question for the grandpas here but did it really feel like it was the end of history during the 1990s?

Sort of.
The current clown world politics of the USA today seemed impossible.

for like 10 years the media talked about 911

turn on the news and all day every day they talked about 911

i had serious 911 fatigue. got real tired of hearing about it

>>507813755

It was pretty much the same back then as it is now, anon. The rest is just cope.

i dont remember knowing what the fuck jews were then, times were simpler

>>507814027
>t. wasn’t conscious in the 90s or most of the 00s

No. The end of history shit is basically poetic license to refer to this naive liberal belief that somehow liberalism and capitalism would continue to make things better forever. History didn’t end. People just assumed progress was inevitable or else didn’t think about it.

know one talked about the jews because then you had to talk about faggots and child molesters, it was pretty sweet then when the only hint that jews were a thing was the missing kids on the milk carton and parents saying not to talk to strangers especially if they have a mustache

Very serene hopeful times with a new millennium to look forward to

we are used to the current things cycle moving faster these days but back then the current thing was 911 for over 10 years. it was so boring. then the wars in the middle east which seemed like they would never end and never accomplished anything. so dull

>>507814345
more like groundhog day
every day was the day after 911 for over 10 years

boomers and gen x were the only adults then and they can sit in front of the tv and watch the same stories about 911 every day for years and just veg out. they would never be able to hold younger gens attention span with that shit today.

It was exactly like it is now, but the propaganda was better and people actually wanted to believe we were post racial. To be honest, it was when the war on Whites was in full swing, but very low key. t. Gen Xer.

>>507812584 (OP)
No

The 90s was pretty fucked just like things always have been. Oklahoma City bombing, 1st wtc bombing, Waco, ruby ridge, lots of child kidnappings and increasing violent crime rates.

>>507814027
It was not like things are today. Not even close.
9/11 and the Iraq war were a MASSIVE shift in how people behaved and thought in America. There were still deep racial and political divisions, but the level of emotion dialed way down compared to what it is today. It also shifted how people thought about government and the government's role in everyday life.

From a day-to-day standpoint, things were much the same, though of course you could buy a sandwich, chips and a drink with a $5 bill and get change back.

National politics was deeply boring, the province, for the most part, of serious old white guys who'd dedicated their lives to national service. The nonstop clown show that national politics is now started to ramp up after the turn of the century.

>>507814027
>The rest is just cope.
This.

There was once a time where the most that anyone thought about or cared about politics was that the president of America had his dick sucked by an intern. You laughed about it with friends then went to watch Titanic that night with your girlfriend.

>>507814684
yeah i just realized that now
my bad
i got so 911 fatigued that i cant remember anything that happened before that. they just burned it out of my memory talking about nothing but 911 for over 10 years after 911. history began at 911, that was some kind of reset

We already noticed time was beginning to stop. Every previous decade had its own look, feel, taste, smell. That stopped in the 90's. Watch True Lies and tell me it cannot be released today and people would know it is 30 years old.
- Mom & Pop stores dried up.
- Wal-Mart destroyed small business.
- Hedge Funds made trillions and no one knew how or why.
- A giant sucking sound was heard in American manufacturing.

Not really. I felt optimistic for the future by the end of the 90s. Things starting going down shaky and uncertain by the mid-00s. There were aspects that felt depressing like music and movies but it felt more like outlets for people individually having issues and angst and some people were cynical. Perhaps it was a warning about the cracks in the system and inevitable issues that were coming but I'd digress. Generally however, everything felt a bit more optimistic.

>>507812584 (OP)
No. It felt like it was the beginning of a new era. A nice one. Everything was pretty comfy, even for lower-middle-class people. There wasn't as much divide by any metric. Rich kids played with poor kids, people didn't really care about race at all because it wasn't pushed down their throats, and people still married their own. Technology was booming, but it didn't yet control people's lives. Kids played outside just as much as they played video games. Phones were used to call people. No real social media. Homes and cars were affordable and plentiful. You weren't considered a faulure if you didn't have a college degree and a career utilizing a degree. The list goes on. In a way, I really believe that the comfort was the downfall and people didn't see the decline coming. It hit them hard because of that. The world now is nothing like we were promised or envisioned. It's like a fucked up alternate universe where something went totally wrong. That's the only real accurate way to describe it.

Race riots in the 1960s lasted months, if not years. BLM never matched those levels and that's before any of us on here.

Only in part, that is we didn't entertain the delusion that there wouldn't be any war at all but we had the very prevalent delusion that a century of Pax Americana was upon us.

I know that it might seems ridiculous but in Europe at the time we really looked up to our Yank cousins, we thought them less intellectually capable than us for certain but for some reason they looked more practical, good with money, better capitalists than us, they effectively won the Cold War against the Communists.

The idea of America as Israel's crackwhore came much later.

If you know you know.

>>507812584 (OP)
It was our JFK moment. When JFK was assassinated, everyone knew that America was now controlled by a shadow elite and democracy was unequivocally dead.
When 9/11 fell, we knew all the "freedom" bullshit was dead and we were now going to live in a mask-off tyranny.
Yes, democracy was a farce before JFK, and America was a police state before 9/11, but it had the appearance of the American dream still. (((They))) murdered that dream in broad daylight and people were too shocked & weak to do anything about it.

>>507812584 (OP)
9/11 was ritualized societal demoralization event in addition to all the people murdered. It was 100% intentional

Granted we were just in a great recession in 08, I remember everyone citing "the economy" for every problem around 2008+. There were lots of protests and problems. I definitely became more aware of the political and economic issues in 04-08 era during the elections and the start of the wars. Hell, that's when were making memes like the Anonymous groups and Doom Paul like "It's happening" and "you should have listened" on this site. We were basically assuming it was the end (albeit hyperbolic). Maybe for some people the day to day doesn't feel too different, but I believe when you compare further timelines from the recession around the late 00s to early-mid 90s, there are some obvious social and economic differences no doubt. And sure, while changes like that always happened in society, I think as a whole we really felt it on a broader like shift in the zeitgeist since 9/11 and those subsequent events.

>>507815331
>No. It felt like it was the beginning of a new era. A nice one.

That's literally what 'the end of history' means you dimwit.

>fucked up universe where something went wrong

It's simple. Demography - people in developed countries are not multiplying as fast as the economic system needs. Elites were starting to see this in 1960's and definitely knew it was a thing in 1980's. The system based on constant growth was inevitable to stop. And, as a rich elite, you either could build some new kind of equalistic idealistic society or you could bring people to constant slavery, fear and hate.
Well guess what keeps you most power and money...

However the plan wouldn't work if ordinary peeps were not dumb as hell and wouldn't play along. But they did.

Animal produce happened. That's why we're death spiralling. Too comfortable and non deserving of the resources we're getting from loosh farming sentient creatures.

What's more, animal milk is sexually crossing the maternal instinct wiring of drinkers and observers. That's why you think women are giving you unnatural amounts of attention (not necessarily positive.)

Veganism brings the wavelength to sanity.


Beyond beef, the big patties, taste better than equivalent sized meat already, they just need free energy to drive costs down 80%. Barbosa and Leal can do that cheap and non nuclear.

Questions phrased like this really disturb me. They’re soaked with the trappings of current “now” culture, where everyone has MC syndrome and talk like reality isn’t happening right now, every moment. Who gives a fuck about the 90s? Or the 80s, or the 70s, etc? They’re gone and they are not coming back.

History is way more than 30-40 years ago. Time keeps going and so do we. Enjoy the present, because once it’s gone, it’s gone. Make the most of your time because growing older just makes everything harder.

Have a great idea or motivation? Work on it right now - not tomorrow or next year. Stop idealizing something you’ll never know. Just get offline.

It felt like the start of something new if you were born between 1988 and 1992. My life has just been nonstop acceleration.

It felt more like the middle part of history. The 80's felt old in the 90's and the 2000's looked bright.

But the real end of history came when smartphones got popular. Movies and music wasn't consumed the same way anymore. Innovation in computers wasn't exciting anymore. We are still essentially using the same smart phones from 10+ years ago. AI doesn't do it for me. It's strange because if they had pushed AI in the 90's and 2000's I'm sure it would have been a bigger deal.

It didn't feel like the end of history during the 90s. But after 9/11 (it really was a world-altering event) we suddenly realized a line had been drawn and there was no going back.
Slowly things started changing. Security became the de-facto excuse for any law or rule that we wouldn't have stood for before.
We got used to incrementally decreasing quality of life. Things that used to feel solid started to feel flimsy and weak. Drinks used to come in glass bottles. And even the plastic bottles of the time felt sturdy and firm. We weren't totally inundated with chinese... everything. Cars could be worked on by their owners. Appliances were built to last. There are washing machines from the 90s still running out there.
Human interaction started to die off. I remember when I left a college class for the first time to see 90% of students talking on cell phones between classes.
Suddenly it became way more common to see people walking everywhere with headphones on, ignoring everyone around them, etc.
Gosh I feel like I could write an essay, but I'm probably repeating a bunch of stuff already posted. I just started this thread, so I'll read before I waste everyone's time.

>>507812584 (OP)
Not at the time, but it was a slow boil to leaving culture, American dreams, optimism, and expectations behind in favor of a "I got mine" support for crooks. LA riots, Waco, Ruby Ridge, John Gotti, these are all the signs of the country ready to autocannibalize. Sure, things like a Trump presidency felt distant, but that whole attitude shift towards even what was asked and expected of government fell apart.

How do you find these newfangled, space age mobile iPhones gramps. Are your bifocals sufficient to see the screen?

>>507818576
But all those things you mentioned - drinks in glass bottles, cars that were easier to work on, appliances built to last, etc. - that was a relatively short amount of time. You speak of it like it was the majority of American history, when in fact it was maybe a 40 year stretch; a little more than a generation.

Why are cars more complicated? Because they’re safer and more efficient than ever. But in order to accomplish that, you need several more parts than a car from 50 years ago. Not to mention all the electronics needed to automate and control many of the features you like, such a music from your phone, GPS, etc.

Appliances are plentiful and affordable compared to when they first hit the market and were “built to last”. You know why people no longer learn how to maintain their appliances? Because it’s simply more convenient and less expensive to simply buy a new one now. Yes, it’s a shame that men aren’t stayed as handy as they used to, but replacing my fridge isn’t going to cost me 6 months of pay either.

It’s a new world and there are reasons for these changes. To simply think these changes happened because the by an are somehow worse is just being ignorant to why these changes happened in the first place.

In short, you really sound like the retarded boomer you probably hate.

I don't talk on the phone. I have a phone in case of emergencies, but I talk, on average, about 1 hour a year on it.

But that leads to a partial answer to OP's question. What really destroyed the country was the invention of the pager. Prior to that, there was a clear separation between on-work time and off-work time. Then the more motivated allowed themselves to be bothered outside of work; then it became a demand by business owners that their employees be "available" at all time.

Growing up in the 70's, kids spent about 8 hours a day completely unreachable; with most parents having no idea where there kids were at any given moment

My dad had a pager back in the 90s because he was a truck driver. I always thought they were cool. Oh yeah, when I was in elementary and junior high, once we left the house in the morning, we were unreachable until about 3:00. I got my 1st phone at 16 because I started driving and it was a Cingular flip phone.

We were using "based" in middle school 1994-5ish as it was initially and without sarcasm, connoting "good" as far as I could tell. I remember this as POG was popular at the time. This predates the 2000 origin story myth. The Lil B origin story is fabrication of sorts so it seems.

>>507812584 (OP)
not at first, but now, oh yeah

Yeah kinda. After the USSR fell most people just wanted to relax, peace out, and make money. There was also a genuine tech explosion during that decade, like it started out with text-only computers and crushingly slow modems that took 10 minutes to download a shitty jpeg, by the end of the decade we had google maps and unlimited free music, Bill Clinton was well known to be a man whore but nobody outside of the GOP gave a fuck because he was paying down the national debt. and making money was easy. I was in my 20s so I was just doing my own thing but I'd say there was this general assumption that the world would just become more and more like the USA, abundant everything.

Not because of Obama, I know some will say that but because tech was getting bigger. Cellphones became more common as well as communication and internet connection. Wifi really ruined how people act.
The fact selling points of techno shit in 2008-12 was "it has wifi capability" for toasters or fridgerators was....and it didn't help places like 4chan became dens of this communication hubs, namely protesting.
The amount of fags who stopped having fun poking fun during raids and trying to turn them into crusades.....just like leftoids with memes. They killed what was fun by trying to be serious.

"end of history"? No it felt like the beginning of a world of infinite possibility. 90s kids complained that they didn't get to do exactly what the wanted for a career. Look at the movie Reality Bytes, one of the characters biggest complaints is that they're a highly paid designer rather than a true artist.
Zoomers can't fathom how much was stolen from them before the reached their teens. Rather than bitching about things not being perfect they bent over for corporate cock just to survive.
Anyone living in the 90s at the time, if you showed them what the future held in store for them, would think you were bullshitting but would think it would make a great dystopian movie.

>>507819394
I was unreachable in the 90's. We just left a note on the kitchen table telling when we would be back. People would sometimes go look for each other if they couldn't reach them by telephone. I didn't know any regular people with pagers. The first Nokia cell phone we got was the "family phone", it took a few years before every kid had one. By around 2004 every kid had a cell phone.

>>507820026
I suppose the world got suckered by the marketing. You were a big shot (or a drug dealer) if you were the first on the block to have a pager. But the person paying for it (usually your company) wasn't going to pay for something they didn't use; so there were any number of excuses for them to page you. I can get that there was a need for truckers (especially in the pre-cell-phone era); but that one device did more to screw the working man than just about anything else in modern history.

>did it really feel like it was the end of history during the 1990s?
Yes.
The USSR collapsed in '91, and with China embracing capitalism, and communism no longer appearing as any significant threat, the world was was beginning to enter the globalist era. The internet and message boards were proliferating and people could communicate faster and easier than anytime previously. The economy was booming and crime rates kept dropping. The economy was doing so well, they actually froze the National Debt clock in NYC and were considering taking it down when the numbers had stopped climbing and had been decreasing instead. The biggest political scandal was the President got a bj in the Oval Office.
It seemed like we were on the cusp of entering a brave new world.

I personally didn't think so, but many people did.
Pic related was taken seriously by a lot more people than it should have been.
Basically, the idea was that, after the Soviet Union fell and the Cold War ended was that large-scale events like WW2 would be unlikely and that human progress would now proceed forward into a liberal democratic future with only minor historical fluctuations.
I mean, in one way, it did sort of make sense. Realistically, what was the single biggest news event of the 1990s in the USA post Gulf/Cold War? The OJ Trial. Those types of things would be our new benchmarks of history, not revolutions and such.
For some people, the only possible thing that could go wrong would be something unexpected like an asteroid impact (q.v., Armegeddon and Deep Impact).
There were at least as many people around, though, who knew these idealists were full of shit.

> did it really feel like it was the end of history during the 1990s?
Yes, it certainly FELT like the beginning of a new era, but actually, it wasn't. It was the beginning of the preparation for something bigger.
Convid was the actual beginning of the end.
And Convid was also just a final, general rehearsal and preparation for the real thing.
The real thing is coming in the next three years.
By 2030, the world will be unrecognizable.
By 2034, it will have become so bad it will force God's hand. MMW

my teacher thought it was soooo important that he stopped class and made us all listen to a news story about the trial or whatever. i was young but even back then i thought it was stupid, inane, unimportant, mere gossip and not news and certainly not something worthy of the massive amount of attention on it.

You do understand just how much shit was discovered and invented between 1900-1930 that we have just been improving on for 100 years? It's about to get fucking real because we won't need actual people to figure anything out anymore

it was really really awful, bank savings were constantly being made worthless, 1992 hyperinflation, 1997 national default, long breadlines, gorbachev coup then yelsin's tanks firing at the white house, the two chechen wars, transnistria war, south ossetia war, hard to find a job and put food on the table, hiv becoming rampant, large number of people injecting krokodil. widespread corruption. everyone wanted to be a businessman, scientists, professors, engineers quit their job to sell hot dogs and broken inkjet printers. a jew jews becoming extremely wealthy and running the country.
felt like everything was falling apart, but at the same time there was a kind of doomer sovl to it and the music was good and there was hope liberalism and we'd be a normal country some day like france or england

history felt like something that was in the past, and not something that was actively unfolding

the credits sequence of history, if you will

honestly, even without 9/11, shit was getting worse and worse. the "end of history" and all the shitty optimism of the 90s was all fake. if you look at all REAL statistics, everything was getting worse and all the progressive woke shit was going to happen

in many ways, 9/11 accelerating the collapse is probably a good thing in the long term because it managed to redpill many people and got people to recognize the corruption of the government and the institutions. without 9/11 we probably wouldn't be redpilled the way we are now, and would continue to live in a gay 90s bubble while things slowly get worse.

>>507821481
this. I think the no-9/11 timeline would've been even worse. just nothing happening and society slowly degenerating into nothing while remaining bluepilled forever.

i'm telling you little niggas, the 90s were the fucking dark ages. the ONLY source of knowledge was books. you had to go to the library and then look it up in an encyclopedia. if you wanted to watch anime you had to huddle around fat neckbeards in a comic book store that smelled like a goon cave and watch VHS fansubs on a 27" CRT. and you could only do it at certain times! if you had to go somewhere you didn't know, you had to get directions. you had to read maps. EVERYTHING that has to do with information has changed RADICALLY in the past 25 years. we're truly in uncharted waters here. it's just a little odd because you don't see information. houses, cars, roads still look the same. physical reality has remained unchanged for at least a hundred years.

>>507812584 (OP)
No. It felt like anything was possible and only good stuff was happening. The mid-late 90s especially were very sunny and optimistic and people were generally happy, outgoing and fun loving.

>>507826599
ok, but in reality everything was actually getting worse.

if i recall correctly, some genx oldfags who have been extremely online for longer than most of us have alleged that this movie was deployed a smokescreen to discredit discussion about the appearance of glowniggers in black suits in peculiar places at peculiar times, thus associating any discourse about these individuals with alien coverup conspiracy theories. it apparently ended the discussion almost overnight as well as flooding early search engine results for "men in black."

I keep hearing different dates for the end of the end of history. Some say 9/11, some say Trump 1.0, some say Ukraine, some say Trump 2.0.

I'm confused

Honestly, full clown world didn't really start until the mid to late 2010s. The 00s and early 10s were comfy. 2020 was the final nail in the US coffin. If you think things are going to get better on a broad scale now, you're just delusional

>>507826742
things were fine until 9/11 and then the culture shifted into paranoia and retardation.

>>507818338
you are delusional if you think Clinton's BJ bonanza at all compares to the current political ecosystem
The fact alone that for most people the news has been replaced with a radio show by some ex-MMA guy would be cause for mockery

>>507826907
agreed. if it wasn't for that stupid 9/11 we wouldn't have had the Federal Reserve Act, the Civil Rights Act, the Hart-Cellar Act, Women's Rights, Feminism, Sexual Revolution, abolishment of the gold standard, NAFTA, California Amnesties, outsourcing to China, and anti-White propaganda and the myth of WWII.

this. It was cool up until about 1994 or 5. Then it seemed like the life was slowly choked out of everything. There was a feeling of continual loss in everything. Also pro-brown propaganda was ramped to the max. Go watch old movies and commercials it was similar to now. It's just that there was a tiny niche that didn't have it. Also people say the "economy was good in the 90s", that's pure bullshit. Good if you were some connected rabbi's nephew or some shit.

the best decade of the 20th century was either the 00s, 20s, or 50s. that was the peak in terms of quality of life

>>507827248
9/11 was merely an electric shock given to cattle on an open air prison farm where everything was supposed to be fine. The cattle only remembers the shock hurting but that's about it. It took more than a decade after 9/11 for the cattle to start realizing what's going on, but still in its memory lingers on that painful memory that is used almost like a kneejerk reaction of the times.

>>507812584 (OP)
Watch the movie Slackers. It's basically vignettes of life in the 90s before US media became almost entirely cynical. By 1996 almost all media centralized under one private monopoly held by AT&T and old media's quality fell off a cliff since them as people migrated onto the Internet. TV wasn't as addictive as the Internet so there were far fewer shut ins and people were generally more active. You had some people obsessed with books that never left the house, but things like media nerds weren't common at all.

There was an irrational "millennialist" optimistic mentality that somehow the 2000s would be bright and shiny and hopeful.

In the 1990s politics was an afterthought. Real life was much more in focus. No cellphones (smart ones) meant that you could focus much more on your own life than others.

>>507826743
Early millennial here. I'm not sure about the intentional discrediting part, but the Men in Black were definitely a known thing in the conspiracy/paranormal scene. I bought practically the whole "speculation" section at my local Borders over a few years and they were a common theme. I had a graphic novel thing from the mid 90s that was a whole compliation of famous cryptid/UFO/etc. stories and the "host" of all of them was an MiB, and this was way before the movie made the concept famous. I just assumed the movie was inspired by all that stuff.

>>507828739
It's funny how based the 70s were. When I was growing up it was totally portrayed as this horrible embarrassing decade everybody wanted to forget. I guess boomers were in their late 20s and 30s then so it was equivalent to the 2010s for us older millennials, which kinda checks out.

>>507828979
honestly, even without 9/11, would it have been? 2000 was already worse than 1995, and 1995 worse than 1990.

and the "booming" economy of the 90s was already over by 2001 even before 9/11, and the Recession was inevitable

>>507829333
it actually was cool and unique even though quality of life was shit. goes to show even bad times can stand out and have their own unique identities people look back on. the 90s was the opposite, quality of life was better but didn't really stand out. "peace and prosperity" isn't really something that stands out. there were dozens of those in history

Kind of. There didn't seem to be any grand conflict, just some little wrinkles here and there that needed to be ironed out (Bosnia, Rwanda, Palestine etc). Of course if I knew then what I know now I would have seen it for what it was—a plateau before an inflection point after which industrial society would begin unraveling.

It depends on a country I suppose.

In 1990 Finland was 98% White and 95% Finnish or Swedish.
We were very prosperous, our GDP per capita was 20% over USA, in fact every Scandinavian county were richer than USA.

And we were a safe, functional, picturesque White ethnostate utopia.
People that didn't get to see it can't even understand it, it was an indescribable paradise, it felt so free you could relax all the time, do whatever you want wherever, nothing would ever happen, everyone is your people and everyone ultimately have the same goals and not antagonistic like kikes vs humans.

Then it happened, jewish demons sunk their claws on us and brought their multiculturalism. And it destroyed everything.
And it didn't only destroy my home, but it destroyed all European homes. I don't even like traveling Europe anymore because how blackpilling the reality of it is, seeing niggers and shitskin loiter around everywhere, picking pockets, scamming, being loud and violent, selling shit on the corner like its iraqi bazaar.
Now, like most of Europe, we are flooded with third world welfare immigrants and Islamic invaders. Our own government arranged a charter flight for ISIS concubines and their programmed little head-cutting hell spawn.

Going from "everyone leaves their doors unlocked" to "don't wear your jewelry when you go to town" in two decades was shocking.
We had been living in "Lintukoto". What our mythology refers to as the place where birds migrate, where heaven and earth connect and where small people live in peace and harmony. But what is currently mockingly referring to the idea that Finns want to continue living independently, in peace and harmony as unrealistic and naive. And there really is no reason, other than the globalist scumbags' decision to sell our country to EU and the international bankers, that we couldn't continue to be Lintukoto.

(cont.)

The hatred I have for the jews for destroying not only my home but the entire world with their multiculturalism, it cannot possibly be put into words.
It's sort of pure, burning, righteous hatred that cannot even be described.

The jews need to pay back for what they have done, but how can they even get their proper due for literally destroying the world.
Even if you killed every single jew 1000 times over they still havent paid.

We really must get creative, we maybe need to set them to forever hard labor slavery to pay for what they have done till eternity.
But then again who even wants jewish labor, they're literally useless parasites.

It angers me that even if we kill them all it will still feel that they got away with it all

1) huge public OPs like United Colors of Benetton add, Brent Spa, MTV
2) shift to Middle East War theatre, Iraq 91, Osama WTC 93
3) start of RW panic

But that all felt esp through Bosnia War like the old world fading out, not a new emerging, there was an "it's over" feeling but in a good sense, yes. Oddly Putin and Erdogan felt like more and more countries are joining the team, traveling was easy, an appartment was easy to get, internet was a stationary thing you didn't need to have... life was going in a good dieection no one knew it was already planned for a controlled demolition and Peace was non negotionable...

Basically yeah, I'd say until 2001 which resulted into USA fiddling with Afghanistan and later Iraq, there was a general feeling that there are no true dangers in the world anymore since the USSR fell and eastern bloc dismantled.

I mean there were still lots of things to solve like third world problems, environment, people were still fighting over religion and stuff but everything seemed to be that the west is enough powerful that the future is simply only getting better. That the future is simply freedom, liberalism, technology and general wealth. Like we are getting only better graphics vidyas and faster trains and planes and space discovery eventually. And people were hyped about stuff, like truly hyped. Phones with new features, internet becoming a truly general thing in public, cars getting round and interesting, traveling more accessible. Teenagers inventing different subcultures (although popular music was shit in late 90's, the eurodance was still trying to be popular although it was just repetitive crap. However there was lots of different music in CD shops.)

I was born in 85'. Everybody waxes poetic about the time they grew up. When we were younger we watched "that 70's show" and the movie "Dazed and Confused". Wr had calenders of 70's muscle cars and religiously listened to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. We thought the best of times was the 70's as 90's kids. Now we got Gen Z acti g the same about the 90's.

Dont get me wrong...the 90's were alot of fun and leaps and bounds better than today. When 2000 was rolling around there were loads of conspiracies saying everything digital was going to STOP working. Computers, ATM machines, the Interwebs. Well, when it was 12:01 nothing changed. Everything was the same. It eas a big deal to go from.the 1900's though to flip the calendar to 2000. I even still have a champagn bottle cork that says 2000 from that very NYE I spent with my family.

It wasnt until 9/11 and the televised Invasion of Iraq when the atmisohere polticially started to really change. 2001-2006 was a shitshow. Then thing started getting weirder and weirder with faggotry, nigger worship, and everything woke.

>>507834730
I agree with you, although there was fun haven which was internet. And also movies I enjoy. Basically, the post-2001 until like 2009 was like the era when you could sense that the society is not moving the right path. Like you got delivered the Matrix movie and suddenly you felt that the pesimistic future is actually possible outcome, the dystopia is possible.

And still, people believed the 90's aura about bright future, although the reality they lived in changed drastically. You got the new round and flashy graphics with 3D effects. Flatscreens and stuff. Until iPhone suddenly appeared and decided that minimalism and edgyness is a way to go.

A lot of people answering this are brain dead NPCs. Some things were better, some were worse.
You could make mistakes and you didn't have to worry that they it would follow you. It was much easier with women; there was no such thing as ghosting for example. Easier to save money, get a cheap house or car. Super easy to get a job, despite large amounts of foreigners already invading. Blacks and whites and other races were very open about the differences, and thusly, stayed segregated in sort of a friendly way. No one really checked if you had an ID to go into a bar, cops were more lenient. You got to know if you were people, but more intimately. Things were made better, especially buildings, tools, and clothing. Qualities that lasted. If somebody got hurt you had to find a payphone.
today, there are many good things. You don't have to go to a library, or call your father's uncle to learn how to take a spring off of a drum break, and wait three days for that answer. You didn't have to spend an entire Sunday trying to organize a football game. You can look up, fabricate, or buy anything online. All knowledge is at your fingertips. You can have food delivered to your house, or be picked up and driven somewhere if you need a ride without having to organize it. You can buy sell or trade with a wide range of people. There is much more different kinds of options for everything now; restaurants, clothing whatever.
These two lists are by no means exhaustive. Things change, and some things get better and some things get worse. A lot of Boomers are just nostalgic for when their bodies felt better, and they hadn't burned out their dopamine and serotonin.

The thing is that I actually lived in 90s when this country was still a White ethnostate, a beautiful place of harmony and social cohesion.
So no amount of jewish lies "it wasn't achsually that great before" can ever make me forget how great and natural living in ethnostates without any jewish fag parades is.

I saw it with my own eyes and I KNOW it was better, i'm not just presuming.
Of course the problem is that the zoomers or gen alpha that never saw it are susceptible to jewish lies "crime is part and parcel of city life" "it wasnt achsually that great" "ethnostates are a myth that never existed".

In fact Europeans tomorrow will be what Americans are today, the Americans alive now never saw it when it was still a White ethnostate back in 1960, before the 1965 (((Hart-Celler))) Act aka "Make America Non-White Act" got passed and changed everything.

The kikes are already fooling Americans into thinking that it wasn't good back then - when in reality it was and 1950 America was a society only bested by 1990 Scandinavia and nothing else

The Russians never stood a chance to the jews. The jewish commissaars simply became jewish oligarchs and took control of the nation.
Pic rel is the whole story how the judeo-bolshevik KGB put Putin in power by bombing apartment buildings in Moscow in -99, blaming it on Chechens that had nothing to do with it, and Putin running on a security and revenge platform.
Then he solidified the power for his cabal of jewish oligarchs purging anyone else vying for power, and did the wars to project power and show "im the new big kid on the block"

They have their immense natural resource wealth stolen by jews to even worse extent that kikes are looting us in the West, in fact lot of the russian natural resources are building Israel's GDP instead of Russias, in fact 30% of israelis speak russian.

The world will never be fixed until all the jews are killed. Jews need to be cleansed from this planet - hunted down to extinction.
No more mr nice guy like Hitler who only was going to deport them like thousand European leaders before him.
No, the jews need to be killed. Every drop of jewish blood cleansed from the planet.

Sounds like a hard job. Yes.
But today its possible to genetically modify viruses.
I'm thinking of a virus where people are asymptomatic carriers, but when the virus finds a marker of jewish DNA, it attacks and kill the target

>don't truly remember people hyping about Y2K in here.
Because it didn't happen in any large extent.
Being hysterical is an American thing, it didn't happen here.
The news simply explained the problem, and how computer people were working on fixing the problems and everything should be fine because of that.
We didn't also have all the jews that USA does who deliberately propagandized and worked up the people so they could sell more "Y2K survival kits" and other bullshit.
Y2K was a giant party and 2000 was the last year of innocence before 2001 and 9/11 changed everything
It's a good example of a jewish media spectacle too considering that 9/11 isnt actually that big of a deal compared to everything else, like kikes have killed over a hundred of 9/11's in Gaza already during just this latest genocide

It reminds like the Holocaust, because Holocaust didn't happen but even if you believed it did and with the 6 million horseshit numbers, millions more Whites died in WWII yet somehow the kikes are the victim

I was too busy fucking lots of stupid bitches in high school. Graduated in 98 and we all thought cellphones in bags and Y2K was by faggots-for faggots.

Interesting that it differs that much by country.
In Y2K everyone had a cellphone here and they were thought to be cool, nobody thought it was for faggots. We had the highest percentage of mobile phones on the planet back then.

Some of it might have to do with the fact that we manufactured them and Nokia was our largest company it was a source of national pride

>did it really feel like it was the end of history during the 1990s?
no, it felt like it was just beginning. there was an air of hope and optimism in the air. the internet was brand new and presented all these new technological potentials. the USA was the undisputed world superpower and literally everything was better than it is now.

>>507812584 (OP)
Nothing changed.

My hometown wasn't filled caribbean spics and my dad didn't have to work with Indians. There were only a few mind-control screens in a house. There wasn't one in everyone's pocket that could feed them personalized psyops. The world has changed drastically, retard.

Saved.

Yeah 2001 was the last good year unironically.

Iirc she was 25 or so. A very hard 25. Maybe his daughter.

And then multiculturalism happened and made us "stronger"

This was peak technology. Just enough technology if you will. You could call and message people and the Internet was still the white man's space.
