Decline of Functioning Society

I too feel this way.



For the record... the perception that everything we are told is a lie has been something most members of this forum (and members of its predecessor RVF) have collectively felt for over ten years now....so it could just be normies playing catch up to something we have already known for over a decade now.

Since AI and tech has taken over more and more daily functions, people are using their brains less and less to figure things out. For instance finding directions to a location while driving is all automated now, whereas in the past you needed to plan this a bit more. Interactions with other humans have been reduced even more in the last few years as they now have self check-outs in supermarkets, and most people order everything else online instead of going to a store. Each year we have less human interactions, and lose more control in thinking and decision making processes..

I would be curious to know if these strange perceptions of current reality being "off" can be found only in those people who took the covid shots, or also in those who didn't.

Also, don't forget during 2020-2021 they installed all those 5G towers everywhere.


This short (but infamous) scene from "the matrix" movie from the year 1999 is also relevant

As do I.

Never really participated with whatever the current thing was prior to 2020 but I thought what I saw in the news comported with reality. In fact, I used to pride myself getting news from Reuters, because I thought it was closest to the source or something. Embarrassing, yes.

I work with many normies in my corporate environment who are totally plugged in still (and boosted). I think they sense something is off but it's redirected entirely at Trump, or Putin, or Russia, or something like that. Or, even redirected to people like us - we are just crazy anti-vaccine conspiracy nuts that are endangering the world and making it unsafe. And now we have created Hitler (Trump).

Yeah exactly. The video was kind of idiotic to me. It’s like what these people are figuring this out now? They are decades late, I realized all this while I was a teenager.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are going to try to sell me some ‘off grid’ ‘solution’ next for $99.99.

Another thing they are posting this on TikTok which is part of the matrix with its short form snippets to destroy attention spans. Versus say a forum like this one with valuable posts. These people are either slow and stupid or complicit.

Too many third worlders, capitalism (satanic usury is what capitalism is based upon) has run its course, and everything feels empty.

I was just watching "Back To the Future" last night. Everyone should watch this movie again, and look at it as a time capsule and not a movie. My thoughts on it, back when the USA was still the USA...

Almost everyone is White. There is abundance and happiness. The 1950's are so pristine is a running joke in the movie. The 1980's are still super pristine compared to today. If you watch the 2nd movie, you can see what people in the 1980's hoped 2015 would look like, and probably would look like if we didn't import 10's of millions of third worlders.

Whites are okay with diversity, and it somewhat works, when it is 10 to 20% of the population. At 50%, it is destroying everything. And now all the capital has floated to the top on Wall Street. Small towns are broken down, and falling apart and full of people doing drugs to escape reality. The suburbs are really just soulless refugee camps for Whites to live and stay safe in, while the inner city is turned into a war zone. And the source of these problems, the third world invasion, is ramped up by both parties, making everything worse year by year. We reached the tipping point. Stores are stocked with cheap garbage and yet most people can't afford it due to the lack of capital in the bottom 99%. Everything is soulless and still too expensive. The wonders and magic are now replaced by the reality and grim. And as the third world moves over, in increasing numbers, and as they are paid with our tax dollars to spit out kids, it will only get worse.

 
I don't expect civil war, I expect collapse, more like the USSR, and then afterwards I have no idea what will happen.

I think we will keep having a gradual decline in purchasing power across the West, and a shrinking middle class. More snakes/chutes, fewer ladders in this economic game, and fewer liberties to go along, more wayward young women, deranged older women and feral fatherless youth.

This really started in the 1980s-90s, and is accelerating a bit the last 10 years. You look at Google photos of restaurant menus and see older prices from the late 2010s being listed and watch them gradually blow up year to year.

Trump is throwing just enough red meat to keep half of his base with the program, while putting most of his efforts into fighting the handful of decent politicians in DC.

I agree with everything you said. The one thing I am noticing is that so few are satisfied and the anger is picking up quickly. At the same time, this system is having to borrow more and more just to keep from going under. We bring in more third worlders, the system just gets weaker at a quickening pace. We can now see the water swirling above the drain.

How much longer is anyone's guess. But I don't think they can keep the charade up much longer, 10 to 20 years, unless they make some major revision and correct it to back to say 2005 levels of fraud and degeneracy, and then maybe they can keep it going a few more generations.

This is merely a function of human development. "I think, therefore I am." If one wants to change what they're feeling then they must change what they are thinking (and doing). It is quite literally a state of mind brought on by advancements in human technology. The "smart" phone is literally creating our thoughts and hence our feelings. If you want to stop feeling "weird" about our current era then you have to unplug from The Matrix and return to The Garden (our natural state). Put down the phone and pick up an axe. Sell your downtown condo located next to all the cool bars and move to the woods with a bunch of books.

"But I don't want to live alone in the woods!" Well, you really have no other options as the world is becoming more crazy, and hence we will continue to feel more crazy should we remain in close proximity to it.

Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are the first generations in human history to have developed in the midst of super high tech. It has made us feel special, it has coddled us and made us feel safe, and thus given us all unreal expectations about life. The Expected Life, and The Actual Life are currently colliding thus creating vast amounts of human dissatisfaction, confusion, and suffering. Life is and always has been difficult. So the problem that humans between the ages of 15 and 60 are facing right now is an issue of unrealistic expectations brought on by the coziness and comfort of 70 years of high tech (computers, washers, dryers, power tools, etc.) via unlimited access to electricity. Ironically, this easy life has led Gen Z in particular to believe that no generation has ever had it so hard and that no other generation has ever faced such a bleak future which of course is complete cognitive dissonant lunacy. Being a 20 year old man in America in 2026 is a blessing compared to being a 20 year old man in America in 1865.

God made us to be simple creatures spending our days either alone or with small groups of men walking and running great distances in pursuit of killing animals for food. And so what does one expect to happen when you take a man built for one thing and put him to "work" in an office chair literally doing nothing for years on end? Of course many of us are feeling "off" and like we are going crazy. Why? Because we are.

The solution? Each man must discover that for himself. But moving toward a monastic life of simplicity in nature and outdoor manual labor while avoiding many of the toxic people in the world is a great place to start. No victims. No excuses. Make it happen. Change your life for the better. When the world throws us lemons, we gotta' make lemonade.

Is it really?

Sure you have more technology today and you can have a car and a dishwasher etc but in 1865 people did not have 30 year mortgages, could afford to get married young and have multiple children, most likely got to marry a young virgin woman who respected them and their food was natural and not filled with goyslop and they didn’t have 5G, plastics and the million other things polluting their bodies.

Every age has its hardships and I’m not sure it is useful to try and compare them. Ages of the past had more physical and material hardships, but the struggle with these built character and demanded innovation. Today’s age is one of material prosperity as a result of the past hardships and innovations, but this has presented different psychological, moral, and spiritual hardships, struggles and temptations. There is no such thing as the ideal age in our world, and you could probably make a case that any age was worse than another. The devil never sleeps.

That's why I don't buy into the doomer thinking of being born into the wrong time. Any time you look at, there were people complaining about the same things we complain about. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Ecclesiastes 1:8-11:
All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.

That’s actually the same verse I was thinking of when I responded, there is nothing new under the sun. I kind of like to think of our time as an opportunity to fight as the underdog, where you’re surrounded on all sides and have to dig deep to fight against demoralization and rely on strength in God. And also understanding that this is a generational fight. A realization that this may be something we may lose in our short lives on a material level, but have to carry the flame within us and pass that torch on to our children. That’s something I’m working on.

Edit: I suppose the above is true of all times, which would just reinforce the point.

It's not about comparison, but about perspective. Thinking about a time without electricity (or antibiotics or anesthesia or novicane) and what your life would be like without it helps to put your current "hardships" into perspective and hopefully make you more appreciative and grateful for what your current society's reality does provide. We all know the current problems (which is why it's so bothersome to have them repeated ad nauseum without providing any real solutions). The world is a dark, evil place. Everyone here knows this. Let's not wallow in it. Let's decide how we are going to spiritually transcend this "reality" by getting our own house in order and hopefully moving towards a life of good works that provides some kind of benefit to others. Part of our current problem, of which I am most certainly guilty of, is that most Western humans are spending too much of their lives focused on The Self and their personal net worth, and not enough time connecting with and helping their neighbors. This is how (((The Enemy))) has gained such a foothold in our spirit and culture, by rewarding us with material pleasures when we are selfish, greedy, and living in fear.

Any time you look at, there were people complaining about the same things we complain about.
This is the most relevant point in the thread. A couple of years ago I was driving down the road listening to Rush Limbaugh going off about our collapsing economy only to find out the broadcast was a 20 year-old "best of" rerun. That really pissed me off. I'm so sick of everybody making doom and gloom predictions that never come to fruition.
