The moment life becomes untenable the show is over. People will just kill themselves and then the beast of nihilism will destroy this planet.

Globalists, kikes whatever. Idiots are playing with fire. They don’t understand that life is only as rational as the living conditions that are provided. Once you take away any real ability to live simply, people just opt to kill themselves. You’re never going to get people in a psychological vacuum where they refuse to advance beyond their means and yet don’t want to die.
It’s simply not going to happen, you can see this with virtually anyone committing suicide for benign reasons. It doesn’t have to make sense when the entire means of living negates the point of even caring about death to begin with.


Cope.

bro he's just describing what had already been happening for 30+ years

It's a grim thought to think that the fate of the world rests in an idiot's hand.

>>507710727
Yeah he's a nooooticer.

Humans are the most adaptable condition able animals on the planet. You can get us used to anything

That is pretty accurate.

Why don't we test it out in Israel?

Drop a nuclear bomb on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and then ask every member of AIPAC lobby, are you getting your 4th COVID booster shot?

Its important to stop the spread you know, we don't want to discuss the problems in Israel its not our problem what is our problem is that you need to get your 4th COVID booster in order to stop the spread.

They’re basically a mindless virus, collectively. Individually they’re conniving, deceitful dysgenics focused on short term gain only. They’ll drive the entire planet off a cliff without an instant of regret or self consciousness.

>30+ years

Oh darling it goes back much further.

>>507709436 (OP)
This is retarded.

>simple things become a little more expensive
Yea, then they go back down in price. Eggs are back at $1.98 at Aldis and my gas this morning was $2.76, according to inflation that should be $3.50 by now.
>Your work hours get longer but pay decreases
Bud i'm a salary IT employee, i only ever work 40 hours a week, and i make 96k per year with a 6% anti inflationary annual bonus, what?
>Every day you'll find yourself lowering your standards for everything?
Wtf? I went from eating McDonalds after work, to cooking $30 meals from scratch with my wife in the kitchen, or extravagant dinners out in town, we only buy the nice laundry soap, and we dont buy garbage things.
>People will start hanging onto clothing longer
my wife litterally buys me new clothes every month and throws my old shit to Goodwill bins.
>Less people will get married
We literally just got married in October of last year.
>People will engross themselves in technological distractions
Yea, if you're a poor faggot with no goals lmao. We hike the trails on Saturdays, spend our entire Sunday out on the town, and only really watch movies/tv during the week when we eat dinner at home
>Whatever dream people used to have about what their lives were going to be will become for them a distant memory
Not even close. Wife just completed her apprenticeship and now makes 80k a year piercing in a tattoo shop, while ive finally hit my goal of opening a Pet Store that specializes in aquatics.
>Debt/Poverty
Again, what? lmao. I have 12 years left on my house at age 32, and both of my cars are completely paid off.

I literally dont understand this. Do you faggots really hate your lives that much? Get a real job, working at a CNC shop for $19 an hour to be called a "Machine Operator" is not a job ok, roofing houses, or working at a factory, or being a grill cook at a resturaunt, is not a fuckin job, thats work for kids and immigrants. Get a life.

I believe it’s a reference to this

>Based on recent archaeology, it seems this is how the Roman collapse unfolded was well. Although images of pillaging barbarians looting burning cities sticks in people's imaginations when they think of the fall of the Roman Empire, this was not the experience for most people according to recent scholarship. Big events tended to come down to us in the written record, but for ordinary people, it probably seemed much less dramatic. Yes, there were some famines and plagues, as there had always been. The population declined, but there were no apocalyptic battles or mass starvation. Many of the cities appear to have been continually inhabited. There were no mass graves, ruined cities or signs of malnutrition found in excavations. Most people who survived the plagues lived right through the transition from Classical Antiquity to Late Antiquity to the Medieval period with remarkable continuity, just a change of institutions and expectations. But something clearly was happening, because we know it from history. Buildings got plainer. Citizens got poorer. Trade routes shrank. Economies became local. Lawlessness increased. The old Roman Empire had been around since far before anyone could remember, and as it broke down more and more and failed to do things it had once done easily, it must have seen to some people like the world was collapsing in on them. It wasn't, but something was happening. Much depended on who you were, where you were, what your expectations were, and how much you had invested in the status quo, both mentally and in terms of status and resources.

Then, as now, /pol/ needs reminding that there won’t be a “Happening”. This is the “happening”. We’re currently living through it.

Pure uncut diamond? No, I believe he was lying about that, because a diamond has to undergo an unimaginable process in order to obtain its shape, and the amount of effort, time, and energy used to mine a diamond out of the ground far outweighs any monetary value

i'm so glad we're going back to posting this screencap.

the screencaps that get posted here are like a mood barometer. the return of the doomer cynicism means that the r/the_donald newfags have finally been absorbed into the consensus and the partisan slacktivism that has dominated this board since 2016 is dying out. they've finally finished being burned by baby's first political campaign. the children are growing up.

now, perhaps, we will see again with eyes unclouded.

unfortunately, much has been lost in the interim.

Yes this adheres to the "Time is a flat circle" philosophical theory. We constantly live in a state of familiar change. Growth, decay then transformation. The Assyrians, the Sumatrans, Romans, Persians, Spartans, Ottomans, etc. Humans live through the same cycles just slightly different transformations.

This is such a reddit-tier post.
>so what if the statistics and anecdotal evidence of the majority indicates a relentless decline and general loss of spirit? here's a line-by-line breakdown of how this doesn't affect me, personally, and by the way I have a spouse

Like you thought someone was asking you, specifically, for advice in the form of a blog post. You may as well have ended every sentence with a question mark. I also cook myself a nice dinner every night and buy premium soaps and find the time to go hiking, I don't even have a fancy programming degree or a dual-income household, and my shitty commercial printing job just installed a new vending machine. That doesn't change the fact that private equity is enshittifying everything, birth rates are plummeting, people are abandoning thought to half-assed sycophantic AI, and infrastructure is collapsing or degrading everywhere you look. That's not even getting into the details, like stores locking up $4 sticks of deodorant to prevent theft. The point of the post isn't that individual people can't have comfortable lives anymore, it's that broader society seems to have lost some kind of critical spark. Even the oppressors have lost the will to glory and self-empowerment, we're never going to have the neon dystopia world of looming skyscrapers and dynamic cyberpunk cities with dazzling holographic ads and invisible street assassin warfare which was supposed to result from capitalism run amok, or the endless golden suburbs envisioned in the 90s or whatever clean crisp Star Trek world or nuclear wasteland or anything positive or even exciting in a negative way.

It's just going to be endless 3-story vinyl-sided condominiums and McMansions furnished in millennial grey, only getting grimier with each passing year. Compare MAGA to the populist uprisings of the past, the seek stormtroops have been replaced with bloated boomers shambling around in t-shirts that they had to pay for themselves.
