I've always wondered why we didn't just get wokeism 10 years before it became a thing.

>total control over media
>internet still relatively niche
>boomers still in the driver seat

>PC culture and Feminism already a problem

Was 9/11 and the Middle East such a distraction that they didn't have the time to psyop us back home?

What’s been killing us is the connection to the giant parasite of the third world. It really started latching on at the end of the 2000s.

Wokeism is a successful divide and conquer tactic used against the youth behind occupy Wall Street.

The powers that be thought the Christian Right was going to be a terror forever.
Honestly, look at South Park and the commentary/interviews the makers gave back then.
Season 1, they talk about how Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride caused massive shit storms that they had to change the title of the episode for broadcast, they had to argue with the channel, all sorts of shit.
Then by Season 7, not long after, one of the biggest trends in the US was metrosexuality.
The Christian Right had self-destructed in that time because as it turns out, most people didn't give a fuck about gays, never heard of trannies, and were tired of religious nutjobs telling them what to do.
This was in part a reaction to 9/11 as well because that was a time period where Abortion clinics were getting shot up and bombed, and now religious fundamentalists from a different religion were also blowing shit up.
The fact George W. also claimed religion to explain what he did further pissed people off.
So generally that bogeyman that was supposed to keep people fighting amongst themselves died (it would come back later but that's not pertinent to the discussion).

Then with the housing market crash, great recession, whatever you want to call it, now that there was no bogeyman, a grassroots movement recognizing the issues of class in the US started to form.
Occupy Wall Street.
Most media at the time tried to pretend OWS didn't exist, until the idea to infiltrate it with IdPol came up.
IdPol/Wokeism/etc took off like a wildfire because once it started to get pushed (by people who got rich for pushing it), the media started focusing on that and only that.
And suddenly Americans had a reason to hate each other again instead of hating the rich assholes who run everything.
I'm curious what the next trend will be, given we're seeing signs that suggest most americans have stopped giving a fuck about IdPol and just want an economy that doesn't cater to the investor class.

They absolutely did not, people idolize for example lan parties, I remember how as soon as cellphones and gaming cafes came about you had this disjointed culture of people congregating to sit in silence and stare at monitors playing that shitty counter strike game and occasionally you'd have a sperg shout out at the top of his lungs
This was the first instance of a huge normalfag influx in gaming

The other thing that was definitely better than today was the chance of connecting with someone online since normalfags didn't conquer those spaces yet, Kikebook did not exist, closest thing to social network was vampirefreaks. When Myspace came along that was pretty much the end of the non-normalfag era

But no, there was very little soul to be had. Internet 2.0 was generally decent pre-social media, but even before 2009 there were cracks everywhere. I remember when Steam was scoffed at and Bill Gates was mentioned only as a creep who wanted to assimilate our free spaces, when DLC was ridiculed but as soon as Kiketube got big and connected to Goyphones the jig was up.

Early 2000s porn was difficult to find.

>>510760394 (OP)
Because social media hadn’t destroyed all subcultures and nations, yet. Myspace was the only one. Texting came out. Both tbose things had a negative impsct but real social media is what crushed the soul out of people.

Everyone’s attitude towards everything changes.

Decades overlap -- the 70s are very present into the mid-80s; the 80s; into the 90s, even beyond.

For the Digital Age (that's ultimately what did it) it took a little longer, because it was its ubiquity that caused things to go to shit. Eventuations like handing kinetic work and creativity over to machines; infusing the Third World into the discourse; delegating very human thought to LLM's etc., were contingent upon the digital means to do so and the implementation of the means--taking some time. Thus, it wasn't 'til about the 2010s we realised that owari da was upon us.

The Christian Right in the US has major problems, but ultimately the Christian cultures have the most stable nations when it's not overtaken by Evangelicals and Cath-Larpers.
But again, the reason the Evangelicals and Cath-Larpers were pushed up so high was because they were being used the same way IdPol is used now.

This is a good point, and even the women recognized and were fine with it. The women whose sole purpose was to be eye candy didn't get all uppity and actually believe that they were some critical asset to the the team.
I think by and large, the entire thing could be summarized with "people stayed in their lanes". This applied to niggers, faggots, women, etc.

You are correct.

The smart phone.

90% of everything turning into what it did was the smart phone.
It brought internet to the third world requiring little infrastructure beyond a cell bolted someplace high and power at the cell site.

In the 00s the internet was white and east asian mostly intelligent. Used as a library and means of connecting intelligent people through computers.
If you dealt with people on it they were from the usa, western europe, canada australia, new zealand, of similar culture and views, growing up in normal white nations and the worst you got was an occasional russian.
Now its mostly Indians using it to figure out how to move to your nation and replace you from a polluted shack in India, combined with spying, data collecting, and consumerism.

The smart phone ruined interaction by making most in public or at work/school look at a screen to fill time instead of at each other.
People stopped seeking eachother out localy for social needs.
It normalized spying and collecting data on everyone all the time.
It led to similar wireless tech being embedded in vehicles and appliances which is universaly used to spy and collect data and manipulate.
It led to social media access all the time.

The transition to post 2000s hell is 90% rooted in the smart phone going mainstream in the 2010s.

>>510769155
Heh 2012 really was the end of the world. It coincides with the year smart phones went mainstream.

You did, you just didn't know it was woke. George Carlin got rich telling jokes about how white people deserve to die. 28 Days Later is a metaphor for whites having to atone for their original sin. Endless feminist messaging in 70s and 80s sci-fi.
Right now is a moment of cultural clarity, where people are seeing things for what they are.

>>510769524
>The transition to post 2000s hell is 90% rooted in the smart phone going mainstream in the 2010s.

You're looking at it. Racism and conservatism are being championed and pushed by billionaires to counter leftists who would otherwise engage in Occupy-Wall-Street-type initiatives. Trump, Musk, Zuck, Thiel, and every other rich, corrupt, international, child-raping, election-buying asshole see that people are upset and want someone to blame. They will never allow people to point the finger at them.

>>510769199
>cyclist body type
That’s nothing like a runner’s body type

Everything from the mid-90s on is bullshit. Back then at least the girls were skinny and shit was cheap. This country actually died when McDonald's stopped selling fries cooked in beef tallow and the fried apple and cherry pies.

Nonsense. I remember some of this shit starting when I was a kid in the 70s-80s.... in Montana.
Search for Space Moose and see the cartoons from an Alberta college in the 90's. I had commy lesbian professors in MSU at the same time. This shit predates the 2000s.

>>510761451
Good post
>I'm curious what the next trend will be,
Some say an internet reset is due by 2030. They want all this anti-Israel noticing to cause enough violence for sweeping legislation. Sounds crazy but will probably happen.

They will pass a universal basic income carrot, many people will simply not work, not just neets, and this will create division. Zoomers and alphas are incredibly malleable, it's also possible their parents get sick from the jabs to greatly accelerate the gibs-for-rights agenda.

>hole/shitskin dominance
That always works out well.

The long, slow march through the institutions.
Critical theory didn't exist, and any reference to it was regulated to extreme corners of universities, and even then it was understood that it was an intellectual exercise, only, and not applicable to the real world. After all, who has more "privilege": the poor White homeless addict? Or the rich black nba player?

Once radical feminist "intellectuals" picked up on the concept the began to slowly and inexorably apply it to anything they could. After a few years it became ingrained into the college-level curriculum, as the retards who work there were all recent graduates and all they knew was how to parrot back the social-Marxist garbage they had been writing reports and essays on foot the prior years of their formative development. Eventually the next generation (a college "generation" is only 4 years, as opposed to the much longer biological generation) was completely indoctrinated in that garbage and went on to actual positions of power in society.
