Date: December 14th, 2019 12:05 PM Author: Soul-stirring Fishy Church Building Voyeur Yeah, I wish there was a word to encapsulate this feeling, because that's exactly what it is.
Each decade in the 20th century felt unique, had distinct features, made contributions, had a distinct feel. Obviously a lot changed in the past 20 years and we've had major innovations, but they just feel different. And although tastes and mores change, we reached sort of a cultural wall - there was no work left to do, and it sort of just feels stagnant now.
I just think it's the era where we reached a tipping point socially and technologically where escapism is the dominant cultural yearning, technology and the unreal will increasingly become more 'real' than what's real, and we will move further away from each other as individuals. Everything feels stagnant and fractured now. |

Date: December 14th, 2019 12:55 PM Author: Big Flickering Theater Newt It doesn't matter. Kids/idiots/proles see 1970s tight pants footage and think "wow they must have had small dicks haha." They see 1920s footage and are like, "wow, walking a little fast, much? And as though a stick was up their asses? haha." Pumos have to crouch as they move through 19th-century and prior doorways. "People were Shorter back then haha." Napoleon is also a laughingstock. Also, no one cares about World War I or the millions who died bravely. In the West, we denigrate our ancestors, this is not the East. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4401183&forum_id=2#39264864) |

Date: December 14th, 2019 12:59 PM Author: Charismatic Corner I honestly believe it will be viewed as a uniquely anomalistic period where culture was changing too quickly for people to adapt. Basically a period of nonsense, somewhat of a lost generation, etc. things will go back to "normal" soon. the new normal will be fucking horrible for basically everybody, but it will go back to a predictable state.

Date: December 14th, 2019 9:13 PM Author: Unhinged Heaven victors write the histories. So if libs win:
1. series of subsequent civil rights wins for gays, trannies, women, etc. all rippling out from the 1960s black civil rights movement
2. increasing anger and death-rattles of bad white men in the form of W Bush and Trump, raging in one final impotence against the new dawn
3. tech progress that liberated women from oppression, rendering strength useless, allowing women to press buttons on drone soldiers and lead wars, etc.
4. the final emptying of christian churches, those that remaining serving as gay museums to gay old art
If cons win (this seems more fantastical):
1. The final overreach of liberation-thinking, which even tried to divorce humans from biological sex
2. the provocation that inspired the great act of violence that shook the economy to its core, re-centering it in male dominated activities
3. a kind of weimar period that preceded the great return to suffering and nobility |
