Rich Poor Disparity Getting Worse. Inceldom Rises. Buying Power Decreases...

Infrastructure over 100 years old. Dark people are the majority now. Was at this zip line over the weekend, this black family of 5 went back and forth on the zipline 3 times each holding everybody else up lmfao. everyone shaking their head in disgust whilst they just smiled and laughed at the negativity and cortisol they gave to us. beautiful beautiful culture.


the question becomes,

is the west becoming 3rd world? or is it already there?



When I go to China people can afford clothes. people have the latest phones. People go out and eat food. no homeless drug addicts on the streets. Do you live in a bubble of chit?

I've said it before. We live in the country that the Greatest Generation built and the neoliberals sold.

White agency is imperialism, though!

Honestly DGAF about color,I like the idea of America being a multi-cultural melding pot, united in their pursuit of freedom. BUT...the MSM has been trying to contextualize anything "white" as "oppression" for the past 20 years is a dangerous precedent to set when historically that is exactly how tyrannies work up towards genocide.

Stay safe, bruhs.

This is a good point and likely part of why so many people have migrated into Portugal. It has increased real estate prices there and they are ending at least one of their citizenship programs.

I prefer to be in an area of people with higher incomes. A recent visit to Austin reminded me of this- how much nicer the parks and stores are, that people appear to be fitter and our more polite.

Agree. But why though?

Yes. And I lived through the 70s though I was only a child. There was still real discrimination going on and open hatred/lack of tolerance for out groups. But there was also a lot more social cohesion and human to human contact.

Sure it was. You probably wouldn't have 99% of the things you have today. You probably would have lived much shorter. Cars less safe,etc,etc.

I agree with your thread title, it's all true, however your last sentence applies to the US too. People can afford clothes, food and phones here?

Also, China sounds horrifying according to this guy:

Not sure why you chose to use China of all countries as example of anything positive.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't Austin basically a liberal chithole now? Their downtown is so small too, I don't see the appeal of living there.

Western people seem to think Chinese people are poverty af that can't afford phones. Simply changing that tune but with safety and much better infrastructure in the country. China has already leapfrogged the USA

Say what? Were they things you really need that badly?

- cell phone
- cable tv
- microwave
- video games
- internet

I think it is mostly all technology related. Not like we didn't have housing/food/clothes. We didn't have as many toys and distractions.

The politics have always leaned more liberal in Austin. There may be more crime than previously...I've seen some posts about 6th Street. The homeless wee reined in and cleaned up a lot.

I think in most big cities there are enclaves/'burbs where the wealthy choose to live and shop and they are usually safer and much more pleasant.

Yes, most people had some sort of air conditioning, at least in the hot climate I live in. Poorer people might have window units instead of central air. All the cars were less safe by today's standard and most people didn't really care about seat belts/car seats. I don't remember anyone not having a refrigerator. And health care was less insanely expensive than it is today by a good margin.

Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

I've been thinking about this for awhile. I'm old enough to remember when you could go to the grocery store and pick things up without having to call someone to come unlock the case. When you used to be able to return a pair of defective jeans (ripped/split too fcking easily) without giving them your driver's license info (this happened to me) and so on. I even recall people I grew up with saying they could return a movie and get a refund if they didn't like it. Music stores won't let you return books because they assume you bought the book and made photocopies of all the pages. Whew lad.

It all speaks to a decay of society and if culture. A lot of trashbags had to come along and ruin life for the rest of us.

People are not starving in America. Look at the "poor" Fat as ****. However, it sounds like a you thing. Yeah, Clown world is worse,but 95% of things are better.

true.

think about it...we are mostly distracted by technology a good 25% of our lives now.

so do people really live longer now? the perception of time moves a lot slower when you aren't constantly distracted. living 70 years in the 70s is probably equivalent to 90+ years of today's time.

there comes a point where instead of people owning technology...technology owns them.
