It's been downhill since 2020

You may not have been paying close attention. Obama was astoundingly better than Trump, but invasive spying on citizens was allpwed to remain legal under his watch, and he extended what was allowed. Drone striking questionable targets started under him as well. There's more, but those two are the highlights usually brought up.
wrote last edited by [email protected]The worst the obama administration got was a typical couple of weeks of the Trump administration. It is so much worse now it's unthinkable it could have gotten this bad when looking from the perspective of 2015.

My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory.
(TikTok screencap)June 26th 2015 was the peak for the U.S. It's been downhill from there.

To me it was 9/11 that started the insanity.... Either way, if you look at movies from the 80s and movies from today, you clearly see the humanity lacking from todays movies.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Let’s be real- it was the US’s response to 9/11 that started the insanity. There was absolutely a way forward, but no- some shitheads gave the Americans a bloody nose and the US decided to try to stop the bleeding by stabbing itself in the heart for two decades while threatening anyone who pointed out that this was a bad idea.

It was 2014. That was the final year of that Obama high where things really felt like they were turning a corner before we were slowly confronted with a world where Donald Trump might actually be president, and the only one standing in his way was somehow Hillary Clinton, a woman that Republicans had been preparing to beat for literally 20 years.
Syeve bannon was behind the media push that ended it. He's talked about it in interviews.

Ah youngins
It's been downhill for quite some time
All these people saying INSANE things like “2015” break my goddamn heart. Like… there’s no way for them to know just how much better it could be.
It’s infuriating that the people making it worse absolutely DO know better.

I remember this. This was a turning point. That and the bailouts.
Bailouts said, "I'm for the rich." Flint said, "fuck the poor."
Not possible. Handsome man. Beautiful family.

Drone striking questionable targets
if you want to bring up warcrimes, the world has never been normal, especially not the US, they've been up to some heinious shit since before we were born

wrote last edited by [email protected]Its whatever best year you remember. From my perspective, its been sharply downhill since 2000.
Those older than me often say it went to shit during the Reagan years. Its been slowly getting worse for a long time.

Steve Bannon gave birth to GamerGate through WoW guilds.
Insert small to large dominos meme where the small domino is some disheveled guy playing WoW at 3 AM talking about how women suck and the large one is Donald Trump recreating concentration camps, J6, or whatever dystopian bullshit else that has happened in the last few years.

Bailouts started with GWB.

hhhooo boy...let me tell you about how it felt to live in the world before September 11th 2001...
it was freaking amazing.
We were downloading MP3s on dial up.

There's too many people and the simulation can't keep up a coherent narrative

Dimpled chads and the Brooks Brothers riots. The Jingoism that followed 9/11 masked the turn things would be taking.

This is actually the right answer. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, and we're all still in the middle of what is essentially a no-declared-sides WWIII now. 2015 was good, but things had shifted in the world a bit. Countering China was starting to become a huge deal suddenly for the US, and China moved into the South China Sea and did some currency revaluation that was all aimed at their 2029 and 2049 CCP anniversary goals.
Also, I was in fucking phenomenal shape.

(TikTok screencap)The old people who run the world feel the weight of their impending deaths, but in their narcissism they have mistaken it for the oncoming end of the world.

The moment when Harambe died was when the timeline split.
we all know Harambe split the timeline. Nothing was the same after that.#neverforget

Man oh man. I went Napster crazy.
