If you're like me, it's depressing to wake up and realize the greatest of months, pride month is now over. I feel a wave of depression coming over me that even banning people in my subreddits/Discord servers doesn't seem to fix.

At least pride month can forever live in our hearts

Someone in the gaming section the other day mentioned how Youtube was over once normies realized they could make money on it.

I agreed and elaborated. But I want to know something. That fake, overly enthusiastic, faggy way of talking they all do...how and why did they arrive there? How and why did the normies go "that....being a retarded faggot and talking like one...that's the gold rush boys!!!"

I want to know the progression.

When I was watching early youtube, the popular people had edge, were raw, and were usually ranty and negative, like most talking heads usually are, because that's far more entertaining to watch. A funny bitter guy like Anthony Cumia is 1000x more interesting than an Ellen Degeneras with her insincerity.

So what the heck made the faggy youtube voice/personality the golden ticket in the minds of normies? What was that pipeline that led there?

Woke was and is a good word, but I find that the left too easily dismiss you if you use the word woke. They just immediately erect a mental strawman image of you and go "oh you're one of those who still cries about wokeness".

Now I'm not saying stop using the word woke. If you abandoned every word that the left tried to recontexualize, you'd have no words left.

But I do think using the word political correctness needs to start being used again more. It's been largely abandoned in favor of woke, but saying someone is being politically correct has an advantage over woke. It's pointed and all people know that being politically correct is stuffy and lame.

I hear them go "woke is just a code word for someone who actually has empathy".

I've yet to hear them justify the term politically correct. It makes the person being called politically correct feel prudish in a way that calling them woke doesn't. If you call them woke, they sometimes wear that as a badge feeling like it makes them a champion of "justice".

When you call someone out for being politically correct, it's still got that lame quality that even the perpetually lame left hasn't been able to spin into a positive because unlike woke, you're not just saying they have upside down values. You're saying they have upside down values and they're a tiptoeing, pussyfooting, coward who adheres to strict lanes out of obedience. With being called woke they can still justify that that's who they authentically are. But if you say they're being politically correct, you're taking it a step further and pointing to them that if it weren't for society encouraging them to say exactly what they said in the exact way you're supposed to say it; they wouldn't be saying it; ie they're a drone.

Hollywood has always been primarily been made up in the powerful positions of Jews.

And yet in prior decades, there was plenty of good white role models in films and even politically incorrect jokes aimed at minorities.

Now everyone, whether they be white, Jewish, black, Indian, middle eastern, if they're in a powerful position, they attack white people.

So did Jews who produced movies like Rocky, it's a wonderful life, and other good uplifting movies with non-Jewish actors suddenly become insanely evil enacting an anti-white agenda recently.

People blame the Jews because they are a small group occupying powerful positions. So what? Jews are good with money, work hard, have a higher average IQ and hire based according to their own interests. That's how it should be. I wish white people were like that. We hire against our interests. And many Jews like all the powerful people are anti-white.

But I think that has more to do with the power and less to do with the Jewishness.

In China they persecute Christians and there's very few Jews there.

In Mexico the police will extort you if you're white especially and there's not a ton of Jews there. In the middle east they'll kill you if you're Christian and depending on the country there's not a lot of Jews there.

I think instead, it's a modern spiritual demonic attack aimed at destroying Christian values. Jews happen to be in a lot of powerful positions in America, but it's not like the non-Jews aren't heartily and happily applauding the destruction of white demographics.

Again, why would Jews in the 80s or earlier have good white role models in TV and movies? Why would the Andy Griffith show exist in a world where Jews are by default against white people? Has something changed with them in particular that hasn't changed with society at large since then?

I'm, for the first time, reading the 1970s - 1980s Marvel Star Wars comics. You know the ones with that infamous green rabbit.

I love that type of sci fi, in that buck rogers in the 25th century or Flash Gordon vein. The 70s and early 80s nailed that vibe and it's a hard one to describe exactly.

Most sci fi especially comics it seems when you search for it is dreary or is trying to make a statement. That's not what I want. I want space opera/pulpy/fun. And if it came out in the 70s and 80s that would be ideal. I find that modern people who try to replicate old mindsets aren't usually very successful and you can detect the modernity even in subtle ways.

I thought about asking "Askscored" but since KotakuinAction is more involved in the geek/nerd sphere I figured some of you would be knowledgeable about comics.

Based was a thing those on the right would say.

Now I see leftists and normies calling anything they like based.

And it's actually caught on and it's been thoroughly co-opted. Here's the thing though, it's not because they ran a successful campaign to get it to catch on. The left has been trying to co-opt snowflake and red-pilled for years and can never make headway. We all just laugh when we see the left trying to call someone with righteous indignation a snowflake.

There are two reasons based caught on.

1. It wasn't that good to begin with. Unlike snowflake which is targeted and specific, and you pretty much get the picture immediately, based never made any sense. Even looking it up didn't provide much clarity. It would be something about some rapper or something called basedgod or something? I don't know. The point is, it was lame to begin with.

2. Because it was so vague, the right barely knew what it meant, and the leftists and normies definitely don't know what it means, especially nowadays. It's not like snowflake where they know exactly what it means and they hate it. No one really knows what based means, nor ever did. It was inevitable that a retarded ebonics lexicon would find itself diluted into the sea of retarded ebonics lexicon'.

The right has had some great and pointed terms through the years. Red-pilled, NPC, Snowflake, etc. Based was not one of our better efforts. It was always lame.

When you type "Vaush rebuttal", the first video not by Vaush that comes up is a former fan, who, along with the commenters, complain that he's not progressive enough and has "mysognistic" and "American-centric" tendencies.

Enough said

I see now in hindsight that he was always anti-white, but I didn't really see it at the time because he was more subtle back then and he also would gripe about the white guilt movies.

I viewed him as one of the lone brave truth tellers, particularly about feminism and women.

What a fall from grace he turned out to be. Brave is not how I'd describe Bill Burr.

I rarely am embarrassed for liking someone. In middle school, I, like all other middle schoolers at that time, thought Dane Cook was hilarious. Now I don't think he's the worst thing ever like he's made out to be, but I can see that it was more about perfect timing with Dane Cook. I was the exact right age for Dane Cook to be hilarious to me. I don't feel embarrassed because I understand the timing.

With Bill Burr, he actually makes you embarrassed you ever recommended him as someone who's "raw" and "tell's it like it is".

I mean it doesn't feel like that long ago I was doing that.

Also the guy who always said the government wants to eliminate people and drastically reduce the population goes all in for the vax and says people who don't get it are conspiratorial and whatever.

Has anyone so blatantly 180'd as Bill Burr?

You know how they view the past as America being white centric or Euro-centric. Most of the movies were all white casts in the 50-60s and earlier, and they called that Eurocentric.

No that's just the natural result of a majority culture producing art. When those guys who make those funny action movies in Africa on those super cheap budgets, I don't for a second think that they're being "Afro-centric". They're a bunch of Africans who are black who are making movies using the people most around them.

That's what you expect and do see everywhere. In the 1960s and earlier the US black population was very small and people didn't have this retarded idea of equal representation, whatever that's supposed to mean so writers would write based on what their culture was like and things that formed their experience.

Now fast-forward to what they do now, the new Assassin's Creed being just the latest example, that literally IS afro-centric. They accused America in the past of doing something unnatural when it was the natural thing for people who write a story to it be based on THEIR culture, and use that as an excuse to do an actual unnatural thing which is force a distasteful culture on everybody and everything.

Millennials overuse the word "awesome". It's like the one thing they/we say.

This pizza is awesome. That song is awesome, etc. It totally devalues the word and renders it meaningless.

Gen Z has retarded ebonics slang, like "no cap", "bussin" fr fr", etc.

It should be obvious why that's bad.

Do your part and start incorporating words like rad and groovy into your speech. Tubular is too of it's time and people wouldn't take it seriously. But casually using rad and groovy would become accepted I believe.

We've lost the latitude of language we had in the 90s and earlier to describe things.

Instead, black slang started dominating in the 2000s and has only gotten worse.

Now the only word that isn't ghetto slang that people use is "awesome" or "cool".

Also don't use it in a hipster or ironic way. Just use it like you would normally and people will get used to it.

I know this is a weird question, but let me give you some context. I live with my parents. I live in a place where I can't get anywhere that I want to. No public transport and I don't have a car.

I used to live downtown and took the bus. Back then I had a read on people.

It's been a while since I've interacted with the general public. I see people at receptions for doctors appointments or whatnot, but that's about it.

One thing in the past though is that I could hate the beliefs of someone, yet like them well enough as a person.

I despise feminism, but I felt that individual feminists I could be cordial with and they'd be cordial with me. That most individuals will be friendly on some level and you can connect on some level.

I really truly don't know what people are like now.

I see what they're like on the internet and the news, but that is very unreliable to what the day to day experience is like.

I assume some of you live in cities and interact daily with many different types of people. What is it like "In the real world?" to be a little tongue in cheek.
