self-derogation means agreement with the following:
I feel I do not have much to be proud of.
Sometimes I think I am no good at all.
I feel that I can't do anything right.
I feel that my life is not very useful.
Manipulators and abusers typically control other people by first "breaking them down" and making them feel hopelessness, despair, helplessness, and self-loathing, so that the victim will look towards the abuser and beg for a way out. And the abuser is ready to provide it: servitude to the abuser is the only salvation.
This is how the Left breaks and conditions people. It is a cult.
I saw a clip yesterday of some teenager who made a "before and after finding the Tate brothers" compilation where he shows himself as chubby and depressed, and the after shows him lifting weights and getting leaner, stronger, and smiling.
It was kinda cringe, but the comments were extremely supportive and full of young men saying how depressed they were before they found Tate and how much happier they are now.
Began in 2012? It began with the introduction of public schools. Everything bad going on today really starting ramping up in the 1800s. Communism, feminism, government control over kids, trans, etc... The 1800s is when it really started being pushed heavily and the early 1900s is when wars over it broke out and all your seeing now is the result of losing those wars.
The French and American revolutions are the cause of nearly all problems today, but your post makes you sound like a clown. The 1800s were the hayday of Victorianism, but that is because they managed to put the genie of the French Revolution back in the bottle for a century at the Congress of Vienna.
Mostly because it led to the French Revolution due to the French crown's bankruptcy and the ideology that was dominant. Viewed in isolation, it was not all that bad. Its consequences throughout the world, on the other hand, for a people to throw off their sovereign and be successful as a result.
I see. I think they would have gone broke anyway and the French revolution would have happened around a similar time regardless, but I could be wrong about that.
Some historians indeed believe that the French Revolution was inevitable. And this is one of the subjects where the more you learn about it, the less you know and understand.
But it's certainly possible things would not have happened the same way without the near-bankruptcy and the ideological inspiration provided by the American revolution - though they made a mighty mess of it. Hell, even as it is, it appeared very contingent.
I listened to the podcast series 'Revolutions' by Mike Duncan and season 3 (iirc) is about the French revolution. It was really good. Duncan is a lefty but he seems to have kept his bias out of it for the most part, but I'm looking for more good content about this topic.
no, nerds and pencil pushers were on the internet. social media on smartphones put The internet in everyone's hands, making the news headlines and social media front and center in their lives.
as for the iPhone, the uptick in the OP graph almost perfectly coincides with the adoption of smartphones.
no, nerds and pencil pushers were on the internet.
True of the time before AOL. By 1997, AOL had more than 34 million subscribers. These were not nerds and pencil pushers.
I had internet before AOL was big through services that only "nerds" would use. I watched the normie influx to the internet in real time. I was there for it.
social media on smartphones put The internet in everyone's hands
You're simply wrong, and you don't understand history.
"social media" started in a big way at scale with Friendster, and then Myspace got incredibly huge from 2005, then years later was displaced by Facebook in 2009.
as for the iPhone, the uptick in the OP graph almost perfectly coincides with the adoption of smartphones.
No it does not. The uptick is 2012, maybe back to 2010 at the earliest. Blackberries were very popular in the mid 2000s and were smartphones. The iphone came out in 2007.
AOL may have put more normie nerds on the Internet, but they were still nerds. 34 million is a minority chunk of the American populace. Yes social media did exist well before Facebook in the other Giants that we all know and hate today, but adoption was far from universal. The majority of people in America did not have any sort of online footprint except maybe for email. That changed with the smartphone, between 2007 and 2012 the adoption of personal computers that follow people around ramped up to the point where by the time you get to 2013 or 2014, almost everyone in the entire United States had an online footprint. That mass adoption changed the internet from being a niche thing, even a normie niche thing, to a ubiquitous thing that everyone was a part of whether they liked it or not.
As for the uptick, look closer: It starts just before 2009. this would have been a year and a half to two years after the iPhone with its very normie friendly interface released. back then, a year and a half was plenty of time for adoption to incubate from the early adopters to the mass market
Their war against children began decades ago. The science fiction writing community has been filled with pedophiles since the sixties. Look up the book The Last Closet by Moira Greyland.
This is very sad. Self loathing is one of the pillars of society's decline. Many of these children will never find meaning or value in their lives, only fake activism and hedonism.

It's why guys like Andrew Tate are so popular.

Reading about Freire and how his commie bullshit has infested the academic system is so disgusting and frustrating.

How is the American revolution the cause of our problems?
Mostly because it led to the French Revolution due to the French crown's bankruptcy and the ideology that was dominant. Viewed in isolation, it was not all that bad. Its consequences throughout the world, on the other hand, for a people to throw off their sovereign and be successful as a result.

wow look at that, the spike immediately starts after the iPhone is released and the internet gets unlocked for normies. Social media was a mistake
uhm, iphone was 2007. normies were on AOL in the 90s and on friendster and then myspace even before the iphone

Id say obama was when all this woke craziness went into overdrive. All the identity politics had the entire social media and legacy media behind it.

Would be curious to see this broken down by race as well.
Next you'll be surprised that women have higher rates of depression than men.
Not everyone is miserable. It's just you.
