Like, I appreciate that the Overton Window shifts, but there’s no way this shit is organic…
It’s everywhere, now. Not just college campuses. Not just the internet. Not just cable news. In urban Australia, it is almost literally inescapable (unless you never turn on the TV, never use a streaming service, never read the news, and practically never leave your suburb).
It’s… Bizarre. And people have become afraid to speak out, or question it.
Hell, I even know some of my own family members (and family friends) have started to “adopt” political positions fundamentally at odds to the beliefs they claimed to hold, less than a decade ago… So much so that it takes getting them in a one-on-one, face to face situation to admit they secretly don’t believe what they pretend to, when around the rest of the family, or that they secretly don’t believe that the endless boosters and masks will “protect” them from this virus that everyone around me claims to still fear…
It’s… I don’t think I’ve ever seen society be this… Conformist, and cowed, and fundamentally… “Degenerate”.
Honestly, from where I sit, it feels like the loudmouth activists have won, and “we”/normies have fundamentally lost.
It’s fucking disillusioning AF. Just look at any “documentary” that covers how things have “changed” in the last 2-3 decades. I promise you, you’ll see the trend…
Something’s gotta give. Society can only bend so far left before it a) breaks, or b) snaps back.
More and more this feels like the last days of Athens/Rome/Constantinople. I very much doubt we have the technology and wherewithal to prevent a similar collapse.
Stay sane, y’all. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep pushing back, for what that’s worth…
10% of humans is still a billion of humans. If there was a previous civilization as developed as ours, we would have found their satellites and evidence of their nuclear tests at least.
Where did I say they used nukes or satellites lmfao
So, numerous civilizations have existed for 300,000 years yet not one managed to reach our level of development?
over the course of 300,000 years of anatomically modern humans (indisputable fact)
there have been over a dozen “civilization ending events” (indisputable fact, check the video linked earlier in the thread)
if you think that humans were content to sit in caves jerking off for 288,000 years, until one day inventing farming 12,000 years ago (which just happens to coincide DIRECTLY with the last cosmic impact, the Younger Dryas Impact), well i hate to break it to you but the boosters might have turned your brain mushy
Like I said to another #Skeptic, you couldn’t build the Great Pyramid if you had all the resources of the world at your disposal. There’s a lot more to the story than fits in your world view.
So, over the last 300,000 years there have been over a dozen periods lasting over 20,000 years each, over which humans were building civilizations, but not one of these civilizations has managed to reach our level of development (which we managed in 12,000 years), with sole exception that they built the pyramids. Is that what you claim?
