Thread 520720400

You would think that 9/11, the housing bubble, a recession, PC culture and the corporate takeover of the internet would be enough to ruin things. Make them uncomfy.

But it was the opposite of that somehow. Nobody under 30 gave a shit about politics. Being deeply into politics or social justice or racism in a 2005 high-school was considered deeply uncool.

I almost feel guilty for getting to experience the last of a world that catered to the tastes and interests of young white men. Nobody was worried about fentanyl overdoses or trans rights.

They had a captive boomer audience binge watching cable news who could've easily been convinced to make a hard pivot to wokeism. But they didn't and I don't know why they didn't.

>>520720666

>>520720606

The 2000s was the decade of wiggers. Fuck the 2000s.

That's what I want to know. I mean I had the hots for a number of G4-Tech TV chicks, but this level of obsession is sort of depressing.
I ended up marrying a chick who looks like young Megan Morrone. I'm cool with it as I liked her on TechTV before meeting my future wife so maybe it was subliminal.

>baby's first demoralization thread

The whole purpose of feds on /pol/ is to blackpill alt-rightists into powerlessness. They do it every day.

Its because smart phones werent a thing yet. Social media and stuff existed sort of, but you needed a computer to access it so women barely were on it and boomers were too retarded for it. Smart phones gave easy internet access to all of the people that shouldnt have it.

Graduated high school in 1994, got the internet in December 1994 on my windows 3.1 Compaq Presario my dad bought us kids for education ". All we did was play doom 2, heretic on it and slowly load low res .jpg porn pics on it we found on early search engines like webcrawler and infoseek.

The early 2000s with dsl and Napster, torrents, new porn being available within an half hour of being released on brazzers/ etc, and people cracking video games practically the day they were released so you could pirate them before your buddies even got off work to go to gamestop and buy them...the early net was like the truest form of magic i think you'd ever experience.

you don't need to put in effort blackpilling anyone. lots of oldfags on this board thought being a loser for life would be fun as hell with the internet of the 2000s and the rapid progression of vidya as their frame of reference. in 2025 we know everything is totally shit and all of our hopes for what the internet and our other hobbies would turn into have been raped to death.

The demoralization is towards new blood.

It started to go downhill when apple released the first "smart phone." Before that we would hook up our xbox's and 360's to a big crt tv to play halo LAN parties. Internet was either a comfy 56k modem dial up or a lightning speed 5mb/s DSL. Video game devs were still good at their jobs. Too bad it that would all change by 2010.

Also, did I forget to mention that India didn't have nearly as much access to the internet yet? So forums tended to be a much better place.

Cause the internet was still fun back then. It was a place where social rejects could relax and enjoy themselves.

Because it was the last decade men were still in control. America, along with the entire western world, became a fully gynocentric society after Obama (the first gay president) was elected.
