First time I have run out of reactions with the limit change. I have mixed views on Lennon, but he was right. It's a duality of man thing though. When he talked about a world without nations, without religion, where there is nothing to live or die for, lefties think that sounds great, but right-wingers view that as nihilism and a life with no purpose where you don't value anyone enough that you would die for them. I think in the end that he might have known that he was being used to disseminate some globalist ideas, so they whacked him.

I want all groups to become more self-sufficient where possible, but I don't think the elites really care about minorities as they messed their nations up to begin with. It's just about pushing diversity everywhere, as if diversity is something that magically makes everything better, diversity for the sake of it. They will leave no area untouched.

Don't you like humans? I mean fair enough if you enjoy solitude away from your average lemming, but I hope you don't view us as cattle or anything.

I have heard others say that we can't accurately say what the attention span of a goldfish is. I don't know how true that is, but it's hard to deny that the human attention span is going down. People like their dopamine driven feedback loops too much. TikTok has just made things 10x worse. The algorithm controls the social media feed, and it's not feeding peoples minds, it's just giving them short thrills and then they scroll down to the next thing.

I got to experience some of the old systems from the home computing days because I have an older brother, mainly Commodore and Amstrad. It's not just games either, music and movies were quality back then as well. Golden era for pop culture.

I'm an 80s baby, and my most cherished years were the 90s. Boys will be boys, and I would be lying if I said I didn't like my tech. I grew up in the age of Nintendo, Sega, Walkmans, Discmans, and Mini Disc players. However, ever since the year 2000, everything seems to have become sinister. Early 2000s were still pretty cool though. The world still had problems back then, but it wasn't a total clown show. You could still have a cozy life. I guess I at least have some good memories.

Indeed. I sometimes go back through this thread to remind myself how fast all this intrusive tech is creeping up on us, it's pretty alarming. No prob.

I need to correct this for posterity. The police were called at that time, but the attack supposedly happened at 22:31. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-43555145

It's debatable whether Perestroika deception is real, but why wouldn't he want Russia to be strong like in the Soviet days? The same can be said for some Russian citizens that still fly the hammer and sickle. I doubt they're all commies, they probably just romanticize the days when Russia was powerful.
