cool" and "great" because it initially appealed to college kids. I was one of the early goers of Twitter, we poked around and had fun long before politics infested the website. I miss the old internet. I was a socially awkward kid with Autism, and the internet in the old days was my safe retreat considering that I was called "different". Now the internet is filled with so much of that bullshit I once sought to escape from, filled with all that garbage the normies post on an everyday basis.

  1897.  @ankavoskuilen1725  Because they’re watching chaos and mental illness stuff on social media. Not actually learning on the internet.
    2
  1898. Leave it to Beaver was also a tad unrealistic. Of course you know everything was glamorized in that show because it was Hollywood. The actual 1950’s was more gritty. Men worked manufacturing, did hands on labor and provided the family income. The women were housewives. In bigger cities, women were secretaries, or simply cashiers or waitresses at diners. Other shows such as Father Knows Best, The Life of Riley, Ozzie & Harriet all presented happy couples. 1950’s TV was pure escapism, with the exception of the daily news, everything it had was an escape from the rigors of everyday life.
    2
  1899.  @Gallifrey218  Yes, and people your age have said the same thing. You ask your peers, and they will likely tell you that even into the 1980’s, it was entirely possible to own a home with children and spouse just working one full time job. We can’t do that anymore. I’ve been to Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and so forth. The despair is real. Young people often can’t get anywhere because everything is too expensive. My 69 year old dad had a father who worked in a slaughter house around the same time you were growing up. Mother looked after the kids (my grandmother had four kids). They lived in the suburbs, and according to what grandma told me, everything was more affordable back then.

  1905. So you want these people to suffer? What happened over a thousand years ago and what is happening now aren’t the same things.

  1906. The recession was 2008. Us then 20 something year olds of the time were already being shafted. Now we can’t afford to own homes, let alone rent a lot of them due to the insane inflation.

  1907. Letting your past bury you as Will here is doing and not properly moving on is one of the worst possible things he has done in his career.

  1908. Funny enough as I read this comment, I’m watching The Muppet Show. Sadly and tragically, I find myself going back to the past to find good entertainment and to find a sense of well being. The same trash that infiltrated our entertainment industry is now prevalent in our education system and our current generation of politics. Today’s youth will not be seeing a good future unless a drastic change happens.
    2
  1909.  @yousaywhatification  I’m starting to doubt Millennials will live as long as the Silent and Boomer generations. Too much sugar, lots of diabetes, poor health diet among my peers in western society and a highly stressful work ethic will take a toll on our well being.
    2
  1910. I can’t help but laugh at some of the idiots in the comments section here. Most of them have one comment to their name, and some are subscribed to channels that are known feminists/leftists here on YT. I don’t agree with everything JP said here, for instance his take on Ronald Reagan was completely off. But I’m not going to doubt that he still cares for the West, particularly Canada as it seems to get more and more authoritarian as time moves forward. Now JP is under attack regarding social media complaints.

  1917.  @dhoelbinger  Your history of this stretches back to before this modern woke movement became mainstream. I'm not sure how old you are though. I recently turned 35 years of age so I'm certainly not "old" by any stretch of the imagination. But in a similar situation as you, I was lied to and manipulated. I was even "hospitalized" at one point back in 2009 when the Financial Crash was happening and Barack Obama was just settling his feet at the White House as president. Was placed under a security camera. None of this was because I was physically hurt or unable to move or walk. It was because I "broke down" one day, and when I told the authorities what had happened they decided to put me in a mental hospital. This particular hospital I was placed in was given horrible reviews by those who stayed there. Complete waste of time, the doctors and nurses there cared more about those government benefits than their patients. I ended up being there for 10 days, and at the time back in 2009 I was in my early 20s. I don't wish to ever re experience this ever again. Unfortunately things have only gotten worse here in the United States. Turns out Obama did nothing beneficiary. Mental health funding was still next to nothing. Then we get Trump and now Biden who is reassuring me at this moment that things aren't going to get better any time soon. Nowadays, I bet there are kids at that same mental hospital who are being given the same garbage that I was given when I was there over a decade ago. The Zoomer generation is really in a world of hurt right now, especially in mental health. I want to try to help them in any way I can, but there's only so much I can do.

  1920. I’m sorry to hear this. Some of my relatives children have also gotten this. All with Masters Degrees in fields like psychology, engineering and other prestigious subjects.

  1928.  @jonathanbonde8808  But this is exactly what's happening. Should we really be surprised that the amount of mass shootings have skyrocketed over the past 20 years? Most of those shootings were committed by kids and young adults in their 20s, who all suffered from mental illness. If the World War II generation was the ideal period for manhood in America, the Millennial and Zoomer generation are proving to be manchildren who still live with their parents, despite the fact they are in their mid 20s and older. The Baby Boomers coddled their children, and we are now seeing the results front and center. It is not pretty. It is downright ugly.
    2
  1929. To help answer your 'About Me' on your own YT channel which is essentially about new age YTers, it is essentially kids and overgrown children who have unfortunately bought into the whole woke ideology that has swept the western world over the past 10 - 15 years. I was permanently banned on a gaming forum website I went to for several years and was recently permanently suspended on X (formally Twitter). People think they have more free speech from Elon but that is a lie, I was suspended for the same kind of "hate speech" that thousands of other people received in the months prior to Elon's takeover. I seriously miss the 1990's and early 2000's. When the internet was the Wild West people could take edgy jokes and the occasional insult.

  1936.  @penny4thought168  His solution is “pull yourself by the bootstraps” which is a line I’ve heard from over 100 Silent/Boomer age college professors and teachers. I have no sympathy for people who misinterpret what has gone on for over a decade, screwing over two generations of young people who could benefit from actual guidance moving forward. I sure as hell didn’t spend tens of thousands of dollars at a university only to want to be told my degree is useless. I have a second degree which has been more useful, but we can’t change the past, therefore we have to accept that we were too naive and young to see that a portion of college degrees are nothing more than fancy pieces of paper. Universities are no longer creating Tim Berners Lee and other smart pioneers in computer tech. They are generating a generation of kids who are woefully ignorant, have woke ideologies, and seek to shut down anybody who is different than them.

  1947. Men have been broken down for decades. What western men don't realize is they are nothing by themselves. It's their work, perseverance and effort that make a man what he is. I see this every day on social media as women, in particular attractive women get dozens and hundreds of comments on their feed within a few hours. A young man who is a shut in, plays video games and is a geek is lucky to get a couple dozen friends on social media. That man isn't marriage material anyways, and he never was. Divorces favor the women. Families favor the women. Relationships favor the women. Most of our entertainment favors the women. I'm a guy who turns 40 this coming year and I have absolutely no desire to waste my time on any of these modern western women. We already lost before we started. It's a rigged system and until things change for the better I can't see our society sustaining for much longer.

  1951.  @danielmaspoch4314  I like how you have Arno from Assassin's Creed Unity as your avatar on this website. As a big Assassin's Creed fan, I have practically given up on the series after Valhalla. Ultimately I think Assassin's Creed suffers in much the same fashion that Marvel movies are suffering. Pander to a mass audience, usually younger people, and ditch the ones that have stuck around. Valhalla felt like it had force fed writing. I could not connect with most of the characters. Origins was the last solid AC game. Odyssey suffered from repetition and a story that feel flat. The same way Marvel movies have gone. We all know Ezio is a fan favorite, but much like Marvel, I like to think of Ubisoft as simply fast food. Something to indulge in every now and then, but not something you want to get into frequently.

  1952. You're literally describing an I Love Lucy, Leave it To Beaver existence. People need to remember that those old 1950's shows were entertainment, not reality. Lucy herself had a lot of drama with her husband Desi during the show's run, leading to their divorce in 1960. What I will say, is despite reality being much more grim than those innocent 1950s - 1960s shows, America was much more free. And it shows when I look at old family photos. Thru the 1980s and 1990s, America was still relatively healthy, despite our leaders making critical mistakes which only evolved into worse messes in the decades that followed. Yes kids, you missed out. You missed out on Elvis Presley's 1st guest appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. You missed out on Little House on the Prairie teaching TV audiences that families were important. You missed out on Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show entertaining guests and offering witty humor relevant to the then current day of politics and news. You missed out on the Apple Computer when it came out in 1984. You missed out when internet was beginning to be available on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 computers. You missed out when video games made the switch from 2-D to 3-D, with games like Super Mario 64 revolutionizing the industry. Everything sucks now. Everything America once stood for that was good is gone. The UK went from a cultural powerhouse in the 1960s - 1980s to a dystopian mess with hoards of Indian and African immigrants flooding the country. Gen Z men look like females, I'm not kidding. We used to produce actual men. Look at Sean Connery. Look at men athletes from decades past. Not only did they look older and more durable, they were more mature. Their legacy is spending 10,000 hours on Runescape, killing countless kills on Fortnite, and spending time being simps on Tinder and OF, chasing women they're never going to meet in real life. How's that for a legacy?

  1960.  @DarkVeghetta  I can say with absolute certainty that the America of yesteryear was great. I would argue it’s decline started in the late 80’s, early 90’s. When the Soviet Union collapsed and America became the lone superpower, it started making a lot of dumb decisions that have ended up being catastrophic. At this point, our legal and illegal immigrants seem to be doing better. White America, as in the Caucasian race that makes up a large chunk of America, is in serious trouble. We have ideologies left and right tell us that white people are bad. I am not making this up. Watch some Matt Walsh to get an idea of how White America is declining. Asians, both foreign and even a portion of Asian Americans, regularly outperform White Americans not only at the schools but also at the jobs. It’s the same thing with Indian people, those who immigrated from the country of India tend to outperform. It is sad, because 1950s - 1990s era America had such strong figures. Even if there were some insane people (and there truly were back then), the powers of those times wouldn’t of allowed things to deteriorate like they have now.

  1961. It was Steve Urkel who got Family Matters really going. None of us 90's kids were racist back then. We didn't see Carl in a different light, we just saw him as a dad. Sad what's happened to our country over the past 15 years or so.

  1967.  @justateapot3847  This completely applies to Millennials. I believe the BLM movement is a direct result of Millennials getting their way. Generation Z is just taking what Millennials helped start, using arguments that appeal to emotion instead of using truths and critical thinking skills in a neutral format. Lebron James is a great example of a Millennial who is self entitled, overly narcissistic, and overly emotional. Just look at his Twitter. Guys like Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan would NEVER have displayed such filth and embarrassment, even if they had social media and Facebook back in their day. Generation Z just looks up to these athletes and stars of the Millennials and follows suit. Which is why they're so entitled and full of themselves.

  1975. Both of those cartoons date back to early - mid 20th century. I’ve recently watched footage of Mel Blanc, literally the voice of the Looney Tunes and most famous for being the voice of Bugs Bunny. He had a long career in show business and based off the footage I’ve seen, he held a passion. Most of those old timers had a real passion, something sorely lacking in todays sorry excuse of show business personalities. I hope some genuine creators can finally make some good, clean children’s entertainment for the kids of today. They desperately need it. Disney along with others are no longer avenues of good innocent kids entertainment.

  1976.  @dk-814  My dad hates Barney the pink dinosaur. I did too. We also hated the original Teletubbies. We checked the ratings for both of these shows on IMDB, turns out they received abysmally low ratings. Contrast this with Mister Rogers Neighborhood, which got consistently good ratings and reviews over its 30+ year run. Sesame Street, in particular the episodes that came out when Jim Henson was still alive, had very good ratings and viewership.

  1977. In the past, I would get ads on YouTube from Doritos, beverage products like Mountain Dew, some deal that a retailer is selling me on Black Friday. Nothing more, nothing less. Now I get ads from Millennial/Gen Z aged people trying to sell me a smartphone app which is meant to scam people out of their money. Why should I care what some random nobody thinks about an app? Either give me food products that will sell on their own, or stop with the ads altogether.

  1984.  @ValosiTiamata  I don’t praise old TV shows like Leave it to Beaver because they paint a rather unrealistic image of the middle class American family. Everybody in that show was made to look attractive and welcoming, including Beaver’s mother. The actual reality was 1950’s housewives looked much more gritty, while they chain smoked cigarettes and looked around 40 - 50 years old despite being 30 - 40 years. Men worked manufacturing jobs and factory jobs, and back then there was no hearing protection or safety goggles for them. I knew a few elderly people in their 80’s back in the 1990s who all had hearing aids because they worked monotonous factory jobs. But back then, those men were paid really well. Housewives could afford to stay home and look after children, as Leave it to Beaver portrayed. These days, several people look at shows like Seinfeld and The Simpsons in a negative light, because they were the deviation from the traditional American outlook. I hear more people praise old vintage black and white shoes like Andy Griffith and Leave it to Beaver than I do The Simpsons. The Simpsons was a fantastic show 30 years ago, but looking back, American entertainment was already long drifting away from the traditional American lifestyle that defined the 1950s - 1980s. I see 25 year old girls wear bell bottoms and listen to old James Brown era funk and soul music. All these were symbolic of 1970s American culture. Meanwhile I see Gen Xers going back to 1980’s music, praise high top fade hair, idolize Michael Jackson in his prime and watch such shows like Alf and The A Team. Family-oriented programming is on the rise, while stuff that would of been culturally acceptable back in the late 1990s to early - mid 2000s is now far on the decline.

  1991.  @jumpupdown2556 In my opinion it was the Boomers who started this rot. Seinfeld definitely had that Gen X vibe and mentality, but it was a show from Boomers, for Boomers. They started the cultural rot decades earlier. The WW2 generation is really the one that deserves the praise and recognition. They turned America from a broken down economy into a first world superpower. Boomers only lived in the world they created. See Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver and I Love Lucy for a fictional take on that world. If what you claim on Nick at Nite is true then you already know these vintage shows. The rot was already well underway when Beavis & Butthead premiered on MTV. Made by a Boomer for the Gen X crowd. Millennials took what Gen X started and made it worse. Gen Z has given up before they even hit 25 years old. Our society is doomed.

  2002.  @lairdkilbarchan  Kids used to make fun of Michael Jackson back in the 1980s for how weird he was. But his Moonwalk dance performance plus his Thriller album put him on the list of legendary performers. His private life was anything but normal. Hanging a baby from a balcony, having photos taken of you out in public with kids being 'shielded'. Then in one interview I remember back in the 1990s or so, Michael treated the guy interviewing him like garbage, while he was acting like a 10 year old kid climbing trees. Then there was Michael looking White, and then he looked like he came from Asia. A walking plastic surgery disaster, losing all the dark skin he had when he was with the Jackson Five. Finally he dies in June 2009 at the age of 50. Very tragic, but led a completely abnormal life.

  2019. The old rappers had a purpose. Tupac Shakur lived in the hood and watched his friends die in tragic shootouts and get killed by rival gangs. In contrast, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, both part of the Native Tongue movement of the late 80's and 90's, excelled in experimental rap. It was never about the money for them, it was about expression, delving in abstract perspectives, and bonding with each other. Even LL Cool J, as gimmicky as he was, could still rap and make good songs. Destiny looks like he just spends his time 24/7 on a computer, like a lot of Gen Z does and a chunk of Millennials. Andrew Tate can't even be compared to 2Pac, or Biggie Smalls, or old Snoop Doggy Dogg or even Eninem.

  2031.  @f1champ551  I’ve read books written by World War II veterans who saw what was happening back then. And I can’t help but admire and respect them. The ‘Greatest Generation’ in my view had the best qualities (born circa 1902 to 1926). Tough as nails, determined, passionate and compelled with a purpose. My father had a Korean War veteran as a teacher during his freshman year in highschool (1960s). Didn’t take crap from nobody. Very disciplined and stoic according to what my dad told me. Our schools are now filled with narcissistic Millennial teachers who don’t have a real purpose. They’re handing participation awards to the kids, which is no different than what their Boomer parents did to them. I hate this Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok generation of adult children. 30 year olds today act like the 16 - 18 year olds from decades ago.

  2036.  @highlordxeleth  Going green is far too expensive for the state our economy is in right now. People feared nuclear was going to bring a radiation meltdown if it malfunctioned, then they took out those tried and true methods for more inefficient means. Figureheads were brainwashing kids back in the late 1990s and 2000s that green was an all in one solution with no real disadvantages. It ain't the kids, it's the corporations and figureheads waving a giant wand over the general populace, like they're sheep and goats in a big herd.

  2037.  @Benjamin-kincaid  To put this into more perspective for younger Millennials. Reagan was right wing. Hollywood came out with movies that entertained families. He also made policies that helped put America First, because he was a Conservative who was initially a Democrat. The 1970’s, in contrast, were progressive. Violence and crime rose. A decade earlier, LBJ, a prominent left wing President, forced American troops to be deployed in Vietnam, a war that resulted in over 50,000 Americans dead. Social changes such as the Hippie Movement also occurred under LBJ’s direction.

  2039. A lot of my peers got fired for posting angry comments regarding their superiors at their jobs when I worked at McDonalds and Walmart circa 2008 - 2011. Definitely was a hard learning lesson for them. The old days of Facebook and MySpace was full of idiocy, but we were better tuned to not take bullshit so seriously and we could sign off. Back then most of us had flip phones that were incapable of accessing the internet in a timely manner so we had to use a laptop or desktop to access the internet. Many computers were hooked wired to the internet, since WI-FI was pretty bad with weak reception in those days. As far as I'm concerned, the era that was 2003 - 2006 was the last of the "Golden Era" of the internet. It was great while it lasted. We used Newgrounds, shared music on MySpace, hanged out on Facebook back when it was targeted to college students, whom Mark Zuckerberg was at the time he made the website. The big difference is we came up when the internet was still innovating and expanding. The Zoomers are coming up when it has long been established, and are more prone to being swayed by "influencers". Our generation had to work harder to find information. Wikipedia in its early days was far less vast and much smaller than it is today. I miss the early - mid 2000s.

  2040.  @timothyrday1390  I miss those days. Believe me. I get tired of these Zoomer kids acting like they're King Shit and think anybody older than them is wrong. When you grow up kids, you'll hopefully learn there is more to life than living off of Twitter and disagreeing with anybody who offers a different opinion. Then again, they dwell inside their homes all the time and rarely venture outside. They haven't "touched grass", which has now become a popular term for a lot of Zoomers nowadays.

  2045. I’ve been saying this ever since Rihanna and Justin Bieber got big back in the mid 2000s. My own generation has a hand in this mediocrity we’re seeing today, as we were lied to and manipulated when it came to giant contracts from big labels run by massive corporations. Justin Bieber has been mediocre his entire career. I’m not insulting the guy, I don’t think he really did any wrongdoing. He was a victim of the system and the environment he was brought up in. Same with Rihanna and Taylor Swift. The Zoomers born past the year 2000 don’t know any better, because as kids they fully bought into the social media craze. Those who are finally seeing the light of day are turning to older music. Shouldn’t be a coincidence that young people are just now discovering Elvis Presley and The Beatles, who end up being massive fans of their work and legacy.

  2052. Entirely accurate. The best thing that these "snowflakes" back in the 1980s could of done was try to find one or two other people in their neighborhood who shared the same thoughts. They were a vocal minority even back then. But thanks to social media being accessible to over a billion people, they can collectively all gather together and form a mob. And that is exactly what they have done. In the past they would read a newspaper article or watch a television show and regard it as offensive. However, due to the lack of technology there was no real way to spread that hatred. There were no "real" cellphones back then either, you had to call up people on an old fashioned landline phone, so contacting multiple people was slow and tedious.

  2055.  @wadestache8887  It got too corporate. That’s why I stopped watching.
    2
  2056.  @mandysue87  America has done this for decades. The last time America didn’t try to outsource everything was when the Baby Boomers were young in the 1970’s and got their jobs in manufacturing when union benefits wasn’t seen as a bad thing. Beginning with Ronald Reagan, these standards began to tear apart and the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) deal that got its start in the 1980’s paved the way for outsourcing as we know it. This was already happening when Matt Walsh himself was barely able to walk as a baby.

  2057. I work with a lot of 16 - 20 year old kids at my job and I see this attitude regularly. It’s sad. Deep down they want to raise a family and be happy, but they’re bogged down by the rising inflation, insane gas prices and being unable to rent a good apartment, let alone a halfway decent one. This was definitely not the case 20 - 30 years ago.

  2058. @Rene Media It benefits the top 1 percent and leaves everybody else scrambling to meet basic demands.

  2059. Now you just hear people talking nonsense with elevated voices on corporate media. Nothing insightful and genuine like this video.

  2060.  @ibrokeintourhouseandstoleu5453  Their minds are being manipulated.

  2061.  @TheMidnightKarneval  Completely true.

  2062. If you are from Generation X or earlier, this comment relates with you a lot more. Millennials were largely raised on MySpace and later Facebook/Instagram. I remember using MySpace in the mid 2000s and the young women on there were already raising unrealistically high expectations for men. It was already a superficial, fake culture that we were embracing then. Things have only gotten worse and as someone like me who is 35, soon to be 36 years old, I have not only given up on finding sensible women out there, I have given up on those modern dating apps showing any sense of honesty and realism. Because those apps don't show those things. So I'm single, and I'm content with staying this way.
    2
  2063. And this was back in the 1980’s. Education was already getting dumbed down back then.
    2
  2064. Boomers ruined a lot of crap.
    2
  2065.  @JustLindaThings  Because you have common sense. These people don’t.
    2
  2066. Sounds like a Karen interviewed you.
    2
  2067. As an early Millennial I agree with you. We and the Gen Xers just dealt with it. Never talked about it out in the open, never brought it up except in certain situations with our therapists. These kids are pathetic.
    2
  2068. I can’t remember the last time welfare was actually regulated.
    2
  2069.  @VeronicaCawelti  America can’t even help their poor, disabled military veterans.
    2
  2070.  @VeronicaCawelti  You’re also talking about a VA that did not adapt to the internet age. So they were already messed up long before you became a veteran.
    2
  2071. Agreed. I mostly play old stuff and indies.
    2
  2072. Has been failing for decades. But it has gotten worse over the past 10 years.
    2
  2073.  @thepenultimateninja5797  I grew up and lived in California. I don’t expect things to be the same and resemble what they were in the 80’s and 90’s. But the politicians there are definitely ruining the state. Now, I’ve been to Idaho, Montana, South Dakota and so forth. The rural areas there, while a little desolate, generally have nice people who just want to be left alone. California in contrast just isn’t a great place to live anymore.
    2
  2074. Portland and Salem are cesspools. I’ve been to both cities many times.
    2
  2075.  @stefaniaponitz5738  I never liked the old Teletubbies, you know the show that came out in the late 90’s. This new Teletubbies makes the old Teletubbies look like Oscar worthy material in comparison.

  2076. Until these leftists are stripped of power, expect them to come up with more heinous ideas like this.

  2077. I haven’t been back in a few years now.

  2078. Both men are rolling in their graves over the decline of this country.

  2079.  @isaacdrum8009  You hit the nail on the head.
    2
  2080. The ones who actually did were the WW2 generation. They’re dead from old age.
    2
  2081. As a Gen Xer your generation was the first to get fucked over.
    2
  2082.  @jesusisdead The Draft was demolished in 1972 - 1974ish. Elder Boomers were sent overseas to fight in Asia during the late 1960’s. However, a portion of the US military was Silent Generation soldiers. Many of whom are now dead. Boomers were the low ranking ones due to their young ages. Middle to late Boomers for the most part have never served in the military. So their opinions on actually serving and picking yourself by the bootstraps are garbage.
    2
  2083. Hollywood has been under the Left for a long, long time. At least back in Walt Disney’s time, the leftists actually tried to make compelling stories with actors that had genuine experience at the theater. Sickos run Hollywood and they always have.

  2086. I played Fallout 2 recently which made me feel that todays writing really doesn’t serve a purpose.
    2
  2087.  @ldshasnobrain  The 80’s was before the modern internet and social media. So women, as a result, weren’t as manipulated.
    2
  2088.  @southlondon86  That wasn't good sarcasm, but I otherwise agree with your stance on marvel superhero movies.
    2
  2089. There's channels like Turner Classic Movies that show stuff mostly from the 1930s to the 1970s. Recently I've gotten into Old Time Radio which spanned the 1930s - 1950s. Full of class acts, wonderful performances, and a real respect for the audience. You won't get any of those today.
    2
  2090. You were defeated, just like every other White man who could of gone on to having a good career and be a family man. America made a serious mistake by ending manufacturing decades ago and letting other countries produce cheap labor.
    2
  2091. Cuties was the last straw. After I watched that garbage, I canceled the service for good.
    2
  2092.  @davidgleba3832  Barbara Eden was alive last time I checked. One of the few all time greats still with us. Now of course, these shows were long before my time, but I was exposed heavily to them by my parents.
    2
  2093. I grew up seeing celebrities and athletes on the Got Milk ads you saw in magazines and elsewhere. Now I’m told milk is not only racist by the lunatics, I’m also a bad person for drinking it and buying it. I’m so tired of this garbage.
    2
  2094. Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Laurence Olivier and Artie Shaw are all legends, all exceptionally talented in their craft when they were alive. Matt Walsh is a blabbering talking head on the internet. To even compare Matt with Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson is laughable. Matt will be forgotten in a few years time, if not a couple years. In contrast, people still remember Elvis Presley despite being dead since the late 1970s.
    2
  2095. It’s the same with video games. Too much shovelware and pointless micro-transactions that amounts to nothing.
    2
  2096.  @ryandgarland  Looking at your avatar, you look to be around your 40s. As a Millennial, I cannot tell you how accurate your statement is here. I was hammered constantly with messages that going to college will solve everything. News flash. It didn’t. Now you have a generation of 30 something’s with no life direction. Some jobs won’t take them, because they are too old. The Zoomer generation is just as misguided, being told to stick in school only to have absolutely no core experience in being a responsible adult.
    2
  2097.  @eneyi2153  Gen Xers were mistreated by Boomers back in the 80's. Many Boomers, particularly Christian Conservatives, were condescending, and talked down to you, not with you.
    2
  2098. Billy Mays. 😅
    2
  2099. The problem is you’re still young at 28. That means the UK you loved and cherished consisted of the one you saw as a child. Your entire adult life has seen a UK collapsing under inept leadership. 1997 may have been the start of the steep slope but 2013 - 2015 was when things really started to tumble. For people in your age group, your adult lives have been under hardship. In contrast, Tony Blair and his peers experienced England when it was bursting with culture, when The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Queen made music history.

  2100. Read actual, physical books. Grab hold of some older books too. Buy furniture at your local stores. Go to your local farmers market. Buy organic.
    2
  2101. The average lifespan is around 80 years old, or just under it. So that means reaching the age of 40 - 45 years old makes you middle aged. My sister is 40 years old, I'm a few years younger and I'm just shy of my late 30s. The older Millennials are certainly approaching that.
    2
  2102. Will Smith was on top. Many of us watched Fresh Prince of Bel-air when we were young, so it’s not like he was a man who just popped out of the Hollywood system recently. He had a prominent career as a rapper, action movie star, and so on. Decades of work only to be ruined by a woman who never cared for him.
    2
  2103. He needs to do what Tucker Carlson did before him.

  2108.  @jeremyj427  He is a Liberal, and many back in the 90’s during the Clinton era opted out of being responsible parents. Harris is 60, a lifelong Liberal, never had kids. She is one of the last people I would talk to regarding the future of children.

  2111.  @peterc.1419  So you’re saying people are wearing rose tinted goggles when they look back on the ‘old’ internet.
    2
  2112.  @peterc.1419  That’s your profession and your own little group that you collaborate in. You go outside your bubble, there’s a great deal of corruption, just like there always has been throughout human history.
    2
  2113. Late night TV hasn’t been good in a really long time. Old people will point to Johnny Carson as the peak of late night. But even though everything looks great on the surface, it’s often a much different reality behind the scenes. According to people who worked with him, Johnny Carson was a professional who took his work seriously and things had to be the way he wanted them to be. If Johnny asked, he got. Show business personalities of the past took great pride in their work. That’s probably why older people still love Johnny even decades after his show ended. Normal regular people aren’t fit for Hollywood or any show business gig elsewhere. It takes someone who likely had an abused childhood or came from some broken family to fully commit to entertainment. The average person is never going to exceed or overdo.

  2115. You guys noticed that more bots have invaded the comments?

  2116.  @reecesx This guy would probably fall under the Silent Generation. Not as good as the Greatest Generation that preceded them, but not as bad as the Boomers.
    2
  2117.  @DJ-jq5rh  I grew up thinking the USAF was patriotic and fighting for one’s country. Today I think of it has having the same ideologies that have plagued other industries. The NPCs, many of whom are women, largely live a 9 to 5 work schedule. People working nights largely don’t fall with with the woke mindset. And I can say this from experience.
    2
  2118. Despite all that has been said in the comments here, I still consider myself a 90's Democrat. I'm not left and extreme enough for the establishment anymore. Ever since they became full on authoritarians and dropped the 'Live and Let Live' label, I stopped supporting them.

  2119.  @ellie698 Judy Garland is probably the most famous example.

  2120. Is the number in your username the year you were born?
    2
  2121.  @Butlerwilliamp1986  Join the club. Seems older Millennials like you and I were/are victims of a broken system. A number of us have finally broke away and gotten our own homes, lives and families, but none of it has been easy.
    2
  2122.  @zakofrx  Same here. Watched Predator (1987) for the first time recently and I was greatly entertained.
    2
  2123. Agree. These nerds and young people also expressed a lot more creativity and passion for the work they put on the internet. It was certainly awesome back in 1998 - 2001 to see all the unique looking websites, done in formats that pushed the bar for innovation in making great designs. Nowadays most websites are dry with no real inspiration. I learned a while back that Wix and WordPress are generally used to make websites now. HTML and CSS are barely used anymore. The internet is far more censored because any asshole can go on their smartphone and gain access with just a swipe and a button press. The old internet was a gold mine of free flowing ideas and sharing of information. I spent hours talking to people in chat rooms and meeting a lot of great folks out there who were passionate. I suppose you can still meet these people today, but many of us are divided and mean spirited by what today's internet is doing. Tolerance is low and in the near future there will be no tolerance unless drastic change can happen. Sadly, with Google and the other corporate giants controlling much of the internet, that is very unlikely to happen.

    2
  2126.  @callspreadzero854  A Parish government is one that "independently" elects state officials such as police sheriffs, coroners and district attorneys. That's why they were driving brand new ATVs and SUVs. It's one of the most obvious signs of corruption that I can think of.
    2
  2127.  hell ño  Same. I remember getting a Cingular flip phone back in the early 2000s thinking it was awesome. Convenient to have, but not enough to where it simply took over our life. Every other person I see nowadays either has their face buried in their smartphone or their face buried on a computer/television screen.

  2128.  @GT-mn3bx Seattle is probably the least extreme of the three. I went to both Portland and San Fran a few years back. Expensive housing and homeless gave me the green light to never live in either city.

  2135.  @johnmcafee9663  Why did you pick your name based on an antivirus founder who went AWOL?
    2
  2136.  @TheAlison1456  Well I was curious about this random dude picking his name, because McAfee is not somebody who should be remembered fondly. I used to be part of the Left, but the rise of Anita Sarkeesian and this feminist movement ensured I will never side with them again. I don’t exactly side entirely with conservatives, especially those of you subscribed to Lotus Eaters. But I tend to think conservatives, moderate conservatives in particular, are more sane and care more for tradition than the Left. The Left as far as I’m concerned just wants to tear everything down that worked in the recent past.

  2137.  @Itachipwnsnubcakes You’re being arrogant.

  2141. Like I tell people, this is 🤡 world.

  2142.  @pistonburner6448 This explains why small businesses are suffering across the board in the West while big corporations continue to suck things dry and profit even more.
    2
  2143.  @pistonburner6448 This was likely back in the mid 20th Century. For a few decades now, corporations take control of the finances and direction in a construction project. The small business people and honest workers respectively, always lose out.
    2
  2144. Our leaders are to blame. And I’m not being generation specific. Reagan brought a lot of garbage in, so did Nixon before him. Obama has and now Biden is doing it.
    2
  2145. When I was a kid in the early 90’s I climbed up to the top of the dirt mound and got myself dirty. My mom hated me doing this initially, but she knew it was a valuable life lesson.
    2
  2146. Much worse. At least the old man Sowell was debating with could take a step back and analyze some things. Today’s “intellectuals” don’t do that at all.

  2147. They’ve already invaded England. It’s no longer about English gentlemen and upholding the values that made the old British Empire such a powerful influence for so long.

  2155. I recently watched an old 1978 documentary which had Thomas Sowell on it. Milton Friedman was the most visible person in the documentary, but the segment with Sowell was nothing short of brilliant.

  2156. Any Boomer who watches MSNBC 24/7 shouldn't be taken seriously. My advice is limit your interactions with your mother, or simply cut your relations with her.
    2
  2157. Other people your age have told me police used to enforce the law much better back then. There were always corrupt officers, but all the reports I’ve heard these past couple years regarding the police not doing their job properly indicates that the standards have drastically lowered. I live close to a liberal city and the police do not respond to shoplifters, traffic violations, vandalism (broken windows) or disturbing the general public. I no longer go to this city.
    2
  2158. It’s always been a man’s job. They have the muscle mass, strength and endurance to do that hard work. Most women can’t put up with it, which is why so many get office positions and so on.
    2
  2159.  @nancybaumgartner6774  Many young modern women make up excuses. They can’t even do their work properly which has little to nothing involving any actual physical work. It’s insane.

  2160.  @notsae66  Same here. I hope the tide turns at some point and positivity can reign supreme.
    2
  2161. As far as I'm concerned, Baby Boomers were the last ones to make marriage worth it. Gen Xers, Millennials and Zoomers make up a huge chunk of the movement. The women in these generations are utterly insane.

  2162. Sadly, the progressives and modern day liberals want everyone to be the same and talk the same.

  2165.  @Mercipher21  Flip phones didn’t make the scene until 2001 - 2003. Before that, kids had brick phones, and being inside of buildings meant no cell signal.

  2170. Kratos. Unfortunately they already made the series woke.
    2
  2171. It’s simple. Because they can’t hear anything that doesn’t agree with them. The system brought them up this way. And this has been ongoing for decades now, since at least the 80’s and 90’s, according to Boomers I know who worked in the education system back then.
    2
  2172. They destroy everything. And I’ve also noticed things becoming more derelict.
    2
  2173. And the economy was this way since the 1980’s. Gen X saw this coming 30 years ago.
    2
  2174. It's this way with appliances. My grandmother had a old refrigerator from the late 1950s still intact over 30 years later when I got around to using it as a kid. Thing was built solid. The refrigerator I bought back in 2018 has already had multiple issues. Shelves breaking, ice machine going bad, lights not working, etc. Don't get me started on some kitchen stoves. Glasstop is a giant scam. Burner stoves were made with gas fuel going back to the mid 20th century. They were far more reliable and the food tasted better on them.

  2175.  @MajinMist603  Everything that has a beginning has an end. For America, we’re currently experiencing the beginning of the end.
    2
  2176.  @Skank_and_Gutterboy  I’m sort of envious that you only had that to pay. When I finished my degree I had to pay a lot more in debt. It’s all thanks to tuition rising and the wages not being able to afford the costs. Why Zoomers are working two jobs to make ends meet.
    2
  2177. Baltimore is just a bad city in general.
    2
  2178. It was a mistake apparently. California generally ranks near the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to grade school reading skills and math skills.

  2179. Glad I went to school in the 90’s.
    2
  2180.  @Living_Dead_Girrl  The older Millennials got lucky. You along with your peers were the first of your generation to get the short end of the stick. You guys fought a war in Iraq under false pretenses. George W Bush preached the so called "War on Terror", Obama only continued where he left off. America is fucked though. I already knew some people born around the same year you were (1987) who died either due to cancer, to drugs, to accidents (mostly likely under the influence), or by committing suicide. The Zoomers are braindead. Can't stand most of them, and their role models are nearly non-existent.

  2181. She sounds like a college dorm girl.

  2182.  @DandelionCrayons You still look fairly young. You basically quit after you refused to be a cog in a broken system.

    2
  2190. And I thought Canada was bad…
    2
  2191.  @ORIGINALCRESTED  California doesn’t have a good K thru 12 education system. I lived in California for a time so I know this first hand. Universities are fairly good, but you need to pay a lot for education, for any university really. I’m 34 soon to be 35 years old so I pretty much see where you’re coming from. I wouldn’t classify you as part of the oldest Millennials, you are in the middle. Younger Millennials identity with Zoomers much more easily than they do with older Millennials. The older bracket are more similar to Gen X, who on the outside seemed to be the rebel, do it my own way generation. I was no doubt influenced by Gen X, I was brought up by them so I have more of a rebellious attitude than others might. Zoomers have promise, but unfortunately I don’t see things improving for a while. I have respect for Greta Thunberg, she is a young woman concerned for climate change and I’m completely on board for her. You need role models and people in your inner life who can motivate you. You also need a bit of a father figure to better understand what it means to be a responsible man. My generation has too many ‘beta males’, ‘soy men’ and men who don’t want to take leadership positions. I’ve seen a lot of my peers who fit these traits, despite the fact they’re well in their 30s. Sometimes I have to wonder if they ever left college.

  2193. In the early 90’s I had a speech impediment involving “Th”. I couldn’t touch my front two teeth with my tongue and make the sound. My school gave me a special ed teacher when I was around 6 - 7 back then and we practiced relentlessly. It took years, but when I got to 10 or so I had no problem with it anymore. Neither the schools nor the parents teach these sort of things anymore. If you wondered why 15 year olds are in a state of arrested development, this is a big reason why.

  2197.  @j-dided  Your generation was the last one to actually live during the "we the people" timeline. It hasn't been "we the people" in decades. If you look at the average salary of the CEO today compared to that in the 1980s, it is exponentially bigger. Meanwhile, workers have seen unions dissipate entirely. Working a summer job isn't going to give the kid enough money to pay for college tuition. Managers now regularly mistreat their employees, and I've worked at Walmart, Best Buy, Target, etc. I've done desk jobs, temp jobs and jobs where I'm constantly moving in a warehouse. Doesn't matter. There's no real growth for employees anymore. I've worked over a dozen jobs in my lifetime, whereas the Baby Boomer generation back in the 1970s and 1980s was able to get by with one or two steady jobs that guaranteed retirement in a few decades. And then our kids have to be subject to seeing statues of historical statues removed because they were seen as offensive? Really what is going on here?

  2209. California is probably the worst. From my grandparents old photo albums I’ve looked at vintage photos from the 1950’s - 1970’s. Even Hollywood, which they visited a couple times, looked far more beautiful and lively than it does now. The rest of the state was beautiful. Los Angeles when I went there last year was a complete train wreck, filled with drug abusers, typical fast food places, and a feeling of despair, since real estate is out of reach down there for the average person.

  2214. The 90’s was the last good generation on music. Say what you will on Tupac Shakur, but the guy could rap. I listened to TLC in highschool back in the 90’s, and while they revealed parts of themselves that kids shouldn’t have seen, they are literally PG compared to what we see today.

  2216. This describes every city in California. The culture and more jovial lifestyles have been removed to make room for extracting capital and maintaining GDP. That is why California remains as the #1 state in America in GDP, yet the quality of living continues to decline as more average people find themselves homeless or having to settle for less.
    2
  2217. I came across old talk shows and game shows dating from the 50’s and 60’s here on YouTube. A number of them were stupid, but what stuck me was not necessarily the way the people spoke, but how they presented themselves. They were far more articulate, eloquent and thoughtful, with probably less formal education.

  2226. Go look at old photographs of 1960’s and 1970’s America. Very few people were obese, let alone fat. Even Hollywood starlet Monroe, who was considered plump in her day, was far less fat than what I see in today’s women.

  2247. I’m glad I’m old enough to vividly remember Robin Williams performance as the Genie in Aladdin, along with a score of good music. Back in 1992. Disney today doesn’t hold a candle to the Disney films and shows we got 30 years ago.
    2
  2248.  @amiller5885  This nonsense is fueled by the same media who scapegoated the Millennials. Now they’re doing this to Zoomers because they are new and relevant, they keep the views accumulating, resulting in more exposure and profit. It absolutely makes me sick.

  2253. @ Idaho is more hardcore Conservative. East Washington and East Oregon are in contrast soft conservatives. Overall I'm a left leaning individual, but I do not stand for leftist tyranny, which is what leftists have become at this point. I also do not stand for hyper religious ideology and neither do I stand for white nationalism, both far right positions that completely disregard me as a Mixed individual who advocates for free religion.

  2258. They had agents to keep them in line.

  2259.  @Attmay  In a sense. Both the Greatest Generation and SIlent Generations struggled to an extent. The Great Depression and WW2 defined the Greatest Generation, whereas 1950s/1960s Segregation and issues like nuclear threats (Cuban Missile Crisis) and the Vietnam War were moreso the Silent Generation. Older Boomers were the Hippies of the 60's. Younger Boomers were the Yuppies of the 80's. Both of them, to a degree, have done a lot to damage America. Most Boomers I know voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 respectively, who did away with mental homes and raised taxes several times. They also approved of NAFTA and a good number of mega corporations are controller by Boomers. They are cold, narcissistic and selfish. This wasn't so much the case with their parents, who had to learn to preserve and value during the Great Depression and WW2. Even the Silent Generation who were too young to experience those events seem much more down to earth and fair.

  2261. Social media has killed Gen Z’s passion for life.

  2262. If we’re being honest here, this stuff started in the PS3/360 era. It’s why I look at passion projects from the PS2 era with fondness because at that time publishers weren’t the corporate behemoths they are today. All Microsoft has done is suck away and kill the passion of their IPs. Forza Horizon is the only thing going for them. Fable, Gears of War and Halo are all dead to me.

    2
  2266.  @AndTheCorrectAnswerIs  People need to understand that those old John Wayne and Gary Cooper movies were made mostly for entertainment. That's why every film they made there had to be at least some conflict, some crime event to happen that would result in a shootout scene. Otherwise more people would be bored which would of resulted in the films being box office flops. I suppose people think horses that were specifically picked for those old Hollywood movies were able to gallop while they drawn stagecoaches full of people and supplies across large distances, without getting tired.

  2267. I normally say "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it", but in this case, the power players actually do know their history and are repeating it anyway. They are pure evil.

  2268. Sowell made an appearance on Fox News, but he is largely absent from the media because none of the clueless people can challenge or question him in any meaningful way. He is a national treasure, and he deserves to have more people read his books.

  2284.  @kurtcpi5670  The reason I ask is because my generation is absolutely livid when it comes to certain things, but few of us know any trade or how to provide for ourselves. We were all told to get liberal art degrees, but all that has done is give young people a fancy piece of paper, nothing else. This was back in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. Now I hear of Zoomers who must rely on student loans to get their former education but that education does not teach them to be self sufficient. A liberal arts degree is setting them up for failure. Boomers like yourself say to us the decline started sometime in the 1980’s. We can’t get decent homes. We can barely afford our rented spaces, even studio apartments are beginning to cost too much. My generation is full of angry feminists who tossed out family in place of leftist values. I trust the Zoomer generation to actually work towards a better future. But with the old people in charge of our institutions, it’s going to be a long time before that is going to come to fruition.

  2285.  @irkhanbasc  Wise words right here.

  2286. Portland needs this desperately.
    2
  2287. Go into the trades, that’s all I can say at this point. That much debt just to try to get an internship is insanity. No wonder so many young people are depressed, suicidal and prone to taking drugs.
    2
  2288. I don't know how old you are, but to go back that far with fond memories really is a reminder of how much better American culture was. These guys who are part of the podcast posted that old 80s Wendy's commercial, and that ad that shows a happy family being served pizza. This was not a mistake, it was carefully planned and executed. The modern ugliness of most fast food restaurants was designed with social engineering in mind. Call it psychological warfare if you will. I can't think of another time in my history of 37 years of existence where we had a bigger gap between the super rich and elite.... and the average person. These companies have more money and power than they ever did. They're not investing into the community experience. They're investing in the woke agenda and making you feel as miserable and depressed as humanly possible. I recommend the recent video this YouTube channel did on Disney trying to indoctrinate our generation of kids into learning math and science with wokeism and racial equality in mind. And Disney, including the late great Walt Disney himself, got big in California. So it really is California being the problem after all, just like most any crap trend that comes out of there.

  2292. The problem is Hollywoke used to come out with some pretty good stuff in the 1980s, early 1990s. Everything from the early 2000s onward has been utter tripe. It’s no wonder so many young people are turning to Japanese anime and Korean films.
    2
  2293. The 1990s and no later than 2005 - 2010 at the very latest. Everything after that became the ultra-progressive social justice movement.
    2
  2294.  @viggotannhauser7251  That's a big age gap. There's going to be generational gaps. My aunt later in life fell in love with someone who was over 20 years younger than her. She is a Baby Boomer, the man she eventually married was a Gen Xer. The marriage lasted only two years, they couldn't relate with a lot of things because there was a wide gap between them in age. They divorced and both went their separate ways. At 36 I want someone in my age group (30's) who grew up on a lot of the things I grew up on, and share similar interests. I cannot date a 18 year old girl simply because the gap is too wide, there's going to be a lot we're not going to be able to relate to because what I experienced growing up, she wasn't around to see. I won't date girls in their early 20's either for the same reason.

  2300. Irish gangsters being dumb and southern Whites portraying the same thing are practically identical. It’s all in the blood and culture.
    2
  2301. Same. My family had conflicting values. Some of us were Athiests. Others were Christians. But when we had family gatherings, they had to contain their political views, because all the grownups had kids. I was one of those kids. We used to gather around 4 - 5 times a year, at least 20 people. Politics did not sour the conversations. We didn’t have cable TV, only local TV with a dozen channels. Barely any video games, and certainly no internet. Now I see families regularly using smartphones. If I don’t see families I see singles walking outside glued to their screens, even at parks where you would normally see family get togethers.
    2
  2302. Same happened to me. Even in actual autistic communities (I’m very autistic and have Asperger’s) I have been canceled on Facebook. Just an environment that is not good to be in.

  2306.  @richardlbowles  I won’t pretend I did.
    2
  2307. I agree, though none of this is new, it’s been cultivating for decades. However I will say that as recently as 20 - 25 years ago (1998 to 2004ish), we didn’t have as many homeless. Police did their job better. NYC and Philadelphia weren’t as bad either. Wages paid better when you take into account what the average worker was able to afford.

  2308. The problem is giant corporations and our government are pushing this. That’s why it’s not ending.

  2309. By old cars we mean 1990’s - 2000’s era cars. Anything before that is vintage and is generally too expensive for the average person to afford. Pre smart digital equipment. I think earlier GPS devices from the 2000’s are this way. You’re essentially doing what we all did during the era of the Wild West Internet. Sadly this means using older technology because the new stuff is anti consumer.

  2310. 35 years ago was the 1980’s. If you lived paycheck to paycheck back then you were doing something wrong.

  2312.  @juliemauger6183 One of the differences is your parents generation, who is my grandparents generation, were more devoutly religious. Both sides of my family were Catholic. They took it seriously way back in the 1950s - 1960s. The late 1960’s was when those values were starting to slip away because the Boomers were breaking away from religion. ‘Never trust anyone over 30’ was their motto. I’ve noticed many people before the Boomers being far less narcissistic, more compassionate, and overall just being more mature, nicer people. I remember talking to folks back in the 1990’s who were in their 80’s and they were still capable of joy, laughter and giving. Every generation that has come after the Greatest/Silent generation has come out progressively worse and now we have Gen Z who fail to do even basic tasks. It’s sad because I myself have had to train a lot of Gen Z at the workplace just to get some work done. Mental illness is now pop culture, and it’s disgusting.

  2319. At this point I'm considering going off grid in the near future. If I'm going to be on the internet I will use it if I have no other option available to get my work done. The 90's internet was the best. Sadly it's long gone.
    2
  2320.  @sandpiperr  You're right. They don't care about anybody but their own. I hate both the Boomers and the Zoomers. One ruined America. The other is too young, stupid and clueless to do anything about repairing the damage that's been done to America.
    2
  2321.  @knarftahw  Just because you have to do it this way to make an impact doesn’t mean you should or even can. There are many books that don’t get credit if any. And while on the subject of podcasts, the market is already flooded with them so they’re no longer a good source to make any meaningful impact. That ship has sailed. Anybody with the video equipment and computer setup can start podcasts. They may get 50,000 - 100,000 subscribers depending on the subjects they talk about on their internet shows. But they will never get big. Sowell is 94 years old, he’s been discussing political issues and social issues since the 1970’s or so. It’s a shame it took so long for so many people to finally discover him. Even when it came to a giant cat roaming free in the San Francisco area, Sowell manages to get a real point across.

  2322. Great movie from the legendary Mel Brooks.

  2325. Are you stating modern Hollywood products, or Hollywood as a whole meaning its entire history? I’m not against someone watching a John Wayne movie or a television sitcom from all those decades ago. But you need to learn that the business that goes on behind closed doors is not the one you see on the screen. This goes for all entertainment media, including books, video games, sports and other avenues. Hollywood is awful. Always has been. But I’m not above telling someone they can’t watch a classic film from time to time. There’s independent films. There’s the movie industry in the UK. There’s plenty of stuff from Scandinavia. Movies from South Korea. It doesn’t have to be Hollywood or Japan.
    2
  2326.  @ORIGINALCRESTED  You're relating to people who are over a decade younger than you. I'm in the same age group as you, born in the mid 1980s, and the peers who are one to two years older and the ones who are one to two years younger are the people I can relate to the most. We grew up with similar things, we grew up in the same time period, we both shared many of the same interests as we entered high school and paid for college tuition when we entered college. We were also subject to the tech boom, which a lot of people here have forgotten. The Zoomer kids were literally just infants when the tech crash happened shortly before 9/11. I cannot relate to a lot of Zoomer kids because they all love the bullshit that I cannot stand. TikTok. Internet challenges like that stupid Tide Pod challenge. Thinks popularity is more important than individuality. The list goes on. There are some Zoomer kids that I've been friends and are quite nice people, who had good parents raise them. But this culture wars bullshit fiasco is what separates us. The obnoxious Zoomer kids are the ones writing in the YouTube comments section. But I think it stands that I feel many will agree with me when those of us born in the mid 1980s and before cannot relate to Zoomer kids born in 1998 - 2003. There is too much of a generation gap there, plus all the technological changes that they were subject to witnessing growing up were vastly different than what we experienced growing up. Generation X was the last generation to truly see an analog world before there was an internet. Millennials were the first to witness the internet age, which is why so many of us have clung to digital technology, and people like Aaron Swartz are regarded as pioneers. Zoomers are coming of age when the Golden Era of the internet is long gone. Everything was already laid out for them when they started the culture wars crap.

  2328. Egyptian and Sumerian history predates agricultural history of Native America. They had written texts and glyphs. The Native Americans did not. The museum just destroyed the only worthwhile reason for going there.

  2329.  @NDB469  You all misunderstood what I said. I simply said that Matt doesn’t understand what younger generations have gone through. Boomers got houses much easier back in the 90’s. That is a fact. Do you know any Gen Z with a house that they didn’t just inherit from their parents? I sure don’t.
    2
  2330.  @Skank_and_Gutterboy  The nice crap is nostalgia. What the Boomers had were career ladders. We don’t have those. Unless you have high credentials then you’re basically stuck in the job you applied for. That’s why we switch jobs so often now. If someone treats us badly, you just get another job somewhere else.

  2334. I mostly hear this organization is completely corrupt. It claims to care about the regions they serve, but stories I heard online tell me otherwise. One of my friends lives not far from Pgh and he has told me not only have routes been cut out in public transportation, it's far more dangerous to travel on the existing routes. Some public transportation is occupied with people who seemingly have no care for others, even if some old lady, young teenager or whomever gets injured from a mugging.

  2335. Thank you for this elaborate post. We can improve, and it starts with removing the arrogant Boomers out of political office.

  2336. I literally grew up on dial-up internet. I wouldn’t trade those 1990’s and early 2000’s memories for anything. I practically sat with a Windows 2000 and later XP computer and browsed the Internet. Back when you could accidentally find shady websites when you didn’t require login information. Those were the days.
    2
  2337.  @autoimmunedefficiencysyndrome  Virtually anything to do with handymen and repair people is going away. My 75 year old Boomer dad went to a TV repair shop to get his TVs fixed. Back then, people were expected to know when to repair their own equipment, or call a repair man if the cost and time was too much on their own. Nowadays we not only throw away modern appliances like used electronics, corporations make it difficult to do any kind of repair work on your own. Apple removed their headphone jack because they learned they would make more money if people bought their crummy ear buds. They make iPhones difficult because honest tech repair people would likely charge less than if the customer were to buy a new phone from Apple instead.
    2
  2338. If the 71 represents the year you were born (1971), then your dislike was justified. My Gen X friends tell me they were treated as latchkey keys. This meant they had to discover things on their own and mature faster, which likely explains why your peers seemed older despite only being 20 - 25 years old. Millennials in contrast were sheltered, grew up on anime and sappy 90’s cartoons, and are more immature in comparison.

  2340. It's a cancer. I'm not the target audience here as I'm a true Millennial, most people here are Gen Z. I feel completely out of place when I talk to kids and young people at my workplace, they just cast this off as some conspiracy. They do this, and yet they believe anything. Fall for anything. That will be the ultimate downfall.

  2345.  @sida3590  My generation isn't doing that great in that department. We're Millennials and we're barely holding ground. Some of us can't even parent, let alone take care of themselves. It's practically impossible for Gen Z and most Millennials to afford any home in San Francisco right now. I wouldn't buy a home there anyway, because chances are you're going to be living next to the homeless people who are causing a ruckus in the neighborhood.

  2352.  @AJHart-eg1ys  Cronkite was the 1950s and 1960s. My only exposure to him was his reaction to the JFK assassination in 1963, since that footage still gets a fair amount of views. As my grandparents used to tell me, they followed Cronkite for decades. And they already felt journalism was slipping by the late 80’s, which was the period I was growing up. I have some memories of Pete Rose, but that was when he returned to the Reds as a player manager. Despite being banned, he still holds the records for games played, base hits and at bat appearances. Hollywood gave you All in the Family and Maude. Both of which were written by writers who lived actual lives, and simply didn’t sit around consuming products. Even the actors Carroll O’Connor and Bea Arthur had their own private lives. It wasn’t peoples business to know about their private lives outside of tabloids, magazines, newspapers and whatever the TV was giving them. Today everything is exposed. It’s the main reason why I’ve completely stopped watching professional wrestling. The podcasts and constant arguments just deter fans, not keep them watching the entertainment. WWE is a corpse that should have died 10 - 15 years ago.

But LBJ practically predates him by close to 20 years in the presidential office. As Millennials (born 1981 - 1996) we get told by our parents that the late 1960's was when America and the entire world took a drastic turn. But we didn't know what exactly or what was going on, because frankly, the 1960s was before our time. Thank you for making this comment, I respect older people like yourself telling a piece of history.

  2357.  @rachelar  I think people in the West like Japan simply because they think it’s different. The United States has been in decline since the 60’s - 70’s, so it’s been in rot for over half a century. Japan around this time was finally getting a break after they spent decades recovering from WW2. In the 80’s they were a cultural powerhouse, producing anime and other works that were influential and innovative. Today, anime is rather dull. It’s basically where modern music is. Some good stuff, but mostly garbage. It will never hit the peak it did. The Beatles was the peak of mainstream music, and there is nothing today that remotely compares to it. Doesn’t come close to the quality and longevity of that music.

  2363.  @XavierJoseGJose  Personally I think the COVID-19 pandemic altered a lot of peoples minds. Leftist cities like San Francisco had longer closures in regards to their schools and it has mentally damaged a lot of impressionable kids. Certain indie games and films are good, but there's garbage that you have to sift through, as you would for anything else. The old times were better. It's just too bad that my niece and nephew, who aren't even 10 years old, will never experience the 90s, early 2000s childhood that I had.
    2
  2364.  @XavierJoseGJose  1990s generation liberalism wasn't without its flaws of course. But it was far less invasive and certainly far less offensive than it is now. There was a time when the left were the good guys. Now they are no better than your typical Far Right conservative, clinging onto their dump flags (you know the former US President that I'm referring to here). Anita helped ruin the liberals. The modern feminist movement is a scam and will stop at nothing to get their message across. Regardless if you support a few feminist values like I do.

  2367.  @wills.5762  I was referring to modern cars. Especially any EV car or brand new model. They’re giving people more red tape. Yes, you can still purchase those 80’s and 90’s cars, but you better be prepared to do maintenance. There’s a lot of older cars out there that require a hefty amount of work, either because the previous owner didn’t care for the vehicle, or the dealer is trying to take shortcuts. You have to drive the cars and actually get a feel for them, making sure they’re in working order. Just looking at them ain’t good enough. Sure, they may look more stylish, as cars of that era typically are, but that doesn’t mean they’re reliable and 100% ready.
    2
  2368.  @johnnybaggins777  That’s basically a sign of our times. I also hate that everything is electronic. I recently visited some old relatives in their 80s last month. Booked my flight, and once I arrived I learned the rental car company I used was short on available vehicles. Desperate, I opted for a Mercedes. Bad decision. Electronics on it were wonky, things like opening windows were convoluted. They made everything more complex, all for hooking up a car to some online account or tracking data. None of this existed when I went to highschool in the late 1990’s. You simply purchased a car from a used dealer or an automobile manufacturer. Things were still analog and mechanical, including the dash. The Mercedes I was driving was electric and had a completely electronic dash. Everything has been cheapened and all this tech is just making things worse.

  2372.  @flashwashington2735  I've always admired the British culture. Not just British culture, but Scotland/Wales/North Ireland/England. Hence, the UK. Unfortunately cities like London are looking less indigenous. That's not to say I'm right wing (I'm slightly left leaning), but this isn't a simple "I want to live in London" ordeal. People are being shipped over. London was always a cultural capital of the West and therefore it was always diverse to an extent. Organic diversity isn't being promoted anymore, it's quite the opposite.

  2377.  @eliseosterbrink8000  It sounds like your teacher is an authoritarian. Somehow we have gone from expressing art to expressing a communist viewpoint. Having massive glass windows from floor to ceiling eliminates privacy. Here in the United States we are drifting more towards what the Soviet Union adopted back in the 1960’s - 1980’s. These people need to understand the dangers of communism and how Big Brother is extremely harmful. But they won’t. Those who forget about history are doomed to repeat it. I’ve noticed a significant number of women young to middle aged who are seemingly ignorant of what came before them. If they know what came before them, they are utterly hateful of it. The Lotus Eaters perfectly nailed this video. What’s happening to architecture in the West is the same as what’s happened with Lord of the Rings. Take what came from the past (JRR Tolkien), twist the past, twist the narrative and the context, and apply a new form of ideology on it. It’s how the modern progressive works. Anyone who has been to New York City, Chicago. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland Oregon and Seattle these past few years can see the damage they have wrought. Charge people ridiculous amounts of money for rent, but kick them out and have them become homeless because most can’t afford to pay. All the new buildings in all of these cities I mentioned are ugly. Seems to be a trend in any area that is controlled by the Left.
    2
  2378.  @eliseosterbrink8000  Great observation and comment. I agree with you. I have noticed this behavior in metropolitan areas, especially in California. New York I hear is no better. The buildings that Lotus Eaters were looking at in this video are just awful. Absolutely insane that one man wanted to replace the Eiffel Tower and the rest of the historic buildings in Paris with these surveillance like towers.

  2398.  @psychotimo  It was only fair to have Martin Luther King day after what the man did in his lifetime. He witnessed a lot of blatant racism, as did Rosa Parks. But they had tolerance. The issues they faced were big issues back then. America was going thru a series of social changes during the 50s, 60s and 70s. The Vietnam War wasn't just some little thing. It was a huge deal. People oppressed. Muhammad Ali refused to go to Vietnam and was punished for his decision. Nowadays, we have to have an intolerance to most anything, and it is depressing. I can look up Lebron James on Twitter and there is a good chance he is bitching about something. A man with so much money and fame, has so much of what he wants, and yet still finds a way to be offended. The #BlackLivesMatter movement is a joke. If you do research on them you will find there is a lot more going on than just a movement trying to fight for equality. The Proud Boys is just as much of a joke, only they're on the opposite spectrum. One leans heavily to the Left, one leans heavily to the Right. Everything else you wrote is spot on. But I wouldn't waste my time arguing with douchebags like frog. It's not worth arguing with someone when they aren't even speaking the same language.

  2405. ⁠ @izzypizzy23  You’re simply stating that conservatives are mostly good. You should state the differences between Liberal and Democrat and Conservative and Republican. Cognitive dissonance was not a serious issue on the old internet, since it was a free for all libertarian minded space for people to explore and discuss. Corporations run the internet and they actively promote cognitive dissonance on purpose. That’s why Left vs Right is so prevalent now because our elites would rather keep us divided than us working together. Conservatives have no real party of their own. Neither do old school liberals/ classic liberals who still see themselves as left leaning on the political spectrum. One percent controls society. Three to four percent are puppets of that one percent. Guess who the three to four percent are? That’s right, extremists.

  2406. Hogan and Chuck are both 80’s childhood memories and favorites. Eastwood was big with young Boomers in the 60s and 70s. These old celebrities aren’t cutting it. They need to pull up the drawbridge and remain in their castles. Eastwood especially. He’s 94 and he is absolutely clueless.

  2407.  @KcDBG  My generation did this back in the early days of MySpace, but it was nothing as severe as what's going on now. Smartphones were a big mistake. Social media was a big mistake. Initially, social media was meant as a way to hook up with old friends, see our family and be able to connect with one another. Those days are long gone. Facebook, for instance, was meant as a platform for college students. It was nothing at all like it is now. People are leaving Facebook in droves. The young people, the 12 - 20 year old age group, are getting manipulated. TikTok is a great tool for brainwashing the youth, and the people who have control over the information couldn't care less.

  2408. It's good that your dad in his 80s is still trying to contact you. But he likely won't be around to see things get worse in the coming years and decades. I'm concerned for Millennials under 40 and the Zoomers more than anything. Right now things are looking pretty bleak for them.

  2409. People would contend the civil rights era of the 1950’s - 1960’s were different, but I disagree. Most don’t know that many White people in that time advocated for minorities to be judged on their merit, not for their skin color. Now we’re walking backwards, being thrust into the system we had in the past. Except that we have faceless organizations approving this garbage.

  2410.  @odinthebiker8240  I was in Oregon a lot back then. The cost of living was much better. We were living in the Tech Boom. The Internet was a huge sensation that gave us a new way to communicate. Corporations now run the internet and things have gotten so bad I am considering moving off the internet. Your rural communities and farm life 30 years ago all wanted to live peacefully and privately. It’s the same today. The difference is you have blue cities trying to control everything, as well as an Oregon governor who is completely out of touch. Failed leadership is why you folks are suffering. But I suggest you read up on Idaho policies before you even consider pushing for this.
    2
  2411.  @odinthebiker8240  “There is no shared identity or culture anymore”. This is what angers me the most. Say what you will about 1990’s America, but we shared a lot of things back then. 1980’s America was a decade of bliss. Computers were optional, not necessary for life but they were there for the nerds to use. If I met you in person we’d likely be talking for hours. And I can see in your comment that you’re not advocating for violence. But unfortunately the powers that be have taken too much. Look at what Amazon has done to ebooks just now, editing them at will even after you bought them. I was handed insults just for saying people should keep their old books. Absolutely insane.

  2412.  @samuelscalise9686  Sounds like the 1960s - 1980s era in the United States, if not the UK. My dad was this way too. Worked manual labor in the 1970s when he didn't have a degree. Made good money off of it. People in my generation end up homeless slaving away at minimum wage jobs. Our parents generation also didn't have helicopter parents breathing over their shoulders, and neither was there a presence of social media.

  2416. A lot of this is wrong. In the past, Baby Boomers and older generations made really good money with college education. An Associates Degree was a better guarantee of a better job. A Bachelor’s Degree meant you were qualified for a high paying job and a career progression. Millennials were fooled and all told to go to college, regardless if the kids themselves were ready or not. So we basically entered a system that was already broken. Zoomers at least are raising questions, something my generation (Millennials) failed to do. Too many kids are finishing college with little knowledge than what they knew when they entered college. You can make the argument that these 20 - 22 year old kids don’t know any better, because let’s face it at that age they have little life experience. You also failed to provide older adults who can be guides and mentors to these kids. Colleges repeatedly fail to do this, as I have seen myself multiple times. If you told me college prepares kids 20 years ago, I would of believed you. But at this point, they fail. Kids are paying more and getting less in return. That’s the crux of the issue that Matt here is pointing out.

  2435.  @rachelar  American woman “looked at me funny” is the result of entitlement and sheer narcissism. Which shocker, didn’t start with Millennials. Their parents were definitely to blame.

  2436.  @petersmith5915 You had a British Empire spanning from South Africa to India and Hong Kong. Now you are sad caricatures of your former selves. To think your nation gave us The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who and Monty Python, one of the greatest comedies of all time. It’s all gone.

  2442. Sadly it's not just movies, television or even video games. It's all forms of media, including news media which produces nonstop garbage. Our entertainment is being infiltrated by people who are evil in nature and just want to destroy the franchises we love/loved.
    2
  2443. Another problem is how high density areas keep lecturing the rural conservative areas. It's not even a matter of federal politics at this point. It can be someone in his 70s who loves old John Wayne movies, and the progressive is saying his conservative politics are outdated and the man needs to be left behind, since he passed away over 40 years ago. High density areas are run by people who don't care about the tried and true, just try to stick with whatever is thrown at the wall.

  2446.  @dlawlis  I was inspired by you guys growing up, but I would be a fool to say Gen Xers were good parents because they weren't. Gen X was pretty "anti family", something a lot of printed media covered back in the 1990's.

  2447.  @beanzor  Won't happen anytime soon sadly. I guess I was dead wrong to think things would get better under Joe Biden after Donald Trump left. They're just as bad if not worse. This decade (202X) just fucking sucks in all honesty. The music sucks, the television sucks, the Hollywood movies suck, even sports has gotten worse due to stupid rule changes. The best thing this decade has going for it is accessibility, we have the pick-and-choose option at our fingertips. That's why we have YouTube and Netflix, among other things. Steam on the PC, more games to play than I will ever get around to in my lifetime. Things were so much better even going back to 2011. I look at the 1990s and early 2000s, the culture, the music, the fads, the atmosphere. Looks and feels like a fucking paradise compared to what we're dealing with now.

  2450.  @reneerodriguez7368  This is nothing new. They were already taking out World War II history back in the early 2000s. I was there to witness it. The fact of the matter is, America has had a lot of violence and shortcomings in it's relatively short history of a country. These kids know nothing about Abraham Lincoln, or what Martin Luther King Jr did during the Civil Rights Movement. So they end up like so many other young people in their early - mid 20s, ignorant. They are not stupid, but they are ignorant of a lot of things in general. The problem points at the poor education system. Getting training for a lot of jobs costs a lot of money, so that's honestly no different than spending tens of thousands of dollars to attend a four year university. Most people in their 20s and 30s aren't even aware that Japanese Americans were put into camps during World War II because of fear they were associating with the Japanese who were fighting during the war. It was terrible, as was everything regarding the war, but it's something the kids need to know. They don't know anything about segregation laws and how the Civil Rights Movement tried to take them down in the 1960s either. Just like they don't know about the events that led to the Financial Crash of 2008. The old platitude, "Those who don't learn history are bound to repeat it", will ring true in due time.

  2451.  @advert1489  The best era was 2006 - 2013. That was when people could be themselves and not be under a lockdown of rules. I followed several people who swore and used crude jokes, and were monetized. Today you can't curse beyond the more tame swear words without your entire video possibly getting de-monetized. Google is losing it.

  2452. As a guy approaching his late 30s, our parents used to think 2Pac, Kurt Cobain, Biggie Smalls, Mortal Kombat, R rated movies (Pulp Fiction) were bad for children. Which back then (1990s), that stuff was, because none of it was appropriate for children. But I don’t think any of it can compare to what TikTok is doing to children. While everything I listed is entertainment, TikTok is essentially stripping children of a real childhood and telling them to do things that are contrary to growing up and facing reality. Being a Millennial, there is no doubt that many Zoomers were raised in sheltered environments, and I believe many of them, include those I work with, suffer from mental issues. Generation Alpha is not off to a good start. It’s yet another generation that looks to be getting the shaft.

  2453. At least in construction you’re actually working towards something. I’ve done tech jobs where you are basically cattle. Upper management also felt our benefits had to be taken away. Meanwhile the corporate people who were above us lowly grunts and the management were getting bonuses, hefty paycheck and numerous work breaks for doing essentially nothing.

  2454.  @he-man5102  I remember those days well. I watched Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and many others. The NBA isn’t good anymore. Not only because of the player personalities being more like cardboard, but also because they are whiny and narcissistic. The same types of people playing this woke narrative, and causing more drama for anybody else.

  2457.  @Foxstab  I find a lot of Millennials, especially younger Millennials born in the 90s, to be insufferable. There are some good younger folks in their 20s out there. But it’s become increasingly difficult to have an actual conversation and debate with people under the age of 30 - 35ish (give or take) without them trying to silence you. This is the same generation whose women are selling themselves on Onlyfans, while fully buying into the SJW ideology on Twitter and Instagram. The guys have been reduced to utter soy boys. Despite being now aged 30, they act more like they were doing a one on one at high school. A complete 180 from the World War II generation, who had to grow up due to tough times. The Baby Boomers created weak men. Good times create weak men. There. I said it.
    2
  2458.  @Foxstab The music of the era really shows the difference between back then and now. There is absolutely nothing in the mainstream that is actually good in 2023. It’s Gen Z fodder about nihilism and how miserable one is. Whereas the 80’s, with its New Wave and Hair Metal, gave a sense of optimism and hope, to look forward to a new day. No wonder the kids are depressed. Makes me happy to see Gen Z conservatives.

  2465. The real problem in regard to what Louis said at 1:01:51 in this video is the oligarchy the West has sunk into. Linus himself is a symptom of a much bigger problem. Our system has become that which rewards narcissists, criminals and our elites with consolidation of power. Demanding $30,000 for a very brief shout out in a tech unboxing video is not only greed, it is utter malice. And that’s the thing. Corporations hold so much sway over normal society that people themselves are starting to become ads themselves. I’m utterly convinced that all the low quality ad garbage with some Millennial/Gen Z person with a smartphone has been paid off. It was not like this back in 2010 - 2013. Ads back then were more reasonable, so most people saw no serious need for a blocker. Linus, like many with his subscriber count and higher, sold his soul to gain power and profit. He is part of a big scam along with the other big YouTubers whose faces were shown on that thumbnail at 4:00 in the video. The giant corporations have captured them. That’s the big difference between Louis here and those who are multi millionaires here on YT that got bought off.

  2466.  @timothykearns2232  My guess is you're a Baby Boomer who raised a Millennial back in the 1980s and 1990s. The Little Mermaid was a Disney animated film that people now credit as helping the cartoon renaissance of the 1990s, early 2000s. I'm 35, soon to be 36 years old. Definitely much younger than you are, but I have felt the decline for quite some time now and it is just disgusting what Disney puts in their movies now. Forced diversity is practically a thing now, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. Unfortunately it's not only the "Boy Scouts of America", it's also the United States Military. The Go Army advertisement last year told me everything I needed to know about forced diversity.

  2467.  @gwenj5419  It’s the same with some of my family. We used to be disagreeing with politics, but it was a agree to disagree approach. Now we can’t discuss COVID-19, LGBTQ, indiscrimination, academics, job careers, etc etc without getting into a big argument. Times have changed, and not necessarily for the better.

  2468. Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five were the real OGs of Rap. Colorful, fun, whimsical style rap music, but also with a dose of reality, as ‘The Message’ brought out. Rap today is soulless, has no feeling and no character.

  2476.  @ysfex3sew  I’m aware of this. Because I used to be like these kids over 15 years ago when I was a young college guy living in a dormitory. These kids are still trying to find their place in life. Those in high school learn what they want to do and they set for those goals. The problem is current generation politics is brainwashing a lot of kids into siding with either the Far Left and Far Right. Why? Because these are impressionable kids. They’re going to go to whatever the latest trends are. What the hit songs are. What’s the hottest thing is right now. There’s a reason why smoking and alcohol is banned for anyone under the age of 21. Why rental car companies won’t issue out their vehicles to those under the mid 20s.

  2479. Twilight Zone is still highly entertaining.
    2
  2480. And it's especially harrowing when you see that these are 30 something year old Millennials who are more closely related to actual children than actual adults. It started when our institutions started giving out participation medals to kids around 25 - 30 years ago or so. Now every other woman in the Millennial generation is a Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner type of individual whereas the men have been reduced to beta males who express more girly traits than masculine traits. Say what you will on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hulk Hogan, but they were real masculine men. Never mind that Hulk Hogan was racist. Nowadays, the kids have no role models like them, and it shows.

  2491.  Bender Bending Rodriguez  The problem is both. Until they compromise and come to terms while setting aside their differences, NOTHING will change. Google is one of the most powerful companies in existence. It stopped caring about the average person a long time ago. I should know, Google is based in the Silicon Valley area of California. That state is a fucking cesspit of liberal bullshit. Both San Francisco and Los Angeles have been greatly affected by the political polarization, much of it having to do with the Far Left. The Far Left is all concentrated in the cities and towns in California, having control over Silicon Valley and Hollywood. The Far Right on the other hand is all scattered out in the countryside. Some of them may have good intentions, but they are stuck to the past, their ideologies tend to fall more into 'how things should be'. They lack few if any new ideas. They both suck. Staying in the Middle politically is the only sane position anymore. We cannot cater to either side. The further you go and more extreme you get, the more you start to lose your sense of sanity and the more you come off as a authoritarian fucked up prick.

  2501.  @gokux75  All comic book places I know have dropped Marvel. The youth isn't interested in that crap. They want anime/manga, which is far more based and has actual character depth and progression.

  2502.  @gokux75  Look at Marvel films in the early 2000's (X-Men, Spider-Man). Then look at the stuff made after MCU became a thing. MCU ruined them.
    2
  2503. Very well said. I miss going to Blockbuster with friends to rent movies like The Sixth Sense and The Blair Witch Project. There was a sense of bonding and interaction between customers and those who worked at video rental stores. Now it’s streaming platforms that are largely bloat.

  2504. James Stewart started his career as a struggling actor, he even said so himself. He was a bomber pilot in WW2. Even late in his life, after his successes in Alfred Hitchcock films, he remained humble, grateful and charming. Compare him to many 30 - 50 year old performers today who often spout nonsense on social media, blame others for their own failures, and cry victimhood because their production got canceled or failed financially.

  2509. I agree with everything you said. Young people NEED a future. AI taking over isn’t going to make things better. People need interpersonal communication, communities, families, friends, children, purpose, integrity. Modern corporate culture doesn’t care about any of this. They want you to be a slave.

  2512.  @thetakongpancake1003  Well it’s a combination of many things. Dumbing down education, workers unable to do essential math skills, groceries rising in price due to greed, the list goes on. You guys also had proper mentors. My dad worked in the restaurant business in the 70’s. While not a cook, he was a busboy and a cleaner. His bosses taught him how to clean effectively, and be proper to customers if the need arose. Today I see aisles in grocery stores regularly unkept. Shelves are poorly shelved and stocked and this is being done on purpose. Gen Z is working overtime and they lack essential skills and knowledge to adapt to the real world, let alone have the money and know how to raise a family with strong kids. Civilization is doomed.

  2517. I'm not worried about this in the least. I'm much more concerned on people's confidence to sustain a longer livelihood. If anything we're much more likely to see Trump initiate a full meltdown while Putin will try to gain more power by taking over the territories that were lost after the Cold War. The though of seeing an asteroid destroy our planet and making the 1908 Siberian crater look like child's play is complete hodge wash. Then again there are people stupid enough to feed into the fearmongering media outlets have been pushing for over a decade or so, the same as religious fanatics believing the world will end in much the same fashion. There's too much to distract our attention, we only live once so make the best use of it. Just watch this video and hope none of it happens for a long time.

Unknown to most but those of us who remember the old DOS games from back in the day may remember Dune II, which was the predecessor real time strategy game to what would be Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, both of which were developed by Westwood Studios. The Atredies unique unit was a Sonic Tank which emitted ultrasound and subsonic sound against enemies. Both games were very similar, and were good for their time.

  2528. As a 40+ year old yourself you have certainly gained wisdom and maturity. I was brought up in the same period. When I was a 19 year old I bought into all the lies and misinformation the media was throwing at us, when Bush Jr was still president. Today the mask is off. And I can’t help but feel true sorrow for the American veterans who are not only mistreated by our administration, but are having to pay dearly after their military service is up. And just like what happened to the US military, our police have much lowered standards so that more unqualified women and men can enforce the law. It’s absolutely sickening.

  2531.  @luizperez3357  The problem is 18 - 24 year old women have been brainwashed by social media. Back in the 1990s you could go on a date with a woman and it was usually a more pleasant experience. In highschool and college, the girls weren’t on the internet, many still used telephones to call up their friends and you would hang out at a bowling alley or skating rink.
    1
  2532. Yep, and they’re purposely giving young people the wrong medication and drug prescriptions because our medical industry, at least here in the United States, is now run for profit. Shouldn’t be no surprise to many why school shootings have ramped up, and why more young people are committing suicide.

  2535.  @EMKABMART  Whatever Boomers had to struggle with, their parents struggled even more. Read up about the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression and WW2 before you start running your mouth. Unlike you, I want Gen Z to succeed. But as long as people like you continue to put their foot down on young people, nothing gets accomplished.
    1
  2536.  @EMKABMART  From what? Hollywood? Are you assuming that people here think life resembled that of movie stars Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant and Judy Garland? My grandparents both came up poor in that era. They didn’t have radios for entertainment. They both grew up in simple homes, and raised my parents through hard work. Life in the 1950’s and 1960’s, even without indoor plumbing for a number of houses, was still much easier than it was during the Great Depression.

  2554.  @thesilentsiren  Actually it was the Millennials who came up with the toxic cancel culture. The Zoomers basically made it the norm. Pop music sucks now. It's basically a rehash of what came out 10 - 15 years ago. Movies nowadays are basically superhero blockbusters that all have the same plots and themes. Not too much different from the 90s blockbusters and the superhero flicks of the early - mid 2000s.

  2557.  @randomplaceinruralamerica9618  It's been well known and documented that Judy Garland was mistreated over her film career. Hollywood performers were subject to working six, seven days a week, while keeping up with looks and trying to keep the studio heads content. Countless people have seen the Wizard of Oz (1939), but I don't know how many know of the mistreatment and suffering many of those actors went through. It just goes to show that Hollywood always had an agenda, it always mistreated their stars. I've watched everything from the early Charlie Chaplin shorts to some of the Marvel superhero movies that came out in the past two years.

  2559. The food has gotten worse. I remember in the 90's, even before Jared Fogle, I would eat at Subway. The ingredients were fresh and the subs tasted good. In 2023 I decided against my better judgment to eat at Subway. It was disgusting. I barely ate half my sub before I threw it in the trash. The ingredients have gotten cheaper in quality. Many people on the internet have pointed this out.

  2562.  @larkies916  The early Boomers got lucky. They embraced the 1960's 'Love' while they listened to Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, then turned into Hippies when John Lennon and company grew their hair long. Then they turned around and voted for Reagan decades later, and younger generations are blamed for crap that already started before their time. I'm just waiting for the Boomers to die off. It sounds harsh and cruel, but the kids have already suffered enough. Things need to change for the better if American and the rest of western society wants to sustain itself for more than 5 - 15 years.

  2563.  @MugenTJ  Utopia to me doesn’t sound realistic. The Far Left is working towards a utopia, but their vision does not align with the common folk who just want happy, average lives. Therefore I cannot support the Far Left. This is probably why so much nowadays feels bland and sterile. Freedom of expression and creativity have been shot down. America and western civilization used to be more individualistic. Now it is compartmentalized and segregated. This is the system of the commies. You can be individualistic and still be a family man with wife and children. That is what older generations did. Many did not join up in cults and adopt radical politics like a number of us do now. We lack foresight, but will blindly join up with political leaders. Not just those in government, but also social media influencers who convince their audience to think a certain way, and discourage the other. We are not free like previous generations were, and we lack wisdom to come up with solutions.

Apple eliminated the supply chain so now you’re forced to use their garbage services which means they can overcharge you for trash that could be spent on something else. The iPhone 15 is bloated, has way too much clutter on it, and is sold purely because it looks sleek. Modern tech is a looming disaster.

  2601.  @TheCurtisnixon  Apple has been a garbage company for a long time. The iPod was a thing back in the day, but once that was over those of us who were observant realized that Apple was selling simply for the brand, not about how good their products were. Sadly as time goes on it’s becoming more difficult to find quality parts and components. I have early flat screen computer monitors from the early - mid 2000’s. They were built with better materials. Garbage today from companies like Samsung is lucky to last a few months without having either technical issues or design problems.

  2617.  @mouseutopiadystopia24601  Nobody wants to go back to early 1900s America, or 1920's Prohibition when Al Capone and his ilk were waging terror on society. Nobody wants the 1930s Great Depression either. There is a strong nostalgia for the 1950s - 1960s, and the 1970s - 1990s respectively. And after you do some research, it's easy to see why. People, especially men had far more social capital during these times. Personally, the World War 2 generation aka the Greatest Generation have been the strongest generation of the past century. If we're going to list generations, they come out on top. No generation before or since was able to turn the tide of a country so quickly. In their time America went from people lining up for soup to building a strong foundation for American Democracy. There was the threat of the Red Scale, particularly when Senator Joseph McCarthy was advocating for the removal of Communism. That event however only lasted for five years or so, as Americans largely got over it after McCarthy's demise. Many 80 - 85 year old men I've talked to agree that the 1950s - 1960s was a much better time for men. They're absolutely disgusted with where the world is today. There is no question that The Cold War would of been handled completely different if Zoomer and Millennial men were in charge of foreign affairs. We all become products of our environment and our society. Real greatness comes from overcoming the woes of society and pushing yourself to be a better person. Unfortunately, much like this kid talking about feminism in the video, many men have completely given up. They're told they are worthless and useless, and that they must bow down to leftist feminists, especially women as they like to throw this garbage at them. Children are the future, and without having actual men standing up to make lasting change, society collapses.

  2618.  @mouseutopiadystopia24601  I'm not going to dissect your response regarding the 1930s - 1950s being a mess of management because I said to you already, the Great Depression was a horrible time. That generation got its name coined for their part in World War II. Much of the country prior to World War II was run by the generation predating the WW2 generation. They were incompetent, as Herbert Hoover himself proved. By the time the Vietnam War came around in the 1960s, the Silent Generation was already inferior. Funny enough it was the film Full Metal Jacket that had me learn that the battles in Vietnam served almost no purpose. Protests were waged. Racial riots were done on the streets in cities like Detroit. A sexual revolution took place that changed the way men and women saw each other. America saw more women enter the workforce. Previously, it was them being the housewife taking care of the children and the home while the man brought home the bacon. "Nuclear family" is often referred to average American families living in poor to middle class homes during the 1950s - 1960s. The threat of nuclear violence was strong as a result of the Cold War. I'm skipping a lot of history here, but I don't see the need to point out the subsequent decades, only that the American structure has systematically been dismantled. The kid in this video that we see is the result of modern society. Feminism and women go hand in hand, because without the women the feminist movement would of died a long time ago. Technology is another factor. Social media is the apparent one, but I would argue that video games and computers have also done their share of damage. Television is another big one. Steve Jobs of Apple had big dreams and visions, but what I see is he released an iPhone product that just amplifies all the problems social media already has.

  2619.  @mouseutopiadystopia24601  We call it going "off the grid". That means giving up on most all electronics and handheld devices that connect to the internet. Many of my peers are already doing this, because we're fed up with these feminist women trying to control every aspect of our lives. Fortunately I have an inner circle of close friends and family. It's small, and unfortunately we had to cut out some people because of a falling out from political/social arguments. But we care for each other, and in these trying times, being together matters most to us.

I mostly saw young 20 and 30 something year olds giving each other Fent, and I saw all the symptoms of that drug. They were helpless, their skin was rotting and there was a stench that can be described as disgusting. 20 years ago in 2003, the most I saw there were alcoholics and maybe the occasional heroin user, and meth user. Still awful and terrible, but nothing as demoralizing as Fent. I don't know when Riverview was shut down, but I just know that back in the 90s - 2000s, I saw far less of these people out in the streets. Now you venture down Chinatown and it is a literal dystopia in BC Canada.

Experimental rap from the likes of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Even controversial mainstream acts like 2Pac and Biggie Smalls expressed real emotion, raw lyrics, and creative rhymes out of clever samples they used for the songs. Then Hip Hop became mainstream after their deaths. It became more gimmicky, and what was once cool and hip became a shell of its former self. Guys like Kayne West and Lil Wayne are more rich than 2Pac, A Tribe Called Quest and Public Enemy ever were. The corporate suits moved in and killed the genre that was Rap/Hip Hop.

  2660.  @saph100  We practically are in the Matrix now. We've just not reached the part where everybody is in virtual reality simulators because the real world is beyond saving. Personally, that's why I've gotten more into shows like Boardwalk Empire. The 1920s was a cruel time for the average citizen, because of the dangers and manipulation at least here in the United States. But there was actual culture, actual communities. Major cities and small towns both had local shops that put the local populace first because they were serving them. Nowadays you got faceless corporations putting their ugly box structures smack dab into small towns and even bigger towns. There's a general lack of identity because everybody is fixated on their smartphone, not having a computer with you means you're behind the pack. It's no wonder senior citizens aged 70 - 85 years old or so are having so much depression at this point. It's no better for the young people either, because they never had an actual community that valued interpersonal communication. The western world will more than likely collapse because with where things are going, something has to give.

Unfortunately for Millennials, most of them couldn't afford to have children in their 20's like the Baby Boomers did. Housing especially here on the west coast in the USA is becoming unaffordable.

  2683.  @Stick0413  Other Democrat run cities implement this same tactic. I knew small business owners in California who were bullied by multiple agencies, and were then threatened by either summons or people giving the go ahead to close store. Meanwhile giant corporations like Walmart continue to pop up and essentially put mom & pop stores out of business. It’s all a racket and Louis here wasn’t willing to play along. Thankfully he moved to Texas.

  2688.  @benallen2942  I don't have a problem with Dems as much as I have a problem with sheer corruption in these cities. I have been to all of the blue controlled cities on the West Coast. Every single one of them, from Vancouver, British Columbia down to San Diego, California all suffer from the same policies and symptoms. This includes brutalist architecture. Gentrification affecting certain neighborhoods. Small businesses being displaced by large businesses (Starbucks, Walmart). Heavy handed red tape which makes owning a small business a literal nightmare. The list goes on.

  2694.  @funnelvortex7722  I've seen some of your videos and you sound like a guy who is fairly educated and well versed in how the internet worked. There was something to be said back in the years 1998 - 2003 when you spent hours on Netscape or Internet Explorer just searching for random shit and you got a lot of distinct looking websites. That was the 'digital wonderland'. No YouTube, no Facebook, not even MySpace. The most mainstream thing the internet had going for it back then was Napster, and we all know what happened to Napster. Everything is about data collecting and being monitored. George Orwell's 1984 novel is more relevant now than ever before. As somebody who started using the internet back in 1995 - 1996 when only computer geeks and nerds used it, it's truly depressing to see what has happened in the last decade or so. Now, we got a new generation of kids who are being sucked right into the trap that is the modern internet, because they are naive and don't know any better.

  2695. In Portland Oregon crime is rampant, and police seem to do next to nothing. They no longer respond to mentally ill people exposing themselves. Homeless camps are everywhere and there is a general unhappiness with the regular people in the city. Local businesses have mostly closed shop, leaving the political activists and mentally ill people to just do what they please.

  2704.  @Musicienne-DAB1995 Motown was the 1960s and early 1970s. That was half a century ago. African Americans have increasingly become dumber and more passive aggressive. Thomas Sowell explains this phenomenon in detail.

  2705.  @Musicienne-DAB1995  Thomas Sowell is a good example of one who is smart. At 93 years old he is still sharp, but his sense of humor is starting to slip. You never hear about many of the good African Americans because they never get news coverage.

  2706. I miss those days too. Me and my friends used to hook up with each other on MySpace. We'd all play Runescape and World of Warcraft, so there was this real sense of internet community. Same thing with sports. Used to follow the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots and Los Angeles Lakers, met a lot of great people in those old MySpace and Facebook groups. Now it's the case of us being entirely separated. Too many drama queens, too many asshole sport fans.

  2707. Somebody is a Yakuza fan. Anyway, I agree with your opinion. MA used to be a great state, full of conservative minded people. Boston is now a blue city that takes resources and bleeds the people dry.

  2708. Everything you said here was applied to us Millennials first. We sided more towards leftism during the 2008 Crash, and social media convinced us that much of what others said was truth. We had some gender expressions, but not to the extent that your generation has displayed.

  2709. A lot of degrees are useless. In the past, older generations went to college to become doctors, psychologists, engineers, lawyers and judges. College was aimed at those who knew what college was about. The rest of the population were content with factory work and manufacturing. That’s what my 72 year old dad did back in the 1970’s. He was a hard worker with minimal college, but he was promoted to manage younger employees and he made great wages. When he was 25 years old in 1976 he married, bought a home, and was entirely self sufficient. The training at work helped hone his skills in that department. Now, we don’t get any of that anymore. Millennials have had to wait until their mid 30s for any good home, and Gen Z is forced to live in boxes because prices are utterly insane.

  2711.  @daviddesrosiers1946 Yes. 1950’s and 1960’s Democrats still placed values on family, health, children, and building a good future. JFK and those who supported him were such examples. The Clintons are the modern day Democrats. The damage they caused for over 30 years now is unfathomable.

  2712. These writers probably looked up to Hilary Clinton.

  2713.  @andrewmccann9710  Reminds me of the movie Coach Carter which starred Samuel L Jackson. Based on a true story where a basketball coach tried to teach these highschool kids who lived in the ghetto, only to learn that they were practically all failing in their classes. He was concerned for their future academics, so he forced them to actually study before they could pursue basketball practice. The problem definitely starts at home, and this isn't an issue that just popped up in recent times. It's been going on for decades. I went to school in the SoCal (Southern California) area back in the early 1990s. It was a time when the violent crime rate was skyrocketing in the United States. Cities like Compton were not only dangerous, their schools were abysmal because none of the kids back then wanted to actually learn anything. A big part of that problem was the culture in which they were raised and brought up. It was the gangster life style, if you ever saw Menace II Society and Boyz in the Hood which starred Cuba Gooding Jr, then you know the problems were rooted in the society these characters grew up in. Back to Lebron James, his attempts to create an actual school I give him credit for. But let's not forget that he is an exceptional athlete who went straight to the NBA out of highschool. He has no understanding of higher academics and I doubt he knows anything beyond highschool reading and math. There were plenty of kids who grew up in bad homes who would move on to be productive middle aged adults. But it is a constant struggle and I tip my hat to all the teachers and mentors who invested hundreds and thousands of hours of their lives helping these kids become productive members of society. It's not easy, it never was and it never will be.

Who not only don’t care for American tradition, values and traditions, but they are violent and can’t be reasoned with. That is jabbing a knife down the throat as my own family were legal immigrants who had to go through a ton of steps to get admitted into the USA. But the government is graciously allowing these illegals to enter, and giving them handouts. I was a David Wright fan, but I’m enough of a baseball fan to know who Tom Seaver and Bud Harrelson were, who just passed away. I can list players and pitchers of the 90’s NY Mets off the top of my head.

Due to Gavin's meddling as mayor of SF, he decided to retire from the police force because he was fed up of dealing with garbage. Now homeless roam the city. People can't afford homes, and cops no longer respond to crimes like shoplifting, misdemeanors or trying to keep the peace. If you value California and it's future, you have two options. You either fight and start going against the Democrats running things, or you can move out of the state. For most people, the latter option is much more viable.

  2745. Boston has a rich history. It played a big role in the Revolutionary War in the 1700s and was the site of the Boston Tea Party. It was a city where loyalists, Americans who joined/defected to the British were beaten and dragged out of their homes by the Patriots. Those who were Patriots were people wishing to remain independent from monarchy rule. The Colonial era and early cities like Boston played an important role in not only laying down the pathways for Democracy, but also making America what it is. Wu has no understanding of American history and culture. I suppose Boston and MA are about as far left as California is. Actively hating white people which has forced many whites to leave California because they no longer feel welcome.

Today the entire state is diversity hires, illegal immigrants from Latin America willing to slave 12 - 14 hours a day in the fields, and a small group of super rich stuck in their ivory towers. Whites are leaving California in droves. Unfortunately they are taking their messed up policies and have also ruined Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.

The 1960s was also when race riots became a regular occurrence, and the ‘nuclear family’ was already turned down by radical leftists, including Hippies who were trying to silence speech that wasn’t their own.

The incarceration rate among black men soared during the Bill Clinton administration in the 1990’s. Many of these young men had no father figure in the home, just one mother. In turn, they ended up joining violent gangs and doing life of crime in order to get a bonding experience, because no man was at the home teaching them good values.

  2815. The 80's had AIDS. The 90's had the Rodney King beating and riots that followed, along with a list of other tragedies. There is so such thing as an ideal time. It was just that back then, in your heyday, you didn't have fearful news constantly being beaten into people like it is now, thanks to 24/7 news media and internet social media. You could live a life ignorant of most of the bad events due to lack of technology. Now in order to do that, you will have to live "off the grid" and become a homesteader.

  2828.  @NerdyPanda-td1tz  Good luck with that. And to be frank with you, you were barely in preschool/kindergarten when the 90's ended, so technically your childhood encompassed the 2000's. I'm 36, and was a teenager when the 90's ended so I have a much more vivid time of that era. Not trying to put you down but unless you have exceptional memory, much of what happened in the 90's and early 2000's is probably vague to you, because you were only elementary school age. Also, your peers at 27 were constantly on Facebook and Instagram. I know, because I know some people in your immediate age group who were obsessed with social media. Part of your generation was on social media 24/7. I will agree with not allowing your kids to get on social media. Just like I'm not allowing my little daughter to go on Disney Plus or some other cancerous service. Too much stuff out there that is harmful, that will affect little kids mentally.

  2836. This started over 50 years ago. As far as I’m concerned, Baby Boomers ruined America. Look at some of the Boomers still around running things. They’re so entitled and arrogant that they can’t see how they’re ruining things. If you wondered why Millennials came off as so entitled and arrogant, the Boomers raised them. The real heroes are the Greatest Generation, or as they’re commonly known, the World War 2 generation. Sadly, they are long gone, and the very extreme few remaining are either in old folks homes, disabled, or too old to care. The only real way to achieve a Leave it to Beaver lifestyle complete with white picket fence is to leave America and live overseas. It’s absolutely baffling to me that countries like South Korea and Vietnam express a gratitude and appreciation from the common man that has NOT been felt in America since the 1950’s - 1960’s. Sadly, portions of Gen Z will not survive the collapse. They can barely handle themselves, and spending their waking hours on social media talking about nihilism likely means an early grave for them.

Some items didn't have a price tag. And like this woman in the video, the cashier told me a price different from the price listed on the shelf. I returned the items I obtained back on the shelves and walked out. Never gone back.

Then they tell you to work overtime despite having a kid to care for. Management is angry at you for not working fast enough. They keep you stuck at the bottom rung because they don’t have to pay you as much and you didn’t go thru their education program, so there’s no hope of promotions. Finally they let you go because you called in sick from working long hours. They hire another person, and the process repeats itself.

  2873.  @Laotzu.Goldbug  So you’re basically stretching this back to the Silent Era when Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton reigned supreme. To not written a single word on a piece of paper, that predates William Shakespeare.

  2874.  @Laotzu.Goldbug  Look at the first Matrix film. Absolute masterpiece that was groundbreaking back in 1999. Great usage of CGI and special effects. You don’t exactly need writing and acting that is the equivalent of Orson Welles film Citizen Kane, or The Godfather. And there were tons of bad plays with awful writing in the William Shakespeare era. Most of them are all forgotten because only the classics like Romeo & Juliet have surpassed the rest of time. As is true for many classics regardless of genre. Right now, the creative talent lies with the independent filmmakers and the films that aren’t made and produced in Hollywood.
    1
  2875.  @Laotzu.Goldbug  I'm going to have to disagree here. I wouldn't call The Matrix entirely original, not at all. There is a famous anime called Akira, which came out in Japan in 1988, but didn't get released in the West until years later. You watch that anime film, then watch The Matrix, you can see the guys who made it were clearly inspired by Akira and other spectacle anime of the 1980s. All of the Matrix sequels set the bar lower, but I still praise the original for what it was. I recommend you watch Alien from 1979, which not only had fantastic graphical fidelity in terms of cinematics, but also very strong acting from the cast. Holds up incredibly well, and is totally watchable today, even for your teenage kids. If you're going to admit that you prefer films before the 1970s - 1990s, that's your choice. We can both agree that Hollywood has been utterly saturated over the past 20 years or so, to the point where I've given up on it entirely and rely on foreign films coming out of Scandinavia and Japan, among other places. Again, this is preference. But you are simply discrediting the original Matrix more than it deserves.

  2880. Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s then all time home run record in 1974. However, he continued to play until his retirement in 1976, finishing with 755 career home runs. Hammering Hank was noble. He was class, he never seriously talked down to his teammates, he played with grace, and he treated interviews with dignity. Barry Bonds, in contrast, was an arrogant, hulking player his entire life, even in his college days when he was causing drama. Jim Leyland, a manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and later the Detroit Tigers, had great difficulty dealing with him. Later in Bonds career he had his own personal trainer and refused to train with the other players. He had an entire section of the locker room just to himself. He got into verbal matches, particularly with second baseman Jeff Kent. Bonds refused to do most interviews and he talked down to many cameramen. Thomas Sowell’s views on sports reflect what had been going on a number of decades. Hank Aaron never boasted when he touched home plate after a run. Barry Bonds made a taunt every time he touched home plate later in his career.

However, they constantly told Millennials to respect authority while at the same time mollycoddling them by telling them what they can and can’t do. Even when the Millennials became young adults. This has resulted in an entire generation of beta males who can’t think for themselves and have to have older people or authority to make decisions for them. A societal collapse is pretty much on the horizon. The system we have now isn’t working, and we are seeing the consequences of that in the media and elsewhere.

Anybody who remotely knows circuitry and basic level electronics knows that putting a 40 - 50 volt line next to a data line is wrong. You can read a book on what electricians do for a living and you would easily figure out that these designs are made to fail. This results in the end consumer paying out more money towards the corporation who approved this garbage. That’s why third party repair is suffering because Apple doesn’t want these small businesses actually giving their customers a good price when it comes to repair.

Read up on what Bernie Madoff did around 9/11. The last age of wonder was the 1990s. Ever since September 11th, 2001 occurred, America and much of the western world has been gravitating more towards a dystopian society, run by fear and power by the corporations. America has been in decline for the past 20 years at least. The late 2000s, early 2010s were only better than post 2015 - 2021, the era we're living in now. With COVID-19 instilling fear into people and a catastrophe on the horizon regarding the news in Afghanistan, I would love to go back to 1998 - 2001, the last truly carefree era before everything started going to shit.

That would make you around 14 - 16 years old at the time. To be truthful here, holding two - three jobs is basically true for many Millennials and the older Gen Zers who can work. I've been down that road, and because of bill issues I had to move back in with a part of my family because I couldn't afford to pay on my own. If you want the real culprits to target, don't target people like Brian. Target the Baby Boomers and the financial people in a seat of power. Namely the Koch Brothers.

While I normally bash on any TikTok user who makes dumb statements, I can sort of understand her because frankly, the real world is awful. It always has been. There is no such thing as the “good old days”, as Boomers like to put it. But there is such a thing as understanding and purpose and trying feeling fulfillment from the work you do. I just did a quick checkup on this girl and she has an interest in insects. Likes to showcase them while wearing pointy ears. There is very little purpose and understanding, which are two main reasons how we got here as a western society. I just hope for this girl and her entire generation to reach fulfillment later in life, because right now things are looking bleak to them.

You also need at least a Master’s Degree to obtain the middle class livelihood, or else you will be living poor. Bachelor’s Degree is a dime a dozen meaning job recruiters have stepped up the requirements to get anything decent. In 1960 American life drew its homes and furniture from the manufacturing industry. Stuff didn’t come from China, it came from America, which was better quality. Kitchen appliances, homes, furniture, you name it. In 1960 it was entirely possible to support a family with a high school education working a factory job. People with college degrees went to become lawyers and engineers, who made enough money to be rich. It was the American Dream, and it no longer exists.

  3009.  @ewrgaming The “last plane out of Vietnam” was around 50 years ago. The practices put into place in the 1980’s and 1990’s led to this mess we have today. Baby Boomers don’t actually recognize the era of 1960 as you put it, it was their parents who served in WW2 and watched Elvis Presley on Ed Sullivan who were the working force back then. Those that are left are in nursing homes, too old to do anything of note as they are living their final days. The Boomers involved in the elections are clueless and they will remain that way. I trust a 40 year old politician over someone who is approaching 80 years old. These old men and women are clueless and they couldn’t care less.

But you fail to understand that many in your generation (which is mine) can’t afford to do these things. You’re 42, you’re not old. You got incredibly lucky. Many of us desire to have homes with spouse and children. At this point I will likely have to adopt a child, but that is the reality.

  3014.  @erich1380  Just as the arrogant men wheeling and dealing at Wall Street during Prohibition led to the Great Depression of the 1930s. The action of those at the top will affect those below them. It is a trickle effect. While it took over 20 years to finally build up to the Financial Crisis of 2008, it was the actions of the government and big business years earlier that led to that event. Baby Boomers grew up watching Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver and other innocent shows while they worked beneficial start up jobs in school. Many of them are still stuck in that 1960s - 1980s philosophy, without fully aware that our world is completely different. It is the order of things, which is why Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z have all become more infuriated while the Silent Gen and Boomer overlords continue to ruin everything. It’s not a coincidence, this was decades of bad decisions and we are feeling the effects of them. Things need to get better, but like with the 1930’s, it takes real tragedy and sacrifice to rise from the ashes and build a strong society.

Dream On by Aerosmith is over 50 years old and people still listen to that song. But another point to make is the underground stuff of that era far exceeds the stuff made in the underground today. The mainstream stuff has to have things under it that are worthwhile. The lack of good music is the reason why the mainstream is all garbage.

They not only supplied cars to the country, they were also responsible for states like California that had an excessive amount of cars. Detroit paved the way for a new aspect of life, the way of the car, which the Baby Boomers inherited and drove into the ground, much to the dismay of their WW2 generation parents. Now Detroit has been a hellscape for the past 40 years or so. Japanese car manufacturers have long outperformed American made cars from Detroit. European cars are beginning to show signs of decline, but that can’t even be compared to the decades of trash cars Detroit has produced. It lost its way a long time ago. This also has a profound impact on cities like Los Angeles, which relies almost entirely on the car to get anywhere. Public transportation is pathetic in LA. Gas prices are insane in SoCal, anyone who has been there lately can relate. The cities are awful now. And I don’t see other places like Mexico City or Toronto to be faring any better.

  3101.  @bladeduffer  We also used to get lots of good, qualified tradesmen. We have at least two generations who not only were discouraged from going into the trades, they were convinced that college was the only path to success. Now your college education is no better than a highschool diploma. Jobs won’t recruit you because in all that time you’ve spent in school you should have had the necessary training, which is easier said than done. These days I see people who are older working fast food, which ties in perfectly with California’s upcoming minimum wage increase. They want you to be stupid and lack critical thinking.

  3106. What you fail to realize is these Millennials are literally the same age as you and grew up on the same things. Also, you had limited internet in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Even when I got DSL for Windows 2000, it was limited because of the slow speeds and the fact that there was no centralized platform on the internet. We have to kill the modern internet because it is exactly where this perverted wokeness comes from. That will never happen for multiple reasons: 1) The corporations make too much money on the internet. 2) A good majority of jobs require constant internet access to exist. 3) Kids rely on the internet for their learning 4) The western economy absolutely needs the internet. Honestly your best chances is to leave the States or wherever western nation you’re in and move to somewhere like the Philippines or some third world country that values family. Sadly we are too far gone to bring back the glory times of the 80’s, 90’s and early - mid 2000’s.

  3114.  @SuperAWaC  As history books state, big tech happened in the 1980’s. Outside of LA and SF, most places in California were Republican/Conservative, including Orange County. Things got so bad that it was decided that leftists try to rename John Wayne Airport into something else, based on a half century old interview the actor did on a magazine. So what’s this have to do with politics? Because John Wayne was a staunch Conservative, and they really aren’t welcome in California anymore. It’s a one party state and everything beautiful it might have left is being destroyed by the Democrats.

Their 'Greatest' generation children (born 1901 to 1927) took many of their values and ideals from them. Nobody in Tolkien's generation would regard the social changes in the UK today as a good thing. They represented a part of the old British Empire, which is completely non-existant at this point.

The progressives in NYC are all part of the system. Corrupt, evil, and paid to lie.

  3157. Pretty much explains why companies like Ubisoft are going down the tubes. I’ve been playing video games for over 30 years. I watched E3 2021 last year. The Ubisoft showing had a statement regarding diversity hires. These young people were paid to promote diversity. It’s why I’ve given up the tech field entirely, and the business of making video games has suffered big time over the past decade or so.

  3158.  @CasshernSinz1613  A lot of the talent left Ubisoft. Some of them have gone on to be indie developers. Ubisoft is a multi billion dollar corporation that is across multiple countries. Based on what I heard, there is large amounts of miscommunication coming from the top down to the managers and the tech workers. It's why I mostly play indie stuff and retro games these days because the AAA companies just nickel and dime us gamers constantly. It just isn't worth it anymore.

  3159. I remember looking around San Fran back in 2007. The average house in city limits was around $750,000. Far too much for the average family to afford.

Look up old photographs of American people from the 1970's or so, particularly at beaches. You will notice that very few people were fat. Today I see half of Gen Z is either overweight, obese, or just flat miserable. They didn't turn out this way in a vacuum. Corporate greed has resulted in an entire generation feeling miserable and looking awful.

  3168.  @BonusHole  You’re speaking of 75 years of American and British incompetence. I wouldn’t consider going back that far. The decline definitely started in the 1960s. Both the Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers were fighting a war they saw no purpose in having. Even movies like Full Metal Jacket (1987) question the purpose of the Vietnam War, right down to the dialogue in the script. The 1980s started ‘Reaganomics’, a method Ronald Reagan used to help give the ruling elites benefits. It’s been a steady, depressing decline ever since. Compared to the 1940s, who had soldiers that had to endure The Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, you have two or three generations who are not only afraid to question anything, they are completely demoralized and without purpose. Good times really bring weak men to the table. We are paying for that now.

  3169. The war started in 1946. Americans were kept quiet about it until a certain senator named McCarthy brought out ‘McCarthyism’ and the Hollywood blacklist became known. Then there’s of course the 1960s/early 1970s. Then you had Gen X still being told to conduct nuclear drills at school, while the Soviets were beginning to crumble. The union collapses in 1991 and America becomes the lone superpower.

  3199. Reminds me of Michael Jackson. The most celebrated pop star of all time wasn’t without a series of mental issues. GTA V did a good job satirizing the seedy side of Los Angeles (Los Santos). Full of scammers, con men, professionals who just care about money, and a terrible school system. The implosion of Hollywood right now is the pot finally bursting. Michael never really improves, in fact he just gets more angry. In GTA V his visits to the therapist just lead to more questions. Michael is lost, Trevor is completely unhinged, and Franklin is the supposed normal guy out of the three. He is more mature than either Michael or Trevor. Ironically, this makes Franklin rather boring, as he starts as a gangbanger, but ultimately gets a cushy mansion in the Hollywood Hills section know of Los Santos. There’s a lot more Karens like Michael’s wife and daughter, and more useless beta males like Michael’s son, than there were when GTA V came out back in 2013.

Gen Xers were latchkey kids and Boomers looked at them as the nothing generation. Unlike Millennials, Gen Xers went out and did their own thing as young as 18 - 20 years old. Millennials were stuck with their parents until their late 20s, early 30s.

  3251.  @carcasscruncher9354  When my grandparents were young in the 1940’s and 1950’s, American schools used to teach them etiquette. It’s a term that was used to abide to certain standards, manners and values. My dad learned phonics in school during the 1960’s and 1970’s. I knew our system was doomed when schools began taking away AP History, as well as AP Chemistry and others for the brighter students. Today highschools teach very little that will propel kids towards a good future. Instead they are told there are more than two genders and biology is shunned as a subject worth teaching.

  3265. You're comparing classic television to modern cinema. They're basically apples and oranges, since I always considered television, good television like Carol Burnett, to be more about comfort and simple entertainment than about wonder, awe and suspense. Martin Scorsese is definitely in the latter here, and he will be remembered for decades to come. Reality TV and Netflix killed good television. For cinema I pin part of its downhill on Disney. They don't care about making art, they just want to see profits. You were lucky to work as a prop master in the early 1990s. I feel that was a high point for Hollywood, as studios were more freely able to take risks at the mainstream level. Today it's just sad that Hollywood isn't willing to be that creative anymore. A lot of their recent productions have felt patronizing and insulting, to the point where I feel like they are intentionally trying to lecture me rather than entertain. Television is a wasteland too. Netflix TV shows are just garbage for the most part.

  3278.  @kirbyjoe7484  As a man pushing 40, yes, we are more educated. We are more educated, know more trivia, know more history, and far exceed your generation when it comes to computer tech prowess. Your parents likely worked in 1950s America, when subjects like geography and biology were far more difficult to learn and grasp unless they pursued a degree in college, which was rare. College was primarily aimed at those who pursued professional careers. Today, most of us 30 something year olds have been educated thru college and have taken secondary education, in addition to training. All things that your generation and your parents generation simply did not have. Despite this, our wages are pitiful, and purchasing power isn’t enough to buy even a cheap apartment. Your parents generation, with many being high school dropouts and never experiencing a day of college, got jobs at warehouses and factories with union benefits. All were paid well. The lucky few who pursued entertainment worked behind the scenes in Hollywood, Broadway or the theater circuit. All without former education, all without jumping through a ton of hoops like we have to. In conclusion, manufacturing jobs by less educated men in the 1970s were more than enough to buy a middle class home with wife and two children. You cannot do that today. So while I appreciate that you at least can acknowledge the times changing, many of your peers fail to do this. They double down and point the finger at us. Most of us never bothered or cared about professional jobs or working in show business.

The Karen HR woman doesn’t want masculine men. She wants to rule with an iron fist, and we wonder why most 20 something year olds are weak soy boy guys who can’t defend themselves. The lack of traditional masculinity is apparent in our culture today. Just look at the crap white men have had to go through at their jobs, when feminist women have mostly received the red carpet treatment.

By the 1990s they were already borrowing more money than they can pay back, and helped drastically increase the US National Debt. But people will still throw Millennials and Zoomers under the bus because both generations are young.

  3340.  @jesse_-  What a typical ‘Boomer’ comment. Millennials are the product of the times they were brought up in. Meanwhile, they’re being forced to work multiple jobs to keep the roof on their heads. The older ones pushing 40 and older are just now securing homes, but they’re not going to pay them off any time soon. Not even close. Both the Boomers and the older portion of Gen Xers were able to land jobs straight out of high school and college. Now Millennials and Zoomers are forced to apply online and pass a stupid IQ test just for basic duties like floor sweeping. There is no denying that older generations starting with the Silent Generation (1928/1929 - 1945) had a better quality of life. It was possible to apply and work for a union job that paid your family expenses, cars and home. Not a house, a home with wife and children. This is no longer possible. So while Generation Z (Zoomers) (1997 - 2012) struggles daily to even complete college and obtain a fairly decent job, continue to call Millennials weak, entitled, spoiled and rotten. I suppose you watched those MTV reality shows from the 2000’s and 2010’s and figured this is how the Millennials acted in day to day life. Giving the younger generations crap makes you just as entitled as a lot Boomers are themselves.

There is virtually nothing for mental health anymore. When I worked at FedEx in 2015 they actually had violence helplines for people who may snap after working 60 - 80 hour weeks. It’s not the person, it’s the corporation pulling this garbage.

Nowadays, it’s normalized. And my own generation (Millennials) is largely responsible for promoting this. Even those of us pushing 40 years of age. Baby Boomers clearly raised a soft generation and we are seeing the results of that in full view.

Lebron James still tells people he is a victim, despite being a billionaire and now hailed as one of greatest players of all time despite not attending college at all. Louis Armstrong faced oppression, racism, the deep seated hatred in the South, the Jim Crow laws that were prevalent in the South, and so on. And yet he became one of the greatest solo performers in jazz. Lebron James, in contrast, looks confused and not there whenever he is asked a question about racism. His ignorance and stupidity really shine in interviews. He is a super athlete, nothing more.

I’m old enough and I was around back in the 90s to see this happen firsthand. We still brag and boast on social media, despite being well in our 30s. If we want responsibility, we need to cut off Twitter, Instagram and TikTok and actually learn to accept patience. Millennials didn’t have a smooth transition, but the Baby Boomers did next to nothing to teach that responsibility. Now we find ourselves in the same boat as the Zoomers, while the Boomers are relaxing at home with their retirement funds while they’re sucking away Social Security.

Most of the rational people I know who can hold a healthy conversation are older people in their late 50s to late 70s. A number of them will not be around in 10 years, which is what’s truly upsetting. At this point we may as well be living in a Matrix. Reject reality because it has been ruined.

  3478.  @rmath8605  What I also find interesting is while people think Lee Harvey Oswald was the ‘supposed’ killer, there are many theories that disprove he alone killed JFK. Also Lee was killed for fear he might spill the truth. Speculation also dictates that the American Mafia played a real role in helping JFK win the 1960 Presidential Elections. Speculation also dictates they had a hand in killing him. A reporter named Dorothy Kilgallen who was famous for being a Broadway columnist and for being on the popular television game show What’s My Line died under mysterious circumstances in 1965. She worked on the details surrounding the JFK assassination and before she could reveal much, she grew sick and died. There is a book on her you can buy or read off the internet that is highly recommended. There was so much from this period that will never be truly known, but most in America feel this was the very beginning of when it started to go off rails. Lyndon Johnson implemented policies to further let the country go off rails, and the rest is history.

  3483.  @brandonking5111  If you’re saying that they ushered in the Baby Boomers and had Ronald Reagan usher in crap that we’re still paying for, then yes, they are responsible. But here’s the difference. They’re practically all dead and gone. Baby Boomers in contrast still control Congress and a majority of global corporations. Globalization didn’t start taking effect until the 80’s - 2000’s, by which point the WW2 generation was either long retired or dead. I’ve spoken with young soldiers, including those who served their time and are disabled veterans. There is no sense of patriotism within them. And it’s not their fault. We’re treating some Iraq War veterans like dirt. The war that George W Bush helped start 20 years ago along with the media propaganda machine putting out the ‘War on Terror’. The Greatest Generation didn’t mentor their kids all too well either. But what I’m saying is there’s more going on that we’re just now beginning to understand.

  3513. These are Millennial and Zoomer aged women who have no purpose. No goals. No fulfillments. Baby Boomers were the last generation to actually have decent women at their side. If you weren’t born early enough to marry back in the 80’s and 90’s, you have already been placed at a disadvantage. I will be 40 next month in January. Not old enough to be a person of wisdom, but not young enough to fall for the stupid lies 20 something year old women typically pull. I’ve been in many relationships. None of these women care about marriage. None of them care about starting any family and making an actual home (using a house to simply rest and then work doesn’t count). So I gave up. I’d rather be single.

  3516. So we’re supposed to think the broken families many blacks have today are any better? They were together back then because they had no outside help. They had to stick together because otherwise they would be discriminated against or worse, beaten to death. The Great Society sounded good on paper but it has been a real travesty these past few decades. By the time the 1990’s hit, black families were broken. Single mothers raising kids was the norm. No male role model in the home.

  3519. @ If you have a physical book you read it as many times as you want. With an eBook, a corporation or organization has the right to take it away from you. Corporations cannot physically alter physical books, DVDs, games, etc. The big problem is the garbage they put on these DVDs and games, so they're not as safe as people think. There is also a timer on a lot of DVDs, so eventually, you won't be able to play them. If I have a Steam account I run the risk of having all my digital games taken away because I got banned from the platform or whatever. Not only do I lose my access permanently, I also have to repurchase the same games if I want to play them again. PC gamers have no other choice except either to do that or sail the high seas. Someone also notified me that a scene that I uploaded from the film Anger Management has an altered line when you watch it on Amazon Prime. Which again, points to physical DVDs being the proper choice if you don't want something to be altered. As long as they don't hit that timer.

Since the 1970’s or so, the United States has taken on tacky and cheap trends, like the stupid wood panels/walls that Baby Boomers were plastering all over homes back then. Millennials decided on glass boxes, and now most new condos have the same ugly, disgusting aesthetic. Nothing feels individualized or beautiful, it all feels fake and collective.

  3526.  @JosephBoxmeyer-u3d  Your story reminds me of an 80 year old couple that lived not far from me who were talking about how bad television is, and how shows like The Carol Burnett Show were so great despite their limitations. I never heard about Carol Burnett, but one day when I was there to help with their housework they convinced me to watch an episode of her classic show from the 1960’s on DVD. It was laugh inducing. Mainstream entertainment has become so bad largely because there are no limitations anymore. So in regard to music, everyone just skips past a Taylor Swift song because it lacks feeling. Then they stumble upon an old Led Zeppelin song and skip that too because it doesn’t interest them. This disposable entertainment culture has created a feeling of defeat, disrespect, uncaring aura that is hard to ignore.

  3533.  @Raggmopp-xl7yf  I’m sort of envious for you guys. The parents/grandparents of that era fought in WW2 and tried to give you kids (of the era) a better life. That was the theme of 1950’s - 1960’s television. They portrayed white middle class families in splendor, Leave it to Beaver being a good example of this. My era is the late 1980’s - early 2000’s, when the rot had already settled in. I feel thankful I left college before the 2007 housing crisis and 2008 financial crash. Young Millennials got shafted, and things are even worse for the Zoomer generation, who are utterly lost and without hope. Older Millennials like myself (late 30’s) were the last to remember a time before 9/11. Leave it to Beaver was one of several tv programs our cable and later satellite provider had, along with I Love Lucy, Bewitched and I Dream of Jennie. I remember they were on Nick at Nite.

  3534.  @Raggmopp-xl7yf  No doubt. The 2000’s was when the banks really started to embarrass themselves. The Silicon Valley bank is just one of many banks that have failed. Sadly, the Millennial and Zoomer generations are leaning Communist/Socialist in their political views. You cannot debate or reason with a lot of them. They are woefully ignorant of the Soviet Union, which to be honest, we were just kids when it collapsed. Yes, I think we are the last to actually be self sufficient. The shows we watched as kids in the 80’s and 90’s taught you to be more responsible, something that modern kid shows today fail to do. Modern TV is basically propaganda. It benefits no one.
    1
  3535.  @Raggmopp-xl7yf  The thing was back then, those shows were designed to make you forget your troubles. Sitcoms like I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver and The Beverly Hillbillies did this perfectly. This is probably why those oldies are still loved after all these years. Even The Brady Bunch. Nowadays shows are expected to be more like The Sopranos and Game of Thrones. Which is fine, but the shows that Millennial aged writers are doing now are junk. The writing is dull, probably because many Millennials lack that vital life experience that people like George Lucas of Star Wars fame had. They can't write good stories, so they basically resort to political propaganda to make the writing for them. Modern day America is basically one big piece of propaganda. Instead of being apolitical young people are now expected to believe that "everything is political". It's no wonder why we have all this political discourse.

  3536.  @Raggmopp-xl7yf  There are exceptions to oldies TV. I’m a big Lucy fan, and I enjoy Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel. Star Trek: TNG is probably my all time favorite sci fi TV series. Excellent writing. Anime does a better job with the storytelling than modern western shows/movies. Western comic books are a joke at this point.

Reagan put Christianity, enjoyable Hollywood movies and a more fun lifestyle back into the spotlight. Bush Sr was a shadow after the Reagan years. Clinton takes over and suddenly the incarceration rate for blacks spikes. The pendulum swings left, with feminists gaining the upper hand in both media and in the workplace. You already described the three men who took over after Bill, so I don't need to repeat what you said.

  3540. The subways were never ‘better’ or ‘friendlier’ at any time in NYC’s history. Even as a kid growing up in the mid - late 80’s to mid 90’s the subways were generally filthy. The passengers were rude and rarely considerate. Jordan Neeley, the Michael Jackson impersonator, is just one of many sad cases. NYC subways were filth ridden and dirty. People forget 80’s era NYC was dirty and there was rampant crime, which partly helped fuel the Hip Hop music craze of that generation. Just as the West Coast has pro-crime policies that destroyed California, the same is happening in NYC and Philadelphia, along with the Northeastern United States. My grandparents, before they died, used to tell me that when they were young in the 1950s and 1960s, they would face very severe punishment if they so much as shoplifted or committed any of the crimes that are now allowed today by our policies. Gradually the laws became more lax, and now any Marxist is allowed to get away with almost anything outside of blatant murder.

All of these people gave good interviews, and all played roles in movies and TV that people can relate to. Even Robin Williams could be hilarious and still deliver a role that we could all relate to.

The 1992 LA Riots as a result of the Rodney King beating was a clear indicator racism was far from dead. It makes perfect sense.

  3588.  @Dhalin That’s because America and other western countries back then were actually free market capitalist, not corporatist as they are today. Apple (before Steve took over in the 2000’s) was a fledgling company who was losing out to Microsoft. Their computers were okay. Then when Jobs took over they began selling iMacs that were fair to good in quality. Now everything they make is trash, with a price tag that’s too much. It’s the same with cars, especially Mercedes Benz, who makes terrible electronics and there are touchscreens replacing what was a mechanical dashboard.

  3637.  @davegibbs6423  Blair was a failure. He was to your country what Clinton was for us. Introduced many problems that we’re still facing today. Thatcher, likewise, had a similar vibe to Reagan. You probably still remember them meeting each other. Democrats hated Nancy Reagan. Sleepy Joe gave reliance on a country far away from us much more than our own citizens. And the border situation? Nonexistent in this current administration. That is largely why the Democrats just lost the elections last month. All of the screaming parrots flooding social media, threatening to move overseas if the wrong person gets elected. I say good riddance.

  3656. How long ago was this? The 90s? The 2000s? I already know my niece and nephew, age 7 and 8, can't do anything near what I was able to do at that age. I think of the things I did back then in 1995 - 2000, which many parents regarded as being okay. I imagine most parents today would look at those same things and claim they can't be allowed. That is regression. I used to travel away from home and school, sometimes a mile or two out, without parental supervision. Nowadays if a parent has their kids wandering a little too far they made face some serious trouble. I'm just glad I grew up in the 1990s, and not today. I feel sorry for kids today, that much is definite.

Living on the TV or computer was not only heavily discouraged, we were punished because many adults did not desire to see kids as shut ins. Now we are just that. Shut ins, while we hear doomsday from every media outlet while todays generation of kids live in constant fear. This is not the world I desired nor needed 30 years ago.

  3663.  @longbow6245  You were just a little kid when Hippies came around in the 1960’s. According to my grandparents, they destroyed etiquette and already tried abolishing the nuclear family. That’s not to say young people can’t learn etiquette, but they have to be taught that in their families. Many kids and young adults today were never taught any regulations and manners, so this is the result we get. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, so I don’t have the experience you do, but even in those decades we still had communities that care for one another. Smartphones and the internet destroyed them. There’s just as much despair on the internet as there is in the real world.

I've been in a number of relationships, and it's not worth it. The number of women over 30 who have had a rotating door of men is becoming quite ridiculous at this point. The values taught at home are garbage. The American education system is teaching our children LGBTQ values while the government is handing out student loans so these kids sink into debt. It's a sad situation and it's only going to get worse.

  3674. The youth over the past few generations has prioritized simplicity and fancy wording over that of formality and proper English. I watched a vintage show from the 1960’s where expressions like “We had a blast” and “We split from this joint” were the cool things to say. It was how youth identified from each other.

  3675. Gen Y is technically Millennial. You are basically a Xennial if you were born in 1981 - 1983. Close to be with Gen X, just not a part of their generation. Gen X got shafted too, especially the younger group that grew up in the 80s and early 90s. A lot of 45 - 50 year olds don’t have anywhere the wealth that Boomers have. Perhaps a 1965 - 1970 born Gen X, but they were the last to make it out. Reaganomics and placing every single job behind a college degree has stifled three generations of adults. Gen Z gave up earlier because they already knew the entire system is rotten.

  3677. Funny how NYC was so much better in the late 90’s. Not only was the cost of living much cheaper, but you didn’t have as many homeless. Why? Because more people back then could gain jobs and careers, as well as a social network of contacts. Homeless are treated with as much hostility as the shrinking middle class. The rich are all that NYC and most of the country care about.

And we don’t care what struggles Boomers had 50 years ago or 30 years ago.

  3712. This is why I respect older blacks like Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Malcolm X and MLK Jr. Two sport athletes, two civil rights activists. Malcolm X was the most radical out of all of them, but all four men received countless numbers of death threats. Hank Aaron received death threats just for being black. For Jackie Robinson, the problem was worse. African Americans went from having actual justified reasons to fight racism, to just playing the victim and spewing anti-white rhetoric. This journalist is certainly in the latter. He never overcome hardships like MLK Jr. He was never outstanding like Willie Mays or Hank Aaron. He never had a purpose.

  3723. Elvis didn't have a college degree. I can imagine many WW2 parents were disgusted when Elvis Presley sung "Hound Dog" on the Ed Sullivan show back in 1956. But you have to give the man credit, he practically ushered in an entire new music genre (Rock n' Roll) and he was the influence of countless musicians. Even with me having grown up in the North (Northern States in the USA) and detecting that accent Elvis Presley had (he was born in Mississippi), I can pick up what he was saying rather quickly. Despite not having former education, he sounded a lot more eloquent than most Millennial and Zoomer aged people I hear today. Elvis was a lot more articulate. When I hear old interviews with Greatest Generation and Silent Generation people, they sounded far more eloquent. I don't know what happened, but this trend of the American education system going downhill is terrible, to put it mildly.

I also thought parts of GTA V were bad because the story at times takes itself too seriously. In previous games, the drama would be there, but it wasn’t thrown in your face, and most of the characters, who had political motives, felt natural in their ways. GTA IV was a good blend of story and laughing at humorous moments. This balance no longer exists.

They can’t afford to pay the insurance costs and they costs they have to make to repair the damage. Ted Wheeler meanwhile just sits there and does nothing.

If Louis isn’t blacklisted by Apple, he makes drastically less money for being raw and honest. That’s how it goes on YT. Most of the people I’m subbed to are those who aren’t afraid to be themselves.

Lyndon Johnson tore up black families in the 1960s according to Thomas Sowell. Which again, happened long before Oliver was born. NOBODY is simply stating these problems happened overnight. A number of these problems have been going on for at least 30 - 50 years. Oliver himself is still fairly young, not young as to be college aged but most definitely not old.

The Baby Boomers screwed everybody that came after them, including Generation X. I identify with older Millennials and Generation X. I cannot identify with people born after the late 80s - early 90s. There is too much of a generation gap between me and somebody born in 1994 -1996, even though they are technically still called Millennials. We were exposed to a lot of Gen X stuff growing up, so many of my idols came from that generation. Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation don't have a better sense of right and wrong either. Just look at Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Both are incompetent and they cannot run a country.

  3784.  @Living_Dead_Girrl  Let's correct some things here. First off, I'm in my mid 30s. I was born before you. I was there firsthand to see a lot of kids getting suckered into the military back in the mid 2000s, largely thanks to the failed "War on Terror" and George W Bush being one of the worst presidents the US ever had. Second, Kurt Cobain was most certainly a Gen X. He hated a lot of shit. Fame, Hollywood, a number of his peers, you name it. I was brought up in the state where Grunge was made circa 1989 - 1991, during the dying days of Hair Metal. I'm from Washington State, and I was exposed to Grunge firsthand, just like your aging mother was exposed to the JFK assassination. It's something you never forget. Hair Metal was cliche, boring and formulaic. Grunge brought a new sound into the Rock genre. So where does that place Kurt Cobain? He was born after the Baby Boomers, he was born before a lot of Gen X individuals. So are we starting to label people on the edge those who aren't really in the supposed brackets America has labeled the specific generations? That's bullshit. Tupac Shakur was born in June 1971. Biggie Smalls was born in 1972. They were most certainly Gen X musicians. Their style and delivery resonated with many of their peers. You cannot tell me the culture they represented was the Baby Boomers as a whole. Maybe the late Boomers, those born in the early 1960s, but not the entire generation. Baby Boomers influenced the record labels and brought up these Gen X musicians. But Gen X was its own culture. A large portion of their generation fueled the counter culture movement of the early - mid 1990s. Grunge and Gangsta Rap hit their prime in that time period. The Boomers were responsible for the birth of the internet while living off the high tide of the 1990s economy. Gen X lived off a portion of it. Millennials were too young and incapable of doing anything until at least the early 2000s. By that point, 9/11 already happened and George W Bush and his military was already sending young soldiers to Iraq. Most of the Zoomers are in high school and younger. But their older brethren are living a false reality. They were too young to understand and remember 9/11 and the Financial Crash of 2008. Everybody was too focused slinging dirt on the Millennials. You, of course, praise your own generation, whether you admit it or not. Every single person, or I should say every other person I have met both on the internet and in person praises their own generation as the greatest since sliced bread. That's why I get fucking pissed off when Zoomers bitch over petty bullshit. It's easy to fucking do that when you're only 16 years old and you barely know life. I'm over twice that age, and I'm older than you so I have actual experience in knowing what our generation has done. Everybody you mentioned including Aaron Swartz that was/is a member of Gen Y was heavily involved with technology. That's mostly what we've done that has been the most beneficial. We're the first generation to embrace social media. Edward Snowden and Manning already know this. So does Mark Zuckerberg, whose own product I feel has done more harm than good. Kurt Cobain living a rough life and hated most of everything, which resorted to him using drugs and being dead at the young age of 27. I supported everything you said until you made this comment. You praise most everything your generation did. That's the cycle. We hate Baby Boomers because they're the old guys stuck in the past. We hate Gen X because they got lucky while we lucked out. We hate Zoomers because they are the equivalent of the snot nosed piece of shit brat who just entered high school. But our own generation? We're the greatest. We haven't done any wrongdoing, regardless of what other generations think. Pretty soon we're going to be the 60 year old fart that every young person fucking hates while the people older are too old and senile to give a flying fuck. You didn't even bother to comment on anything I said about my time at Dollar Tree, so why am I wasting my time talking to you?

  3787.  @Living_Dead_Girrl  I'm still over a year older than you, I'm in my mid 30s and even though I understand everything you're saying, I feel like it's beginning to be too late to turn the tide. There was a lot of Jimi Hendrix influence not just in Gen X bands, but also in Baby Boomer era bands. There's a good reason why he still remains one of the best rock guitarists of all time. A number of these bands have Hendrix like bits and pieces if you listen closely to some of the songs they made. Punk Rock predated Grunge by over a decade. It was a subculture in the late 1970s, early 1980s that the mainstream generally resented and disliked. Grunge, like Punk before it, was in many respects rebel music. Rock has long been associated with rebellion, stretching back several decades. Millennials have been stomped on and picked on since the early 2000s. If I didn't know any better, a portion of our generation still come off as high school kids who are manchildren. I look at some of my peers approaching their mid - late 30s and it seems like they never progressed past high school mentally. They still fucking post shit content on Instagram. They still drone like tired Baby Boomers on Reddit and Facebook. They still portray themselves as 'influencers' on YouTube when they are actually brainwashing the youth into thinking a materialistic lifestyle is the only thing that matters. On and on and on. We still refuse to take up leadership positions. And in some places in America and elsewhere you can see the fine work MIllennials are doing. Baby Boomers are the common scapegoat. They're the old farts still living off of Social Security, that will be completely non-existent by the time Millennials reach retirement age. They were truly the first and last generation to really live a wondrous lifestyle, brought by the boom of mid 20th century America that would then conclude with the Tech Boom of the 1990s. 9/11 was bad. The Housing Crisis and the 2008 Financial Crash was bad. 2013 was bad for the reasons you stated. But we need to move on. If we want to be remembered as something better, we need to work for it. Unfortunately, most of my generation isn't doing much of anything to turn the tide of things. We're still sitting in our glass houses soaking up Netflix, Amazon Prime and dozens of other live stream services. We're letting the decline of western society continue rather than try to stop it. The power elite and the extreme wealthy who are running our world are absolutely loving where things are right now.

All it takes for some of you people to stir outrage is to get a little push. That’s when I realized that the powers that be have been initiating a campaign to divide everyone. Without the modern internet, Matt Walsh would be struggling to keep afloat with his theocratic views on religion, namely Christianity, since Jesus is the only one who matters. Nothing has changed.

  3802. You realize you're on a conservative channel, right? I think of Matt Walsh and his devoted supporters to be the children of people like Rush Limbaugh. Plus, have you seen Matt try to play video games? He is terrible at them. He was clearly brought up in a religious household in a time when online gaming was in its infancy. He doesn't realize that our culture was already going in this direction back in the 90's.

  3803. Matt would of been an ideal 1980s - 1990s Christian. Always trying to censor stuff they don't like. Trying to shield kids from filth. I would of loved to see Matt support groups like PMRC who tried to ban rock albums in the 1980s. Frank Zappa would of ripped Matt Walsh to pieces.

Even in her prime and when her career took a nosedive sometime in the 1970s, she remained humble. Try to say that for these helpless, selfish, self absorbed, narcissistic crybaby celebrities Hollywood has now. They aren’t talented. They aren’t gifted. They aren’t good at their craft. They’re just one dimensional actors. They can’t hold a candle compared to the likes of Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, Dean Martin or even more contemporary, modern actors like Robin Williams. Hollywood is trash. Went there a few years back before COVID hit, and it is essentially every bit as fake as you can imagine.

Meanwhile Japan and South Korea have modern railways with high speed rail, yet they still care enough for their traditions and their history as to NOT bulldoze and destroy monuments and landmarks in history. Whereas Churchill statues are being torn down in your country, here in America we have George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues being torn down for the same reasons.

Just to further prove your point on the world often not being great. I didn't give up, but finding a good traditional woman in the western world at this point is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I'm almost 40, and have gone thru several relationships, some okay, some not so okay. You say children might not be easy, but so is finding your partner/spouse. Too many women were brainwashed with feminist propaganda and social media. Average guys like myself have gotten the short end of the stick. Traditional women are still out there, I've met them myself and interacted with them. But it's difficult to find one, let alone form a relationship that will give you purpose, which is in increasingly short supply. Millennials didn't turn out the way you view them as in a vacuum. They grew up with a certain perspective and timeline. They are products of their era, so to speak, as were everyone else who came before them.

It eventually became a big inspiration for the film The Matrix. If you ask me the 80s and 90s was the prime of Japanese anime. Cool and awesome, but niche enough to where it hadn't been corrupted by the mainstream. Wasn't easy to find, you had to go to dedicated video stores that carried VHS tapes of anime to find it. And even then the English dubs were usually laughable. But the production and animation were top notch.

  3893.  @smflatt  Matt Walsh made most of his entire point towards teenagers. I’m at least 20 years older than them, as your teens technically end at 18 - 19 and I will be 40 next year. In hindsight, I’m in the same age group as Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles. But here you are 30+ years older and you are displaying all the signs of a disgruntled Boomer. Too old to care, too unwilling to help anyone younger. Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck are more so your types of speakers, but Rush and Bill aren’t around anymore.

  3916. Jay Leno did stand up comedy decades before Johnny Carson left when he took his place. Leno was good for the most part, making punch lines about the issues of the times, giving his guests room to breathe, and interviewing dumb people on the streets of LA. Didn't like Jay Leno's Garage, it had too much of the reality show nonsense attached to it. Daily Show is garbage and so are sitcoms now.

Here in Washington State we pay a firm sales tax, but no state income tax. If I had to pay California prices with their garbage policies I would be priced out of my apartment complex. This is no different than Seattle and Olympia trying to determine laws in eastern Washington. There are a couple Red counties in the western part of the state that don’t like deep Blue policies. The best thing you can do is live with what you got. Move somewhere else if things aren’t working out.

They’re not moving away, they’re being bogged down by the insane inflation. You, in contrast, were living life in 1988 when housing prices were much, much cheaper. Your wages paid you your homes. A $100,000 house back then is probably pushing close to $750,000 to $1 million today. I’ve worked with Millennials like this guy. We’re not stupid. We didn’t just become addicts and play video games in mom’s basement. Our purchasing power is nothing compared to what older generations have and/or had. That is largely why we’re in this situation.

  3952.  @Thagomizer  People like to argue about the stuff put in popular American foods and the fact that more of us are “sheltered” in contrast to past generations. The real news is Millennials and Zoomers have not been able to grasp the same benefits and opportunities the Baby Boomers did. Even Generation X was able to land jobs back in the 80’s - 90’s that paid much better than what Zoomers are dealing with today. Asking a man to be like Hulk Hogan or Arnold Schwarzenegger in their prime is unrealistic, because for one, they took performance enhancing drugs. But the average male Baby Boomer has more testosterone than the average Millennial, and that is no coincidence. It’s the reality we live in now, and as I see more Zoomers acting more woman like, this is a crisis that has gone on for way too long.

  3970. @Steven g We live in bad times. The reason Gen X and the Boomers had it better in a lot of ways is because the culture they lived in was better. Boomers and a portion of Gen X held all the good jobs. Good benefits, good pay, and opportunity to move up the career ladder. Even if you bounced from job to job, the wages in contrast to living a daily day to day life were far more balanced. Today, we live in a culture of dystopia. Millennials should be the ones to be the core of the work force and taking up administrative positions, while the Zoomers should be working towards a promising career. But things aren't quite like that. The corporate elite control everything, and they are a good reason why so many young people are miserable.

Half of your generation is still going to high school. So obviously, you guys have little to no role models of your own. So many of you praise Kylie Jenner and her shit standards. Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg, who is actually concerned for her people and the future of this planet, is getting far less attention than she deserves. Perhaps some of you should look into the mirror every now and then. Being this upset over a random people like myself, who is just an average guy trying to make a living, is nothing short of pathetic.

  3975.  @teaspoonsofpeanutbutter6425  The problem is half of you are taking offense anyway. I never said I was better for being older. I used to get the same crap from Gen X around 15 - 20 years ago simply because I was a kid who "didn't know any better". The real issue is you Zoomers are going to have to really man up and come together if you want to ensure a good future. The transgender community nowadays for instance is highly woke, overly sensitive, and couldn't take a good joke if their lives depended on it. When I make a critical opinion on something or anything really, I should not have to silenced. But that's the world we live in today. The internet used to be an escape from the real world. Now it IS the real world. So many of us are miserable because of the economy and the politics we're living under. For the record, I'm an Asian dude who has had many White friends, homosexuals, Blacks, Americans, Europeans, etc etc. So I couldn't give a fuck what race anybody here is. But make a critical opinion on some group or whatever, suddenly we have to be silenced. This video perfectly nails down how we became snowflakes, especially after Trump entered the White House.

And for the record, I've been on this website since 2007. To even think that someone who disagrees with you in a heated debate should belong in a fucking asylum just proves to me you're not worth talking to. Get to grips with reality. Millennials and Zoomers both get a bad reputation for a good reason. I'm certainly not going to let some smug Zoomer asshole tell me that he's better or that I'm somehow in the wrong just because I came before he did.

It’s just that now, our universities are making the scams that issue useless degrees that are a requirement for crummy jobs that barely give you a roof over your head. University was expensive for the average person back in the 1950s - 1980s. Back then the job recruiters knew that. You were able to work manufacturing with only a highschool diploma or minimal college experience, and afford a family. That is no longer an option.

I don’t particularly like Michael Knowles either, but I don’t know his relationships outside of the content he posts on DailyWire. In this case, I blame technology. Before porn became widespread it was simply harder to access. You had to visit adult video stores, often low quality VHS tapes and later DVDs. When the internet consisted of dial-up and slow DSL that limited peoples ability to upload such content. Playboy was tame in contrast to what we have now. It’s disgusting and when men want to do nothing but engage in it, there’s no hope for family and children.

Even when adjusted for inflation, it’s not even close. Something has to give. New York, LA, Chicago will all collapse at some point.

  4016.  @Rex_Racer  Harry Truman starting pushing legislation after a certain black soldier was beaten back in 1946 just as he was visiting his family after World War II. This man would be blind from his injuries for the rest of his life, and he died in 1992. In my opinion, the system has been broken for decades. Take Tupac Shakur for instance. Hip Hop rapper from the 90’s who was shot at a drive by shooting. Lived the gangster lifestyle. Never had a father. Raised by a single mother. Always talked about gangs and the police. The decay in black families was already clear by the early 1990’s. If you remember the Rodney King beating, the trial and the LA riots that followed, black communities were already being torn apart. Young black men saw more opportunities with gangs than they did in their own homes. What Matt Walsh is saying has already been happening for over 30 to 40 years. But unless you’ve been really doing your homework, you probably weren’t aware until 10 to 20 years ago.

  4017.  @fattymatty5380  I had a friend back in the early 1990's who had serious emotional problems. The issue? His uncle sexually abused and assaulted him when he was around 2 - 5 years of age. The other issue? Having a mother that did drugs and did little to help the child's concerns. Today in 2023, I can predict two things. 1. He is now inside of a prison cell. 2. He is now deceased, whether it's death by despair, suicide or whatever, doesn't matter. Had to cut strings from him around 1996 or so, which feels like a lifetime ago.

I remember Goosebumps books being popular; Windows 95/98; Slap It Wrists; Pogs; Bill Nye the Science Guy; the Super Mario/Sonic the Hedgehog rivalry during the Sega Genesis/Super Nintendo era; Nickelodeon with Kenan & Kel, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Rugrats and the debut of Spongebob Squarepants; Barney & Friends; and Michael Jordan playing for the Chicago Bulls in his prime.

  4078. I can't speak for the UK education system, considering this entire YouTube channel that post videos like this are UK themselves. But this is 100% true regarding America. This system worked up until the 1970s and early - mid 1980s. Then high tech started to enter society and combined with the decline of manufacturing jobs in 1980 to 1985, the shift was already happening. The entire decade of the 2000s can be summed up as a great loss of jobs while America was busy fighting the "War on Terror", as the Bush administration put it. Now you have useless Millennials and Zoomers who are struggling just to keep their house afloat because everything now is high tech and the focus is on it. Anything in the job field that isn't high tech or has some element of it is being phased out. The manufacturing jobs that are left are basically slave labor contracts. You work 50 - 60+ hour weeks in bad conditions and little to no benefits. Baby Boomers came up with a system that promised them good benefits and there were plenty of manufacturing jobs available for them. Now those factory and manufacturing jobs are gone, replaced by useless service and office jobs that are just there for busy work. The younger generations are left with little to no future. It's not their fault at all. It's the administrations and the elites running America who have little care for anyone but themselves.

  4087.  @sandevieira5674  The Greatest Generation actually earned their keep. You Boomers spent your childhoods watching Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver and other wholesome shows. You had TV news media that respected its audience, and you could trust the media to give you something good. Today, kids are being bombarded from all angles. Our media dropped real journalism long ago, now just making propaganda for those who don’t know better. The average college kid graduates with a hefty amount of debt, and don’t think a summer job or part time job will pay that off because it won’t. You voted for Ronald Reagan and gave the a okay to ship manufacturing jobs overseas. What was once good paying jobs with union benefits is now slave labor, with no chance of being promoted. Management can fire you with the tip of the hat. So no. America is not doing better, it is getting worse. And you Boomers have done a lot to accelerate the decline.

  4088.  @sandevieira5674  Nixon and Reagan both implemented policies that did monumental damage to America. The Greatest Generation was brought up in the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression. Both tough times which shaped them to be more hard, resilient human beings. The Boomers, their children, were given a pampered life in comparison. As a Millennial I still cannot afford a home, and I’m approaching my late 30’s. Wages are stagnant and our economy has reached insufferable inflation levels. College does not provide a good of education as it used to be. You’re expecting kids to pay $50 - 100 thousand dollars for university when they can barely afford basic necessities? There is a reason why the younger generations are looking down at you lot. And before you start telling us to pull up ourselves by the bootstraps, I can safely say we have already done that. The system we are living in now makes it more difficult to get places in life.

A group of Hippies whom in the early 70s were advocating for peace, or a group of Millennials advocating for BlackLivesMatter and the end of inequality, among other things? 1971 was definitely not a great year. President Nixon was already steering the USA in the wrong direction and there were events that eventually lead to the Energy Crisis. The one positive I can give for back then was people were more social in person. But there was no real high tech technology back then like computers unless you worked in a specific field of study. The point is, we still look at the past with rose tinted goggles, and refuse to acknowledge the wonderful things that can be achieved in the present and future.

  4130.  @dividedstatesofamerica2520  You’re talking of a very small time period in American history. If you’re going to talk about entertainment on the mainstream level, the mid 1960s to the early 1970s was a high point for America. Talk about Motown. Elvis Presley. Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. The Beatles. James Brown. The Jackson Five. Television shows like Ed Sullivan. But in terms of the average person, this era was not as prosperous as you make it out to be. Discredit the 1980s because of Ronald Reagan. Okay fine. You might as well discredit the 1990s and after because Reaganomics steered the direction of America. Your cutoff point is 1973. Why? Is it the Energy Crisis? Is it because Disco was emerging and lowered the standards of mainstream American music? Was it the Draft being removed? You’re completely delusional, and since you consider 40 to be still young, I’m guessing you’re some cantankerous old man living in the woods by yourself screaming into the void.

You realize how high real estate is now, right? The average 25 year old can’t afford a home, can barely hold onto a studio apartment which is essentially just a place to rest while you slave away at your job. Your statement isn’t relevant to what’s going on here. Maybe read up some news articles and stop burying your head in the sand.

I have tried numerous times to form a relationship but in the end I just end up losing more than what I initially started with. So I’ve thrown the towel on women completely. Doesn’t help that our schools have become completely useless which meant I worked towards a fancy piece of paper, nothing else. California is ranked near the bottom in the country when it comes to the school system. Cost of living is too high. San Francisco is a hole of self reflected hatred, Fentanyl overdoses, no real morals, and a lack of self respect. We were never going to get the kinds of passes Baby Boomers got. Elder Gen Xers were the last group to have things good. Then it all went downhill.

People were not as fat back then. Sometime I guess in the 1990’s or early 2000’s, the FDA decided to approve a bunch of junk food, growth hormones, and chemicals into our American food. We can’t escape from it. The best I found was eating more Asian foods, I eat at some Asian restaurants and the food not only tastes better, it is far more healthy for you. The FDA is a completely corrupt organization. They want us fat and dumb on purpose.

Today, these Zoomer morons would "cancel" you for trying to to criticize Kylie Jenner.

  4203.  @survivingthetimes They have become marshmallow soft because that’s how they were raised. What most people here fail to point out is Baby Boomers in general have taken all the good paying jobs and deliberately destroyed the rungs on the career ladder. These days few people in my own generation (Millennial) have a career at all. We just bounce from job to job hoping to get a little something out of it. When that job becomes toxic or whatever, we just jump ship to the next thing. The cycle repeats itself. Millennials as a whole are whiny, self entitled, arrogant and ignorant. Boomers gave them participation medals and told them to prepare for a world that no longer exists. We didn’t become this way in a vacuum. Rather, we are the products of something that was already occurring decades ago. Now we have Gen Z in the workforce, who are even more emotional and prone to breakdowns. The future is not looking so bright.

  4204.  @s.c.2424  My 70 year old father tells me this all the time. Conservatives are often attacked, but many are not on board with what the mainstream Republican Party wants. Me and my father still consider ourselves left leaning in more ways than one, but we have all abandoned the current day Democratic party because it has gone insane. This is not the party I knew back in the 1990s. Democrats made the culture in that era. Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the internet, it was all spearheaded by left leaning people who wanted culture to flourish. Conservatives back then were still preaching the Bible and were very pro-censorship. Nowadays it's the opposite. The conservatives are trying to make the culture and make America the great country it once was, while the liberals intend to make the country like mainland China. I turn 40 years old in the next couple months, and I fear for our children as dark times lie ahead for us.

  4206.  @MrFallenone  There's no real funding for mental health facilities. That's a good reason why these mass shootings keep popping up in our society. Sure, those facilities wouldn't eliminate the problem entirely, but they could go a long way towards helping young people to a better future. We're not doing that. Instead, we're telling college kids and young 20 something year olds to take 'anti-depressants' and other prescriptions by doctors who were bought by the establishment. Self harm and suicidal thoughts become more commonplace. I live close to Portland, Oregon and seeing what has been going on in that city has been a true nightmare. Too many bums and degenerates who cannot get the help they need. The best that can happen is them being thrown in jail, which solves nothing.

Now your average Democrat controlled city has a bunch of these people living on welfare, and are entirely dependent on the government.

  4211. A friend of mine who is Gen X talked to me recently about why he thinks sports have become awful. When he was in grade school in the 80’s and highschool in the 90’s, he played a linebacker on the school football team. His coaches pitted him against the better players in an effort to improve them. It made him strive harder and work harder as a teammate so that his team could win more games, and possibly save the quarterback. Today this would be considered harsh and cruel, and the coach would face consequences. This is a good reason why many of our youth are soft.

Small wonder Zoomers just picked up where they left off, and they're leaving college with a negative net worth to their name. Gen Xers may have been good, but they're too small a number and they're already dwindling in contrast to Millennials. The Silent Generation are in retirement homes or dead.

I can’t see Gen Z changing things for the better unless drastic change happens. As much garbage as we throw towards the Baby Boomers, there was no doubt that our society was more functional and healthy when they were 30 - 40 year olds providing a good economy back in the 1990s. Millennials have clearly taken over and you can see the utter mess they have created. Public schools now have LGBTQ politics instilled into them, so kids are now having to abide to that. It’s no wonder a good portion of Gen Z are lunatics. Even looking at Gen X, they were more level headed and knew right from wrong.

  4287. Someone told me he worked for the federal government for 20 - 25 years. Loved his job, got good pay. Then sometime in the latter 2000s - 2010s a black woman was hired for a top position which was far above the position that this man worked. Soon after she was hired, all the white men were let go one by one, and finally he was let go. The reason? Politics, anti white rhetorics and white privilege.

  4288. It’s all intentional. A few people at the top are making billions off of this. This is why our current president needs to go. Should the vice president become president then things will slide even further. She is a snake who should not be trusted and judging her fragile emotions, she is not fit to run a country.

  4289.  @BonVoyage861  Agree. Even so, SC2 was basically a multiplayer centric game since the idea of single player strategy RTS was already over by then. Thankfully there are indie companies that have brought back the 90's/early 2000's RTS genre.

  4290.  @sailormatlac9114  I’m not too far from Vancouver BC and it is a literal hellscape. Housing is simply unaffordable for the average person. The homeless population has skyrocketed.

Very sad and I hope the people there who are sick of where things have gone can leave and have a better life elsewhere.

  4294. I used to go to NYC for a year or two after 9/11. While that was a tragedy still strongly felt in every New Yorker, NYC was actually livable and habitable. Getting a halfway decent apartment was possible 20 years ago, even with the city having some of the most expensive electricity in the entire country. Used to attend Yankee games back when George Steinbrenner was still around. Very sad that NYC has devolved into a hellscape.

  4295. It's not legit immigration. Countless illegals flooded our country, displacing what many White Americans put their sweat and tears over while the illegals were given free lunches. A school in Massachusetts decided to bus a number of illegals who were attending the school, over that of White kids, who made up the majority in this town the school resides in. The Democrats economic policies fall closer to socialism than a true free market. And the foreign policies? I don't even need to explain that one.

  4297. The problem, the Greatest Generation is practically all dead. Some are pushing 100, others like former president Jimmy Carter have already reached that milestone. But they are no longer relevant to society. With all that stacked against them, it's no wonder they had strong men and women. You're also leaving out the Roaring Twenties, an era that also presented more than its fair share of problems.

  4298. I know black people in Detroit that just complain and do nothing. Their parents and grandparents did the same thing, dating back to the 1960’s and 1970’s. White people left Detroit because it was already a failing city 40 - 50 years ago.

  4303. I recently watched someone on a vintage Cavett talk show episode dating back to the 1970’s named Jim Brown. He was a great football player in his day, but even more important was he was well composed and disciplined. He was a real gentleman as opposed to the Governor of Georgia, who was a racist fool who spoke the 1960’s racism in regards to admitting blacks into restaurants. Unlike Jim Brown and many in his generation, we have a bunch of 20 and 30 something year olds who are not only ignorant of history, they are arrogant and have obviously been indoctrinated by our modern university system. This man who is coach of the New England Patriots is dumb and can’t see past his little bubble. If you guys wondered why discussions of racism have spiked in recent times, he is part of the problem.

  4310.  @MC-ze8wj  I’m curious to know how old you are. I’m now in my late 30s and I find a lot of women in my generation utterly horrible to deal with. I’ve gone thru countless relationships. I’m convinced that most of the women I had were in broken homes themselves. Every once in a blue moon there would be a younger women who was genuine and honest, but those were few and far between. Young people are getting the shaft. Women not being taught good values. Men being denied actual masculinity which explains the rise in soy men and transgenders. This is a formula that is not coming out with good results.
    1
  4311.  @MC-ze8wj  Some women I knew were like that. But I also had women who were completely narcissistic, they were never told ‘No’ enough times. With reality television shows, you can be someone pushing 50 years of age who has the maturity of a teenager. Unfortunately what happens in the social media space has basically spilled onto the real world. Due to our modern culture, people don’t really feel compelled to grow up. Sure, there’s young people who are honest, caring and genuine, but they always seemed drowned out by the insane.

  4315. Gen Xers put Gen Z in front of computers and video games and expected that would do the parenting. Also, you need to understand that Baby Boomers raised Millennials. Boomers were brought up in the Post War era, a period of great economic growth and opportunity. To compare Boomers with what the Greatest Generation had to put up with during the Great Depression and WW2 is laughable. Many Boomers never experienced real trauma. Hence is why a lot of Millennials are narcissistic. Boomers instilled participation trophies in Millennials. I know, because I saw this happen firsthand when I was going to school in the 90’s.

  4329.  @Michael-qe1xo  I’m telling you the hard truth. Families and friends have to band together and form a community. Do you see New York City doing that? Do you see San Francisco doing that? Of course not. Both cities are controlled by liberals whose purpose is to destroy the family unit. That’s why they have all these homeless people who have no possible way of moving forward. Small town America is our best bet to give us back the family units. And as we’ve seen with the hurricane that struck west North Carolina, our leaders don’t care about banding people together.

  4359.  @jasono2139 They still think we can live like the 1970s and the 1980s. That’s the issue here. Boomers are stuck in the past and they are seemingly unwilling to admit they’re wrong about a great many things. I too, desire to buy a home and have a loving family like many Boomers did 40 - 50 years ago in circa 1974 - 1984. That’s not possible with the income I make and I’m currently living with my GF. Neither she nor I can get far enough to buy any decent home, our only options are places where there is lots of addicts and violence. That’s not a real option for us.

  4360.  @robbyrdog You’re definitely not on the West Coast. Of the three in the continental States bordering the Pacific Ocean, Oregon is probably the cheapest. But it is filled with addicts and the countryside isn’t much better. I was looking at states spanning from Montana to North Dakota, but you have to contend with the extreme cold in the winter. It’s not something I’m well adjusted to, so I dropped the idea of moving to any of those states.

  4365.  @halloweenville1  There's a big difference between putting kids on a pedestal in your own home to raise them and teach them values, and putting them on a pedestal on a reality television show that's just there to get views and clicks. I don't respect the latter, period. I don't respect any parent who openly shares their kids on platforms like TikTok, like the kid we see here. It's one of the reasons why I'm not having kids. I don't want my kids to suffer in a system that is bound to collapse.

  4378.  @joshualawson1579  Baby Boomers treated Gen X like dirt back in the 1980's according to some older friends I have. Some of the 80's talk shows of the era were dominated by Boomers, who told the kids of that time (Gen X) to respect 'tough love'. I like to think of Grunge, the subgenre of Rock that came out of Washington State back in the early 1990's, and Kurt Cobain, the leader of Nirvana, to both be byproducts of Gen X. Gangsta Rap is another byproduct, headed by Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and 2Pac, all members of Gen X. 2Pac in particular had a bad childhood, and resented what Boomers were doing. The Boomers in return hated him, and Gen X was already getting the shaft during the late 80's/early 90's.
    1
  4379.  @tascrphs  The Korean War was the early 1950's, before your generation existed. Vietnam War affected the late Silent generation and elder Baby Boomers. Gen Xers in contrast were only kids when it happened, and their memory of it is vague at best. Your generation does remember the Cold War as it was reaching its end. You remember Ronald Reagan and his slogan to "just say No" to drugs. You remember MTV and their music videos. You remember cable television becoming a thing. You remember Michael Jackson's Thriller music video, the 1980's high top fade, the New Wave music genre, the rebellious Grunge and Gangsta rap sub music genres, the infancy of the internet during the early 1990's, and when manufacturing jobs started to leave in droves. Boomers hated you Gen Xers, so in retrospect, you were really the first generation to get the shaft. Us Millennials came second, and as for the Zoomers, well, everybody is insulting them.

  4380.  @Poocher77  At 44 you should be considered middle aged. Technically you are, but since you’re still under the thumb of Boomers, that still makes you feel like a guy who just graduated university.

London is no longer British London, it’s now a place of chaos and unrest, especially to speak up about the situation in Israel.

It doesn't make sense to me that a Zoomer automatically hates Harry Potter just because.

The bully would end up getting punished. Monsters would be feared and the heroes won victory. These messages were important to children. They were entertainment, yes (Hollywood did this at one time), but they contained messages that were very appropriate. Even school teachers of the day would be influenced by these old cartoons and films.

  4406. I started noticing it with Jerry Springer. A sensational style talk show meant to draw awes and embarrassing moments with shock value. Oprah Winfrey and Rosie O’ Donnell adopted the same thing. Dr Phil? Same thing. Truthfully, there hasn’t been an American talk show that has been neutral or thought provoking in decades. You will have to go back to Johnny Carson, Cavett, Merv Griffith and other old heads to find that. At this point only Boomers can recount that stuff.

  4438.  @Patrick_919  As a native of California, I can tell you a portion of those areas are essentially hot desert. Nevada and Arizona may not be Texas but they are more conservative leaning. The big downside of Texas is the weather, but it’s otherwise pretty tolerable these days. Every big California city is filled with leftist politicians, leftist people and people of the worst kind. LA and Hollywood were both ruined by progressive politics and blue haired imbeciles. Governor Newsom is one of the worst things to happen to Cali in recent times, so in my opinion, it’s the worst state.

  4451. As someone who lived and grew up in California, I no longer recognize it. And I’m only half White, which resulted in a lot of bullying when I was a child. Today it seems the anti-white parties are actively seeking revenge on those whites who bullied them back in the 80’s and 90’s. Newsflash, only a small percentage of those white kids actually bullied. The rest got along well with minorities and other races as long as they all understood American rights and customs. Now California is a breeding ground for the new ‘Jim Crow’ which means if you’re a straight white male who wants a traditional marriage to a white girl with kids, there is no place for you on the left. In fact there is no place for you in most of California. Then we wonder why white conservatives are leaving California in droves.

  4453.  @pinchebruha405  There was someone I talked to who worked in the Los Angeles area for 40 years involving construction, building homes, and so forth. There was and is a deliberate move to have illegals be employed as contractors, namely in construction. Most cannot speak English, they refuse to speak English, and worst of all they refuse to associate with the very culture of America. I watched an old Humphrey Bogart movie and one of my 20 something year old Gen Z friends pointed out all the White people in it. So I looked things up and Los Angeles, at time one, was majority White, including the LAPD. Minors, including Blacks and Asians, were forbidden to get real estate anywhere other than South Central Los Angeles, while White folks took up residence in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and areas surrounding them. This person I talked to regarding construction had said they had already illegals working construction for a number of decades. This is one of many reasons why California is a failed state.

  4472. The 1950's was a very long time ago. Those who actually remember it are few and far between. Most of us only know that era thru history books, old archived footage on the internet, and thru lectures. Unlike the people of that time who were mostly sensible, traditional and actually cared about integrity, our generation, as well as our leaders are mostly concerned with satisfying only themselves at the cost of everyone else. Our entire system is rotten to the core, and it's going to take a giant catastrophe across our society for us to actually change for better. Very few changes over the past couple decades have been beneficial for humanity.

If you’re a basement dweller who sits around all day and plays video games while being fat, you are more then likely going to be unhappy. Same goes for people living in bad neighborhoods who can barely pay their bills. Homeless people are often spiritually bankrupt. It takes real willpower and commitment to change not only yourself but also filter all the negativity that’s out there. These are two things that America has short supply of. There are too many kids and too many elderly people who are unhappy.

  4477. Millennials and Zoomers were already born into this. The narrative was already happening before their time. I hold older people responsible for tearing down career ladders and moving away from free speech and more into half truths. Millennials thrive on half truths because they don’t know any better. All the schools and universities told them to follow a certain ideology. And here we are today.

  4485.  @jaredcaldwell4270  This is what we did back in the 90’s. Many families back then couldn’t afford a PC in their home. Those that did usually shared one computer. Your input on GTA V is off. I knew kids that played Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, both of which glorified violence. There were many 8 - 10 years old who got exposed to that. Today however, kids are exposed to scantily clad women on Instagram and other social media sites. What we were exposed back in the 90’s can’t compare with the filth we have now. Also, 24/7 internet access on smartphones have made interpersonal communication almost nonexistent in some cases. In the 90’s you had one desktop computer and slow dial-up internet. That was it.

  4486.  @jaredcaldwell4270  The best ways to get exposed to porn back in the 90's was either Playboy, or one of those porn VHS tapes that your father kept in a cabinet somewhere. Maybe there was some porn on the early internet, but that wouldn't really be around until the early - mid 2000's. We also didn't have smartphones. In fact we had brick phones (Nokia) which were still in usage in the early 2000's. I got my Cingular flip phone in circa 2003. Text messaging was much slower and accessing the web was even worse. So if you wanted to go on MySpace, desktops and laptops were the way to go. If you want your kids to watch cartoons that aren't anime, then expose them to some 80's and 90's shows. You were born in 1997 so maybe you don't know too many of them. Dexter's Laboratory isn't a bad choice. I loved classic Scooby Doo as a kid.

Unfortunately the masses are still being held on a leash thanks to mainstream media like BBC so it’s really the guys with power that control everything. Why is Biden talking about Elon’s connections? Because him and the globalists don’t want to lose power. Twitter has been playing this hush game for far too long. I myself was banned from the site for expressing certain political views. It’s not looking good for the West. A couple years back I thought about moving to a place like Italy for a better quality of life, but I ultimately feel the same problems affecting the UK will hit there too. Japan is perhaps my safest bet, I’ve always embraced their culture and I know a fair bit of the Japanese language. The United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia have all fallen to the same tragedy committed by the global interests. New Zealand is fast on joining this group. Countries like Greece have their own fair share of problems which will prove disastrous for anyone living there for any good length of time.

  4528. Comedians like Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Red Skelton and the like still looked to pop culture for their lines. But it was “clean”, not dirty, as all three men worked in an industry that had very strict guidelines. The Andy Griffith Show was another great show which looked at small town America and was able to draw wholesome entertainment. Stuff like this doesn’t exist anymore, because our industry not only desires cheap thrills (sex, violence, dirty humor, etc) but it also wants to squeeze every last penny out of its properties. Disney is now a propaganda machine. Long gone are the days of Walt wishing to entertain families and children with wholesome shows and films. Star Wars was great, but it’s now to the point where nobody really cares because the quality has gone down the tubes. Andy Griffith, along with the show you mentioned and other ‘60s classics like Bewitched and Green Acre, come from a time now long past us and the values and morals that are mostly absent from American society.

  4540. I've been in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles, they're both pretty much the same as Phoenix. Behind the so called glitz and glamour in both cities is a layer of cold, hard, unforgiving truths. When I visited Hollywood two decades ago I learned it was not at all the glamorous place it is advertised as. It is extremely narcissistic, extremely cold, and actors for the most part are only concerned about fame and money. Las Vegas likewise is only concerned about the money and glamour. Massive casinos wanting you to spend your life savings. Women who just want your $$$$$. Businessmen who only want your money. Frank Sinatra was a perfect embodiment of bad American values. Rugged individualism, connections to the mob, quick to anger, quick to judge anything that doesn't go his way, often indifferent and cold to those who weren't in his social circle. Sad that the average person has adopted his values.

Stuff that was never popular but played on certain radio stations. He said the talent was marvelous. Because the music artists never wanted to get famous, or have the media on them, they never gained more recognition than the listeners who listened to them all those years ago. Modern mainstream music is garbage. I don’t listen to garbage music on smartphone apps either because it’s whatever I can stick at the wall to see if it sounds remotely good. But it’s not just music, it’s everything else. That’s how we got MrBeast, a talentless content creator with over 300 million subscribers with all the money he could ever dream of. But he is absolutely clueless on how to be self sufficient.

If you want to see how we went from a prosperous country that was patriarchal to a dystopian society of incompetent workers, look at Detroit.

Poor parenting and leadership leads to more people like the guy on ESPN.

Even as a kid, I can remember California in the latter half of the 90's being a much better place. The schools, most especially in California, now teach kids to be activists.

  4619.  @BobbyJetty1502  It's worse when you consider that smartphones, internet and feminist politics have almost completely ruined women. When women reach 40 years old they are used up, have an attitude, and likely have a body count. The reason women might have been easier in times past was we didn't have as much distractions. Before computers and internet, people have to interact in person. Social media is no substitute for the real thing.

I’m sure Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh look up to him, even in death. Neocons took over America in the 1980’s and ever since then there’s been a continuous division on the right. Trad cons, as people like Barry Goldwater might have been, don’t have a real representative, and haven’t for a very long time.

When my dad was growing up in the early 1960's, California was majority Republican, with only San Francisco, Los Angeles and a few other places being Democrat. Unfortunately the freaks run California now. As someone who is moreso a centrist, leaning slightly to the right, I'm sad with what's become of the state.

  4661. California is a complete trash fire at this point. I miss the 80’s and 90’s so much. Was very lucky to experience California in that era. The politicians ruined it. I remember when San Francisco was an attractive, beautiful city in 1987 - 1989. Today it’s where leftists go to spout nonsense, where convenience stores have chain and lock so soap, deodorant doesn’t get stolen by thieves. It’s also a city where it’s not really considered stealing if the goods don’t accumulate to $1000 worth of stolen merchandise. And the stupid California Democrats will still blame Republicans and you know who for all the troubles. If anything good comes out of California in 2025, consider it luck of the draw.

Contrary to what some people think, there have always been couples in previous generations that did not have kids. However, they didn’t brag about that fact. Something else is going on. What’s sad is I have seen many young people, and even older people, who are so self centered it isn’t even funny. And it doesn’t matter if they are parents or not, because I have seen both. Dinks to me are at the bottom of the totem pole.

  4667.  @umiluv  This is ultimately the problem with streaming services. I’m responding to a two year old comment, but since this podcast was uploaded, the corporate overlords have put disclaimers on old British shows from the 70’s - 90’s, and on movies like Goodfellas. Much of which was aimed at the adults, not children who just stumbled upon them on TV. In short, digital content can be altered and changed, as I noticed when a friend of mine watched Anger Management on Prime Video. Keep your DVD/Blu-Ray hard copies. The cultural elites can’t alter physical copies, particularly older DVD releases.

  4680.  @mikespencer9913  One piece of history I learned is that CBS forbid certain TV shows that were filmed in color to not be broadcast in color until around 1965 - 1966. Back then poor families had to settle with older B&W TV sets, while middle class and rich people were able to get then pristine color TV sets. Must of been a big deal for you to see Andy Griffith and Star Trek on color for the first time.

  4727. The schools didn't start with participation awards until a bit after when you started entering high school and college. That was right when school administrators started taking discipline out of schools so they wouldn't get angry parents mad at them for punishing their children. The poor education system in America as far as the K thru 12th grade system is concerned has really done a number on the kids. We have a number of good colleges and universities, but you need to pay a lot of money towards them or prepare to be dwelling in student debt.

  4730.  @PaIaeoCIive1684 Yep. They teach these kids about sex education when they haven’t even hit puberty. They have been hit with ideological beliefs that they can’t even begin to understand. Because they’re kids. Kids in the 80’s and 90’s were allowed to be kids. Kids today are forced to listen to angry blue haired feminists talk about homosexuality and sex wardrobes.

  4731. The 1980’s WWF with Hulk Hogan, Big John Studd, Andre the Giant and so forth was the perfect blend of theatrics and actual wrestling. My dad showed me old vintage matches of 1970’s WWF when Captain Lou Albano was “young” and it was like looking at a different planet. There were no real theatrics except the wrestlers boasting. It was real wrestling, with matches that would go on for several minutes. The 1990’s WWF was when the theatrics overcame the wrestling. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were both promoted to be cartoon characters, with wacky gimmicks that would have been unthinkable in 1970’s and early 1980’s WWF wrestling. I remember my dad back in the 1990’s trying to watch a few Attitude Era wrestling matches and he just shrugged his shoulders and changed the channel. He absolutely despised it.

I live not far from Portland, Oregon, and it is literally a madhouse. Bums everywhere, tent encampments in places that would be deemed unthinkable a few short years ago, the list goes on. Some of those squatters are not stupid, they simply became victim of the times and the drug epidemic. I work a job where I regularly help younger people with life tips. I want them to succeed and set high standards for the next generation to follow. Unfortunately the system we’re living under is making it very difficult. These Zoomer kids have no real leader either. Joe Biden is not the future. And while Ukraine is suffering right now, we are not genuinely putting America first. We can’t take care of our own people here.

In my late 30s now and I realized long ago I’ll never have the benefits my Baby Boomer parents had. Some friends I’ve known since high school are just now beginning to secure their homes. The 2008 financial crisis set them back, all while they were swamped by college debt. We have to make the best of what we have and hope things turn around. I left California primarily because it was too expensive and I was sick of the extreme politics that has largely manifested there.

  4765.  @ABTfeathers  If you grew up in the 80’s you are at least in your 40’s. So you’ve seen a lot happen over the decades. Ultimately I think this ideology started a few decades ago, but it was very subtle. It was only in the last decade that things have accelerated. When Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, she became a beacon for these woke to start instilling these values into young children.

The ‘orange man’ triggered the left wing media by constantly talking about him. Anyone conservative or even centrist was interrupted by radical leftists in talk shows. If you consume politics and media 24/7, you are going to be miserable. You have to look out for yourself and improve thyself.

  4773. Most jobs don't give you opportunities to move forward. Careers do. The Dot Com Crash and 9/11 signaled the end of the 'Baby Boomer' economy of the 1980s and 1990s, but we have reached a new low that none of us could of ever imagined. We're not raising our kids for a bright future. We are destroying them.

As long as their agendas get what they want, they will create chaos solely for attention and move when the next trend pops up. It is why watching old films and shows from the 80's and 90's is such a breath of fresh air, including SG1, which released back in 1997. Still a great series. Were that made today there would be far more political propaganda shoved in along with gender swapping.

  4781. @bushveldkid7640 I just picked up a book Sowell himself recommended, titled Life at the Bottom, about an English doctor who treats patients who live in poverty stricken areas. Like America, these people are/were poorly educated, but were under a system that granted them free stuff. So like with many African Americans, these young white English kids were doomed from the start. This is a big reason why we no longer have youth subcultures. Things like Punk, 1950’s Rock n Roll, the British Invasion of the 1960’s, Grunge, Emo, the list goes on. The kids are becoming more stupid and indoctrinated and it’s clear our education system just isn’t working. One of my friends in his 30s tells me some junior high school kids can’t even read clocks, even normal clocks that don’t have Roman numerals. Most kids can’t write any cursive, nor do they know arithmetic.

  4794.  @liamsandal6360  You're misinterpreting what I'm saying here. I never said all Boomers are bad, in fact I have some Boomers in my life who are good people. And I'm not referring to the 35 - 40 year old dude acting like a Boomer, which is where the 'Ok Boomer' thing gets thrown about. I'm talking about the generation born between 1946 and 1964, who inherited from their Greatest Generation/Silent Generation parents and squandered the wealth for themselves. Again, I'm not trying to blanket Boomers by saying all of them were bad. That was the doing of generations of wealth and power being corrupt and without decent morals. My Millennial brethren is forced to work harder and for longer to obtain the same assets the Boomers did when they were my age. That's a fact of life and we fully understand that life is not fair. The least that older people, especially the guys before Gen Xers, can and probably should do is acknowledge that they're sorry that they put younger people into this mess. You have a good niece and nephew. So do I, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. The ruling elites will always take what they want for themselves. The Baby Boomers who were a part of them have done much to damage America, and we are heading towards another economic recession. Because the COVID-19 pandemic apparently wasn't enough.

  4800. Walt was also a Republican, and loved his home of California. In his era, the state was majority Republican. Ronald Reagan and John Wayne were both beloved actors who both believed in the wholesome American culture. Then Governor Earl Warren was also Republican. So was future president Richard Nixon, who was also from California. The state is now a haven for leftism and the Disney company is no exception. Walt Disney himself would never get his foot in the door, neither would classic actors like John Wayne. Hollywood now promotes degeneracy, basically everything that Walt was against.

They also pay some of the highest electric bills in the entire country, and drug use, like every other liberal city, is rampant.

Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and others are rotten to the core, but you wouldn’t know that without doing research. Another problem is they are backed by some of the best lawyers and the government, so it’s practically impossible for the average person to fight against them.

They hold high seats in education as well as our government. For us Millennials, we are hopelessly screwed unless we come up with a viable alternative or a new system that helps ensure our futures will better. Zoomers have practically nothing. No role models, no career progression, no money to pay for any home or residence. It’s insane. We need good figures, especially strong male figures who can guide young people and encourage them to pursue their careers and dreams. But we are not doing that. Our entire system is rotten, and the elites just don’t care.

  4860.  @1gregmoreira  Some of my friends are thinking about getting a local men’s group together. It won’t be for talking about things but rather do things like community baseball, play one on one basketball, watch some stuff together, and do other activities like fishing. All things that men USED to be able to do, without supervision or being recorded. The problem was giving women leadership positions. That’s why the video game industry sucks. That’s why the internet sucks. That’s why internet browsers like Firefox can no longer be given the freedom and free range that it used to. Getting off the internet and doing things physically with a group is far more productive.

When Churchill had to defend his entire country and motivate his people during WW2, the British held drastic influence throughout the world. Hong Kong, India, the list goes on. As a history major I looked at old vintage films from the 1940s on London. It looked just gorgeous. Modern architecture is a joke.

  4896. Years ago we had some of the most capable pilots on the planet. The vast majority were White men who appreciated aviation. They took pride in their service and were good pilots who flew around airliners to take passengers to their destination. Like everything else in this postmodern culture, the puppet masters decided that getting capable white men for the job is racist. So they made diversity initiatives. The result? More flights have been delayed. There has been more confusion, more disgruntled airline passengers. Flights often do not make their destination in time. All while airline tickets continue to increase, while actual service is nowhere near as good as it was years and decades ago. They pushed for diversity hires, and we are seeing the results.

  4897. Not just white men, any and all Christians, including white Christian women. We have seen how Hollywood has taken vintage classics like Josie & the PCats (can’t say the actual name) from half a century ago and remade them by swapping the race. Instead of a white woman of possible English/Scottish ancestry or Scandinavian ancestry, it’s a brown/black woman of African/Nigerian or Hispanic ancestry. Add this up, and it becomes clear this propaganda machine will eventually segregate and erase white people. Just like Germany did with the Js in WW2 (again, cannot state the name).

A good portion of us were raised by White Boomers. There's no denying this. Now they sit at home with white and grey hair under retirement, collecting their pay while we grind out two jobs. At 36 I never felt more resentment towards the Boomers than now. The fact of life is the world we were brought up for no longer exists. The New Deal society that their parents built was done away with decades ago, before we even existed. Now we face tough times as my wages aren't even enough to pay for the tiny place I live in. While I eat on Top Ramen and other cheap foods to save money.

  4905.  @pcno2832  The Hays Code was lifted in 1968. What came immediately after were rated X movies, movies that glorified violence, movies that dug into same gender relationships, etc etc. Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 film The Wild Bunch, while rather tame by today’s standards, was highly controversial in that it was a revisionist western with a focus on violence. Characters also were shown without clothes, something the Hays Code was vehemently against. Almost no rated X movie from the late 60’s and 70’s is remembered today. The 1970’s was a period of cult films, some of which are remembered, but many utterly forgotten and better left in the dust.

As a 36 year old Millennial I still don’t have the financial assets my dad obtained when he was 25. Reagan was a puppet whose policies have done long term damage to America, and to an extent the western world.

The 1980's to early 2000's is a fair compromise. More specifically the late 1990's. The tech industry hadn't yet turned into a corporate pit. People of all diversity types could get jobs and be able to afford housing. The 1950's were ideal for Ozzie, the family man and Hollywood star who basically put the nuclear family on the map as far as the white man was concerned. Same goes for Beaver's dad in Leave it To Beaver. They experienced the horrors of the Great Depression and the subsequent World War. My granddad served in the Korean War, then made good money working at a slaughterhouse in the 50's. Raised four kids. The good old days never existed. People are just blind to the splendors that Old Hollywood gave them.

  4969. Los Angeles has always sucked. You guys need to read up more on Hollywood and how they’ve always handled their actors. Read up on the endless amounts of reality shows that come from Los Angeles. It’s a glamorous place on the very surface, but is corroded with con men, criminals, gang members, worthless celebrities, and a cancel culture hell bent on silencing anyone they don’t like. And I’m not delusional enough to think Hollywood in the 1930s/1940s was some wonderful place to escape to during the Great Depression. Legendary performers like Judy Garland (Dorothy in the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz) were abused by the studio system. Others like Elizabeth Taylor also suffered. Nowadays, Los Angeles does a fine job in cultivating the “woke” narrative. We need more diversity in our entertainment. We need to appeal to China with our films. It’s a rotten disgusting place. I can’t blame anybody for leaving LA.

Prior to her run on I Love Lucy, she struggled her way to the top thru the old Hollywood studio system, often cast in numerous B movies and she did a lot of radio work with notable stars such as Bob Hope. What you're seeing is a generation of young women who never really struggled in their lives and are thus spoiled and arrogant. These young women in 'Girl Math' are the result of a failing education system, and with how easy it is to post BS on social media, this is just another trend that blew up overnight.

What needs to be addressed is how there are forces at work aiming to push you and every honest citizen out of opportunities. That’s the problem. You can change your life like I have done, but decisions that dictate how society functions should not be ignored. The OP misses that completely. There are simply no third places for many people to hang out anymore. That goes for older people as well as young people which is what this video focuses on.

Some of my friends have gotten this and they regret making their opinions on Twitter.

Then the movie proceeds to the Vietnam War where the main character is fighting for his country, only to wonder ‘why are we doing this’. There was a mandatory military draft that ended in the 1970’s. The military was to teach young soldiers how to be resilient and how to overcome challenges; even long after they served their duty. Somewhere we lost the plot, and now we have three adult generations with a host of mental health problems.

  5094. I was in my twenties a decade ago. We already had few opportunities. Now we are passing that bill even higher to Gen Zs, who might as well be all nihilistic and demoralized with how bad things have got. The Greatest Generation set up the system for peace and prosperity. The Silent Generation added and contributed to that system. The Baby Boomers took what both the World War 2 and SIlent Generations gave and squandered it. The bill was first handed to Gen Xers, then to Millennials 10 - 20 years later. Now the bill is on Gen Zs, and I can tell you right now, it's not looking good with them at this point. Millennials and Gen Zs have a right to be angry. Gen X in contrast has mostly sat on the sidelines watching the chaos ensue, wondering if they should jump in or just walk away from it all.

The social environment in those generations encouraged those kids to grow, move forward and become professionals or tradesmen. Today, most Millennials and Gen Z are stuck in a perpetual cycle where the welfare state grants them enough to live by. But they cannot break out of the cycle, so they never accomplish anything or start new families. The Left has done this for decades.

  5103.  @peterbelanger4094  Well I mean, you had Kurt Cobain and Tupac Shakur. Both Gen Xers who already had a pretty bleak outlook on life, and this was back in the 1990s. Gen X seemed to be against the George Bush Sr era Neo-Conservatism, while they were regarded as a generation that was predicted to be a disappointment. TIME Magazine in the early 1990s even did an article on Generation X, giving them a bad reputation. But really, I think you guys were practically dumped on by the Boomers. Everybody after the Boomers has had their purchasing power reduced significantly. Zoomers for the most part cannot find a decent apartment or condo to save their own lives right now, because of the economy we live under. Yet a good number of them I've talked to personally and befriended are drug addicts. Millennials are practically seen as Boomers if they so much as talk nostalgia or say something that younger people don't agree with. They were already messed up by the time the 2008 Financial Crisis hit. It was hard to find good paying jobs, and the whole Occupy Wall Street thing dissipated. Things are not looking well for us.

Tradition is something that the far left wants to destroy, and you can see how it has affected cities like San Francisco, Chicago, London among many others. These days I consider the holidays to just be sheer commercialism pushed by the corporate elite, who also happen to be members of the far left. I'm just fed up with it.

  5139. It's simple, because Romania was under the brunt of the Soviet Union for decades before it finally collapsed in 1991. Now the roles have reversed. Where Romania was once a communist hellscape, it is now a much more Democratic run country where people care for communities and want the citizens to have a decent quality of life. Where the UK was once a place of culture and decent living during the 1950s - 1980s, it is now a hellscape where third world inhabitants are flocking in droves who don't care for British traditions, let alone the history of Great Britain. Best of luck to you in your new country. The UK is utterly lost at this point.

I'm not delusional enough to think that everything that was around during The Sound of Music was vastly superior to everything we have now. It still remains one of my all time favorite musical films. Julie Andrews was just brilliant. A legendary actress with a very rewarding, fulfilling career. But.... The Sound of Music was released in 1965, just when America was getting involved with the Vietnam War, and Malcolm X was tragically assassinated. It was a great distraction from the worries of the world. My point is, there have always been great conflicting events in human history. Just like we have right now with LGBTQ rights and the Ukraine War. Let these people talk their nonsense, because you're never going to convince them that their way of thinking is wrong.

  5178. Millennials were the first to be infected. As teens they were exposed to social media like MySpace, and all the dumb trends and fads that came with that. Now 20 years later, Millennials to an extent still behave and act like children. All Zoomers have done is follow in the footsteps of what Millennials started. The emojis. The social trends. The abuse of the Like button. Millennials popularized all of that. The younger generations are more introverted and therefore feel more comfortable talking behind a computer screen. As opposed to doing interpersonal communication as you Baby Boomers and Gen Xers had to do growing up because technology didn’t allow you easy access to the internet.

  5184.  @deltacharlieecho4732  The reason is simple. Because we allowed the government and these women the reins without so much as trying to put them in their place. That's why so many people say western society in the 1950s and early 1960s was better because there was a patriarchy system in place. The few men who had office jobs usually had a female secretary at their side. The women were never to give orders, the men who held the logic did that job. Since the mid to late 1960s we have seen an increasing shift towards irresponsible women. Now you're seeing the decline of western white men as society is now importing people from less off nations who don't care for tradition, much less family. Just look at the tech industry for example. Countless jobs are run by women and none of them are doing a good job. They all parrot the same talking points and the poindexters have been forced out in many places. Were it not for the trades and the physically demanding jobs that only men can do, society would of collapsed already.

I don’t respect Frank for his dealings with the mob or that he was a hothead behind the scenes, but he was a professional performer who didn’t give up and strived to improve himself. Many still know his music and much like Louis Armstrong, his songs are timeless. TGG was made up of hard working men and women, who cared about family, who were traditional, who wanted a future for their children. Gen Z and much of the Millennial generation are the completely antithesis of what TGG fought for and stood for.

  5201. @ NYC improved in the late 1990’s, early 2000’s, largely due to a Republican mayor who aimed to clean up trash. Crime rates fell during this period. My dad told me NYC in the 1970’s and 1980’s was a crime haven. NYC still had major issues in the early 2000’s, the big difference is it was a different era. Now it’s suffering because of terrible policies. You can have a small town of 10,000 people be awful, because the city council does nothing to improve anything. You can have small cities be great because there is an emphasis on the average person. It doesn’t matter if it’s NYC, LA, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Seattle, Austin or Atlanta. There’s going to be lots of problems no matter what the people in charge do. If you live in a nice small town, city or countryside, you should be thankful.

I have been in personal servers on Discord with a bunch of 14 - 18 year old kids, and it is truly horrifying to hear what they think about their lives and their future. Their self esteem is so horrible it is utterly amazing how they live on a day by day basis. I am convinced they were all fed lies, because of what feminism has done and is continuing to do. Being a man, it has also negatively affected a lot of the males. I tend to feel that many of my peers in their 30s are weak, because they were fed the lies and feel they are helpless in improving their own self esteem. Social media was a mistake. I was glad I grew up in the 1990s before the internet became mainstream. Being bullied when you're 10 - 12 years old on the internet, I can't even think about how that must feel for them. There is so much truth to this comment. Thank You for writing it.

  5214. The problem is apparent with Millennials but it started long before them. All the feminist politics of the late 1960’s and 1970’s served was to break off from the nuclear family and let women become independent. This was further enforced in the 1990’s. Actresses like Jennifer Aniston were never married and never had kids, so she is part of the problem that started long before her. Millennials experienced their Boomer parents divorce in droves and were brainwashed by social media. MySpace just reinforced the feminist rhetoric into young women.

Up thru the 1970’s, flying an airline was seen as more luxurious, and passengers were treated to entertainment such as piano performances and other venues. Airline flying in 2023 is like being in a crowded subway in NYC, full of unruly, ugly people who are passive aggressive.

  5232. That's because life was more balanced in decades past. Regardless of what you or others think about the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and so forth, those eras were filled with more humanity. Technology wasn't an issue because most people weren't aware of it and the ones that were had a passion for it. Case in point, 80's and 90's computer nerds. They worked in computers because they had a passion for it. They were not forced by someone's hand, or that there was a lot of money to be made. They did it anyway, because it was a hobby and a passion project. How many of you have spent more than 50 percent of your time on a screen? I remember when most people only used the TV for a screen. Some people didn't have a TV because of their religious views and they felt it was a 'Dumb Box'. We had one computer when I was growing up in the late 80's to early - mid 90's, largely because my dad had a genuine interest and he worked a job where he was with a group of tech people. Nothing was connected 24/7. Some people had to pay by minute just to access the internet. Now we have fiber internet, everyone is connected, and we are miserable.

  5236. The fact of the matter is every generation aspires to do just what you're saying, just in a different style. Hippies called out the World War 2 generation for being too old fashioned. Gen X bashed the Baby Boomers and Silent generations, creating their own styles of music and rebelling against the norm. Zoomer kids are trying to invoke change thru technology. But right now your only shining beacon of light is Greta Thunberg, who is only 18 years old. If she wants to truly set an example, then she needs to earn her keep and stop relying on older people to give her advice all the time. Nothing is going to change until the Baby Boomer generation finally dies out and the Millennials and Zoomer kids can actually work to achieve things. Not sitting around in isolation all fucking day while screaming to hell and back on Twitter and TikTok. That accomplishes nothing. It would also be appreciated if you kids didn't idolize Kylie Jenner so much. Hopefully you kids will learn, grow, mature and have a better understanding of the world once your generation reaches the age of 30.

  5241. They cannot change the past, so instead they change the history books and warp the narrative. While Judy Garland was abused by the studio system and was harassed by studio executives, she deserves credit for being an exceptional performer. Most people don’t know she had a successful run on Broadway, and her powerful singing voice attracted audiences of all kinds. No amount of woke Hollywood or cringe leftism will ever change that. Canceling a woman who has been dead for over 50 years is sinking to an all time low.

  5243.  @edwardmorris3453  Some people forget the 1960s was also a time of radical change. The Hippies were dominant. Lyndon Johnson was making changes to the educational system America had in place. Vietnam War was raging. Go back 50 years and you will find old WW2 conservatives who were disgusted with what the Hippies did and how American culture had an influence on the youth during the late 1960s and 1970s. Those Hippies who are now old men in their 70s are the ones pulling the strings. There was an educational system put in place when Jimmy Carter was president, and it was already in motion during the Ronald Reagan administration. This is nothing new. This has been decades of decline, that generations of people since at least the Hippies have contributed towards. That is the last three or four generations like you said. I, for one, am happy that Zoomers, despite being young are beginning to speak out against the corruption. We have reached the point where grown adults don't know essential life skills, how to be a parent, or how to pass their values to the next generation. Gen Alpha is certainly off to a grand start with little kids already been wrapped on electronic devices. I wonder how long it will be before man and woman will no longer be necessary to create children.

  5245.  @edwardmorris3453  Boomers ruined a lot of things. But you need to keep in mind that the powers that were when Boomers were young were Greatest Generation men. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan did more harm than they did good. The Boomers voting policies tore away the values the Greatest Generation men fought hard to earn. Zoomers I largely despise, but they are here to stay and thus we must learn to live with them. As the cycle goes, hard times create strong men. Good times create weak men. Right now we are in the phase of ‘weak men create hard times’. Our institutions and our societies are corrupt. Millennials are doing a poor job at addressing many of the issues going on and this is one aspect that Zoomers are faring much better towards. Millennials in general are weak, raised by Boomers who themselves are largely selfish and self centered.

  5255.  @joshuakhaos4451  Your generation was also ruined by social media, which ties into the modern feminism. Let’s face it. You’re not going to get the kinds of marriages men got back in the 1950s - 1980s anymore. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll find a delightful young woman willing to settle down with you. But how will you know whether or not she’s cheating on you? How will you know whether she is actually texting her friends ‘I’d rather be with some other guy other than you’? I’m 36. And I’ve reached the point that I’ve given up. I’m not living with a modern feminist, because they have to a degree, brainwashed the Millennial generation.

  5263.  @Particle_Ghost  I'm not exactly sure where you're getting your info from considering that the 1970's was considered a 'low' point in Hollywood, because a lot of people weren't going to the theaters. If you're going to discuss TV shows from Hollywood like All in the Family and Sanford & Son then that really doesn't count since those were viewed at home. All you needed was a dial TV set and a good reception signal. Today the theaters are empty, and the movies aren't selling.

  5270.  @nathanperquin9910  Politics has always been in entertainment. Plenty of vintage Hollywood classics from the 1930s - 1950s that dealt with politic themes. I would argue Sunset Boulevard (1950) was in many ways political, because it dealt with a has been silent film star trying to regain her former glory (played by Gloria Swanson) while also dealing with the Hollywood politics of the era. The difference was the old films and shows did them in a way where you could still be delightfully entertained, and you can still forget the actual politics of day to day life. This is not the case with modern entertainment. The people in charge have put woke minded people running the show and any sort of dissent is met with the harshest punishment. It has affected everything from stand up comedy to western comic books, and it's sickening.

  5282. McDonalds is a laughing stock at this point. They took away the iconic characters like Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar and so forth. They took away comfortable booths. They took away the classic restaurant design and replaced it with those ugly square, brick buildings with a bunch of glass windows. They hire foreigners who barely speak English, have a bunch of kiosks that don't work. Food tastes like plastic, not at all like it was back in the 1990's. Playplaces are gone. Fun distractions like those Nintendo 64 games are gone. Essentially McD's has gone from being a welcoming fast food place for kids and family, to now being up front with the propaganda and getting involved in affairs they shouldn't be getting their hands into.

Today it only takes a spark to get social media up in arms, as they always do when a tragedy like this bridge collapse happens.

  5297. Thomas Sowell is saying the same thing. By the 1990’s, black males didn’t have a good father figure in the home.

Sadly for many black males, they had to get their tutoring and mentoring from street gangs. Tupac Shakur was a prime example.

Today, all I hear is BLM chanting from all the black players in the NBA. Lebron James finally made me quit watching. Everywhere he goes, he is a media circus. And I don’t care that he is the #1 all time player in scoring points. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played his career without griping on social media and opening his mouth while spewing arrogance and ignorance.

  5350.  @SirFailsalot91  I was reading Harry Potter books back in the late 1990s. I don't consider myself a fanboy or a massive fan of the franchise, but I can acknowledge how it has impacted a generation of kids. Myself included. Unfortunately we live in an era where fandoms have really gone off the deep end. I absolutely detest Marvel fanboys and the utter nonsense that surrounds MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) is nothing short of tragic. If you said anything like you said regarding Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings 20 years ago, people would of laughed at you. But now we're taking this stuff seriously because anything that goes mainstream is bound to be affected by SJWs and corporate influences. They care for nothing more than to change these respective franchises so that they can offer political propaganda. Take a look at what Amazon has done to Lord of the Rings. A trillion dollar company who is helping make the average person's life worse. Pretty soon everything we loved and held dear is going to be inverted to help spread the "message".

This goes back to 1995 - 1996. He wasn’t the only one, other rappers also engaged with this. I also know that Los Angeles in the early 90’s not only had black neighborhoods that openly despised Whites, Hollywood was also pushing out White male actors in place of Blacks and self entitled feminist women. Hispanics were already pushing out Whites in many jobs 30 years ago. It’s not new, it’s been going on for a number of decades at this point.

This was some time after IMDB deliberately removed their forums. I also remember writing comments on select Amazon reviews, which was also taken away from us. The company is trash. I mostly buy from local retailers and specialty brand websites for things like electronics.

  5364. The American movie industry has been declining since the 1990s at least. Both Alien: Covenant and The Predator were dominated by morons. Millennials (1981 - 1996) who are man childs and whom grew up in a time of broken homes and extreme satire. You saw the shit in this very YouTube video we're commenting on. These are the types of people making movies now. So it's no surprise that The Predator was a complete crap show. I rewatched a portion of the old Star Trek (1960s) television and all the Star Wars Trilogy (1977 - 1983) not too long ago. It was really amazing what those filmmakers and television crew were able to produce back then, with far more primitive technology at their disposal. Nowadays our technology is a thousand times more powerful, but innovation and creativity are at an all time low. These modern filmmakers don't know how to make good films. Hollywood is complete trash now. Full of social rejects, Soy Boy Men, and trend chasing morons who try to cash in on the hottest new thing. Martin Scorsese was right. These superhero movies are not cinema. They're piles of trash that were already audience tested, tasted and sniffed for consumption.

It's even worse now because the kids now have to contend with LGB propaganda garbage, which they do not understand because they are too young. A family I knew personally had to pull their teenage girl out of highschool in Oregon because she was forced to take gender studies during after school hours, which was literally covered up by the faculty. After seeing the various fight videos and other nonsense on X (formally Twitter) going on in these highschools, it's best these kids get homeschooled anyway.

  5383. The problem is these cities have no idea what farming communities and rural areas are like. These blue leftists all think these small towns are full of hicks. They hate traditional white people. In times past there used to be more of a balance, but nowadays it’s simply partisan politics that are occupied by extremists. Many of these small towns and rural areas don’t have as many ‘rednecks’ and uneducated people as these city dwellers think. East Washington still makes more money than those in Idaho, but they are hampered by blue policies.

  5385.  @Neuman357  This is why I respect the Greatest Generation. Sadly they are gone from this world, with their influence quickly draining from our consciousness. Boomers, in contrast, were raised in a time of great prosperity, and much of their narcissism and arrogance can be traced back to Post War America. Their parents experienced the Roaring Twenties (a time of severe crime and most cities were literally dangerous), the Great Depression (which made the unemployment rate go up to over 20 percent, millions of people lost their money, their jobs and homes) and World War II (Americans were called into battle following Pearl Harbor, were sent to western Europe and the Pacific to serve their duty).

  5397. @ Yes, that does happen, but often times it's just stuff that might be regarded as too offensive, or is no longer relevant to the current times. There are a number of vintage British shows from the 1970s to the 1990s that now have warning disclaimers on them, saying the language and slang can be highly offensive to modern audiences. I suppose All in the Family and Sanford & Son (which was an American adaptation of the UK show Steptoe & Son) now have disclaimers on them because the punchlines and jokes come from the 1970's, a time when racial comedy was popular. Thus, the material according to these corporations must be changed lest there be outrage on social media. Again, these were products of their time.

  5399.  @robbyrdog  Just look at who’s running our government. All of them Baby Boomers. Silent Gen may have some old farts around, and in retrospect they aren’t much better either. Every other Boomer is Homer Simpson. Grew up a good life. Dating a girl (Marge Simpson) in the 1970’s, got married. At 35, Homer works at a nuclear power plant making good wages, with boss and owner being Burns. Family is dysfunctional, but many Boomer families were the same. Get the money, but don’t care for the children, in this case Bart and Lisa Simpson.

  5400.  @albertinsinger7443  It’s not just countries. Look at some of the Red states and counties in America. They are hard on things like cannabis, and wages are lower on average. But they’re not pricing people out of existence quite as bad as the blue states and counties. I live in a Red county and everybody here is tired of blue cities and governors determining everything for us. Blue is now inherently communist. The blues from 30 years ago either became leftists, or moved to the Right. “You will own nothing and be happy” is exactly what’s going on here. Look up the man who coined that phrase. Him and his organization are pure evil.

  5401. MJ was shot up the ladder of stardom almost the same way Britney did, only decades earlier. I have long said that Hollywood and much of the show business world in the West is dirty, rotten and scummy. I remember over 20 years ago seeing interviews with MJ and he looked honestly completely lost. He seemed like he had absolutely no idea how to blend in with regular people out in the real world, and do daily tasks that most of us are accustomed to. He was already stuck in a bubble. Michael Jackson didn't have a proper childhood, and neither did Britney Spears. While they grew up in different eras and different families, they were both thrown in the spotlight before they even knew what was going on. This is why many child stars, including Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin and Diff'rent Strokes star Gary Coleman, end up having serious mental problems later in life.

They control our institutions. They control our society. They control our sense of direction. Most of this crap today traces back to the Hippies and the Boomers. Millennials and now Zoomers are getting fed up. Boomers have hogged the spotlight for far too long now.

We had all Tom as our friend. But there was a lot of passion with MySpace. I discovered a lot of up and coming music artists on MySpace that I still appreciate to this day. The technology was new, but unfortunately, social media has completely subverted my entire generation, and you can see the results in how we treat others and look at ourselves. Narcissism is basically a common trait with us. And tragically you already see this happening with the Zoomer generation, which I assume is where your children lie in.

What I care about is the products he actually made. I just finished watching The Searchers (1956), and it is a great classic that delves into some issues with logic. There’s plenty of old media and not so old media (1980s to 2000s) that is both worth your time. The last 10 - 15 years have been a real decline. Sad that it’s happened the way it did.

James Bond is probably the longest running movie franchise, but after Goldeneye in the mid 1990s I stopped caring about the newer movies. Found them all too childish with mediocre plot lines.

To me it just sounds like you’re discrediting this old woman’s experience, and if she’s listening to the comments here, I’m sure she still remembers what happened during the 1965 Watts riots. They were horrible, I’m sure, just like the 1967 Detroit riots that Thomas Sowell points out here. We shouldn’t dwell on the past, but that doesn’t mean leaving out history. Our current leaders seem fit to make us forget what happened, and what we had to deal with during the COVID pandemic. Ultimately we are products of our time, and it is up to us to determine how we should deal with atrocities that pertain with our present day.

That’s not to say women can’t have children at these ages but there is a greater risk of health problems when they decide to have birth when they hit middle age.

It’s not always that, it’s also to do with the period children were brought up in. Baby Boomers came up in the Post War Era when America experienced large amounts of children, hence the name. Gen X came after the birth pill was introduced. They are referred to as the MTV generation, for the impact they had on 1980’s era youth and pop culture.

Keep in mind the older Millennials born in the early - mid 1980’s had different upbringings as opposed to younger Millennials born in the 90’s. 90’s born Millennials associate more with Zoomers than 80’s born Millennials do. The first Millennials (often called Xennials) can relate to Gen Xers, like a little brother looking up to big brother.

  5508. Millennials were the first to be exposed to the internet from childhood. Truthfully, Generation X, the one whose inhabitants were born from 1965 to 1980, were the last generation to grow up in an analog world. If you had a computer back in the 1980s and early 1990s, that was considered a luxury. Old internet also required some brains and knowledge to probably set up, which filtered a lot of idiots.

  5528.  @tonyhudson8235  Maybe you're an overly sensitive individual. I was born autistic, was diagnosed with autism back in the early 1990s, and went through school while being bullied consistently and being told I'm a weirdo and I don't fit in. I experienced this from 1st - 2nd grade all the way up thru high school. At a young age I was an outcast, and I suffered from Asberger's Syndrome which was indicated by me not looking people in the eye. It made me very uncomfortable. I was a loner in my teen years, which drove me to play video games and go on the "old" internet. But here I am 20 years later, and I am long past the point of having random people, especially ones on the internet, tell me what I should and shouldn't do and that my way of thinking is wrong. Could be that I'm selfish. But I don't care. This "acceptance" crap has brainwashed two generations of people. If this stuff happening today happened 20 years ago, you can surely bet that I would of been a brainwashed, LGBTQ minded individual. What happened to personal responsibility? What happened to critical thinking? What happened to self sufficiency? Seems that these far leftists and LGBTQ groups all operate in a think tank. They can't think independently, much less come up with ideas on their own and they need to be accepted by others in order to move forward. The internet today is like the five year old child crying to mommy that she can't get her chocolate chip cookies.

  5529.  @tonyhudson8235  I don't know where you got this from, but you hold a rather extreme view of it. Being put in an asylum for having opinions and societal views is ridiculous. This of course may of been the norm if you grew up in The Soviet Union, or one of the Eastern European countries that were on the right side of the Iron Curtain. I live and grew up in the United States. Unless you were out making threats that could potentially hurt the lives of others, or you were making accusations towards tearing down the Constitution and other important pieces of Democracy, you were pretty much okay to speak your piece. Far leftists seem to toss out history, but some of them wouldn't mind repeating events like the Holocaust, something that more people need to learn about.

  5530.  @tonyhudson8235  I keep bringing them up because they are fueling this obsession with mental illness, and capitalizing on people who suffer from mental illness. I stopped giving a shit what others think. I care about people in my family, my friends, the co-workers I work with, my bosses, and that's it. You start caring too much and people will take advantage of you. I'm not making an attack on you, rather I think you're a very sensitive person who feels the need to be defensive. You completely skipped over entire portions of what I was making out to you and here you are claiming I'm painting you as wrong. I agree with your stance and I think it's bad to paint the abnormal as normal. Being abnormal is the reason why I was bullied through school. And I had to learn to cope, which was a rough lesson to be had but I had to do it. Also I feel the asylums you're referring to refer back to a time when my parents are kids. I grew up in the late 80's and early - late 90's, long after asylums were done away with thanks to Ronald Reagan and others who decided they should go. I'm not talking about the 1950s - 1970s in regards to asylums.

The UAE is a place for progressives, party hardcore types, and those who see constant change as a good thing. For someone who watches old John Wayne movies, wants to smoke on their own free will, and desires tradition and family, the UAE is not for them.

I want to say Bill Nye the Science Guy, but after people learned he wasn’t a real scientist and decided to go all political, I lost all respect for him. Early 2000’s was peak for adult TV entertainment. The problem with past decades was TV had to cater to family due to strict censorship guidelines. If you wanted adult screen entertainment you had to visit the movie theaters.

I'm 36, so if you're pushing 40 years old you are around 38 or 39. If marriage was grand in the 1950s - 1960s, then the institution is now at rock bottom in 2022. You're better off marrying in eastern Asia, where the women there don't hold the bad mentality western women have fallen victim to.

  5567.  @oldhickory4686  That was all taken out decades ago. Until the late 1970s America had a strong manufacturing industry. Now we get kitchen appliances that aren’t half as good as the ones your grandparents were using back in the 1950s and 1960s. Stuff is not built to last anymore. It’s all stuff from China and elsewhere. When it breaks there’s not much you can do because the parts and materials were made in a foreign country, with different standards in contrast to America’s own. The young men are not only weak, they are demoralized.

  5568. Two generations of single moms sure, but the issue stems to arrogant Boomers. There’s a number of liberal Boomers who started this garbage, and from there it has gotten worse. Gen X suffered from a lot of these problems too. Failed relationships, Gen X women who couldn’t adjust to married life, and Gen X men who are largely independent and away from women. Millennials and Gen Z are just picking up the torch over what Boomers and Gen X had already laid down for them.

  5576. I recently watched old Forensic File episodes here on YT that originally released back in the late 90s, early 2000s. Back then they actually showed the gruesome scene of the victim, and how forensic evidence lead to the perpetrator being discovered and punished. What you're seeing is censorship going in one direction. OF has kids that are barely 18 years old engaging in very disgusting behavior. Meanwhile old shows like Forensic Files are completely demonetized and age restricted because of 30 seconds of a gruesome scene. The double standards are very telling.

By today’s standards, I am a classic liberal from the 80’s and 90’s. I no longer support the Democratic Party, and my big regret is I didn’t see the decay sooner.

  5680. As a Millennial, many of us were tricked by the pharmaceutical industry to take more prescriptions for our depression. This has led to the industry making serious bank, because back then we were young and naive and didn’t know any better. At 36, my peers tell me taking those drugs was a big mistake. They didn’t help their depression and they threw away thousands of dollars for what is essentially now entirely profit driven. You also have to consider that back in 2004, most people didn’t have social media, most of us weren’t terminally online, and MySpace was a new social media site, mostly dominated by kids who just wanted to have some fun.

Should I have a small child going to school today in order to get a validation from you?

A lot of cold medicine doesn’t work, neither does a lot of antidepressants. Yet we’ve spent thousands towards an industry that is protected and couldn’t care less. Thankfully I stopped putting money into meds over a decade ago. Sad to see things have gotten worse.

  5692.  @izzydeadyet7336  I remember that time. High schools used to have designated smoking sections. In the 90’s they cracked down hard on kids smoking in the bathroom stalls.

  5694.  @stephenshelton4267  The 1980’s was also when fear mongering started to surface. I don’t know if you yourself are a Baby Boomer or a Gen Xer, but when I talk to older people on average, they are generally more disciplined, less prone to BS, have more life skills, and far less willing to turn “woke”. The reasons why a lot of Millennials and Zoomers are more unstable and prone to violence are several. One reason is they do not have the purchasing power Boomers and Gen Xers did. Another reason is they were both raised on cable TV and the internet. A good reason why ‘The Greatest Generation’ was so strong willed and determined was because they grew up in hard times. Millennials in contrast were pampered in the 80’s and 90’s, but they were also heavily influenced by the media. TV is no longer a source of good information. Much of the internet today is corporate propaganda, and young people fall for it because they lack life experience. The ADD/ADHD situation is real. Millennials didn’t become radicals in a vacuum.

  5697. What you’re saying isn’t new. You work in show business. That’s your life. John Wayne didn’t just decide to give up. Working in movies was his life. He did that for decades, working overtime during most days of the week. Hollywood, and most forms of show business, are extremely rough. It doesn’t account for feelings. People who endured years of show business have to be tough. I’m sure you’ve been within touching distance of some very famous celebrities, but you have to remain professional. However, Matt has his own agenda. Keep in mind that he is part of Dailywire, which includes Ben Shapiro. Ben has his own angles, just like you said Tim Pool has made claims without backing them up.

When people finally realized what he was doing decades later, it was already far too late. As far as I’m concerned, America just needs to collapse. All those Americans heading to Mexico aren’t doing it because they want to. They’re moving there because they’re fed up with what their country has turned into.

  5713.  @Nylon_riot  Hollywood was always trash, and this dates back to when Judy Garland was abused by the old Studio System in the 1930s. What I will say is the people back then who were running the studios knew what they were doing, and that was providing entertainment to audiences who had to suffer thru the Great Depression. The propaganda isn't new at all. Neither is what you see in cable news. I recall an old show named Crossfire in the 1990s, and I recently learned it was already established a decade earlier in the 1980s. All those angry talking heads you see can be traced back to Crossfire, which was often two or three old people ranting over what many average people likely thought was nonsensical. This has been going on for a really long time at this point. Crossfire is long gone, but the angry talking heads continue to spew their hate on the media every single day. In regards to Japan, they once looked to America for inspiration. No more. Douglas MacArthur did much for Japan, as I'm sure you already know if you've been following this channel. Japan was also inspired by Disney, not just in their theme parks but also by their animation. Japan has long abandoned American media. For decades America has followed Japanese media, quite the opposite from what was going on in the mid 20th Century. Hollywood died in the 1990s as far as I'm concerned. The past 20 years or so have been utter junk coming from them, with a couple golden nuggets here and there amongst the sea of trash. No more Back to the Future. No more Indiana Jones (the latest film is a disaster and thus soils the legacy). No more Star Wars. Everything that was ever good there was killed off by those in ivory towers.

  5715.  @doscaminos204  Yes. Both of my parents were raised in the 1950s - 1960s so they can understand where you’re coming from. However, Baby Boomers far too often vision a Ozzie & Harriet, Leave it to Beaver society. Neither of those two were ever realistic, as they were Hollywood productions that glamorized those lifestyles. The actual 1950s and 1960s were in hindsight, far more ugly and gritty. There’s more than enough historical footage to prove this. I’ve been to various museums that run exhibits of mid 20th Century America, which portray a more traditional, actual life that most Americans had. One of my big issues is all the giant corporations have gone cheap. Instead of hiring people based on their talent and skill, they hire diversity hires just because. This has resulted in stagnation, not just entertainment products but more importantly our production has suffered. We rely more on illegal immigrants instead of people who grew up and respect America for what it is, or what it was rather. Universities across the board have been subverted. Thomas Sowell talks about this multiple times in his books and videos, as I’m sure you already know.

  5728.  @blib6205  Carson would be pushing 100 today if he were still alive. He would of retired regardless. Still, there is absolutely nothing that compares with Robin Williams making Johnny Carson laugh on his show. That is something you just don’t see anymore. Today, talk show hosts rarely let the guest speak their mind, and even rarer is letting them talk without the host interrupting them. To look at those old 1970’s - 1990’s clips of the Carson show and compare them with todays utter garbage is just silly. John Oliver doesn’t have anywhere near the charisma that Carson had. He couldn’t even properly replace Jon Stewart, even though Stewart was always a leftist.

  5730.  @blib6205  Carson would lose his unique style and demeanor. He was a part of the old Hollywood system which cultivated bright personalities that entertained the audience. It’s not just the entertainers either, the writers are largely responsible for writing good material. Times have changed. We just witnessed the recent writers strike which I’m sure you already know. Can’t always blame the writers either, it’s the people above them pulling the strings who are pushing a lot of this garbage. Hypothetically, Carson would today be like Jimmy Fallon. Bland and uninspired. John Oliver is running a canned laughed track, or those are some very well trained seals cheering for him. Either way, talk show hosts don’t hold the caliber they once did. That’s why they have to tackle subjects like homeschooling to keep them relevant. Their dwindling audience is indicative of this. There’s far more distractions now in contrast to Carson’s era, when personal computers simply didn’t exist until the 1980’s and few people had them.

  5731.  @blib6205  I would side with you, but here you are commenting on Matt’s other segment videos and just typing nonsense. It’s clear you don’t like Matt Walsh, which is fine, because he’s not someone that will please everyone. But you’re being daft if you think what John Oliver is saying here is credible. He wants more kids to abide to the system and go to public schools, which at this point, may as well be indoctrination centers. I’ve watched a lot of different talk show hosts in the past. David Letterman. Jay Leno. Conan O’Brien. Jimmy Fallon and so on. It wasn’t until recent times that politics became fashionable. Carson rarely let controversial figures onto his talk show. Politics were something to laugh at. You think Oliver is doing the same, but he’s not talented. He’s a fool. Oliver is clearly sadistic if he thinks he can make fun of these young parents who are angry their child is learning sex education at the tender age of 7.

Two of my grandparents were very traditional, did their best not to insult anybody, and their lives focused on being happy for their sense of self, but never to be arrogant or self entitled. They died in 1991 and 1997 respectively, and looking back I feel happy that I got to experience their stories when they were still alive. At this point I can barely tolerate being on most airplane flights, or being in a grocery store within a big city. Things have gotten insane. Kids as young as 5 or 6 years old are drones on their smartphones and iPads, lacking any personality and lacking any will or drive to go out and discover mother nature, let alone life.

  5752.  @nucleartaco04  It's good to hear a young person like yourself express this. If you were in elementary back when YouTube came out, then I'm guessing you are somewhere in your early - mid 20s. I'm 33 years old, I was around back in the early 2000s when social media was in its infancy. Back then it was something fun to participate in, but you wouldn't generally use it for more than a couple hours on any given day of the week. Usually it was maybe for a hour. Smartphones didn't exist and your computer had to be connected to the internet. You also had to go through a slow, tedious process to even access the websites because of the fact of technology being limited to dial-up/DSL. So that filtered a lot of the morons out there. I remember Flash too. I fondly remember going on Miniclip to play some Flash games, then go on Newgrounds later in the day. One of the Flash games I recall playing featured George W Bush and John Kerry, which shows you how long I've seen around. But now, you can't have that anymore. If you tried making a game like that that featured politicians people would find a reason to get offended by it. What really pisses me off is how everybody resorts to memes on Facebook and Twitter. Usually to point out the stupidity in people and to reinsert a point that was useless to begin with. Memes used to be funny, original and creative, but now any moron can automatically pull up a stupid meme that somebody else created whenever they make an argument.

  5770. The problem is we no longer live in a capitalist system. Too many people seem to think that capitalism is the problem. If that was, how was America on top for so long in the 20th Century? Every decade from the 1950’s to the 1990’s was a big step forward. Opportunities began to open up for minorities. Women could find employment when previously they were restricted. Our health system improved, our insurance paid for more costs, the average middle class American lived comfortably. I was around in the 80’s and 90’s so I lived that middle class experience. Today, most of us are poor, either forced to live back with parents or older people due to housing costs, or forced to take two jobs to make ends meet. You’re describing corporatism, which is actually communism wrapped in the guise of capitalism because media conglomerates and billion dollar corporations run everything.

  5771. Also, I would rethink your views on socialism being the proper system when it actually denies the average person individual rights and freedoms. Please study 1930’s Germany and the Soviet Union. Look at what happened to some nations that existed throughout the mid - late 20th century when they were under tyranny. Countless innocent lives lost. People voted for a tyrant because Americans became stupid and fell for the propaganda. America is undermining all the efforts that previous generations worked for and sacrificed for in the name of freedom and equality. In actuality, history is repeating.

I'm tired of these 14 - 18 year old kids acting like they know the internet of old when they in reality were still shitting in their diapers when YouTube was fairly new. You kids haven't seen the old internet. You can watch old videos from 2006 - 2009 to get a glimpse of the old YouTube, but you did not experience it firsthand. I'm 33 years old, was on YouTube back in the summer of 2005. Made this account back in in March of 2007, so I have seen how YouTube and much of the internet has changed throughout the years. These zoomer kids with their bullshit 'ok boomer' meme have no idea what the old internet was like. It was a paradise, a good escape from the real world. The internet is now the real world, which is why so much of it sucks at this point.

They weren't around during the so called Golden Age, and at that young age I doubt they'll understand what made it great to begin with. I watched it grow firsthand, was one of those people who jumped on MySpace back in 2003 - 2004 so I have seen how the internet has changed and evolved throughout the years.

  5778.  @TheFloodFourm  If you're saying I missed out on shit like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, Michael Jackson's Thriller and the MTV generation as a whole, then I don't know what to tell you. I made this account I'm using back in early 2007. That is a fact. I was already in college by that point, some of the people who commented on this video weren't even born yet. I was just talking to someone who is literally a decade younger, so I guess in some sense, the younger generations can relate to this video. I've used Twitch, TikTok and I've played a little Fortnite. I played World of Warcraft right when it came out back in 2004, and thus it holds a lot of nostalgia value for me. Looking at it today, I think it sucks. Just like how I always say Angry Video Game Nerd is trash now, but I'll always cherish those old episodes. You seem like the type of woman who will bash on anybody who says YouTube sucks. Because it really is about nostalgia isn't it? Were you around on YouTube back in 2005 - 2006? Because I was, and I saw how it worked back then. Don't try to tell me that 80s kids feel they had it better because they had Transformers, Thundercats, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and MTV.

Kids from the 80s who are now in their mid - late 40s talk about their cartoon shows all the time. Shows like Transformers, GI Joe and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that were primarily made to sell toys for kids. The endless music videos that aired on MTV way back when from one hit wonders who were never seen or heard from again. Those are experiences. I saw MySpace in its infancy, same with Facebook, same with YouTube, same with Twitter. I used Facebook back in 2006 - 2007 when it was mostly a website for college kids to interact with each other. Long before everybody and their grandma decided to jump on Facebook and use it to discuss politics. People like you were bashing 90s kids for their cartoon shows and sitcoms like Family Matters. Now a decade later, you guys are doing the same thing to 2000s kids for their love of Newgrounds and 4Chan, acting like they were the greatest things since sliced bread.

Thankfully I no longer live in the Bay Area, as it is now a liberal infested shithole where extremists tell you to say your opinion is wrong because of political correctness.

  5814.  @Southforthewinter  1. It's pretty obvious when you got platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram that are all in favor of looks over substance. Normal looking people don't have a fucking chance. It's why a lot of young people, especially a lot of white people here in America, are trying to seek validation. Back when we first had MySpace, there wasn't near the validation aspect as we're seeing today. It's sad to see our youth be subject to this crap, and for them to be part of the incel community is disgusting, to say the least. 2. Honestly, I can't blame anybody for leaving California. It was the shit back in the 80s and 90s, but it's a political infested shithole that tries to 'cancel' those who are perceived as different. You didn't have near the amount of extreme leftists back in 2005 in the Bay Area. Liberals in general used to be a lot more reasonable. Now they're too far in outer space, while the Conservatives in California hopelessly dwell in the past.

Still when you look at men from the 70’s - 90’s, they were physically masculine. There was no cancel culture so the men were more freely to live their lives with their wives, while they did all the hard work. These 20 - 25 year old males I see these days look more feminine than the old female models of the 70’s - 90’s. Seriously Pamela Anderson looked more masculine than these beta males. What happened?

  5857. I honestly think it’s no surprise that young people are relying on older music to give them a sense of feeling and place. The same is happening with other mediums. I recently showed my young niece the Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy, The Muppet Show and other classic programs that aired on TV. The impact that Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and The Who left on your generation is undeniable. I was left with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Green Day. A different generation for sure, but I still take pride in what those bands did. These young kids going to college today still have modern bands and artists who are good, but they have to search for them. Unfortunately, most of what’s popular now is utter garbage. No soul, no passion, no creativity. It’s a good reason why a number of young people are turning to older music, especially the stuff you listened to.

I was also not allowed to use the computer unless I had permission or I had to do some homework. I was part of several MySpace groups in the mid 2000’s. My life before that was very limited internet usage. It was not a daily thing in my life. If anything, Asmongold here was exposed to the internet sooner than both of us. And that right there is the problem. Zoomers grew up with phones and computers as early as 2 - 4 years old, and now they’re having all these mental issues. They cannot do interpersonal communication effectively. As a person with autism I could speak better than most of these kids. Social media wasn’t a thing until the mid 2000’s , and that was when internet usage went thru the roof.

  5903.  @AK-yx3qf  I get it. Millennials were the loudest to speak up on Gay Marriage, when it finally got legalized in 2015 we jumped for joy over it. Same with the legalization of Marijuana in some US states. The entire culture wars thing is stupid and was always stupid. The 2007 - 2008 economic crash affected a lot of Baby Boomers negatively, as did Generation X. Your older Millennials back then were in their mid - late 20s, not quite old enough to have made a notable impact on the American economy, or even culturally. Today in 2021 we're started to see the older bracket of Millennials enter positions of authority and making an impact on administrative duties. But it will be another decade before many of them will take control as Baby Boomers and Generation X still control the mainstream media. The Zoomers are just that.... self entitled kids. We used to be the same. So did Generation X. So did the Baby Boomers. The Boomers were criticized for their long hair and Hippie like behaviors. Generation X was criticized for not caring enough and smoking too much crack. Millennials were criticized for being too butthurt about everything. The Zoomers of today are, for the most part, picking up where we left off. Zoomers are people born between 1996 - 2010. You just have to look at the numbers to see that most of them are still kids and teenagers. It may be unfair to criticize them, but all the past generations have gotten the same treatment. We were subject to the same bullshit 10 - 15 years ago, just like how Gen X was received back in the 1990s. Kids are kids. We shouldn't judge Zoomers too much until they hit their 30s at least. I think it's fair nowadays to judge Millennials, as most of them are in the age 30 bracket and older. They've already had several years of work experience after leaving college in their early - mid 20s, and therefore I think they should the ones getting judged. Not the Zoomers.

Everything is being transmitted to losing the middle class while the super rich become more corrupt. You're fed up with the victim mentality, but there's a good reason why it's prevalent. I seriously hope you give your children the best they can get, because things aren't going to get better anytime soon.

  5928.  @NicholasBrakespear  I disagree regarding the Postwar Era. The 1960’s was the period where these changes started showing their ugly heads. We had Ronald Reagan in America. You British had Margaret Thatcher. Both of them did irreversible damage to their respective countries. It wasn’t too apparent back in the 1980’s. Today, anyone with half a brain can see the damage they caused with their political policies.
    1
  5929.  @NicholasBrakespear  You’re leaving out the British Invasion we had. The Beatles changed music. We had countless political conflicts in the 1960s. Malcolm X and MLK Jr were both shot. You UK people had your own problems. People born after WW2 were the Baby Boomers. They came of age in the 1960s, particularly when counter culture was becoming a thing. Hippies formed after the Beatnik era ended. They advocated for peace while they opposed the Vietnam War. Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer refused to participate in the war and was punished for it. The Postwar Era generally spans from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. The Vietnam War and the British Invasion signaled the end of the era. The 1980s was marked by the rise of Yuppies, middle to upper class Boomers who spent too much money. Reagan raised taxes on multiple occasions, threw out the mental homes, and gave tax breaks towards the rich. The incarceration rate soared, particularly among poor people and especially with African Americans. Meanwhile, the Republican Party was heavily influenced by Fundamental Christians, far right wingers who wanted to censor anything that didn’t align with their agenda. Really not any different from the Far Left of today, who are mostly all Atheists. Millennials and Zoomers were already born in a broken society. A lot of them are annoying, but can you blame them? Just look at who raised them. Before we start criticizing these far leftists, look at the ones responsible for fueling them.

At this point, having integrity is important. Too many public companies fall away to shareholders. Doesn’t mean private companies fare too much better especially after certain people take over. Disney is finished. The founder died nearly 60 years ago. It kept going for a few more decades after his death, but it’s pretty obvious that stock holders and marketing teams run the company now. I don’t bother with Disney anymore. They’re not even worth pirating.

  5948. You Baby Boomers were lucky. My dad who is in the same age group was able to land well paying jobs in his early 20s. Had enough to support a wife and two kids with only a few years of college education. Unions are gone. You can work at Dollar Tree for over 10 years, you won't get anything out of it. Wages continue to stagnate with rising inflation. If we have the same job as you did back then, you could barely afford to pay for just yourself. You have to land at least a Master's Degree, if not a Doctorate to be able to afford a wife and three children now. That is a lot of schooling and a lot of training you probably have to endure. It's something that most people in this society cannot afford, and worse, they don't have the time for it. I honestly feel that having a good job that leads to a good standard of living is more about luck than anything else. For a number of us "kids", your generations kids, we're going to be slaving away until we reach the age of 75 years old. A number of us will probably be dead before then.

  5965.  @kevg1617  Detroit was the shining example in 1950’s America because it produced the nations cars. Manufacturing jobs were plentiful and you got into the union with a high school education. Since around the 1970’s - 1980’s it went from an economic powerhouse to a sad shell of its former self. Old buildings from the early - mid 20th century lie ruined, used by bums and those who lost all hope. The money pit is gone. The corporations that remain there trap themselves in a bubble while the average person struggles to even put food on the table. Detroit has seen so much strife for so long, that 1950’s - 1960’s outlook on the city almost seems like a fantasy. That is a distant memory now. Most of the White people have all left, leaving behind a dominant African American population whose younger residents turn to gangs to survive. Detroit has no real money. It’s a sad, bleak city with nothing to really offer.

  5979. 1) Apple was closed off as well. But the rest of this is true. 2) Definitely contributing to the monolithic format that most websites are today. 3) We can argue that flip phones actually started this, but with how limited they were you were better off accessing MySpace and Facebook on an actual PC. So for a lot of us going to high school and college in the mid 2000s, we actually had to access the computers at the college library, or use our laptops to do any notable internet activities. Once the iPhone made its debut in 2007 (after Steve Jobs jerked it off literally), everything changed. Attention spans were dropping drastically. Twitter just enforced the decline of attention spans. Putting smartphones and Twitter together was a big mistake. All this to say, the 2004 - 2007 era was the LAST time the internet was completely free and wonderful. Starting with smartphones and the rise of Facebook and Twitter, the internet started to decline.

  6013.  @prefixsuffix  I do think technology is a serious problem. The fact is despite everything we hear, us people in society have, on average, better lives than those ancestors who lived in the Great Depression. But we have traded and sacrificed much for ease of access. We sit in our rooms with tons of DVDs, video games and whatnot, wondering why we're depressed. The answer is right in front of us. Constant screens, internet access, and computers with fast cable/fiber internet connections. Connection was key in getting out of the Great Depression of the 1930s. People lost their jobs, their homes, and were found homeless. Efforts across the world we made to reverse the ills of the economy. By the 1950s, the western world was among the most powerful and influential in the world. In the ensuing decades, we have become more narcissistic, more self centered, more entitled. To really make a positive change that will ensure our children will live better futures, we have to work as a group. One person can't do it all alone. A small group can't do it themselves either. It takes group effort across all fields, and everyone must work together despite their differences. That's the key. Part of the problem is those in charge of the western world and our institutions seem fit to divide us more than they want us to succeed. Look at the puppetmasters pulling the strings, rather than the puppets.

  6041.  @TheExceedermjw  I'm in my mid 30s. Back then in the 1990's if you were a socially awkward autistic kid, you were basically an outcast. I was there at the schools back then so I can speak from experience. In high school until I graduated in 2005 I was a socially awkward teen. Not surprisingly, I befriended other socially awkward kids, with a number of them dabbling in computer tech and video games. When I entered college I finally started getting out of that awkward phase. As an adult I must say I am very thankful I avoided the "groomers" who like to target autistic children, because they are naive. Like them, I used to believe everything the grown ups said, I wasn't old enough to see the crap they were spewing. And this is a big reason why you see a lot of 10 - 18 year old kids identifying as LGBTQ individuals. Identity politics has ruined these impressionable kids. I've been in Discord groups where kids literally half my age are seriously depressed, and all they know is the internet. Us Millennials in our early to mid 30s were the last children to truly enjoy a more democratic society where we played outside, soaked our friends with Super Soakers, went to Toys-R-Us, and played N64 and PS1 games with our bros. Kids today will never have the childhood I had, and my peers who are also in their mid 30s like me are largely responsible for grooming these kids and forcing them to transition and identify with the LGBTQ movement.

  6059. The main reason I used Firefox back in 2004 was because it was fast and snappy in contrast to IE. Safari was the Mac equivalent and was just as meh. Firefox pioneered add ons and putting the user above the ads and profits. Did anyone else back in the late 2000’s or so use add ons for other browsers? The others were slow and clunky, Firefox wasn’t. Now it, like so many other software, have fallen to “lady bugs”. Hitting new tab and seeing the latest headline garbage of news should have been a warning to most.

Tropic Thunder couldn’t be made today because that film would be canceled by the Left. It’s not just Hollywood either. The British film industry has also suffered from a lot of bad ideology that just serves to berate the viewer. The western entertainment industry is a mess. Comic books, music, movies , TV, books. Take your pick, it’s all bad outside of a select few here and there.

  6083. Not that this pertains exactly to the discussion, but the 1965 Pontiac is often considered a turning point in American automotive history. Prior to 1965, American cars were well built, reliable, dependable, and well satisfied with the American public. Starting in the 1960’s, auto makers started cutting corners and as a result the industry began to decline. Both European and Japanese automakers began making their cars more readily available in the 1970’s. By the 1980’s, Japan was outperforming American automotive cars in efficiency, reliability, practicality, quality, ease of access, control and maintenance.

Whenever people asked them about how they came to America, they dodged their questions, usually a sign they entered illegally. The laws seem to be even more lax as the current administration basically opened the floodgates for these illegals. If you’re White, loved wholesome TV shows like Leave it to Beaver, believed in the nuclear family, worked a middle class lifestyle, worked at a factory/manufacturing plant, you are therefore hated and must be removed from the equation. Everything Sowell says here is true.

  6102.  @crispyandspicy6813  As an early 80s baby who saw the entirety of the 90s and 2000s, I think the change towards minimalism started in the early 2000s. Some people might argue the late 1990s, but I basically disagree as many fast food companies wanted your business and wanted your oxygen as a customer. The old 80s Wendy's commercial that was playing in this podcast video showed that they really cared about having the customer get a comfy, worthwhile experience. The decline definitely started in the 2000s, at least it was apparent by then. I worked at McDonalds in the mid 2000s and the corporate people were already making changes to turn the company into a minimalist style atmosphere that is in practically every corporation today. That's why I advise to any kid nowadays going thru high school or college to seek work elsewhere. Fast food doesn't care about your business as an employee, and they haven't for a long time. It's no surprise that a lot of young people feel miserable and depressed working for these fast food companies with their terrible modern style architecture.

We need to make a change and we need to make it now. These Gen Z kids I see these days taking about suicide and practicing nihilism does not give me hope for future children.

  6117. He started his show business career with DJ Jazzy Jeff back in the 80’s, prior to his run on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I always loved the chemistry between Will and Carlton. Will often got in trouble with Uncle Phil, who generally put his foot down on Will. Will Smith’s movie career got off with a bang, with the late 90’s early 2000’s being his pinnacle. Since then he has hovered from being relevant to now being a victim of Jada, who cares nothing for Will. It’s been so long since Will was that young rapper and later movie blockbuster star, but I miss it all the same.

  6118. Sheree was much better for Will. He was in the third or fourth season of his television series when he married her. It’s also a reminder that he was more jovial and light hearted back then. Later on I enjoyed Hud and some of his later movies, but people already suspected that he was not in good standing with Jada. Today Will is a broken man in his mid 50’s who cannot seem to escape the trap that he has been caught into. Those emotions and feelings we see on his face really hurt those of us who have been fans of his for decades.

  6131.  @LocaBaybeex  We don't need exactly need people like Hulk Hogan or Arnold Schwarzenegger..... or women like Pamela Anderson or Marilyn Monroe. Those are two different extremes that appealed strongly to the opposite sex. But we need people who are proud to show their motherly and masculine roles. You're speaking of something that was far more commonplace in early - mid 20th century America. Stay at home mothers who were also sometimes housewives. They took responsibility of the home and the cooking and looking after the children while the man was away at work earning the family income. The problem is men aren't allowed to be masculine anymore. Women aren't allowed to look too attractive or motherly anymore. I named those four celebrities as an example of two extremes, but our modern society isn't having any of that. Our society doesn't produce that kind of masculinity and attractiveness, at least not in the mainstream. In this super woke society we are seeing transgenders going mainstream now. We have transgender men and women competing in sports and presenting a great disadvantage to anybody who isn't transgender. We value a materialistic lifestyle and we spend our time idolizing ourselves on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. It's all shallow, impatient and selfish, and we basically let ourselves fall into the rabbit hole.

  6132.  @TomikaKelly  Gen X didn't give a shit about some things but the things they cared about, they weren't standing on their soapboxes trying to "cancel" out the other person who disagreed with them. They learned not to try to silence the other person, which the Zoomers are doing just that to get their points across. That's the glaring difference between Gen X and the Zoomers. The Millennials were basically sandwiched and told everything will come for them when they finish college only to see them fail because of horrendous debt from college tuitions. The Housing Crisis/Financial Crash the Baby Boomers largely contributed to didn't help the Millennials either, so they already experienced a financial crisis when they were barely in their early - mid 20s. The Zoomers are arrogant. They haven't proved anything. Greta is the only shining light that they have. Everybody else including Kylie Jenner is a poser.

  6142. This is the problem. Millennials never knew a world when there was the military draft, and proper etiquette and respect was required to work in most fields. They didn’t grow up probably because they didn’t have to grow up. They spent their childhood watching cheesy 90’s sitcoms like Family Matters and Fresh Prince of Bel-air. They spent their teen years on social media, notably MySpace and spent excessive amounts of their free time online. They also cannot afford a decent home, and the family unit has been struggling. Gen Z, in comparison, is struggling even more. I don’t believe all are lazy because some are working very hard. But they cannot get anywhere. Past generations were expected to leave at 18, graduate college, marry, have kids and own a home. Nowadays the average Millennial has to wait until at least 35 to 40 to be on their own. Unfortunately, it sounds like the children you’re dealing with are lost, and have no intention of improving.

Instead of going to New Zealand to film scenic shots, they’re now using computers and 4K technology to make the landscapes, which gives off a disturbing, post modern feel.

Virtually nothing about the history of the park, what John Muir did, nothing. Finally used an obscure search engine after much frustration and I ended up on a website from the early 2000’s that was clearly coded on HTML/CSS. It was a treasure trove of information. So after properly sourcing that website, I told this kid to just rent a couple books from the library on Yosemite. Google was absolutely useless in giving us any real information.

  6176.  @danielmaspoch4314  I'm in the minority in what I'm about to say here, but I was really invested in the Desmond Miles storyline. I loved the relation between the ancient past and the present day. How Ubisoft handled Desmond, Lucy Stillman and Warren Vidic was very good. You've been in the Animus the whole entire time, ever since the original. But with how the franchise has gone of late, I feel they should ditch the present day storyline for good. Layla Hassan isn't engaging. She just feels like a patronizing, lecturing airhead who cares for nothing but herself. I was unfortunate enough to buy the Odyssey DLC The Fate of Atlantis which actually continues Layla's storyline. The story was awful, it insulted the general flow of the plot and it was just.... a waste of time. Not surprisingly, we are starting to get more female characters like Layla in modern movies, including Marvel movies. I have nothing against strong female leads, in fact I praise them. But don't make a character that is just going to lecture me or try to patronize me as a viewer. Layla herself had some promise early on in the story in Origins, but that quickly went out the door. The writing for present day in both Origins and Valhalla is completely awful.

  6181. You just have to go back to near a century ago to see the discrimination Asians faced in America. They have moved on from that and are building successful careers. Whites have been demoralized time and again, and they haven’t thrived since the 1980’s and the 1990’s.

  6185. While Sowell may think different, I remember even in the 2000’s our culture and integrity were better served. That sounds like crazy considering the mass panics we had in that decade, but many people have brought this into perspective and it’s all true. I don’t feel like being American citizen is worth anything at this point in 2024. Drug abuse is everywhere, people can’t afford their houses, jobs are now modern slavery, our culture celebrates garbage hip hop rappers and real degeneracy in films, our video games aren’t great anymore, our big tech corporations don’t care about us, the list goes on. 20 years ago I was happier, and a large part of that was the culture we had at that time. Our internet wasn’t controlled by a handful of mega corporations, and our culture still allowed us to laugh and be lighthearted.

  6186.  @robertbeisert3315  There’s a big difference between having a wholesome, down to earth marriage that holds tradition, and simply getting those dopamine hits from women selling their sex. I am of course talking sex found in a video or a livestream. There was never an easier time to find this than right now. For many men under 30, they will probably always remain virgins. No children to pass the torch along. No values that they can teach them. As someone who has seen Tinder and Onlyfans to great extents, I know this experience first hand. And with how difficult it is to even form a relationship in the first place, these young people feel they have nothing else to turn to. Dopamine hits will never be a substitute for a happy marriage.

  6190. I didn't like the cigarette smoke of the past either, and growing up in the 80's and 90's I had to endure a lot of that from family and also from some older friends who smoked. But I've gotten so used to cigarette smoke that on the extremely rare occasions that I smell it (because so many places have outright banned cigarettes, both inside and outside), it smells slightly more tolerable than the pot or vaping, both of which make my face cringe.

  6206. Better infrastructure. Products were American made. We had factories and manufacturing plants that paid good wages to workers. Hollywood wasn’t entirely comprised of leftist elites. Men were more handsome and Alpha. Women were more feminine and knew how to stay in their line. Nuclear families ala Leave it to Beaver still existed and kept communities together. Music was awesome. Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra made something amazing with entertainment. Life was more simple. People could afford new cars and homes. All of this has been taken away from us.

  6207.  @zxyatiywariii8  I'm a 1980s baby and I can tell you from experience that this participation trophy thing was in full swing during the 1990s. I regularly won participation awards because I was rarely ever sick. Out of 180 school days I was only absent for one or two of them. I never got straight As, usually low Bs to low As, and I won probably a dozen participation awards or more. This brainwashed the kids into thinking that all they had to do was attend, regardless of how much their grades sucked or how well they did in extracurricular sports. Probably explains why so many Millennials and Zoomers have such low self esteem, little to no self improvement, and are more or less suicidal. The difference between Gen X and Millennials in how they treat themselves is such a stark contrast. Now Millennials are taking over the workforce and are imposing ideologies that have more or less ruined western society.

Gen X turned around and let their kids be like their best friends. They exposed Gen Z to some very nasty stuff, including drugs. Fast forward to today and what we see out of Gen Z is a consequence of what was happening years ago.

Not only was there more comfy seats and more room, some airlines had actual entertainment. Our society has regressed.

  6282.  @Raggmopp-xl7yf  You also have to realize that many young western women who use social media use filters on Instagram and TikTok. They don’t resemble how they look in person.

  6299.  @Peak_Aussieman  That’s because your grandmother had to endure the Great Depression and WW2. Many young women in the period predating those (the Roaring Twenties) were reckless and arrogant. Then they were all forced to scale back during the Depression, and they had to rely on their men to give them a home. The women of the 1950’s were molded by the Great Depression and WW2, which made them care for things like sensibility, compassion, devotion. Boomers who were kids back then didn’t know any of this, and WW2 veterans back then often refused to talk about the horrific experiences they endured during that time. Today we have old senile Baby Boomers pushing into their late 70s, and three generations after them (Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z) who are without real morals. We continue to act like highschool kids and be in arrested development even if we are pushing 40. Gen Xers were never given proper guidance other than play outside all day and figure out every little thing on your own. Old people born in 1930 or earlier tended to be more disciplined and down to earth. Tough as nails, unwilling to take BS. Boomers act like self centered aligned narcissists, and they are definitely responsible for so many Millennials growing up to be the same thing.

  6311. The problem is self entitlement. This has skyrocketed since the 70s and 80s. The woman who fought for woman rights to vote and fought for equality in the workplace were the real trailblazers. All Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have done is absolutely nothing. They are worthless socialites pandering to the fake Hollywood celebrity culture. People just eat it up. A real female hero and trailblazer would be someone like Amelia Earhart. Rosa Parks was another trailblazer, she fought against something that was blatantly wrong. I couldn’t care less about some stupid Instagram model who is just there for the views and money. That’s what the vast majority of today’s female models are about in a nutshell. They haven’t proven anything. They haven’t moved society forward. All the kids that make up Generation Z just eat it up because they don’t know better. I am inclined to feel that feminists of the 1970s had an actual point. Now, our society is getting dumbed down, thanks to women who are on social media for looks and weak men who can’t stand up to themselves.

None of them were pushing this garbage onto the kids. Sure, they were incompetent when it came to certain subjects (Math), but they weren’t pushing the drugs or identity politics. Our generation of teachers is warping kids minds. The fact we got Zoomers saying they were asked to transition when they were 6 years old tells me the system is rigged.

  6327. Tom of MySpace let his wave ride the tide and let go when it was over. MySpace may have been cringe, but it had real people and real groups. Tom gets my respect. Mark in contrast is the epitome of greed and power. FB has gone downhill for years while he himself continues to gain more wealth. Laying off those FB employees was another indication that things weren’t quite as good as the media wants you to believe. Mark is like all the billionaires (save for one or two guys that I cannot name). Faceless, monotone, greedy, sinister and evil.

  6328. Anyone with half a brain knows cigarettes are bad, but so is alcohol and other drugs. The 1920’s was a really bad time because the government banned alcohol, so crime rates skyrocketed. These Democrats are clueless. They want to ban cigarettes outright but they’re okay with other drugs running amok. The double standards never fail to impress me.

  6338.  @ldratol  I’m in the same age group as the OP person here is. As an early teen in the 90’s we had hangouts, meetings, games, activities and communities to partake in. My old neighborhood that had alcoholics and meth users has been replaced by Fent users. They’re all young, and they already gave up on life for a multitude of reasons, one being there is no real help for them, two they have no communities in their area like we did.

  6339.  @Qwuiet  To no surprise, these leaders don’t allow their own children on the platforms they created. Facebook is no longer a place for college students to hang out when it was just a small start up website in contrast to MySpace. Once it got big it started to fill with toxic, angry people who would not tolerate anybody but their own social circles. My account was dormant for years after the verbal abuse I received from countless people on certain subjects, so I moved on. Once I learned what Mark had planned to do with Metaverse, I went back to my Facebook account for the first time and ages and deleted it. These people have divided others, and it’s no accident.

  6344. Not only this, but all three professions have far more garbage to deal with. The kids working these jobs are paying more for less. The Silent and Boomer generations had secured jobs, guaranteed benefits, a livelihood in getting involved with the community in after school programs, etc etc. I know this because I went to preschool and elementary school myself in the late 80’s, early 90’s. The teachers could be accurately described as middle class people. Nurses in hospitals did not give as many excuses or extend time for patients to the extent they do now. While hospital bills are enough to put families into bankruptcy. As far as being a waiter now, there are far more unruly customers than there was in the recent past. Barely getting paid minimum wage or above it just to have a customer tell you you’re not delivering food fast enough is a situation many young people don’t want.

By 1997 - 1999 violent crime in the United States dropped drastically. Sadly you and your generation missed out. Really miss the days when computers and internet were largely restricted to geeks and nerds interested in the tech. Normal people lived their lives without the internet.

  6368. Based on your avatar picture, and the date in which you made your YouTube channel, you have studied this for a long time. You have single handedly explained why so many liberal democrats come off as insane. The people running these higher education facilities are those in administration. Therefore, you’re not getting many people who have insight and are capable of critical thinking. You have people being part of the “herd”. It’s one giant group think and if you think differently, you are not welcome in their social circles. In 2007 I was too young and naive to notice any of this. Now 15 years later, and having witnessed many college kids and faculty, I can definitely say these colleges/universities are utterly lopsided. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and foresight.

  6385. Your kids are being brainwashed. They've had to go thru COVID-19 during their formative years, when it's important for children to develop social skills with their peers. Community colleges and high schools in the United States have been defunded and it's been this way for a long time. Universities are hardly any better. Today's generation of kids are being subjected to Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and other cancerous social media websites where actual brainwashing content is regularly being posted daily. A 10 year old girl sees some young college woman dancing to something, then she emulates that move. These are impressionable young kids, and the people running our society couldn't care less. I can go back to the 1990s when I was a kid and I just cannot help but think the standards were simply better back then. Nowadays the standards have lowered to the point where kids are being forced to learn diversity, radical views on racial minorities, how LGBTQ works and operates, and how the feminist ideology is superior to anything else. This wasn't accidently. This was carefully planned and executed. Everything that this Podcast Lotus YouTube channel is posting is leftist and far right propaganda meant to divide and conquer. It is everywhere now, and it is one good reason why so many people, especially the kids, are so miserable and depressed.

I left the Democrats during the Obama administration. Many people on the modern day left only know how to respond with emotion and half baked theories. They are incapable of independent thinking and critical thinking.

  6395. The UK decided to follow America’s example of multiculturalism. We began exporting our industries back 30 - 50 years ago, starting with blue collar jobs in the manufacturing business. Old American products from the 1950 s - 1980s were higher quality. Today we get our products from mega corps that are multinational. They break easily on purpose, which means they are no longer built to last.

  6410.  @bmardiney When I was growing up in the late 80’s to late 90’s, you rarely heard about this stuff. The worst you heard back then was the media painting Gen X as lazy, entitled, and unable to work. But compared to Gen Z, Gen X was self sufficient, independent, and actually got stuff done. Gen X also didn’t have a host of mental health issues, those that did didn’t blatantly mention them out in the open.

The cost of living is so high you’re essentially left with either rich people, or those stuck in poverty.

  6415. The problem is our media is fueling this crap. Whether you are part of far left Antifa or the Donald Trump MAGA Nazi tattoo movement, they are both awful. MLK Jr is just spinning in his grave at this point. Most people who are right wingers won’t bother to acknowledge anything good the man did. Likewise people on the left wing have forgotten the purpose of equality. Now we live in a system that openly hates white people and if a cult like the KKK came back and robbed stores in the name of white privilege, they would be shot down and arrested before we bat an eye. Meanwhile Antifa regularly loots stores like Apple in the name of communism/socialism. Yet our media largely spins those news events and Antifa members just get a slap on the wrist. Our culture and system are both rotten to the core.

  6418. This is a big reason why previous generations were better at handling their emotions and just moved on with their lives. The Greatest Generation went thru the Great Depression and WW2, both events that triggered high anxiety. They moved forward and were largely responsible for molding one of the most powerful countries in modern history. In the process, they were locked in a nearly half century long struggle with the Soviet Union. Every generation that has come after them and the Silent generation has become progressively worse. I work with Gen X, Millennial and Gen Z people and on average, they are not as stable and well built as the Silent and Boomer co-workers I worked with 20 years ago. Older Boomers and Silent gen people have told me the Greatest Generation was made up of hard, loyal and dedicated men and women, who served as mentors when those Boomers started the workforce 50 years ago. Bullying in the past was worse. Anyone who went to highschool in the 1970s and 1980s can tell you that kids were often relentless in their bullying. None if any of those kids went to therapy. Nobody made a big deal out of it aside from telling teachers and parents. They handled it and those bullies were often given punishment. Now we have therapy centers in highschool that are indoctrinating kids to not only acknowledge their mental illnesses, but to tell them they are worthless unless they follow a certain ideology. This of course is all behind computer screens, and the fact that kids these days rarely engage in interpersonal communication as opposed to spending hours playing video games and reading social media posts.

Don’t fret, because us younger (I’m 40) people aren’t all arrogant and condescending. Much of it comes from an elite class of individuals, who never faced real struggle. Lebron James of the NBA is one such player. He is arrogant and boasts whenever he is given the opportunity. Don Rickles I wasn’t aware of until I heard his voice in Toy Story as Mr Potato Head. That got me to look him up and I found that he already had a long career in show business. Don sounded mean because of his insult comedy, but from what I heard, he was one of the nicest people in the industry.

  6467.  @ejtattersall156  The difference between the 1930’s and now is people back then were tougher. They faced adversity. Gen Z likes to cry in a corner. They are the poster boy generation of the 2020’s, the worst decade of my existence. I agree with most of what you said, but a big reason for that is Boomers were practically handed the reins. Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z all got shafted. Don’t forget that TIME labeled you Gen Xers lost and confused back in the 1990’s. The reason you’re forgotten is because it’s far more profitable and trendy to lump the issues on Gen Z, just like what happened to Millennials in the 2000’s and early 2010’s.

  6468.  @ejtattersall156  If I had the option to ask Mike Tyson what made him so tough, I’d ask him. Hint: It wasn’t training. It was the terrible childhood he had. 2Pac told people the same thing. No father figure, left to fend for himself, was constantly in trouble with the law.

If older generations seemed tougher and more resilient, it’s because they had to be. The average life expectancy in America in the year 1900 was only 40 - 45.

  6471.  @eh1702  All of this which has led to suicides among Gen Z, and increased drug usage. Can you blame them if they’re working 80 hours a week to keep their crummy apartments? All of this is by design. And it’s part of the reason why nostalgia for the 1950’s to the 1990’s is so strong in America. The corporations at some point have declared war. If you are part of the 99 percent demographic, you are being shafted.

  6475. It's no different here on the West Coast. No matter what way you look at it; Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego have all been ruined by liberals. It begins to look like a series of staged events when you sit down and think about them. Boston, Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington DC, exact same story. The main reason I think Republican cities such as those in Florida, Houston, Atlanta and so on is because the Republican party has policies in place that don't place garbage in front of the American people.

Ultima Underworld 2 was also good, as that follows the characters and settings more in regards to the original Ultima series. UW1 and UW2 are old DOS games, so they aren't for everybody. You might want to try out Betrayal at Krondor, Wing Commander 1 & 2, and Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty.

  6484.  @SknCommonLisper  Well they’re all old. Dune 2 set the blueprint for RTS games. Doom I’ve played on countless mods, with Brutal Doom being my personal favorite. There’s very few if any old DOS games that aren’t going to give a sense of nostalgia. Asmongold wouldn’t know because he was simply born too late.

SNL (Saturday Night Live) was in its prime, coming from great talents like Phil Hartman and Chris Farley who both benefited from the smart, witty writing they were given for the show. Same thing with Seinfeld. Very clever witty writing that allowed you to think. Today, writing has been severely dumb downed while the actors/actresses are basically insufferable when the camera is on them. It's just embarrassing at this point

My dad was in his late teens at the start of the 1970’s and he did not attend college. He worked really hard despite getting poor grades in highschool, and he ended up being a senior worker at a manufacturing plant that gave union benefits. America actually had a prosperous manufacturing industry in the 1970’s. They paid well, and you lived comfortably in what was the middle class of that era.

I like to think of the film The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman as the start of the then new feminist wave. Girls started disrespecting their elders as a result of the Sexual Revolution. Definitely not the stoic, disciplined, hard working, honest, down to earth 1950's women from a decade earlier. Janis Joplin in particular was consumed by the chaos of the 1960s.

It was very possible to finish a two year college degree, and then get hired in a field in computers, engineering or mechanics. For those who didn’t go to college, factory jobs, while monotonous, paid well. Sometime in the early 1980’s, this started to change. We now have at least two adult generations who are not only incompetent, they cannot support themselves as well as their parents did in the past.

These days 34 years old isn’t saying much, due to high costs of living and other factors contributing to Millennials and Zoomers having stunted growth. Drugs and hard working conditions aged the Greatest/Silent/Boomer generations, but they were simply more grounded. More dependable. More susceptible to dealing with others issues. Styx is quite informed and wary for his age, but he would probably crumble in contrast to older generations if you took one of them and made them the same age group. Identity politics combined with spearheading socioeconomic and sociopolitical policies ruined the Millennials. Baby Boomers set them up for failure. Zoomers are just trending the path the Millennials already trudged upon, with an even higher bill to pay.

The Stock Market Crash in late 1929 led to the Great Depression of the 1930s. America had a brief window of recovery thanks to Franklin D Roosevelt, but the invasion of Poland by Germany in September 1939 marked the start of World War II. Americans were concerned and touchy. Pearl Harbor in December 1941 marked American's entry into World War II. The Allies gradually won, with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki signaling the end of World War II, not too long after Hitler committed suicide. American experiences a post war boom starting from 1946 up until 1960 - 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Tensions mounted and young soldiers were drafted to fight in the Vietnam War. It was then that the Hippie Movement emerged, protesting not only the war but also rebelling against the norm that the World War II generation made standard. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were among those musicians who spoke about the tensions and culture changes of the late 1960s. The early 1970s still marked a time of tensions. Once the Vietnam War became an afterthought, disco entered the scene and America become lively and prominent again from 1976 until the later half of the 1990s. The 80s and 90s were rightfully coined the time of the Yuppie and the time of the Baby Boomer economy. The Tech Crash happened in 2000/2001, then 9/11 happened. George W Bush goes on a campaign to fight the "War on Terror". America invades Iraq. Saddam Hussein is captured. Then come 2007, the Housing Crisis happens and the Great Recession of 2008 occurs. Today in 2021, we are suffering from the aftermath of COVID-19 while we see our presidents approval rating plummet. Tensions are high, not just in real life but also on the internet.

  6618. This is one of many reasons why I stopped watching sports. They have become a corporate propaganda machine, and it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a fan. I’ve stopped watching the NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL. So far it doesn’t look like fishing has been affected by the woke ideology. Other sports that don’t gain the national press seem to be doing better, if only slightly. I miss the 80’s and 90’s when you could watch sports like the NBA and be genuinely entertained. Lebron ruined the NBA, and now every other player has to make a political statement on social media. It is all disgusting and I’m just done.

I can’t sit thru a Rihanna or Taylor Swift music video at all.

  6639. I stopped watching ESPN a long time ago. I saw the warning signs over a decade ago when they started putting priority on politics and talking heads more than simply covering the games. The ESPN of the 80's and 90's was great. Now it's just a sad shell of its former self. Disney practically instilled politics within ESPN and now it just exists as a label.

  6663.  @saintdominicreview  Most of us don't have money to move to Poland or another country in Europe. That requires a great deal of time and foreplanning. Someone I subscribed to back a decade ago in 2011 - 2012 on this website finally moved to Europe in 2019. He moved because he was tired of the American politics. It took him a few years of very hard work, learning a new language, visiting his country of choice by going to various towns, learning the people, culture, heritage and history. I tip my hat to anybody who successfully moves to Europe for a better quality of life and has a happy one as a result. Sadly most of us have friends/family keeping us down so we're practically tied behind our backs. It is possible to make the journey, but unless you're a very rich individual who has no family ties keeping you down, it's going to be a hard and strenuous road to achieve your destination.

I moved out of California but before I left, many rural areas were in pretty bad shape. Infrastructure was decaying. It’s difficult to start up any small business in California anymore due to the one party (Democrats) ruining everything. Also doesn’t help its education system is rock bottom, one of the worst in the entire country. The cities were horrible, but the rural areas weren’t much better in the state. Everything bad starts in California.

  6692. I was watching Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music and I had this exact same thought. You basically knew the actors before you even saw the films. Today everything is disingenuous and nothing is authentic. People can call Hollywood fake and demoralizing all they want, but there was a certain allure and appeal in old films that has long since been lost. I’d pay to watch an Orson Welles level presentation and performance than to watch some reject like Ezra Miller play a superhero role in a film that’s been done a thousand times.

I grew up on an assortment of Batman figures and I watched Batman: The Animated Series growing up. Played a lot of superhero video games. You can consider Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles part of this. Just because you didn’t like the Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Mad Men for their profanity and adult themes, doesn’t mean you can turn around and stomp on people who don’t care for superhero movies. I’m certainly not going to sit on the floor playing with Superman like a 6 year old kid by myself while I make childish noises. If you’re still doing that, you have a problem.

Right now I’m living with friends while I’m working towards something where I can be alone and content. Single people like myself are getting shafted, and it’s all by design. Our government is rotten to the core, and most people are too lazy to see what’s going on.

  6719.  @jesusisdead Pick up trucks in the 80’s and 90’s were smaller. They used up a lot of gas, but gas was cheaper, so it wasn’t too big a deal.

We cannot get smaller trucks.

  6726. I used to take regular bike trips to Portland from Vancouver back in 2006 - 2012. The drug issues were starting to get a little worse and homeless people were becoming more prevalent, but it was nothing like it is today.

  6727. The thing I learned about the American Mafia is that a number of those old mobsters didn’t come in legally. So it’s completely logical to assume that one who came in decades ago can still be deported, because they never went thru the legal process of being admitted legit. The problem is we now have an oligarchy that is pulling the strings while the most visible faces of our current administration are merely puppets. This was intentional and this was clearly meant to divide the American people. Compare today to when you were young in the 80’s and 90’s and you will see how the quality of life has gone downhill.

Contrast that with 1960 when America was around 85 - 88 percent White, and then in 1980 when 80 percent was White. America not unlike Canada and the UK is getting hoards of illegal immigrants. Over in the UK, Whites are getting the same treatment. Now they’re told they can’t even have pubs, or apply to many jobs. Meanwhile blacks from Somalia are moving in with force while they’re handed all the paperwork there, scot free.

  6735. This is why I remain an Independent. The pendulum swung far to the Left during the 1960’s. The Hippie Movement was one clear example. Fast forward to the 1980’s. The Ronald Reagan administration. Christian Conservatives gained a lot of power during this time, and were starting to impose their rhetoric on things like putting labels on rock albums. Musician Frank Zappa opposed this, and debated on national television against a bunch of Christians who felt their views were the only correct opinions. On the left, you have Communists. On the right, you have Fascists. Neither are good for the long term health of America. You would do best to understand this. In this current day, the Left controls the media and our culture. In the future, the pendulum will likely swing to the Right.

  6740.  @southlondon86  Bullcrap. Marvel movies are mostly about the same plot lines with the same generic CGI. Goodfellas and Casino are actual art. Martin Scorsese practically hit the nail on the head. These MCU movies are basically products meant to cater to the masses and make lots of money in the process. There are countless independent film makers who would give their arm and leg to get recognition and credit. But here we are mindlessly consuming dumb MCU movies because we already know what to expect out of them. No imagination or creativity.

  6741.  @dvforever  I don't know if you have a profile on Internet Movie Database, because if you do I would like to check out your work. Maybe that website only accepts people of a certain profile. I imagine that indie writers and directors have a listing on there. Personally, I think the 1990s was the last great decade for big budget cinema. Yes, we had those campy 90s Batman movies, two of which were awful (Batman Forever and Batman & Robin), but you had so much creative juice from the screenwriters and filmmakers who were around. Scorsese made Goodfellas and Casino, both in the 90s. Two long time favorites of mine among with many others from that decade. Even films like Home Alone 1 that were regarded as childish and overly juvenile were better than some of the stuff we get now. Hollywood can't seem to make entertaining movies with a simple plot anymore. I basically surf on Netflix and Amazon Prime only to find very little. Things started going downhill in the 2000s. We still had good stuff. No Country For Old Men. There Will Be Blood. Napoleon Dynamite. Little Miss Sunshine. I can easily name a dozen other dramas and comedy films that were solid. But it marked the beginning of MCU, and Hollywood started getting lazy. Today I just pride myself in foreign films from Europe and Japan. Hollywood has completely lost it for me.

  6742.  @JayfroC  Scorsese has more misses than home runs, but his home runs are major works and can't be easily dismissed. His work is not to all taste and when he tries to be spiritual, that's where he's weakest. Nonetheless, he's a great student and historian of cinema. But I don't need Scorsese's opinion on Marvel movies to help me make up my mind on Marvel movies. They're repetitive, derivative, formulaic entertainment for juvenile minds. It's okay if you like them. It just means you like to be distracted by junk entertainment.

  6743. Your situation is what California has been suffering from for a long time. Portland is a deep blue city, in a state that votes blue. Red voters there are just as helpless as they are in California. Every blue city I have been to over the past few years has the same problems. Trash. Homeless. A serious drug problem. No incentive to clean things up and make things look better. I’m tired of it. Best of luck with your future home.

YouTube generally blacklists the more vocal conservatives so you have to dig around to find them. As long as Susan (CEO of YouTube) and her cronies control this place, they will represent the progressive agenda. It’s why I try to encourage people willing to fight and put their necks out risking them to speak their voice on other platforms.

The food is also lower quality, thanks to corporations cutting costs to make up for loss of profits. Subway back in 1996 tasted much better than Subway does today. Why? Because the ingredients used were higher quality. The same can be said for the other corporate fast food joints.

    1
  6819.  @Merlynn132  It’s not the Snow White character. Walt Disney just made his adaptations of old stories like Alice in Wonderland, which was an English novel in the 1800s. The actors are what I focused on. Tom Cruise was a favorite of mine when I was a kid decades ago, but I’d be daft if I said he hasn’t done any weird or stupid stuff over his career. John Wayne was one of a select few who became political during the 60’s, which divided a lot of people, particularly during an infamous magazine interview he did in 1971. Rachel Zegler is not a good actress. She’s not even fit to play a small role. She’s just another Gen Z zombie who is upset that people don’t like her on social media. Just like Lindsay Lohan before her, Rachel deserves no credit and she is just making a fool of herself on the internet.
    1
  6820.  @Merlynn132  Another thing to consider is that the cheesy crap selling garbage that became the norm by the mid - late 1980’s actually replaced the old vintage restaurants that were around in the 1930s - 1970s. My grandmother who grew up in the 1940s complained to me once that the fast food joints in the 1990’s were dumbing down kids. She was right. My 70 year old father also told me we had more natural food at restaurants and grocery stores. More natural ingredients were used instead of the over processed crap you find in most stores now. Why did this happen? Profit. Like with big tech, a few mega corporations control the food market and they sell processed crap because it generates a huge profit. We went from something decent to crap, then from something crap to even worse crap.

Mom & Pop stores still operate at the same efficiency and standards as they did back in the 1970s - 1990s. I don’t know how old you are but it sounds like you’re quite a bit older, since I mentioned the early 90’s. I assume you were already an adult by then. Second, you start your response towards me with “It’s so cute you think this is still about money”. That indicates you’re simply just insulting my intelligence. Yes, I don’t know a lot and I apologize if I got over processed crap and natural ingredients confused there for a minute. But cmon man, there’s better ways to correct someone than to say a smug remark like that. I’m pushing 40 years old and I live entirely on my own. I plan to move out of the hellhole I live in and move someplace more rural. Do you still want to tell me I can’t accept a lot of things yet?

Harris just turned 60 and prior to the devastating election loss, she already looked horrible. Obama is also in the same age group and while he may not look as bad mentally, he still looks confused and battered. What does either person have to do with Sowell? Little if anything, but you cannot expect to live a life filled with lies, propaganda, manipulation and abusing the system without taking a toll on your mental and physical health. This is the stuff the Democrats hold onto and that is why people like Whoopi Goldberg look crazy and insane now as opposed to decades ago.

  6835. 1. Many Millennials are lazy, but there are also many who work hard. 2. Educated in terms of trivia and materialistic possessions. When it comes to critical thinking, no. Most Millennials cannot think for themselves, largely due to how we were brought up in the school system. We also weren’t granted the freedom and independence that Baby Boomers and Gen Xers received before us. 3. Like with America, the UK is becoming unaffordable for the average white person. Big reason? Illegal immigrants. Many are just handed papers and places to live. Citizens born and raised in America and UK respectively are forced to work like slaves while maintaining two jobs and crippling debt.

That tells you I've known him for a long time. Mike Matei was the guy who worked behind the scenes. Used to make those art covers at the beginning of each AVGN episode in those old seasons. The AVGN of today is just boring. James just comes off as very monotone. The new characters for his skits are garbage. I get it. James is now a man in his 40s, basically middle aged at this point, is a father, and has basically lost the spark he once had. He is far from broke, he is basically well off financially. He is past his prime. Same thing happened to AVGN as what happened to The Simpsons. Those first 10 - 12 seasons, probably some of the best comedy we saw in any television show. Then The Simpsons movie came out, I realized the series lost a lot of its magic. The newer stuff became how much we can milk the series and the characters. The Simpsons, in all honesty, should of ended 10 years ago. The AVGN movie, likewise, marked a shift where the AVGN didn't seem as passionate as before.

  6844.  @PatricioHondagneuRoig  That’s true, but over the past 20 years they have gone to great lengths to get themselves heard. When Trump became president, they sparked alarms inside these left wingers brains. I live not far from Portland, Oregon and it is now a leftist dump. Tons of homeless people who cannot get their medications and there is absolutely no mental care help for them. ANTIFA has made Portland an undesirable place to be. Then you have Amazon, Google and other big corporations who have turned more extremist left wing. Ask yourself if Amazon truly cares about the new LOTR television series continuing the legacy of the franchise. I just see it as another franchise that has sold out, just like Star Wars. Leftists have just as much guilt as right wingers do. And it’s why people like me are considering moving out of America for a better future.

  6850. Modern romance novels aren’t worth your time. It’s not just the quality of writing, it’s also styles and whether someone could inject humor into a story or a script. Hollywood is awful anymore because the writing is atrocious. Never mind the actors barely being able to pull a part from the script. The chemistry is gone too, what I see on the screen these days feels forced. The cinematography has also gone downhill. Even CGI looks cheap and doesn’t feel anything compelling like The Matrix. If Fight Club was a masterpiece, today’s writing feels like a middle school play, with the actors feeling out of place and unable to conduct their roles with any flow or consistency.

  6851. I should also point out to you that many best sellers that the New York Times claims are great are really just fair at best.

  6863. Innocence is bliss after all. Millennials can’t replicate what Baby Boomer writers were making in 1980’s Hollywood cinema. Tupac Shakur (2Pac) thrived as a gangster rapper because he actually lived thru the turmoil. He was the real deal and he actually saw people getting shot. He also served time in prison. His rap songs reflected on the stuff he had seen, and he did not have a father figure to look after. Contrast 2Pac to that of Drake. Drake is a guy who grew up in suburban Canada. He did not have to struggle and hussle like 2Pac did. His rap songs are utterly one dimensional, and the writing is horrendous. Millennials who grew up in middle class homes in the 1990’s and 2000’s don’t have good stories to tell. Since they didn’t experience struggle, and went to the same universities as their colleagues, all they can do is take established IPs and insert cringe level dialogue.

  6864.  @mickeyg7219  Snowden blew the whistle in 2013, which has now been an entire decade. Realistically, we're talking of at least 20 years of the corporations and banking tracking you, including what websites you visit, what interests you, and what your personal details are. The Wild West era of the internet ended a long time ago. It wasn't as great as people make it out to be who wear rose tinted goggles. There were a lot of predators online. People with speaking difficulty and whom were more introverted gravitated towards the internet seeking others with similar interests. The internet that you remember was more libertarian in nature. Nowadays it's largely controlled by a few mega corporations, a couple of which have a net worth in the trillions of dollars. We are headed towards a dark age. The vast improvements in AI will just accelerate this. I can't see any real solution unless you either want to go "off the grid", or use a bunch of VPN services while trying to cover your tracks everywhere you go on the interwebs.

  6867. This is one of the reasons why I shelved God of War Ragnarok. Kratos went from a proper antihero in the first several games to this soy weakling who cannot provide good advice to his son. In fact you felt overwhelmed by a certain female character who dominates Kratos, and he does little throughout the story to really stop her. In Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the story was handled poorly. It was yet another example of man bad, female good. Your female childhood friend who turns out to be the main antagonist intimidates Miles, to the point where he can’t really defend himself. Granted, he was a teenager, but the entire time I just felt humiliated playing as him. The young woman spews out the same feminist BS you see in every other modern Sony published game.

And the women that work there claim that every last male is disgusting and abusive, when really it’s the women who are making the drama. This modern feminist movement started sometime in 2007 - 2012, and has now infiltrated almost everything worth two craps. I’ve watched my peers get fired for completely nonsensical reasons, which is more so code for “I hate males”. Stay strong people. Don’t let these bullies pressure you folks into ending your own lives.

Like the government, the big corporations have instilled the same types of people to run things. They hate white people and if you’re one of a select few, you will get bullied until capitulation. We are better off saying “F society” and start working on forming communities and sharing bonds with those who are likeminded.

All braindead, bratty people to them. Nobody was using '"Ok boomer" much until around 2015 - 2016, basically a stupid internet meme that became viral. The phrase is most definitely ageist. Mostly used by Millennials and Zoomers, mostly Zoomers who don't agree with what somebody said. Personally, I think most Zoomers are morons, naturally because I'm from an older generation from them.

  6884. Most of us can pick apart at Family Matters because the writing wasn't exactly stellar. It was a popular sitcom starring a nerd who got national exposure. Kids in school would talk about him and say "Did you see what Steve Urkel did on Family Matters last night?". Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was another product of its time. I immediately spot the 90's fashion, the dialogue between Will, Uncle Phil and Carlton, and the old school format, before 30 minute shows were restricted to 20 minutes with 10 minutes of commercials. There's a lot I don't miss, and there's a lot I do. The bigger problem is the fact that everyone is fragmented and divided now, thanks to the internet and thanks to technology enabling us not to leave our homes.

  6885. That's because back then America instilled into its children Christian values. We also didn't have an obsession with the media. Most families would watch shows like Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Beverly Hillbillies once a week. They spent their weeks outside doing stuff, working and going to school, and watching a half hour show on primetime. On dial television with three channels and bunny ears. My father was a deer hunter in his youth back in the 1960's, and it wasn't uncommon to have gun, rifle collections inside the house. He never heard of any mass shooter until the 1980's - 1990's. Nobody he knew with big gun collections ever got violent with them, and it wasn't until the 1970's that mentally ill people would cause a ruckus to where they had to be mentioned in the news. Old vintage TV and newpaper ads from the 1950's - 1960's showing guns and toy guns would be outright banned in today's world.

  6891.  @JefferyHagen  I entered the workforce in the late 90’s, and the damage was already done. I’m part of that Xennial, elder Millennial group born in the first two or three years of the 1980s. By being born in 1965 you were already finishing highschool when I came into this world. To keep this short, manufacturing was already long gone. We were convinced in highschool in the late 90s to pursue college, more specifically grab a Bachelors Degree, which requires four years. I did warehousing for various companies, never staying more than two to three years because work conditions were awful. The only people who were paid anything worthwhile were the general managers, who were one tier under the bottom corporate. Every once in a while I would spot a man in a business suit. This was corporate, who only did business with the general manager. Every other manager was denied to discuss anything with this corporate business suit. It was back then around the early 2000’s that I started to learn about the top 1 percent, and the control they had and still continue to have. Then the events of the 2000s happened. We see more things being stripped away in the 2010s. And now we’re possibly facing full societal collapse, partly due to a certain party who is going to initiate full authoritarian rule should they win.

Then MySpace comes along and changes the landscape in which young people interact. I knew several people born in 1994 - 2000ish who were barely 10 - 12 years old when they got onto social media. Most young people I see these days who aren't full of their own crap happen to come from largely conservative families. Their parents were loving and they gave them an actual home. It's not hard to distinguish who had loving families as evidenced by their profiles on Instagram, and those who are leftist feminists who hate men and have real issues with daddy.

Back then there were no smartphones. Cellphones were limited, and internet was simply not an option for most. So girls would often tie up the phone lines. They also had TV shows like Sister Sister. Social media didn’t exist, my sister was a cheerleader and played the clarinet in a highschool band. Today, girls not only refuse to do any of that, they are being taught that men are awful. How is this productive? None of this ideology existed back in the 90’s. Now they’re on TikTok listening to strangers talk about feminist viewpoints that dissuade the family and the man as a valuable member. There are still good women out there, but chances are they are Christian and believe in good faith.

He is one of several reasons why I feel that Baby Boomer politics have been destructive and self loathing. While I have met many Boomers in my time that were down to earth and nice, the fact remains that many in their generation lived privileged lives in the 1950's - 1970's, thanks to the Post War Boom. This man never witnessed the Jim Crow Era, the sacrifices many blacks had to make not just to improve thy selves but also their families and children. Privileged gives way to being spoiled, and being spoiled ultimately leads to lack of loving one's country and failure to understanding real values. This is what this man always has been, even in his youth in the 1970's. Thomas Sowell, in contrast, grew up in 1930's and 1940's America where value, merit and humility were highly sought after, partially due to the Great Depression.

  6924. Hollywood stopped being good sometime back in the 1990’s. In the past, Hollywood writers, though their quality varied, were committed to their work. I have been amazed at what Disney was able to do for so many decades. Even long after Walt Disney passed away, those who knew and worked with him continued his legacy. Roy Disney was one of the last bastions of that old era. After he was ousted out, Disney has been nothing but shareholders and marketing teams leading the charge. If you guys want to know why Disney has been creatively bankrupt for so long, you only need look at the people running the corporation.

  6925.  @hebber1961  TV hasn’t been good in decades. You’re probably thinking of the 1960’s - 1980’s/1990’s when TV could be dependent on for truth and actually delivering news. The 2000’s marked by 9/11 brought hysteria everywhere. Now every media outlet just wants to push their agenda and doesn’t care if the news is real or fake.

  6926.  @fringeminority3224  That ship sailed decades ago. TV started their narratives in the 1990’s, possibly earlier but that was when they were really starting to surface. Then September 11th, 2001 happened and all the big media outlets gradually crawled in their safe spaces and made agendas. Fox News and NewsMax are right wing dominated by old people, CNN and MSNBC are left wing dominated by a lot of old people, plus some Millennials who fell for the socialist crap. The media today is disgusting, rotten and has no regards to the average person.

  6929.  @chriscoughlin9289  That’s the point. In contrast, us Millennials are forced to comply with the modern corporate world if we want to make a name for ourselves. If you want anything sufficient in the business world, you need a Master’s Degree or better. Your Baby Boomer peers, in contrast, were able to land well paying jobs with just an Associates Degree from college. Often times, Boomers had no college degree. Yet they were able to get actual homes, get married and have kids by their early 20’s. The system is corrupt and hollow. And while I’m not going to stand here and argue with you on economics or politics, I will state that many of your Boomer cohorts are simply arrogant and lack forethought. The elder Baby Boomers still in power are turning America into a joke. They sit there and move their thumbs, but are either too incompetent to do anything useful, or simply too entitled. In hindsight, many of us Millennials are starting to see the BS going on, perpetuated not just by your generation but also the one that preceded yours. You can call us whiny and entitled, as you guys have been for a long time. But societies don’t last forever. It’s up to the children to try to fix things, or simply let them die.

  6930.  @chriscoughlin9289  To make an example of your 400 to 1 CEO ratio, I’ll use Bobby Kotick. Kotick is CEO of Activision/Blizzard, a video game company based in Irvine, California, a city that I’m sure you’re familiar with. He made $185,000,000 in the years 2019 to 2021. That’s just over $61 million per year. Divide that number by 400, and you get… over $150,000 USD a year. I’m not saying this is true for Activision/Blizzard, or whether or not employees there make that much anyway. That’s far better than average in California, but this is a tech company dealing with the gaming industry, so it makes lots of profit. Seeing how insane real estate has become in the state, you may need to make that much or more to keep a decent home. EDIT - Just found that lower paying jobs go from $15 - 16 per hour, and the ‘better’ jobs pay around $25 per hour or more. That presents an even worse ratio than the one you presented in regards to the 400 to 1 CEO.

The last time we had a functional society that was happy without an internet presence was the 1990s and early 2000s. We’re coming up on 20 years of internet usage, and every year things continue to get worse. I fear the US Presidential Elections in 2024 will ultimately spark a civil war in the USA, or a possible world war, because everything is unstable now.

There was also the looming threat from Al-Qaeda and the likes of Osama bin Laden. Saddam Hussein was captured in 2003 and executed in 2006, a memory that many Millennials still remember. Everything that Gen Z is facing was lumped on Millennials first. This generation, in contrast, has a higher bill to pay than what the Millennials had to do when they were college aged.

In my experience, 9/11 started the slow and inevitable fall. Now our people are living scared and are driven by mainstream media and social media. Barely anybody wants to get up and do anything. Even if they try to, the corporations and the government make it next to impossible for anyone to make a lasting, meaningful change. The Biden era is an absolute joke, politicized by the constant use of pride flags everywhere, LGBTQ awareness on everything, and an increasingly demoralized, disenfranchised population. Meanwhile, your average joe can’t even tell you where the state of Tennessee, Kentucky or Wyoming are on the map. What makes you think things are going to get better for the United States any time soon?

The tribe sticks to themselves, everything that wasn’t beneficial to the tribe doesn’t concern them. Unfortunately the West promotes polyarmory. It’s one of many reasons why I think we have become more sensitive and possess less critical thinking skills than our grandparents did.

Clearing speedruns on legacy video games (80s/90s eras) and wasting time on TikTok and Instagram isn’t worthwhile. Gen Alpha is already off to a bad start. Keep in mind this isn’t any one generations fault alone, it’s our system and how it has degraded over time. If you don’t want to work until 80 years old, have no retirement plan (corporations are taking these away), and be limited in free speech, you best start working towards a goal and setting good standards for future generations.

  6986.  @bobmorgan1575  Hoover Dam was a massive project made in a time when America was crippled by the Great Depression. It simply would of been impossible to finish it without FDR's initiatives and efforts. Herbert Hoover was a bad president who did nothing to help workers, the worst of the depression was when he was still running. FDR's New Deal was aimed at giving people work throughout the late 1930's and 1940's. By the end of WW2, America was a superpower, made possible by the workers who aimed to reverse the trends caused by the 1929 Crash and subsequent Great Depression (1930 - 1939/1940). America saw prosperity and culture from the late 1940s (1946 to 1964) to the early 1960's. LBJ ushered in social programs that tore apart black families, and sent thousands of white/black American soldiers to Vietnam, with over 50,000 of them dead from the war. The rest is history.

  6988. Feminist activists got their start in the 60’s. Remember that America was in tense relations with Cuba back in 1962, during the height of the Cold War. Decades of oppression led to both sides gearing up for nuclear apocalypse, which never happened. The Soviets grew weak over time until they finally collapsed in 1991. Families were still having kids in the late 50’s. In contrast to the early 50’s, the economy had taken a dip. But it was still very much an Ozzie & Harriet society, where the man worked to earn the family society while the woman looked after the home and children. We don’t have that today. Instead we have Gen Z and Millennial feminists who not only praise the feminists of old, they are actively contributing to the decline of society. Men sit and play video games on screens, women sit and play mobile on their smartphones. The result is they are being divided apart just like the political parties.

At work, you generally work with people who typically do not want anything to do with you outside of work. Of course that's not always true, I made plenty of friends at work. But if you're looking for a date, work is not a good place to start.

It was just popular for Frank Sinatra and his peers to be with Reagan. So while Baby Boomers are generally lumped as the ‘Worst’ generation in modern times, you have to be clueless to not see that the Greatest and Silent Generation played a big part in the decline of America. The Greatest Generation laid down the path, the Baby Boomers only adopted it and corrupted it even more. Most people forget Ronald Reagan was Governor of California back in the 1960s -1970s doing stupid policies as he did as US President over a decade later. The Baby Boomers who didn’t care about the well being of the USA followed in his footsteps. The Gen Xers, Millennials and Zoomers were already shafted by the time they came into being.

  7012.  @tomfrazier1103  I imagine California was better back then. I remember LA back in the early 90's and it was a complete hellscape. The stuff that Ice Cube and Dr Dre talked about in their songs was largely true. The incarceration rate for African Americans in southern California was off the charts. There was also the LA riots in 1992 and the OJ Simpson trial in 1994. East LA was fairly bad. South Central was chaos. Today Los Angeles is a dystopia where braindead Millennials and Zoomers with their narcissism are erecting horrible looking structures in the name of leftism. The city is too progressive for its own good. LA may have been decent back in the 50's - 60's, but that time came and went a very long time ago. A Hollywood viewing of old vintage shows like The Beverly Hillbillies can leave you thinking the area was a paradise back then.

Back in the 1990s and early - mid 2000s, websites were designed to be catered to the desktop PC, which I feel is what most places should really cater to. The dumbasses who watch those stupid internet challenges on TikTok and Instagram are the people who make these platforms profitable. People like yourself who actually work with web design and have been educated in it are an extremely small minority. It's instant gratifaction. There's a good reason why VTubers, TikTok and YouTube Clips are all the rage nowadays. You don't require as much brain processing power to enjoy them.

Two sides that cater to both extremes on the political landscape. The standards and the bar are set too low now. Any moron can cause a ruckus and a political agenda much like Trump did on his Twitter account before it got banned. Personally, I prefer the 2001 - 2012 era. George W. Bush and Barack Obama made a slew of mistakes too numerous to mention, but during that time the internet was a nice escape from the real world. Now, the internet IS the real world. Going "off the grid" is the only real way to escape reality anymore.

  7024.  @Slippin_Jimmy1012  I have to disagree. The 1990s/2000s were that sweet spot in my opinion. Enough technology to be entertained with, but not dominant enough to control our lives constantly. Every decade from the 1940s forward until the 2000s was a major advancement of society. Medicine got better, people better understood one another, people from different backgrounds could get along without throwing a 'no colored people allowed' sign on their storefronts. Yes, that did in fact happen. I'm sure your great grandparents or your elders who are in their 80s and 90s can tell you the rampant racism that was around back then. The Holocaust, the camps that were made to herd in the Japanese Americans during World War II, the JFK assassination, the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, the AIDS epidemic, that shit happened. And that is all stuff that young people today are either forgetting or they just weren't taught history in schools. Which is another problem. You seem like a bright young person, late teens or early 20s if I had to guess. America and much of the western world has been tearing itself apart for the last 10 - 15 years. People who say otherwise are clearly in denial and weren't old enough to recall that time. I will end this by saying the year 2012 was a much better year in comparison to 2021, which feels like a dystopia with how things are going.

I'm not being racist, that's me telling you how it was. Most of you didn't engage with computer tech, including video games until MySpace and Xbox came along. Casuals and simps complain about smartphones. But that is an evolution of what parents thought about DSL internet in the 2000's.

  7040.  @MrBrachiatingApe  I just see them all in the same boat. The Baby Boomers and Generation X were the last generations to have been raised in an analog society. But while Gen X have made little impact in regards to their middle aged existence, the Boomers are on their soapboxes who still think we can craft a society akin to the one we had in the 1980s/1990s. The world that they knew is gone. Really, it’s just Millennials and Zoomers trying to preserve something and trying to leave behind a legacy. We have failed to do that. The Boomers took down all the rungs in the career ladder. Generation X has done little of anything to make our society better. Millennials and Zoomers are both angry, bitter, misguided individuals whose problems were caused by the generations who came before us. Shouldn’t take a genius to learn why so many young people are miserable and depressed. Their future is being taken away from them.

  7050. Gen Xers were also the last generation to have a decent amount of creativity. A lot of old stuff on MTV can be attributed to Gen Xers. You weren’t afraid to be politically incorrect, and you didn’t let sensitive people sway your focus. Something bad happened between Gen Xers and Millennials. While Gen Xers had to fend for their own for being latchkey keys, Millennials in contrast were offered helicopter parents. Millennials were also the first generation to be handed participation medals, which started sometime in the early 1990’s. Self serve propaganda began to infiltrate the airwaves during this time as well. Selfish was suddenly seen as a bad thing, whereas in past generations, selfishness was needed in order to succeed in life. Schools were teaching kids to look out for others rather than yourself. This likely explains why so many Millennials desperately seek validation on social media. The root cause was what they were taught in the schools, which was a different curriculum than the one Gen Xers were shown. Social media is the result of what started decades ago, and I don’t necessarily mean the technology itself. Millennials had far less freedoms than their Gen Xer cohorts did. It turn, the system set them up for failure. Unfortunately the trend has only gotten worse for Zoomers, as they can barely speak English, lacking any semblance of real eloquence or sophistication.

  7073. “Just Say No” was the Reagan political campaign to get Gen X to stay off drugs. Only that it backfired. Drug usage increased in the 90’s. The Boomers were voting in incompetent politicians who were part of the Greatest/Silent generations. They play a part in this grand scheme too. You were the latch key kid while your hippie parents did drugs and told you to be outside until the street lights came on. Baby Boomers talked at you, not to you. TIME did a piece where Gen X was seen as lazy, entitled, incompetent and the ones to be worse off than their parents. This decline has been evident for a very long time. We have three adult generations and one child generation who have all been shafted.

MLK Jr is spinning in his grave. I don’t necessarily agree with Matt here largely because I think he’s out of touch. The behavior you see in the fight video is a result of parents not properly raising children. And I’ve listened and followed rappers like 2Pac, who grew up in a broken home.

Of course, any 90 year old black person today can tell you about the 50s and 60s from first hand experience. Thats why I value Sowell because he was actually there back then. Most of these activists who are African American aren’t worth listening to. They have had privileged lives in contrast to their grandparents who had to endure much more. When they were segregated they had to work together as friends and family in order to survive.

Cars were made more out of metal than plastic. For decades America has shafted manufacturing jobs overseas for cheaper labor. Thanks to NAFTA and US President Bill Clinton, what we can do in manufacturing is pathetic compared to what Boomers were doing in the 1970s. Case in point, your grandmas refrigerator made in 1960 was still working when you got around to it 20 - 30 years later. I bought a refrigerator for my home in 2017, and it’s already had multiple problems, including shelves breaking, ice machine going out, and other parts not functioning.

No. Our current system punishes young people, and if you're a straight white male who is conservative, you are at the bottom of the totem pole.

What they did in the late 1960s - 1980s when many of them were still in power, was prove they were politically inept.

  7108. I worked many years for corporations. Unless you have certain connections and specific credentials (a Bachelors Degree in Business doesn’t cut it), you are basically expendable and any wrongdoing you do is liable to get you fired. Most corporations until you reach the General Manager level are a revolving door. I worked Dollar Tree for over five years and by the time I was let go I was one of three or four employees that lasted that long. Everybody else quit or was fired. Those at the corporate level for these companies get all the hefty paychecks, all the bonuses, all the benefits, all the opportunities. You receive certain perks that are not allowed to people under the corporate level. You won’t get replaced as quickly. It’s a system designed to benefit the rich and the elite and only them. Everybody else is forced to live paycheck to paycheck, work two jobs and hustle to fulfill basic necessities.

  7110. Modern movies are basically made for consumption, and consumption only. They're not trying to tell you a honest story. Because there is a group of investors and politically infested nitwits who are basically interested in selling propaganda. While not a superhero film, the movie Ghostbusters 2016 that starred a female cast told me everything I needed to know about the direction Hollywood was taking. As someone who loved the Christopher Reeve Superman movies, the original Star Wars trilogy, and the Keaton Batman films, this industry isn't as captivating as it once was. All MCU can seem to do is crank out the same films over and over and over. I've already seen the plot, I've already seen the fancy CGI, I've already seen the computer generated characters and set pieces. Scorsese doesn't resort to that. He's giving you a work of art. Whether that art makes you uncomfortable or not is besides the point. Older movies also knew and treated their audience with much more respect and class. With modern movies, I feel like I'm practically being lectured and told I need to think a certain way in order to fulfill something. There is quite a difference between the movies I grew up with in the 80s and early 90s, to the modern movies that have come out these past few years. I for one am grateful that I grew up in a time when Hollywood cinema was at a high point. It's certainly not as good as it used to be anymore. Especially not when they're taking IPs of the past and milking them until there is nothing left, with some forced diversity and gender swapping along the way.

  7111.  @MoSho23  I watched the Independent Film Channel for years. I'm a big anime and manga fan. I also think films out of western Europe are in many ways better than American films, but that's just me. Superhero movies now suck the same way western comic books suck. If you paid attention the last couple years, western comic book sales are in a sad decline. Too many forced agendas, wokeism being instilled into the storylines, and characters just being there because they fit a political perspective. And there is plenty of stuff from the 2000s, even the early 2010s, that I really enjoyed. There Will Be Blood. No Country For Old Men. Napoleon Dynamite. The list goes on... all films that I recommend to any avid movie goer. MCU was fine with the Iron Man trilogy, but since around 2015 or 2016 they have been steadily declining. It's not art if these films are just made to make money at the expense of everything. Every movie has to make money. I understand that. What I don't accept is when these films are basically manufactured to instill wokeism or some leftist political crap. You do some gender swapping, and there you go. That's your modern Hollywood today. Let's not forget that while there are good indie films, there's a lot of bad ones. Netflix is chock full of garbage that I've watched once and have no desire to see again. Plenty of indie films I find to be pretentious piles of garbage.
    1
  7112.  @MoSho23  Wokeism is NOT art. That’s leftist propaganda that has unfortunately infested Hollywood for the better part of a decade. I don’t support it at all. It sounds like to me that you’re trying to be an apologist for the multitudes of crap mainstream films and indies. There is good indie material if you look hard enough. I don’t consider the majority of Netflix’s material to be decent. It falls along the line of “how pretentious can I make my product for the viewers”? What I will say, is indie writers and directors are more willing to take risks. Hollywood in contrast is mostly concerned with blockbusters. The kind that you can take your little children to see because they aren’t old enough to comprehend anything beyond simplistic plots in superhero movies. Most of MCU’s material is garbage.

  7123. I noticed the extreme left social justice movement becoming mainstream back in 2011 when the Casey Anthony trial was going on. A completely worthless trial on some sick woman that became national news. Suddenly every other person in America was hooked on the trial, facts and truths became muddled in public bullshit. People argued to one another over differences, all over a stupid trial. A bit later in 2011, the US Congress was bitching over a debt ceiling. Vitriolic contempt was spread through that congressional floor. The leaders that we elected to look over America were failing us, because they couldn't agree. I remember very well that the 2012 US Presidential Elections kept millions of people separated, because so many of them were offended and butthurt over both Obama and Romney. Things were looking bleak for the future. The warning signs were already there a decade ago. Today in 2021, we have sunk even lower. It was then when I saw that people were becoming more butthurt and sensitive over shit. Sadly, this isn't limited to America, as much of the western world has adopted the same mentality. The UK leaving the European Union and all the bullshit that followed was more proof we were living in a snowflake culture. By 2010 - 2013, the mainstream media already had Americans as fish in a barrel. As somebody in my 30s one of my favorite shows when I was coming up in high school and college was The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He could make me laugh because politics in America was already a joke by then. Stephen Colbert was initially on The Daily Show before he went to have his own show The Colbert Report. Both shows on Comedy Central took the political news and made it funny, pointing at all the inconsistencies the politicians were blurting out. That was the mid - late 2000s. Nowadays, there are no good shows that are poking fun at politics the way that they did it. People would just look at stuff like that today and regard that as "much too offensive". Thanks to people like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Alex Jones, the media is a corporate behemoth that thrives on conflict. News reporting died a long time ago. The mainstream news media makes it top priority to spread propaganda bullshit and keep dullard Americans (and some people outside America as well) believing all these stories, when they are practically lies. Every time somebody gets butthurt and makes the news, the organizations profit from it. Conflict gives them money. The fact that so many people get offended over nothing has left my generation, the Millennials, largely shattered and divided. I understand that we are the guys that nobody really wants. We were the 'Me' generation, the narcissists, the ones who couldn't agree to disagree. Should we blame ourselves entirely? Not really, we grew up when the American economy was heading towards a recession, people lost their long time jobs and we kept shipping those jobs to China and elsewhere. Our sense of passion and strive is mediocre at best. But now in an era of oversensitivity and political correctness, our motivation and courage to push forward are worse now than ever before. I'm just sick of seeing people get offended every day. It has spilled into everything. I can't even walk into a GameStop anymore without there being some sort of conflict. We're teaching and indoctrinating our kids to hate each other in education. We are telling ourselves to keep separate from one another. All COVID-19 has done is make the already present issues even worse. It is becoming increasingly difficult to not ignore the rampant censorship and increasing sensitivity to anything remotely offensive sweeping across the Western world any longer, and the way these progressive, social-media outrage mobs bully, harass, mock, and ridicule anybody who doesn’t conform to their ideology. This even happens in sports. Major League Baseball made the decision to move the MLB All Star Game from Atlanta to Denver, Colorado, pissing off many long time baseball fans including myself. NBA sport stars like Lebron James have become more sensitive and vocal in virtually anything, further separating me from the sport I once enjoyed watching. The fans themselves have become more offended and sensitive. And I am so tired of it. And it’s equally hard to ignore the irony in how much this kind of strict social regimentation and aggressive oppression of any opposition/dissenting opinions resembles the tactics of some of history’s most extreme ideologies on the other side. Many people don’t even seem self-aware enough to recognize the fact that history is repeating itself, which is what is truly terrifying to me. Cancel culture is a cancer that is destroying everything. It's right there on this video. Where is that unity? Where are those liberties? Our liberties are being taken away as time goes on because we keep cooking up new ways to get offended on things that previously, we were just fine with. I predict in 10 - 20 years, we're going to be blocking the sun. That's if World War 3 hasn't already started by then.

  7125.  @Living_Dead_Girrl  Oh believe me, I remember that. The US military was going to these high school and college fairs back in 2003 - 2006 to get these kids to serve in the Iraq War. The entire war was fought under false pretenses and false hope. These kids didn't know anything, because they were too young and inexperienced. Those kids who are now in their mid 30s, my very peers that you and I both have. Nothing is being done. Nothing is being accomplished. These corporate scumbags to me are just another Bernie Madoff. A rich dude who took advantage of all the poor souls and ruined their entire livelihoods because he took away everything they worked for. There are plenty of people in America out there who are like him, but they aren't getting caught. The Financial Crisis of 2008 should of been a big wake up call. But we either turned a blind eye, or were subject to the system already, to the point where we could do nothing about it. It is quite clear that many of my brethren in their mid to late 30s are contemplating suicide. We indulged in sugary products and soft drinks and we now have diabetes at an early age. I worked at a Dollar Tree Warehouse back in 2012 to roughly 2014/early 2015. I was forced to work 55 - 60 hour weeks. Sometimes, I had to work seven days a week. What did I get for all that time being there? Nothing. I was treated like shit. I was treated like cattle. The managers couldn't give a fuck less. The turnover rate was so high it was ridiculous. Kids aged 18 to 24 years old who were already broken after three years or so of hard physical labor. I could get nothing done at home. That overtime pay was basically money I had to use to recuperate. And still, drinking all those Monster Energy shitstains, eating junk food just to get my sugar intake, and eat crap just to get enough calories to do a hard physical labor job took their toll on me. All the while, managers belittled me and told me I didn't work hard enough, despite the fact I was there for at least six days a week. My fellow peers who were approaching their late 20s and early 30s took to using meth. A good number of us were using meth to get by with this no progression job. Eventually, I was fired because my back was hurting. I couldn't keep up with the demands. Dollar Tree fired me and I could not get any unemployment. In the months afterwards, job recruiters turned me down for the simple fact that I was fired. The fucking system is a complete joke. Most of us would be lucky to reach the age of 60 years old, let alone 70 - 80 years of age. Bad health, low self esteem, my peers having suicidal tendencies, catching diabetes early in life and having no hope for the future. That 1980s/1990s nostalgia never looked more sweet and feelgood than it does now.

California is a lost cause. New York isn't faring much better. Oregon has seen a bunch of people move in from Cali and elsewhere. Our southern US border is out of control, too many illegal immigrants entering the country.

The fact of the matter is, most Millennials are suffering from some sort of debt. I know some of them in their mid 30s and it is unlikely they will ever pay back that college debt. Baby Boomers got lucky. So did Gen X. In my mind, September 11th, 2001 along with the Financial Crisis of 2007 - 2008 changed everything. The Housing Crash of 2007 really put a number on the Millennial generation. They couldn't afford even a cheap, run down house, they had to take out loans to pay for other expenses. My 69 year old dad was able to pay for a home back in 1976, his own money he got from working starting at age 16 while going to college full time. It is virtually unthinkable that Gen Z, who are around college age now, could even get an opportunity to have their own home in their early 20s, let alone afford it. Many Millennials in their mid - late 30s can barely look after their own kids. I'm talking people with only one or two kids, not multiple children. The Boomers ruined America, and I pretty much see that as a fact, not an opinion. Gen X was just lucky enough to take advantage of the jobs and careers the Boomers created. Millennials were unfortunately scrapped, and when 9/11 and later the Housing Crisis happened, the era of living a good life with a good flexible income is over. You need a Master's Degree to get anything halfway decent anymore. That of course, is going to cost you tens of thousands of dollars in college tuition. Something that most of my peers cannot afford, despite the fact they are in their mid - late 30s. Don't think that most Zoomers, who are barely 25 years old at most, are going to afford paying all the money to get a decent education in this country.

  7191.  @jamielives2483  You are still a Millennial. You were just a kid when you saw those commercials. Those who took full advantage of those commercials were Gen X, who were of working age back in the 1990s.
    1
  7192.  @ORIGINALCRESTED  I don't know what country you hail from but here in America, kids in the 1980s and 1990s were raised in a Baby Boomer economy. I was one of those kids growing up. We had a middle class structure where the Baby Boomer male was able to land jobs with promising careers and benefits once they finished their Bachelors Degree in their specified field. Today, you need a Masters Degree to get anything decent. Don't rely on having children if you are a single parent. They cost too much money and the rise of college tuition and job training has prevented many people from getting the education we need. Then we wonder why our American education system is in the dumps. Our economy forces us to work more for less. Jobs don't give near the benefits they did 25 - 30 years ago. Also, jobs are constantly being shipped overseas so corporations don't have to pay as much for employees. So you're left with a generation of 30 something year olds who are more lazy and useless than their parents were. Zoomers are basically walking in the footsteps of the Millennials. Both are equally screwed in the long run. The main difference I see is the fact that many Millennials had a far better childhood than the Zoomers have. Now we have Zoomers on Discord, Twitter and Instagram wishing to kill themselves, when they've barely experienced the real world. It's a truly sad situation that isn't going to get better anytime soon.

Tim Berners Lee didn't officially create the World Wide Web until 1989. So what do you do? I decided I will be moving out of the West, and start a new life somewhere else. The West is finished.

I’m 36 years old and I finally decided on a trade. I’m making more money than my girlfriend who has a Master’s Degree with student debt. As Millennials we were forced to believe colleges and Ivy League schools were the only path to be hugely successful and on top. This turned out to be a lie as I watched my peers accumulate more debt. These kids nowadays who are literally half my age are falling down the same rabbit hole we fell into over a decade ago. It’s not worth spending all that time in school just to have to pay off debt and be miserable.

It’s not the internet I enjoyed 20 years ago. Heck, not even the one 12 years ago. You paid one subscription, that was it. Now thanks to all these live-streaming services and so on you could pay 20 different subscriptions if you’re rich and willing enough. That’s not to mention these livestream services purposely leave a lot of media out so you pay subscriptions for the other media. You thought cable TV 10 - 15 years ago was bad? This is much worse.

To make up for traffic being one of the worst in the entire country, Seattle is forcefully pushing for their light rail program to expand to more areas. This is done at the taxpayers expense. Also, illegals have dominated the roads and now they're in their light rail stations, begging or asking for free stuff. Also, Seattle is pushing for cashless everywhere. I visited T Mobile Park last year, and found they no longer take cash. Everything is credit.

But they did, they fought with honor during WW2 and worked to the bone to give America greatness during the Post War Era. You can see it in their Hollywood entertainers. Jimmy Stewart. Henry Fonda. Orson Welles. Lucille Ball. Red Skelton. Gene Kelly. And a whole host of others. Sport icons too. Ted Williams. Joe DeMaggio. How we went from them to Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Lebron James and Aaron Rodgers is nothing short of tragedy and outright embarrassment.

  7324. Britney was brainwashed in her days with the Mickey Mouse club. On the surface, along with other kids of the time, she looked perfectly normal. But by the time 2007 rolled around, years after her mega hit "Hit Me Baby One More Time", it was clear she wasn't right in the head.

I predate him by about a decade, 1995 - 1996 was my first breath on the internet, back when we could truly say it was the real "Wild West". I used AOL, Netscape and Internet Explorer. That tells you how long I've been around. The problem I see is the internet has been sterilized. Gone are the days of surfing the web to find something interesting. Gone are the days of just chatting to some random dude on Yahoo chat, MSN or some other chat service. Google owns a lot of corporate influence on the internet much like Disney owns a lot of the media today. Google now forces you to read mainstream articles which are biased on both sides, yet they push the smaller guys who own and operate blog based websites that have their own views. Back then you could say a lot of what you wanted without any repercussions. Today on websites like YouTube what you say and do is heavily monitored and surveyed. I've seen many YouTubers in recent times get their videos demonetized because they swore. Between this and the 'woke' culture we live in, every other discussion being a heated debate on politics, there's a good reason why so many of us 'old' guys miss the old days of the internet.

  7400.  @Death_By_Rebirth  I imagine you were still technically a kid back when you started. But I feel as recently as the mid 2000s we could joke around and goof off like kids do without repercussions. To share a story with you, I honestly never cared about hacking. What attracted me to the internet all those years ago in the 1990s was learning about my favorite games. I think the first thing I ever did was look up information on DOOM, the iconic first person shooter id Software made that was headed by John Carmack and John Romero. Probably one of the first games to give people the idea of online multiplayer, and the modding community stretches back decades. Then I went and downloaded the shareware version of Duke Nukem 3D, in around 1996 - 1997. That was the 'Wild West' of the internet back then. Not knowing what you were going to find, seeing a mess of poorly designed, poorly colored websites because nobody knew how to fucking design websites back then. But there was no corporate influence at all. It was all about the user, and the computer geeks sharing a passion which was sharing information and designing websites online. The kid shown at the four minute mark in this video is a good representation of what the old days were. Now everything is streamlined. Google controls information. Twitter is a hellhole of spewing agendas and false truths. I can imagine to an extent, hacking was fun in the old days. It just ain't the same anymore.

  7485. ⁠​⁠ @catherinelw9365 The events of the Roaring Twenties led to the economic collapse of the Great Depression, as well as crime becoming more prevalent. No generation before or since was able to turn things around in a 15 - 20 year timespan. What were hard working men trying to conserve what they got were eventually driving new convertibles and living a lifespan akin to Leave it to Beaver. Every generation since has gotten slightly worse. Now we have Gen Z who get offended if you use pronouns incorrectly, while they brag about their legacy speedruns in video games like Metroid for the NES. When things collapse, they will take the brunt of it.

  7486.  @easytrips3448 That is true. Even Hollywood knew this. Just watched The Grapes of Wrath with Henry Fonda, which is about a poor family that travels to California in hopes of a better life after their homeland is ravaged by the Great Depression. Now it is not only our entertainment getting worse (Hollywood stopped being good long ago), our lifestyles are now just mindlessly consuming content while we sit on screens. We are not prepared for the upcoming collapse.

  7487. ⁠ @RS54321 Not as many people back then. 8+ billion people speak much louder than 3 billion people did in 1963. More people means more required shelter, more food needed, more crops, more income to support themselves, more resources needed to sustain human civilization. That is why despite people burning trash in oil drums, littering and smoking cigarettes like chimneys, everything seemed to be richer in resources.

People still need others, whether they want to admit to or not. I know people who are complete isolationists and only interact with the world thru the internet. That crafts a very cynical view of life and when coupled with 24/7 news organizations like MSNBC, Fox News or CNN, it makes for a recipe for disaster. Society cannot move on with most of their inhabitants are practically hermits in the wilderness. That accomplishes nothing.

That's why I want nothing to do with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. All those cancerous social media sites have done is separate, which is bringing out long term effects onto our society. I work at Costco so I do a lot of physical labor and actively help customers in the store. Over half of my co-workers look at their social media profiles on their iPhone 13 or Samsung smartphones, then complain that they didn't get the likes and views they wanted on their posts. Young people were definitely not taught to not care what many others think, and it is showing in our society with disastrous results.

The older women I know in my life did not grow up with or were influenced by social media. Women I work with in their early 20s are completely obsessed with social media, and they simply weren't taught to just back away and not care for someone else's opinion.

Really I just think periods like the late 1980’s to late 1990’s were a Golden Era that will never come back. For over 20 years now we’ve seen jobs remain stagnant and not actually train people to be productive. Instead they grab a bunch of diversity hires, a bunch of stuck up HR women, and a management team that is utterly clueless. Benefits have been slashed to hell and back too. I actually considered working in construction around 15 years ago, but the HR women I saw as well as the managers were enough to make me quit. Now it’s probably no better than working retail at Walmart and having the same useless HR and management run you into the ground.

The liberal media is largely responsible for the decline of good kids entertainment, which coincides well with the fact that our schools have been shoved more gender propaganda over the years.

Your generation brought in good music. You ushered in grunge music and classic gangsta rap, before it became watered down and dumbed down. Can't forget Adam Sandler and Will Farrell. Dave Chappelle too. He doesn't deserve all the criticism he's getting. You were the guys who knew when to step back and say "Who gives a flying fuck". Something that Millennials and Zoomers, for the most part, can't seem to understand. You may be referred to as the 'Forgotten Generation' nowadays, but growing up I was influenced by a lot of you guys. Your generation knew how to be laid back and be cool without being a sell out.

They were already demoralized, largely to do with poor childhoods but also because the Boomers resented them. Generation X was labeled the nothing generation. Talk shows in the 80’s/early 90’s were about ‘tough love’, an attitude propped up by Boomers to those younger than them. It is tragic that Gen Xers reaching 50 years old have had to suffer. And now their Zoomer children have given up hope on the American dream, which died long ago.

Completely different attitude as opposed to today. Your parents and grandparents also had more family gatherings. They weren’t just there to grab more food, there was a real social aspect to it that made being there worthwhile. This isn’t happening anymore. In recent times I’ve seen kids as young as four or five years old engaging with smartphone devices. They aren’t even engaging with each other, they are doing things entirely different from each other. This is the general direction that America has taken, and we are seeing the ugly that has come with it.

The big difference was the internet was much smaller when they were kids in the 90’s and early 2000’s. MrBeast never actually experienced the 90’s. So bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Steely Dan, Blink 182 and Red Hot Chili Peppers are probably foreign to him. We fell off a cliff when America decided to replace 90’s bands with garbage rappers like Future, Drake and 50 Cent. Bands now just do autotune and fail to understand even basic rhythms, beats and tunes like 90’s bands did.

Perpetuated by progressive politicians who cared for nothing but their bottom line. A number of these homelessness didn’t get there purely because of bad decisions. They got there because they were on the receiving end of the system they fell victim to. The state of mental health care in the United States is an absolute joke. San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, none of these cities are helping the homeless at all. They’re just driving them further into hopelessness, suicide, and a constant craving of drug addiction.

My Baby Boomer dad can tell me his schools were incompetent, but they at least tried to teach his generation to be responsible adults. We have young 18 - 22 year olds going around being political activists, when really I think the problem stems from their bad childhoods. I have a niece and nephew that I love a great deal. I try very hard at 36 years of age to take them outside and let them explore. This generation of kids are stuck in their houses playing electronic devices while being fed Monster energy drinks. That’s not parenting, that is neglect. I imagine most of these activists, including the ones who got Riley Gaines trapped in a room, probably had bad childhoods and never had any real role models.

Turns out it was a good decision, as Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath described. SF is just insane. I absolutely loved SF in the 80's and early 90's. Lots of culture, various ethnic groups, much cleaner streets, and of course the trolley. Everything has been taken away or altered and when I went there two years ago I just couldn't believe my eyes. I moved out of Cali, but I hope for the best people like you can advocate for positive changes.

  7600.  @pietrayday9915  Boomers created many of the issues we have today. Globalism, shipping manufacturing jobs overseas, bringing down career ladders, soaking up Social Security, as a generation I feel they have done more harm than good. Their parents, the WW2 generation, were brought up in a very unsafe America (the 1920’s), the politics and economics of that time brought in the Great Depression. The Boomers, in contrast, grew up on the TV watching shows like I Love Lucy, Ozzie & Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, all showcasing a largely fictionalized 1950’s America, the one that 80 year old people today largely miss and reminisce about. A portion of the 1960’s was this way, but the JFK assassination, the Civil Rights Act, the Vietnam War all brought strife and division. The Hippies came to existence during this period. Some of those Hippies are now the old men controlling many of the assets and properties we have in America. The Millennials and Zoomers will experience a great catastrophe, sooner or later. They arrived too late to take advantage of the 1980’s - 1990’s era American economy. The Gen Xers were too small of number and largely didn’t care about their future. They are just as broken as the Millennial and Zoomer generations are.

  7601. This predates the 1980's and 1990's. I say the 1950's and 1960's was when you were at school. By the time the 1980's hit there were a lot of passive entertainment venues. Walkman for music, cable television, arcade game centers. The Greatest Generation (born 1901 to 1927) didn't even have movies with sound. They had silent films, and theater, including vaudeville. Radio hadn't progressed enough to where it became commonplace in homes. The Silent Generation (born 1928 to 1945) had black and white movies and radio, notably Jack Benny, Orson Welles and other Old Hollywood entertainers. I'm assuming you're a Baby Boomer and you grew up in a rather conservative area.

  7603. You’re forgetting that the internet amplifies everything. Back in the Jim Crow era, blacks dealt with racism up close. There was nothing available for most of them to get their voices heard. People sat in their homes without internet access, and in the South, Jim Crow laws forced blacks to retire after a certain hour, and so forth. We have internet and multitudes of other resources, plus more research. Black Americans had NONE of that in the 1800s to mid 20th century. So yes, they did have it harder.

That's partly why cities like Philadelphia, Portland Oregon, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and others have a growing homeless problem. Most of these people whom are addicted to these life threatening drugs, while it takes years if not decades for cigarettes to do notable damage.

  7615. The Sharon Tate tragedy is still talked about. Admittedly, most of us were far too young to remember any of it, thus we were exposed to it via documentaries and such. It also proves that California has been in control of the narrative for a very long time. The housing crash of 2007 was largely started by California a few years earlier. They felt it before most anyone else did, and like with a lot of things, what starts in California will spread elsewhere. Hence is why I get angry whenever I hear ex-Californians moving in to other US states and changing their polices to resemble the authoritarian Democratic outlook their home state is known for. Just look at Nevada and Colorado now. Who knows where America would be today if the death penalty hadn't changed and Roe v Wade wasn't implemented. The coastal elites have been breathing fumes for far too long, and while I myself have lived in a number of flyover states, they simply don't have the power to go up against California nor the Northeastern Megalopolis. I can see 80 year olds saddened by what America has become, but happy they don't be around much longer. 5, 10, 15 years maybe, then they'll pass away from natural causes.

It’s always good to look at the classic works of Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin and several others for future studies. Even Johnny Carson, more so a legendary late night host than a full fledged comedian, could still make witty jokes and have the audience belly laughing. The far left has and will never fully comprehend comedy. Look at what happened to two countries in the mid to late 20th century.

  7640. One of my favorite old comedy teams is Laurel & Hardy. These men were clever, and used a sophisticated form of comedy that is generally regarded as a lost art. They came up in a time of Prohibition and the Great Depression. With all the suffering going on, people from America and the UK would watch these two guys at the movie theaters. Laurel & Hardy were comedy gold. Pretty amazing, when you think about how people couldn't buy alcohol because it was illegal, and were forced out of their jobs and homes because of the Depression. A lot of people may disregard Laurel & Hardy as far too old fashioned, but in my eyes they were perhaps the greatest comedy team to exist. Stan & Oliver were verbose and polite. The 1960s was the transition period, due to drastic cultural changes and values. In contrast, I enjoy modern comedy but when Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey became popular our culture already became narcissistic and "savage". However, these two guys still had standards. There are no standards today.

Part of my family came from Montana and Minnesota to California during the Great Depression. Looking at those old photos, it’s clear as day the men, including my grandfather looked more rugged. They had to be, because times were tough in the 1930s. Times are tough today in 2023. But the modern men have no backbone. I see 30 year old men who could easily pass as some 18 - 20 year old college kid, heck even highschool age. The jawline is less apparent. The average Baby Boomer male has more testosterone than the average Zoomer male.

Whatever traditional masculine values we had were being gutted when Baby Boomers started controlling the institutions. I wish our society would look at some of the heroic things the Greatest Generation and Silent Generation did for America. But sadly most all of them are long gone. Millennials and Zoomers will never even know the sacrifices those generations made. Baby Boomers starred a lot of these problems we see today. Prove me wrong.

  7654.  @ulibarriL  I didn't bring up porn, only to that other guy you were commenting to. I stumbled upon my Baby Boomer dad's VHS collection of porn and Playboy magazines growing up. In the 1990's this was your way of satisfying that itch. Today in 2023, young people are exposed to Onlyfans as well as countless porn sites. Combine that with the fact that many of us hold smartphones with instantaneous internet speeds and 24/7 around the clock access, and it's easy to see why kids are getting exposed to more porn from younger ages. All this to say that Matt Walsh himself is not exactly addressing the issue here. I was born in the mid 1980s and so was Matt Walsh. The decline of testosterone was happening before then. Porn as a whole is not the serious issue in regards to testosterone. The issue is more to do with microplastics being everywhere, as well as the chemicals put into modern foods that we stuff into our mouths every day. The global elites know exactly what they're doing.

And the Boomers just sit there on their retirement money ranting about whatever tickles their fancy.

Seattle, Portland, Chicago are all leftist hellscapes. One of my friends recently ran into some Antifa supporters in Portland, he had no choice but to leave. San Francisco is up there too, that's another hellscape. Orange County, Palm Springs and Pasadena probably aren't that bad.

  7676.  @Eric19877 That’s not to mention that our generation was heavily influenced by social media, particularly MySpace in the mid - late 2000’s. Our idea of a good television show is throwaway reality tv, complete with toilet humor, drama queens and fake relationships. Filmed in Los Angeles, where idiot directors and producers can drop us with the tip of a hat. Our college education was already subverted. I went to college, ended up with a bachelor’s degree in Business only to find it didn’t net me anything. I have earned more money from jobs that didn’t consider my business degree then those jobs that considered it. And now we have Gen Alpha, the kids my generation is raising, who are already turning into spoiled brats who lack any conception of reality. We believed in Santa Claus, but I wasn’t spoiled with hoards of gifts. I had to earn what I got. Now college is more expensive than ever, it’s more useless than ever, and our job market is filled top to bottom with diversity hires. Now I’m afraid to say anything for fear of being fired by HR department over a nonsensical comment. Our entire system needs to go.

  7688.  @sandpiperr  So what? Zoomers were brainwashed by their parents and teachers. The teachers can no longer discipline the kids at the schools because that is considered abuse. In reality, much of that discipline was to prepare the kids for the real world. Everybody likes to boast about their own generation being the best. Millennials especially, but I can tell you from experience that we’re not taking care of my own. COVID-19 has made everything worse. Millennials are usually the first ones to cry and bitch from their soapboxes, but don’t want to do much of anything to solve the problems. Our so called role models, like NBA superstars Lebron James and Stephen Curry, spend more time bitching on their Twitter accounts than they are working together to solve problems. This also applies to our singers like Rihanna and Chris Brown. We don’t want to take responsibility, and we have shown that time and time again. You lead by example, and the kids will follow. The Zoomer kids were no doubt influenced by us, and they’re even more self absorbed because of their obsession with social media. We were the first generation to be absorbed by social media. We were the pioneers of Facebook and Twitter, but the social media spectrum has gotten out of control. Every other person is now an addict. Social media is to this generation what alcohol, crack and cocaine were to older generations. We need to stop throwing Baby Boomers under the bus for everything and actually make positive changes so future generations can have a bright world to look forward. This constant need to shove the current political landscape to apply to everything solves nothing. Sitting around crying about how COVID-19 ruined your life solves nothing. This nonsense talk about global warming posing a serious threat for our kids solves nothing. The truth is Earth is approaching warmer temperatures while our ice caps melt. This is going to significantly impact future generations to where they will have to come up with alternatives for something as simple as basic gardening. I hate a lot of my own peers. We constantly talk but do little to take action. Our childhoods in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were marked by our parents constantly giving us stuff, so many of us don’t know the real meaning of hard work. I say this from experience. If we want to invoke changes, we need to change our attitude. I expect things to get worse before they get better.

Today I get only corporate run websites, and bot generated websites that no rational person is going to stick around using.

  7719. @Riven326 Glad to see someone in my age group think the same way I do. We felt 9/11, then in the years after, tried to joke off things as we spent our teen years playing Xbox and PlayStation 2. I got my first job in 2003 and at the time, America just entered the Iraq War and the hunt for Hussein was underway. Our strength is computer technology and the internet. Unfortunately many of us are using these things to try to propagandize to our peers and to our Gen Z youngsters. San Francisco is full of Millennial guides and teachers who are using Marxist ideas to bring up the young. Zoom sessions feel more like a glorified echo chamber than a classroom full of students expressing different perspectives. This goes completely against the ideals and philosophies of the Greatest Generation and Silent Generation. I'm a history major so I've gone and read a bit about the older generations. If Boomers helped Millennials become more narcissistic and egotistical, Millennials are doing the same thing with Zoomers and Gen Alphas. No real life skills. Self centered. Morally corrupt. Responds with emotion rather than rational thinking. Gen Xers are the odd man out. Already too old to spend a lot of time trying to make things better, but also not caring of the so called generational wars. Still, I feel they are partly responsible for bringing up Zoomers, and that the family structure isn't an ideal way of life.

Anyone who has watched television shows like Beavis n Butthead, The Simpsons, Ren n’ Stimpy and so forth knew it was outright mocking old traditional Hollywood shows like Leave it to Beaver and Andy Griffith. The Greatest Generation and Silent Generation absolutely hated the 90’s programming that was catered towards kids, and especially stuff targeting teens and young adults.

  7747.  @History_Coffee  I’m in the same boat as you. Neither the Boomers nor the Gen Xers taught us this at all. As an elder Millennial myself born in the early 1980’s, my generation has a laundry list of problems, including mental ones. Gen Z is getting all the abuse now because they’re much younger and it’s profitable for the media to cover them, when virtually just about all their problems they have right now were experienced by us long before them.

  7748.  @casper6741  What you're describing has been happening for over 50 years, since the late 1960s at least. There was a feminist movement in the 1970s that encouraged women to think for themselves and not rely on men for their goals. A number of Hollywood produced TV shows focused on this mindset. A complete 180 from the old vintage shows like Father Knows Best, Ozzie & Harriet that taught audiences that the family unit was important. The 1950s - early 1960s also being the prime of the nuclear family, stemmed from the Cold War and the threat of nuclear warfare. The point being, back then it was much easier to work for a union coming off a high school education, get a woman to marry you and have kids. Nowadays that is no longer possible. Universities such as Berkeley are teaching young women that feminism is the right path. They are taught that they need to set very high standards that men must meet, or else they are expendable. The result is this has left the Millennial and Zoomer generations largely in disrepair. Many of these issues were also apparent with Gen Xers, but their generation in contrast was not raised on social media. They were the last "analog" generation, before the internet was a thing. I pity the young 20, 30 something women of today who hold feminism in high regard. And I sympathize with the young 20, 30 something men who have already thrown in the towel and are trying to forge an existence in self isolation by playing video games and going to the gym to keep up in shape. This world sucks.

  7754.  @bveracka  I've seen the declining public schools, and to be honest they're probably not worth the trouble anymore. Granted some of the schools have good teachers, but they're beholden by the system. LGBTQ shouldn't be taught at the elementary school level, I'm sorry but that's unacceptable. I look at kids on TikTok in their late teens and early 20s and I see they are simply brainwashed. Another big problem is it's simply more expensive now to have children. Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and even the early Millennials didn't have this issue. That's not to mention wages not keeping up with rising inflation costs and real estate is absolutely ridiculous now. I'm in my mid 30s and I've given up on owning a home anytime soon, because the payments you have to make are completely unreasonable for the income you make. It sucks, and I really wish things will start changing for the better.

  7772. I still think too many people in their 70s, 80s and 90s idolize the 1950s and 1960s as if it were some sort of high point for America. It was a great time to be an American and all that. If you mostly remember the 50s and 60s through 'fake' television shows like I Love Lucy, Leave it To Beaver, Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, The Honeymooners, Father Knows Best, Ozzie & Harriet, Dick Van Dyke, Beverly Hillbillies, etc etc etc, you have no concept of what the 50s and 60s were really like. The 50s had McCarthyism, the Red Scare, and intense events like the Rosa Parks incident. The 60s was defined by the British Invasion, drugs, Rock 'n' Roll, Flower Power, Vietnam War, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights Movement, and perhaps most tragically the assassination of JFK. Whenever I hear an old person talk about how great this time period was they are basically looking at it thru rose tinted goggles. I think the thinking behind the 1950s being the 'American Decade' is entirely false. The economy was prosperous and for the average man they could make a good living off of working at a factory or assembly line. Speaking as a Millennial, you ultimately become a product of your time and the environment you were raised in. Melvin was no different.

  7773.  @crangismcbasketball8440  America has been in decline for a long time. Jobs becoming more scarce, Millennials and Zoomers respectively having to work two jobs to make ends meet, the list goes on. Still, to say the 1950s and 1960s were awesome and pure is basically looking at that era with rose tinted goggles. What this old guy said back in 1989 deserves respect because he was telling you what was happening. A lot of older Americans still view the 1950s like Leave it to Beaver. A functional middle class family. A kid named Beaver who occasionally gets into hot water. An older brother who is a good role model. A father who brings home the money. A mother who is caring and sincere, complete with 1950s era clothing and aesthetic. A good looking American style home complete with white picket fence. The reality was far more grim than that.

The internet was primarily a place for nerds and geeks. The web was accessed thru old dial up internet service, and malicious viruses attached to e-mails was a common thing. Kids back in the 1990’s had to put more effort into accessing the internet, and the virtual space itself was niche. Now it is so full blown mainstream that your 80 year old grandparents are using it, seeing the same toxicity as the 13 year old teen who shouldn’t be on social media is seeing it. The old internet was better.

The orcs invaded thru a portal that Medivh, a human warlock, basically opened. Despite the flaws, the old Blizzard titles were awesome.

  7801.  @bobbywoods684  I don't let abusive family matters get in my way. In fact over the past decade I've had to cut strings from a few people I once trusted. It's unfortunate, but you have to do so if you don't want to be surrounded by negativity. You are aware that things are much more politicized now in contrast to even 10 - 20 years ago. I was living in a college dorm 20 years ago and we did not dwell over politics. We were basically apolitical. We were having fun because we were in our early 20's. Now at 38, soon to be 39, my options for women are cat women, who are antisocial, and women who have been used up by numerous guys. Of course I could go for someone much younger, but because of the age difference I may not be able to relate with a lot of things. With inflation and all the financial issues that have taken hold over our nation, many of us are just trying to survive. People don't become homeless voluntarily. Living in a car is a big step up but it's not much better. All this to say that most of us just want families and a home. That's it, but the barriers are high and most of us have to take down two jobs just to make ends meet. It's not uncommon for the man and woman to work long hard hours just to pay for the lights.

  7852. Same thing is happening to the United States man. Seems like the USA and UK are both going down the drain in tandem. That is not a coincidence, the reason they are both going down is because the same globalist forces are working to keep us miserable and poor. If you have seen old footage from the mid - late 20th century you could see how much better things were economically. Carl here at Lotus Eaters (aka Sargon) did a video for the premium subscribers of the website which showcased 1940's era London, which looked absolutely beautiful. Most of the buildings and areas seen in that old footage are now either derelict, or in bad shape. White collar suits today just look at old infrastructure that a past generation built and consider it too costly and too time consuming to bother maintaining, despite the fact they have hoards of wealth at their leisure. And as someone who grew up in the late 80's to 90's, much of the fun stuff that existed when I was a kid is completely gone now. Kids now hide behind tablets and computer screens instead of actually going outside and doing things. There is far more surveillance on the kids now in contrast to 35 - 40 years ago when kids had far more freedom. You can't hang out in the forest anymore, a predator (human being) might be in waiting. Can't meet kids in person by other kids, that's too dangerous. We had play areas in fast food restaurants like McDonalds, then someone decided it was too unsanitary for kids to be playing with a bunch of balls and they could get sick. Unbelievable.

The writing was better and most of the time it wasn’t done by a bunch of pretentious losers stroking their narcissism. The worst was stuff like Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from baseball, Magic Johnson retiring in 1991, and the 1994 baseball strike.

  7864.  @AJHart-eg1ys  What position were you? MiLB is still a level most people won’t reach. I played as an outfielder in junior varsity highschool, that was for kids who were less skilled than regular varsity. I never had the necessary skills to reach college level baseball, let alone single A ball which was an entire tier above that. I was a baseball kid television viewer in the late 80’s and onward. I remember Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield, George Brett (pine tar incident was a little before my time), Ken Griffey Jr & Sr combo, pre-steroids Barry Bonds, the Bomber Brothers (Mark McGwire & Dave Canseco), Ozzie Smith, Darryl Strawberry and Vince Coleman. Of course you can’t leave out commentators Vin Scully and Joe Garigiola. Always hated Howard Cosell, his craft was American Football, not baseball. Recently just learned that he was a boxing career, and was credited for helping and defending Muhammad Ali’s views on politics.

  7865.  @AJHart-eg1ys  I only know about the Norman Lear stuff because my parents loved it. I don’t know if Lear himself did Sanford & Son, since that was on a rival network in contrast to All in the Family. Both of these shows were actually American adaptations of British sitcoms. The British Invasion, according to my parents, was still ongoing into the early 1970’s. But, if you grew up in my era, chances are you never knew All in the Family unless you had cable TV and caught Nick at Nite, because kids watched Nickelodeon when it was in its prime. All in the Family was probably too “new”, since Nick at Nite originally aired vintage black and white shows like I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver, Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. The Brady Bunch was the last of the great, innocent “kid breaking neighbor’s window” sitcoms before All in the Family broke the TV standards. Johnny Carson got his initial fame in New York. What I recently learned is when The Tonight Show moved to Hollywood, other talk shows like Dick Cavett stayed in New York. Certain performers like Woody Allen highly preferred New York. Bill Cosby actually filmed his hit 80’s sitcom entirely in New York City, because he hated dealing with the Hollywood crowd.

  7866. I don't think these guys are trying to entirely dwell in nostalgia. They still have to commute and go out in the real world to do some things, even if everything they buy is online. I'm not as much knowledgeable on Thatcher as I am on Reagan, but from what I've gathered from older people, illegals were mostly people either seeking refuge, or trying to earn more money. The current agenda is sending aliens all across the UK and US, including countrysides that were peaceful only to have them ruined by these invaders. That is not remotely the same thing as some mother and child who escaped tyranny to seek shelter in a first world country, even if they got in illegally. All of this is deliberate. Everything from new apartments having horrible depressing colors to the system denying young white men amble opportunities to begin families has been propped up by the global elite.

Outside of predators you mostly found in old Yahoo chat rooms and worms you might get via e-mails, the old internet was more relaxed and easy going. Today the internet is fully mainstream, meaning there are far more predators and people looking to grift. I would not let any children on the internet at this point, as things like TikTok and Instagram easily corrupt them.

  7881. So you're basically saying Scorsese has done nothing noteworthy in his life besides Casino, which had strong acting from the likes of Robert de Niro and Joe Pesci. You didn't even bother to mention The Goodfellas, which is in my opinion one of the truly great mobster films. If Scorsese's work and style doesn't suit your tastes, that's perfectly fine. I'm not the biggest fan of him either and I think some of his later films have basically "missed the mark". But to come out and claim that these Marvel movies are better than anything Scorsese could make if he tried to make a PG-13 film is just pathetic. That's like saying Spike Lee couldn't make a PG or PG-13 movie. Quentin Tarantino should try to make a film with less violence and cussing. He's made his share of bad films with a R rating. You Marvel fanboys and fans can't accept fucking criticism. Scorsese probably isn't a fan of Marvel movies, and I don't think he ever was. Why should that matter to you?

  7882.  @russwaddel08  You can't compare what Will Smith just did at the Oscars to the utter drivel you're posting regarding mainstream movies using the word FUCK. Those are two entirely different scenarios. You might as well start comparing apples to oranges. Violence, sex, crime and drugs have been a part of movies for least 50 years. I'm saying 50 years because that was when the restrictions and censors were truly off. Pulp Fiction is in my top 10 films of all time. Tons of cursing, violence, sex and crime. None of that detracts from the film. Quentin Tarantino did a great job with the movie. But no. Let's take The Wolf of Wall Street, that I saw as highly overrated, and bash it because it has sex, crime, violence and usage of the word 'FUCK' every few sentences instead of criticizing the casting, script and storyline. Was The Sopranos too violent for you? You're a Marvel fanboy. And yes, I fully understand why it appeals to a lot of kids. I was one of those kids growing up. But you're so closed minded you refuse to go beyond the Marvel universe. And don't get me started on stupid "DC is better than Marvel", "Marvel is better than DC" arguments. You are both in the same melting pot. You are both equal and run parallel.

    1
  7886.  @UncleTravelingMatt2  The generation spans from the 1900s to the 1920s. John Wayne was part of the Greatest Generation. I get that he was a Hollywood movie star and celebrity but that’s besides the point. He witnessed the 1920s in its entirety, and that decade was filled with torment and despair. The Great Depression followed by the Dust Bowl added more despair. The generation that came before them, the one that Charlie Chaplin and Franklin D Roosevelt fall into, witnessed World War 1. Many of their siblings did not make it to adulthood due to poor health and a general lack of medical care. They were born during the Industrial Revolution. Both of these generations experienced many hardships. The Greatest Generation got its name due to their role in World War 2, they made up the bulk of American and British soldiers. They deserve massive praise and respect, even when there’s barely any of them left anymore due to old age. I cannot say the same for Millennials or Zoomers. I can’t say the same for Boomers or Gen Xers either.

The ugly architecture is another reflection of this. They purposely took out the comfort seats, lounge chairs and cushions and replaced them with cheap seats that are uncomfortable. Everything is open and there is no privacy no matter where you eat. Modern movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Marvel are basically made to push propoganda. As if our lives can't get worse because we're heading towards a future where you will own nothing and not be happy about it.

  7912.  @ricker024  100% true. I’ll be close to 40 and I’m still having to live with a couple others to pay for expenses. When previously, a college degree was essentially a ticket to a middle class lifestyle, complete with home, family and a steady job. That’s all been sucked away, and around me I see homeless people, addicts and those who were middle class struggling to pay bills. It’s a sad world that will get worse unless things start changing for the better. That will require the current leadership and establishment to collapse.

  7924. Sowell at 2:17 makes mention of a graduating senior in school in California. Instead of properly saying what the Vietnam War was, the student says it was about North and South Korea. California schools consistently rank among the lowest in the entire country. My father was telling me the schools were getting bad as far back as the 1960’s and 1970’s. Another person was telling me that by the late 1970’s, California schools were well behind schools in other states when it came to curriculum like math. My father also told me California adopted a ‘New Math’ system sometime in the 1960’s, and it was a major disaster. None of these problems are new. Sowell making this statement back in 1993 is proof of this.

  7957.  @timl9724  This reminds me of California. I’m a baseball buff and amateur historian. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams both came from California, both served in WW2. Even well in the 1980’s and 1990’s, in their twilight years, DiMaggio and Williams were wonderful gentleman who were great to listen to and were great at asking questions. In California today, the Marxists have complete control of the education system. My generation has loads of guys with blue hair, are basically beta males, and are regularly discriminated against by their female peers. The average 35 year old Millennial woman from California and practically all ‘blue’ parts of the USA is fully indoctrinated. In interviews, many of the old Hollywood actresses who were born and grew up in California were humble and educated. California was one of the first states to get indoctrinated. Your average Hollywood actress, is stupid, is incapable of critical thinking, and is incompetent at providing for a family, much less herself. As Hollywood is collapsing, these problems are becoming much more apparent. The average Millennial is up a creek without a paddle.

We were handed 90’s cable television, VHS tapes, Nintendo consoles, small compact CRT TVs, CD music players, Windows 95 computer systems, and legacy dial-up internet. All of these resulted in short form content. We were changing TV channels at a rate previous generations only dreamed about. The problem has become consistently worse. I can acknowledge that I may be part of the problem because I get some of my entertainment from YouTube shorts these days, which does little but shorten our already low attention spans.

  7994.  @joet7136  I spent countless hours playing Warcraft 3. It was a change of pace storywise but I loved the story of Thrall and the man who would eventually turn into The Lich King. Hours and hours I read the lore and the books. Blizzard is now a shell of its former self and it doesn't care how many people give in to the pressure. It sickens me and my 17 year old teenage self that played WoW when it released would of never imagined it would come to this point.

  7995.  @HomoAlone1  Same. I spent so many hours playing Diablo 2. It was shown at Costco during the early 2000s and they couldn't keep up with restocking the tables. A bunch of people every day bought the game to install the CD-ROM disc on their computers at home. It was a different time and a different era. I hate Blizzard now. Diablo 3 was the last halfway decent game they made, and when they held their Blizz Con for Diablo Immortal in 2018 I was completely done with them.

They had to go thru a long process of being admitted into the States, and even longer to be recognized as citizens. These illegals are not Americans and none of them care for our Constitution. It boils my blood to see what is happening. The hard work and effort my grandparents did feels for naught when illegals just invade and don’t care for our laws.

Maybe you have a better understanding than me on why so many Millennials and Zoomers are overly emotional. They are why edgy jokes and politically incorrect humor are both dead.

  8014.  @lettingitgo  My grandmother told me she saw a good number of housewives back in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. What you’re referring to is likely the second wave feminism movement that started into the late 1960’s and spilled well into the 1970’s. Gloria Steinem is garbage.

Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and several others. Great plans, which are basically hypothetically perfect but out of touch with the common person. Zuckerberg's Metaverse is one example out of many. But it's clear that these people don't care about you or me and they never will. Power, money and influence are what they're after. Bezos has deep pockets with deep connections. If we want to enact a positive change, then more of us need to get out there and start fighting. Only seeing a few men and women trying to do that isn't enough. It's going to take an entire generation of people to fight back against the authoritarians, and you know as well as I do that will be an uphill battle from start to finish.

  8025. There’s a reason more people are taking Uncle Ted’s quotes seriously. If you really want to break things down, it’s one generation losing out to the younger ones. Boomers are fading away, to be replaced by mindless Gen Z and Gen Alpha imbeciles that will have drones deliver pizza while they waste thousands of hours on Fortnite. That is not the reality I wish to live in.

  8031. The rot was already settling in LA back in the 80’s and 90’s. South Central was a terrible place to be. Looking back, I actually think Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, NWA and Eazy E helped amplify the crime wave in SoCal during the late 80’s, early 90’s. That’s when the Rodney King trials and ensuing LA Riots took place. Two years later, America would be swamped with news regarding OJ Simpson driving slow on the freeway, and suspected of murder. LA was never a safe haven, but old people like to tell me it was a lot more beautiful and more desirable several decades ago.

  8032. What we’re seeing today is an evolution of what happened with feminists back then. This didn’t happen overnight.

  8033.  @idnintel  Because everything worked better back then. Even 90’s gangster rap which was openly anti-White in much of its overall message was still more intact, deep and real than anything coming out today. Like him or hate him, 2Pac was the real deal who spoke the truth about what was going on. Our entertainment and media aren’t worth the time anymore. I automatically tune out the garbage and listen to my 90’s music playlist. Makes my rigorous life more bearable.

  8034.  @harveywilkinson2432 So you proceed to shoot down her points with your drivel? I’ve gone thru the public school system and I can tell you it is garbage. Rarely do the subjects kids learn there actually apply to the real world. Books are often outdated, and unfortunately the rise of LGBT politics has led to more inappropriate books being taught to kids who are pre adolescent. If you can provide a proper counter point, by all means do so. Otherwise leave these homeschooling parents alone.

But when ‘O’ came along, suddenly it was taboo to criticize him, mock him, or challenge his administration on practically anything. The Left’s current gaslighting campaign started with him. Suddenly it was deemed racist to challenge him because he happens to be Black. The D’s were both using cop outs and gaslighting to achieve their ends.

Especially if you came up in the middle class system like I did. Now it's just the rich versus the poor, as idiots like Mark Zuckerberg continue to spew their progressive politics.

  8093. I'm a Millennial and things are even worse for us. We cannot invent or create anything new. My generation is largely composed of manchildren who cry on Twitter or Instagram the moment something doesn't go their way. Your grandparents generation dealt with World War 2, race riots, diseases like polio, mandatory US military service (if you were drafted), far less protection at the workplace (no hearing protection, safety googles and so forth), etc. Yet they were stronger mentally, had a purpose, believed in Christanity, cared about their communities instead of just themselves, and aspired to have their children grow up and 'pass the torch'. Now we have a small percentage of Baby Boomers who control our institutions and our media, who refuse to retire, while the rest of us, including Gen Xers, Millennials and Zoomers are just scraping by to pay their bills, put food on the table, and hope our boss at work doesn't fire us for something nonsensical. Instead of Ozzie & Harriet like families we have angry feminists, who make it next to impossible to have any family at all. As someone pushing 40 years old, I've basically thrown in the towel on modern women. Let them live in their socialist cities by themselves with a hundred cats by their side.

  8138. Those days are over. The late 1940s to perhaps the 1970s was when whites had the whip hand, because America remained untouched during the WW2 years and thus the result was an overly prosperous, blooming economy. This in turn generated the Baby Boomers. They resented their Greatest Generation parents by breaking away from tradition and holding to the notion that they couldn't trust anyone over 30. There were inklings of Silent Generation rebels who largely made up the Beatniks, a group that was counter culture with San Francisco being one of the hotspots. Then the 1960s came along and the Hippies cranked up the counter culture up a few dials and destroyed many traditional values. Boomers raised the Millennials to be maligned narcissists.

  8149. I am thinking of moving to the Philippines because America has become so insane it's unbearable to watch. I'm a mixed straight male, with Filipino ancestry. I would be going back to where my ancestors came from, particularly where my mothers parents grew up who both saw the atrocities of WW2. Countries like the Philippines that have had a general lack of western culture influence at least in regards to politics seem to be doing much better than most of the West. Poland or Romania are other options I'm weighing, because they were east of the Iron Curtain and thus are far more critical of Marxist, Communist agendas than those countries in western Europe. One of my friends I talk to every now and then visited Romania and the people there were much more friendly than the people he knows back in New York State. If you want an experience that is more reminiscent with what Americans in the 1960s experienced, countries like the Philippines and Romania are your best bet. The West is pretty much finished.

  8155.  @robertopettyo7147  Because you guys had actual job benefits and you could afford a home with wife and children back in the 1980s. The middle class structure that your generation largely contributed towards was happier because the quality of life was better. You can see this in old TV shows, movies and commercials of this era. Today, Zoomers are lucky to scrape by with two jobs while living paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile the various university degrees have largely been made useless. Combine that with the nihilistic attitude of a lot of Zoomers and you got a recipe for disaster.

Maybe the 1970s if you like to stretch things a bit, but it was definitely apparent there was a decline starting in the Ronald Reagan Administration. He taxed the poor and working classes while the rich got tax breaks. He dismantled mental health institutions and created 'Reaganomics'. There is a group of older people in my area who are in their 70s, a couple of whom are in their 80s, and they all tell me life was much better for the working middle class in the 1970s. None of these kids were alive, and neither were the Millennials. Because of how much power the 1 percent has, I don't see things changing for the better any time soon.

As I approach 40 years old, I’m getting just a mere fraction of what my parents got back in the 1980’s and 1990’s. That’s not jealously or envy, it’s just our system is collapsing. We’re getting homes and becoming fathers far later in life than past generations. If you’re already single and you’re struggling, then I suggest simply not having kids. There’s enough suffering out here already. I’ve worked multiple jobs, never lied or stole only to be given the slip. Then I work another job just to be given the same treatment. Working two jobs simply isn’t enough. Something has to give sooner or later. I don’t know what that is, but I know it’s not going to be pretty.

There were some pretty awesome looking YouTube channels that I remember. 2013 and 2014 was when Google Plus came around and said "fuck your profiles". That was when YouTube basically forced everyone to stick to the same generic page, with only a banner to distinguish your own channel.

  8231.  @dennisweidner288  Because he would. I look at old 1970's comedy like Fawlty Towers and I just feel a tinge of sadness. The UK was on top in the 1960s/1970s, with The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Queen leading the world in Rock music. Meanwhile the UK was giving us comedy greats in Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. America was so impressed with British comedy the shows All in the Family and Sanford & Son were both American adaptations of successful and influential British sitcoms. Now look at the UK and the USA today. They make my heart break.
    1
  8232.  @dennisweidner288  Fawlty had John Cleese, who would go on to have a successful career in show business. I knew Cleese from his guest appearance on The Muppet Show, which was made and produced in the UK. Americans got the show thru syndication. The Muppet Show had American performers such as George Burns, Bob Hope (who was born in Britain, but moved to the United States very early in his life) and Johnny Cash, among others. The Muppet Movie again had Burns and Hope as well as other celebrities from Hollywood. Mark Hamill guest starred in his Luke Skywalker costume. America was greatly influenced by The British Invasion of the 1960’s, and this trickled down to sitcoms and films. You don’t see this influence anymore, at least not anything decent. The UK has been suppressed, for lack of a better term.

It's no wonder my Zoomer co-workers are all single and happy just being alone.

The woke idea may be fairly new, but the education system failing the kids is nothing new. As someone who attended middle - high school back in the late 90s and early 2000s, things were already getting pretty bad. I learned a lot more in training for my specific job field than I ever did in high school. The K thru 12 grade system is an absolute joke. Granted, you don’t really discover your true self until college. However, the colleges are really starting to fail as well. Watch how Disney is trying to instill woke nonsense into the children that this same YouTube channel posted. It’s scary.

I became a ‘senior member’ after just three years or so because the workplace was a revolving door. I was let go due to being paid higher than my colleagues and I was let go because I was tardy by two minutes clocking into their system. This was an all physical job. The upper management just handled paperwork and got paid a lot more, for essentially doing nothing.

But as someone who did, I knew the system was already bad back in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. I was thankful to have some oldschool teachers back then who cared about educating the kids, and weren’t going to let idiot administrators ruin their craft. I’ve spoken to plenty of people his age who had alcoholic fathers, absent parents, and relentless bullies at the schools. There’s no question that Millennials were shafted, our public school experience wasn’t as good as past generations. They are just now starting a home, because the economy has made it very difficult for young people to successfully start a middle class lifestyle.

  8286.  @Maxrepfitgm  Those grandparents never asked for this. The WW2 generation faced serious struggles early in life, due to world events like the Great Depression. The Spanish Flu of 1919 wiped out tens of millions of people across the planet. What you have is a man who has been privileged his entire 79 years of existence. And no, I don’t want to hear people say he had to struggle to fight his way to the top. He bought and conned his way there thru his connections, and the fact that he despises the leftist agenda. If this man had a good father and actually earned his right to patriotism, as the soldiers of Normandy experienced in 1944, he wouldn’t be the arrogant, cult of personality man that he is.

It’s the people behind the scenes in Hollywood and elsewhere pulling the strings and exploiting these minors for their own gain. Michael Jackson just happened to be on the scene decades earlier.

The 1980’s was the last generation to have some of these values, because those old timers, while they were in their twilight years, were still around giving younger people advice. By the 1990’s these values were tossed into the bin. And basically every other celebrity, including Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant (RIP), Barry Bonds, Tom Cruise and countless others have been shafted, abused and manipulated. Even as a regular nobody, I have given up. After three failed relationships it’s not even worth the time and money for me to marry. At my age it’s women with cats, who will turn on me the moment I get within kissing distance.

  8313.  @GainingDespair  Where you are coming from and where you’re getting your ideas comes from an era when the “old internet” was just starting to enter homes. I’m older than you and I remember perfectly well how the old internet worked. It was never meant to be consumed excessively. Most of the people on it were computer geeks and nerds who were interested in the computer tech. I remember going on Windows 95/98, hearing that old dial-up sound, and finally connecting to the internet. Netscape was our internet browser. I never spent more than one hour on any particular day using the internet. At most I would access only a dozen websites. But every website was an experience. It was the perfect retreat and the old internet was like the Wild West. No shame. Nothing apologetic. Real and honest. Far more genuine. People under the age of 30 have no understanding of what the old internet was like. Modern internet is essentially a corporate wasteland. Processing information has never been easier than right now. But young people, by and large, have been subject to information overload, which was greatly resulted in their depression.

  8319. Gen Z never had a chance until very recently. As a Millennial we need to realize that they are closer to us then the Baby Boomers or any other generation ever were. Gen Xers I would argue never gave a crap anyway. They were tossed out by their Boomer overlords and forced to fend for themselves, which is where the term “latchkey kid” stems from. Both of our generations got shafted. Soon it will be Gen Alpha’s turn to take the slop. But it doesn’t have to be this way. More of us need to actually come together and figure out how can we sustain a better future not just for ourselves, but also for our children.

  8320. Very sad indeed. Your great-grandfather was witness to a lot of key events in 20th century history. The unfortunate truth is most of these people ushering the communists in (and advocating for socialism) are young 20 and 30 something year olds who have no recollection of communism. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, which was before their time.

It was as casual as relationships go. But no smartphones, no Wi-Fi, it forced us to entertain ourselves in more creative ways.

We can blame the Boomers for a great many things, but I am absolutely appalled at how narcissistic and hateful the younger generations are. What’s ironic is they did not have the abuse and suffering older generations did, especially the Greatest Generation. Every other person in this generation starts a YouTube podcast and says the most irrational, disrespectful nonsense possible. It’s completely normalized, and it’s this same attitude that’s driving these pride flag waving losers. I hate them.

But 20 years after Reagan’s death and the western entertainment industry all controlled by the left, there’s just no point. Kid Rock and Hogan are both has beens. Kid Rock used to be a rapper with more left leaning views, then he realized he could win people by turning over to the right by going country. Hogan is from South California and his Republican views bar him from doing most anything in Hollywood. Never mind that he is old and a shell of his former self. We lost folks.

And it was right at this time when western cartoons took a nosedive.

  8366.  @anamarte7547  It won't end until the Boomers do die off. In my mind they are holding us back. I'm just tired of all the depression, anxiety, guilt and autism spasm attacks Millennials like to inflict on others and on themselves, but it's the cold truth. I'm in my mid 30s, and I've already seen the worst of my generation. My 37 year old cousin had to move back in with his dad for a while because he couldn't hold on to his house. He does work on installing doors for a living, and while he enjoys his work he's not getting the money he deserves. The Boomers took advantage of a booming economy decades ago, and left us younger folk fending for the scraps left on the table. The Zoomers are already repeating what we did a decade ago. And they're falling in the same traps that we did. We should be looking forward to positive change and crafting a better future for future generations to reside in. But until drastic change happens, I think things will continue to get worse. Joe Biden's ever declining approval rate as US President should be telling enough for most of us.

  8377. We already lost. If Millennials marked the start, it's too late. If the Baby Boomers were the last generation to truly reap in the rewards and freedoms, the Greatest Generation was the one who put them there. The Millennials were born in the 'Baby Boomer' economy, but once the Boomers took control of the government in the late 90s, early 2000s, everything started going downhill from there. Now we have reached a level of incompetence and over sensitivity we wouldn't of dreamed possible just 10 - 15 years ago. It used to be so much fun browsing the internet when you actually had to use a desktop to access it. The process we had to go thru just to get online filtered out a lot of the assholes and morons. We can thank the Baby Boomers for creating the internet. However, the internet is now a tool being manipulated for the self desire to spread bullshit and hate. Generation Z is now the first generation to grow up with smartphones and modern internet conveniences. We are letting our kids playing Fortnite and Overwatch and getting punished because they offended someone. Social media needs to die. Smartphones need to die. Furthermore it needs to go back to the old HTML/CSS format and we need to require people to form some sort of intelligence in making any meaningful conversation. This generation is not only overly offended, it is overly stupid. It was raised on algorithms that have come from the modern internet of today. We were raised on an internet that was a world of freeflowing ideas and brainstorms. Where website developers tried to push the envelope. Now, I don't want my kids on the internet, because they'll be just as worse off as everyone else.

Millennials are no better, they are stuck in the same system where their purchasing power is pathetic in contrast to the Boomers, who have squandered everything. Worse, the people making these disastrous decisions to escalate us into a world war won't be alive to see the consequences of their actions.

  8428.  @hiruharada2650  Walt Disney was alive in a different era. He died in 1966, when his company was beloved by millions across the world. Disney Land was his dream project and in 1954 - 1955 it became a reality. A service like Disney Plus should never exist. It has so much woke garbage it's already brainwashing the kids because they don't know any better.

  8430.  @Scarshadow666  Mister Rogers Neighborhood and Sesame Street were not cartoons. People also forget a lot of 1980's cartoons, besides selling toys like Transformers, also taught kids about acceptance and standing up for yourselves. The 1990's shifted to more wacky, Looney Tune style shows (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, etc), but cartoons like Doug, Rocko's Modern Life and Hey Arnold had messages that could appeal to adults. Today, however, the cartoons strictly appeal to just kids. And they're not the types of shows they should really be watching. Baby Boomers, for all the faults, at least tried to give kids more decent messages in their cartoon shows.

  8433. Men have been broken down for decades. What western men don't realize is they are nothing by themselves. It's their work, perseverance and effort that make a man what he is. I see this every day on social media as women, in particular attractive women get dozens and hundreds of comments on their feed within a few hours. A young man who is a shut in, plays video games and is a geek is lucky to get a couple dozen friends on social media. That man isn't marriage material anyways, and he never was. Divorces favor the women. Families favor the women. Relationships favor the women. Most of our entertainment favors the women. I'm a guy who turns 40 this coming year and I have absolutely no desire to waste my time on any of these modern western women. We already lost before we started. It's a rigged system and until things change for the better I can't see our society sustaining for much longer.

  8434. Life was never fair. The problem is we’re simply more concerned about test scores than we are about learning. I value learning far more than any test score. If that means flunking some tests along the way, so be it. Kids go much farther with actual learning.

  8435. There has to be a balance. Pulp Fiction had lots of violence and profanity, but it was backed with strong acting and an actual plot. Most modern films showcase either sex or violence, but without a meaningful story or narrative direction.

  8436. I say ban them from using it until they're 18 - 21. Parents have already lost too many children because they handed smartphones to them when they were 10 - 12 years of age, and allowing toxic social media like Instagram enter their lives as 14 - 16 year olds.

  8477. Reaganomics took open a hole in the American economy. Taxes also increased several times. Many people don’t know that taxes, prices and cost of living all rose when Reagan was Governor of California. Combine that with the Energy Crisis of 1973 - 1974, and you got a recipe for disaster.

  8478. Anything associated with the big G is bound to turn to garbage, sooner or later. They are evil. They stopped caring long ago. When you’re one of the most powerful corporations you don’t have to care, and that’s exactly what happened to Google.

  8480.  @RicardoSantos-oz3uj  I used to think old fashioned 1950's travel with attractive women and men, and 1970's airlines with actual entertainment (piano) was just Hollywood glamorizing things for advertisement. But when I asked old people in their 80's about this stuff, they said these privileges actually existed back then. I've been stuck in coach with complete strangers and crying babies more times then I care to admit. Not to mention consistent delays in flights, confusion with plane tickets, hassle with getting personal luggage either on board or loaded by staff, etc. The list goes on.

  8488. Those days are long gone. Unfortunately, the Millennials who largely grew up sheltered and pampered by their parents in the 80s and 90s are making the entertainment nowadays. You can clearly tell a lot of it is narcissistic, self absorbed nonsense. I just recently watched the fourth season of The Andy Griffith Show. All the great things it had going for it are pretty much dead and gone in today's world.
