I was only 11 during 1999 but no one discussed politics.

There wasn't girls with purple hair running around screaming about cultural appropriation, political correctness either wasn't a thing or at least not forced, every band was a Eurodance band that had a black guy who rapped in all of their songs, people never got triggered, we met girls at the state fair via walkie talkies and pissed off their parents that were usually listening in.

It was a pretty cool time. Broadband still wasn't widespread and Winmx was the shit.

I want to go back. I just can't stand seeing the world turn into political correctness. It's only getting worse as time goes on too.

Politics of the 90s largely consisted of various wars, and riots. So basically nothing has changed.

The only difference is back then the media was much more transparently liberal and phony, so nobody really believed it. These days they are much more slick in their propaganda and people genuinely seem to believe it.
>>
>>125991947
Everything was political in 1999 if you were an adult. Marilyn Manson and Columbine were big topics for concerned parents. Goths and suicide and drugs and violence were big problems plus most chicks had dyed multicolored hair and were angry 90s feminists. If it wasn't for video games and Limp Bizkit the late 90s early 00s would have been hell.

The evidence is all there bud, mountains of it. Just because its a shadowy organization and they covered their tracks to hide the top figures doesnt mean it didnt happen. It happened, and reminder communists are now defending child abuse openly. Not that we didnt know ANTIFA was already unironically pushing to sexually abuse children as a means of fighting fascism, because they cant related to their families if they are jerking horses off in a field, and sucking bums anuses, and that means they wont like fascism. No joke, real antifa logic. Thats your side, and again, its no joke, and we will kill you pedos eventually.

Nah, same shill, still has zero arguments or supporting facts, all larping. lefty/pol/ exists. Reddit exists. Every other shithole that tries to censor the truth exists, for you. Youre here, trying to destroy threads and post shitty commie memes with no argument, and deny basic facts everyone knows, astroturfing your garbage larp bullshit over a board of people who genuinely want to stop white genocide. All youre doing is being another Lena Dunham. Everyone on the left is turning into a Lena Dunham

>Kill all whites men, wew, open borders, take white land and give it to blacks yeaaaaa!!!!!!!

Thats you bud. Lena Dunham. Zimbabwe, South Africa. Thats communism in mixed countries. Theres a race war about to happen, right now, in South Africa, and its because of communist niggers, actual kikes, and white jew race traitors. Youre probably the third one.

Communism is white genocide. Anyone who is remotely marxist, communist, anarchist, or anything in that vein is promoting white genocide. They are to be executed, according to international law. Promotion, complicity etc etc. You shill a board and try to astroturf the National Socialists and tell them they cant stop white genocide, instead of posting in your left wing circle jerk hugbox that bans the opposite side, youre pretty much promoting white genocide. You can be executed, someone will put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger, and they will laugh. The Russians hacked little 15 year old German girls breasts up with rusty saws and laughed and laughed and laughed. Your family will be no different. Are you prepared to be the most brutal? No. You better be prepared to die.

Whites are. They have thousands of years of history on their shoulders. You want free stuff. I wonder whos going to fight harder.

This is lefty/pol/. He doesn't understand our board culture. He posts on his board, and brings other kike shills in to astroturf and brute force a consensus cracking message. He is a shill. Id say theres a decent chance this is a kike, from Israel, hasbara and all.

Fuck off. Political correctness was almost as bad back then as it was today. The primary difference is that the radical lefties didn't have social media to whine on. They were still on campus and the media was firmly entrenched in the PC camp.

Most politics were based on science and funding NASA like crazy. Schools and TV pushed education on outer space like crazy.

Remember how science was considered cool in the 90's?

This is coming from someone in California, where nobody cares about science unless it involves fake genitalia.

Workplace, chill as fuck.
All the GUYS you worked with had mad skills, it was before the "I'm just doing my job"-people arrived in the tech industry here.

Fridays we just sat and farted and played through typically nintendo 64 releases, but ps too. We had a media room for this. It was to inspire the workers, dare you if you dared to come with any of these "but boss I just have to ..."

My boss was so cool so when I arrived at work and it was really great weather in the summer, he got pissed and wondered why I wasn't at the beach checking out chicks instead, and actually sent me off with pay. Ah man I miss those times, simpler times than today.

everything changed

We discussed, games, coming games, studied, discussed and reproduced the diff fancy algs we spotted in the games, made new ones talked about that. Argued about who could make the best ie double texture tri filler with otm phong in sw.
Other than that Kosovo and Yugoslavia, wintesports, fishing, weather.

Even retail was like this. I remember when I went into a video game store, you had a 35 year-old clerk who knew a lot about computers, games, how to fix things, etc. They were friendly, made sure you got to test the game (they don't let you test games anymore) and even had kids of their own. This was back when GameStop was called Funcoland. Nowadays, they know little, other than the details regarding sales and what product comes with what.

t. Former GameStop employee. It's nothing but strictly selling things and promotions.

Regular electronic stores were like this. I don't know if you guys have Radio Shack in Europe, but it's a well-known chain here. Normally, you'd go to buy components, cables, get things fixed, TVs, and essentially hardware for anything. The cashiers were skilled and knew how to fix things. Now they just sell cellphones and maybe car adapters. The clerks know nothing.

It's not the same countries, in the 90ies here we were ultra anti PC. All media, cartoons etc. In many ways like here, I got ton's of shit, but only in our tongue.

Stuff like pic related "The Führer Dog Adolph Takes Over".
>means leading dog for blind here.

If you were a paki you just had to live with being called a "jævla pakkis" or "svarting". Hard to explain, but sometimes I'm so paranoid, as spy shit was all we had against the Soviets(We made Mossad etc, sorry about that)... So well this was some organized anti KGB groundwork, take their PC and destroy it with extreme anti-PC.

1999 was about the Y2K bug and the countdown to the celebrations to bring in the new millennium.

No question. Between 1999 and 2006, I think the optimism in the US (and much of the West) totally cratered, 9/11 being the biggest individual event and catalyst. Just when it seemed that things may have started stabilizing a bit, we had the crash of 2008. Quite simply, we have never recovered from that. Even with the markets supposedly doing well, I don't believe anyone is doing better in real terms. From that has come all of the political instability and strife that we see now. The internet has been a social multiplier. Thus, /pol/ and tumblr and all the other bs.
>>
>>126000844
They did have a ton of influence, which is why we're in the situation we're in now.
The fact that social media didn't exist back then was probably good for the far-left, because their propaganda was more insidious and less in-your-face, so it didn't result in a massive backlash.
The media was completely full of it though, as were universities. Illegal immigration to the US was also drastically higher back then compared to today.

Another big problem back then was that everyone was some variation of center-left and would oppose "racism" and "sexism". There was literally no resistance, so if you tried to warn people about what was coming, no one would listen and you'd be ostracized from your community. At least today there an actual resistance, millions of people who agree with you, and communities dedicated to fighting this bullshit. We're at a point where you can almost be openly anti-SJW, which would have been social suicide back in the 90s.

Yeah nah, not really. I was a goth listening to Manson. Not nearly comparable. Columbine was hyped for maximum two months, then it was gone. It wasn't this constant stream of neo-marxism of thousands of idiots.

The big difference today is that we have a tool to fight back and crack the mainstream. And some of those goth kids listening to Manson found a new way to be politically incorrect. To bad he himself got fat, a cuck and associated with gay Gaga. But then again, he fell for the Szandor OyVey meme anyway.

Indeed. If you didn't own a PC you missed out on the Thief and System Shock titles. Also Doom of course. And C&C. Diablo. You got Tomb Raider on the consoles. But not a single adventure.

I remember pre-ordering Mortal Kombat 2 for the Mega Drive (Genesis). Each week when my mum would come home from shopping I'd ask if it'd come in yet. When it did and I finally had it it was awesome. My friends and I played the crap out of it.

Earlier this year I download about 30 PSP games for the PSP emulator because I never owned a PSP because I'm cheap. Have only played a couple of games so far... the excitement of having a new game just isn't there like buy one game at a time as a kid.

That was what woke me up to the dangers of globalism. Before that riot I unquestionably accepted that we should be moving towards a world of completely 'free' trade. I didn't understand why these people were against something that sounded like such a good idea. I looked into it myself and the redpills came showering down. Most protests are useless attention whoring but the WTO protests in Seattle really did wake people up.

I replaced the new game hype with buying a new car. One of the only goods where you still can get hyped by mags for new coming up modesl, do a test drive, spend weeks over the "accessory" catalogue building your car, order it and getting all excited when the garage calls you about 2 months later that your new car is ready to pick-up and finally turning the key for the first time...

holy shit man this is legit. Privateer was one of the best games of the 90s, Priv2 was unfinished crap made on the bleeding edge of a technology sorting itself out.

1999 was pretty quiet. Clinton scandal was old news and he was a very lame duck by then. The Starr Report had come out, so people were titillated by that. People pretended to know where Kosovo was. Al Gore campaigned on locking everyone's money in a lockbox. Muh handgun violence. Muh violent vidya games. Muh Y2K bug. Muh Napster. Muh Winamp. Muh NetZero free internet for everyone.

Yea, 90s carried over into the early 2000s. Go back and look at Spice Girls videos and compare them to Madonna's Ray of Light. Or compare Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity to Drake's Hotline Bling. What disappeared is the Americana/kitchsy aesthetic of the Friends apartment or a Sheryl Crow video. Good times, sorry you missed 'em. Art these days is absolute garbage. No soul, all about spending.

Game quality is utter shit now. RTS games haven't been good since the SC1/AoE2 era, SC4 is still the best city simulator in existence (Skylines is pretty but it's more of a design game than a city simulator), FPS games all have a shitty unlock system and DLC so there's no balance online, the latest gen of Paradox GSGs are all normie tier now, hell even Madden 07 has more features than Madden 17.

There are a few decent newer games, the entire Witcher series has been great, Civ VI is surprisingly fun and feels way different from the previous games, but it's extremely rare that I look forward to a new release now. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I agree with most of what you say, but the Witcher series is so boring for me. I absolutely do not understand why Witcher 3 is considered one of the best games of all time.
The story was so tedious and the combat is so monotonous (you can literally spam dodge every fight to win). I couldn't even finish the game because it felt like a chore.
Not to mention the SJW themes in the story are irritating.

I've never liked RPGs for the combat. I enjoyed the world and I thought the story was ok, didn't really pick up SJW themes, but maybe it just seemed tolerable in comparison to the outright marxism of a lot of other games.

I miss 90s TV. That real shit Law & Order. Or pic related: Travelers, circa 1997. Basically every show was 3-4 people from that group would go somewhere together and do touristy things. You could tell some of them really did not get along. Wanted to bang the Korean chick, the cute blonde with the perfect ass, and the pixie cut brunette who could probably deep throat a mile of dong. Tall redhead guy was annoying and maybe autistic. Fat black guy was cool but frequently winded. Good times.

I'm 30 yrs old, around 1999 I was living on the internet rather than do my schoolwork. I remember politics and trolling weren't super big back then, it was mostly just older people spouting references back and forth (not exactly meme territory, more like "hahaha remember that one video referencing this random thing??"). I remember politics becoming heavier when gay marriage popped up as a topic, and then 2 years later 9/11 happened and the internet spiraled into never-ending battles of religion vs atheist, nationalist vs globalist, conservative vs liberal, etc.

trolling was always part of the internet even around 1996 when I made my first steps on the webs. Every single chat was filled with:

>press alt-f4 for 10h free internet
>delete system 32 or sudo rm -rf /
>put your keyboard into the dishwasher to fix the sticky coke problem
>how to overclock your 200mhz processor ending up frying it on the first start
>before placing your new CPU onto the motherboard socket clean the cpu and the socket with water and soap

My older brother had to do his deepest old man voice and pretend he was my father once because I was too overt in my asking about pornography on a BBS chat and she got suspicious.

At another BBS there was one guy going by the name of Axl that indicated that he could provide me with the stuff. Other people on the BBS told me to avoid Axl and that he was bad. Didn't see him around much after that. I wonder if he was going to try to molest me.

I was supposed to go bowling with some people at another board once but when I got to the bowling alley some guy with the fucking steamfitters asked me "Are you with the organization?" I learned that day to always answer that question in the affirmative.

I had some gif of Vanna White in a bra and panties. Honestly it was easier to go find porn in the woods. A few years later we got dial up but by then I could drive and looked old enough for the magazine store to sell me porn.

got me alot of wise old friends online. my humanity and morals are still a grade above my peers and those younger than i.

the young lefties being violent at protests (berkley) is a sign of opportunity to bridge with our fellow humans. knowledge spreads like fire and wind. it is unrestricted and un-owned. always take the time to share the wisdom of humanity with a n y o n e.
