Did the average person really hate life in the 80's and 90's? Why do movies like "falling down" and "fight club" say shit like "AAAAHHH MY COUNTRY IS TOO WHITE AND MY JOB PAYS A LIVABLE WAGE FUCK EVERYTHING AND START OVER!!!!"
Did people really hate their own lives back then? What is the reason for these moves being created?
The entire plot of Falling Down is that he lost his job after years of loyal service you stupid fucker.
Follow up question: How correct is the idea of Luddism?

>>17820485calm down seething retard. You don't think people in the 90's got fucked over at work? Talk to me about it instead of frothing at the mouth.
Nobody ever thinks their current time is a golden Age, we only ever attribute and generalize qualities of the past through retrospect, and oftentimes we get it wrong, hence Golden Age Fallacy, and yes, many people did in fact hate living in the 80s and 90s. D-Fens also lived in 90s Los Angeles for what it's worth.
>>17820481 (OP)D-Fens is the 90s equivalent to some Chuds seething on Xitter how much the west has fallen for the past 2 weeks.
Frank Grimes from the Simpsons was also this archetype whether or not you think his Crashout was justified.
>>17820481 (OP)Things were getting bad then, and they are so bad now that looking back... then seems like it wasn't so bad. But then wasn't good, it only seems good compared to the awful now.
>>17820499The world is better now than it was in the 80s and 90s, violent crime for example is way down today compared to those two decades. We've just become sheltered and scelerophobic from being trapped in online echo chambers and ragebait instead of going outside
>>17820505>The world is better now than it was in the 80s and 90sNo it isn't. I was there, I know. Go gaslight some zoomers someplace else, retard.
>>17820514>No it isn't. I was there, I know.Okay, and so was I. If you were to go back in time with your current mindset you would be miserable. The one thing that changed is you got older and more involved with politics and news than you were growing up. I'm telling you man just go outside
>>17820481 (OP)What kind of movies would you expect from a paradise?
even back then goyslaving was soulless
they were compensated much better for it though
>>17820481 (OP)isolating yourself in your room on your computer all day finding stuff to make you upset and hate the world wasn't an acceptable behavior back then
no coincidence that increased suicides correlates with the anti-social behavior
>>17820496D-Fens just lost his mind at how shit society is. I'm not gonna sit here and let you rewrite the story of the move to say that he's just some wacko idiot.
Pic related.
>>17820492people remembered the 90s fondly in the 2010s
no one remembers the 2010s fondly in the 2020s.
>>17820812>no one remembers the 2010s fondly in the 2020s.lmao, yes they do. I'm starting to see Zoomers getting nostalgic for the 2010s now unironically. The Golden Age Treadmill marches on, sorry anon but your childhood was not special
>>17820879I'll concede and say you're right if you post objective crime rate numbers of the USA in 1995 and crime rate numbers of the USA in 2015
>>17820812retard
look up summer 2016 memes
>>17820514Maybe life only got worse for you and you attribute that with the setting.
>>17821066>>17820543retarded hand-fuckers will say "go outside". I fucking went outside and everyone hates eachother.
>>17820812The first year of 2020s was so bad that all people did was reminisce about 2-3 years prior.
>>17820481 (OP)>"AAAAHHH MY COUNTRY IS TOO WHITE AND MY JOB PAYS A LIVABLE WAGE FUCK EVERYTHING AND START OVER!!!!"Look at South Korea. One of the most homogeneous and richest countries on Earth. Also the most depressed and suicidal. There is nothing more soul-crushing than doing everything you were supposed to do and realizing that nothing changes. That's why they say that if you aren't happy in a cardboard box you will never be happy anywhere under any circumstances.
>>17821118It’s actually the opposite. If you aren’t happy in a wealthy prosperous society you’ll never be happy anywhere.
>>17821125You don't get it. The trick is contentment. And you say "wealthy prosperous society" but all I see is a dystopia. It's true that if you aren't happy poor, then you won't be happy rich.
>>17820505I shouldn't have to says something so obvious, but it depends on what places we're talking about.
Some got worse, some got better, some didn't change significatively.
>>17820481 (OP)Boomers and millenials are spoiled faggots.
>wah my nation is 85% homogenous and women are relatively easy to get thanks to no internetI despise them
>>17821118>That's why they say that if you aren't happy in a cardboard box you will never be happy anywhere under any circumstances.First time I ever heard that. Where did you pick it up?
