Do you feel any political nostalgia towards the year 2016?

The first Trump election, I remember everyone celebrating on /pol/, we all felt like we had achieved the impossible, also I'd say the meltdowns were better than in 2024, libs just couldn't believe that he had won.

Truly a magical moment.

The only reason why 2016 was good at all was because far right ideology became mainstream, or atleast it did online, but really that was mostly a reaction to how bad things were getting, so its like a paradoxical reason, the truth is society got worse after 9/11, then got alot worse after 2007/2008 then, then somehow managed to get even worse in 2016, and then took an absolute straight down free fall once covid hit in 2020/2021.

>what do you mean?

Technoblade not what normies think actually bullied the shit out of kids on Minecraft, so when he got cancer I wasn’t surprised then normies found out and thought he was a victim and went schizo mode with “technoblade never dies” as cope

in 2016 i was at a bar having beers with my professor and a graduate student and the female graduate student was literally screaming at me for saying 'i think trump is going to win because his side wants to vote for him, where-as Hillary's side just wants to vote against Trump, not for her.' and she said i wasted my vote voting for the Green party after i i said i felt the election was stolen from Bernie.
me and my professor were looking at her like she was insane. little did we know this was just the beginning of this sort of behavior.

i was having alot of sex with 18-19 year olds around this time as well.. i miss that ALOT. it bothers me every day that i won't plunge a teen ever again.

she was, i think, more angry that i thought it was even possible he would win, even thought i had made it clear i didn't want him to. she was more upset that i thought that was likely than the 'wasted vote' thinking..
which made it all just that more bizarre. i was pretty stoked to get invited out for beers with a professor.. its a shame she spoiled it like she did.

I remember that like it was yesterday.
I was in middle of an academic conference. Genuinely couldn’t give a shit about the presentations, was glued on /pol/ refreshing the tabs every 5 seconds. Trump flipping PA was insanity. And the salt was beyond delicious.

Too bad that was the peak of Trump’s presidency. 8 years later and I think that bullet should’ve hit the fag.

actually I do have some amount of nostalgia for 2016, just not politically. I was in great shape, had a fun job, a bunch of coworkers I loved going out with on Friday nights, I got my lasik surgery done, I had recently begun playing music again back then, I had also taken up kayaking on weekends and started reenacting. 2016 was unironically a great time for me.

reminder that there is no "pop culture" anymore for the young ones
they're literally not a big enough market and that's why the suits are just repackaging everything from when millennials and gen-x'ers were kids and reselling it over and over
the kids don't have any kind of pop culture or music culture of their own

Mostly wannabe anime avatarfags.
They think 4chan went to shit in 2016. In 2016 most anons weren't even here anymore, the site and most things coincidentally had died years before. You can say that some anons (far from tourists by the way, it's the opposite, anons had left leaving the cancer the real tourists and local cancers here interacting among themselves) came back due to the politics going but beyond that, it's an unremarked year.

Time travel absolutely exists and you may not use it.

Truth , I have two kids and they're 100% into the same shit I was into as a kid. Fun from a nostalgic stand point but outside of stuff like paw patrol it really is just rehashes. Pokemon is the same shit too. At least mumble rap has for the most part disappeared.

2012-2013 were the last years I was out at house parties almost every weekend, movies and videogames were starting to become shit, but there was still good stuff out there, these were the last good years.

The 2020 lockdowns when everyone was playing CoD Warzone was comfy as fuck. This is evidence that no, we didn’t “just grow up”, but that the world and culture is actually shit because of judeo-Marxist psyops.

The only good thing about 2016 was /pol/, after Trump won I literally got a job because internet and videogames were boring as fuck now. 2014-2015 was the “indie game era” simply because everything else was shit. This is when I went back and played every retro game I thought was good, and discovered it’s depressing and boring to go back and play them. You get at most 1-2 days of entertainment from them before it’s time to put them away.

Also oldfags love to talk about how stuff went to shit after 2001, but go look at the movies and videogames and culture from 01-08, it’s some of the best stuff out there. You can actually see the decline if you look at the top 100 grossing movies by year. In around 2011-13 shit starts getting sprinkled in, then 2014 and on it’s all shit mostly, with a few good ones sprinkled in.

It seems to line up with the generational divide pretty well, as the class of 2014 is one of if not the last millenial class.

I feel bad for oldfags who NEED the world to have ended before 2008-2012. 2001-2008 were comfy as fuck as a kid, we did crazy shit, went outside, biking all around town miles away, we played retro games even, we’d get back home and play N64, ps1 and 2, etc. me and my friend stole my dads car when we couldn’t even drive to go to the mall with 2 girls.

One thing that does suck is for some reason the mall became uncool. If you said you were going to the mall random faggots would act all gay about it. The new thing was “house parties” which were fucked, 50 teenagers doing molly in a basement somewhere, we were so beautiful.

The only 2 periods of time I have any nostalgia for are
>95'-99' for obvious reasons
>post graduation early college years for obvious reasons
Having nostalgia for consumer products is something only the most castrated goy could experience

^The monoculture is why we talk about popular culture and movies and shit. Those things go hand in hand with actual culture. No reason to ride a bike with your friends to the movies if they’re all shit, Halloween is shit if you don’t really care for what you dress up as, it’s all connected, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

Technoblade pushed the vaxx onto his viewers too. He actually got his cancer at the vaxx injection site.
