The part about words and actions is rather strained, because people can say lots of wishful things about themselves and they will stay that way regardless, new year declarations and such. I  like the part about character becoming destiny though. Attributed to some ancient famous chink.

Already by the 2010s it was much more difficult to use the internet for more than that.

2007 was great.  Was still getting off the Magipoka 2006 high with a ton of other memorable series.  Went to Japan, drank alot, traveled, had experiences.   I know nothing about music post 1997 or so and never really listened to it.  Was in military/navy too but got out before Kantai Collection came out.  Figures.  

You know, i didnt even get into anime till I was late in the military and much older.  In the 90s it was always weird crap.  I was a big nerd/trekkie but I never gave anime a chance.  Oh well, everything finished up ok and I am very well off.  Not well off as I could have been but I have properties, land and two homes and lots of passive income coming in from my investments.  

Never trust your family guys.  Never trust your older sister/brother to do the right thing after a parent dies.  Other than that, count your blessings.

The past wasn't as good as you remember. I'd rather go 100s of years into the future, and kill myself if whites didn't established territory and died off, or live in the civilization of white people that escaped the cycle.

>>313638
No, it was definitely as good as I remember, because the present sucks that much ass. The only bad thing about it is my father.

That reminds me of Heraclitus supposedly saying similar things. Supposedly, because I know zilch about ancient Greek, I struggle even with the letters.
>The phrase ἦθος ἀνθρώπῳ δαίμων (ethos anthropoi daimon) is attributed to Heraclitus. It is variously translated as "a man's character is his fate", "character is destiny", or perhaps most literally as "a man's character is his guardian divinity." The word ethos means "character", while daimon has various meanings, one of which being "the power controlling the destiny of individuals: hence, one's lot or fortune."
Something totally incompatible with later christianity, I guess. Because that daimon would be surely interpreted as a demon, devil, etc. Quite retarded to stray that much from the original intent, right? Everything has to be made about a single god instead, lol. Predestination in its various flavors. Not much of Heraclitus' legacy had survived the Middle Ages, I guess because of conflicting with their sensibilities too much. I guess he might fit better with imageboard contrarians, lol. Or some Zen enthusiasts.
>Heraclitus did not seem to like the prevailing religion of the time, criticizing the popular mystery cults, blood sacrifice, and prayer to statues.

They weren't that great, every decade since the end of the war has just been an egotistic waste. What did I miss? MTV when it was good? The only thing was legitimately better was the internet. Compared to Obamaworld it was a white man's paradise, people were more authentic, and I did hold a lot of nostalgia for Gen X and millenial youth but recently I could no longer deny that it was sufficiently vacuous as life is right now. In fact the youth are better depending where you look; no sneaker-scuffing latchkey or emo millenial had a mind for anything beyond what they were fed on the radio and TV and the peak of poison food that was probably on par with boomers inhaling leaded gasoline and asbestos in its own way. Picking over the coals of the past isn't a viable sociopolitical mode at this point.

2007. I guess I'd just not waste any time playing videogames. I have this memory of my dad asking if I wanted to go for a walk and me saying no because I wanted to play my game more.

I still feel emotional pain from this. I do not remember what I "accomplished" in my game that day. What a waste.

>>322221
get?
Well chances are you wouldn't have remember the walk either.

Oh yes, get indeed.

>>322222
I might have. Even if I didn't, it would have been the more noble choice. We play these strong or noble characters in videogames because we aspire to be strong or noble. Yet the power trip is addictive and pulls us away from the meaningful things like our family and life. I wish I went on that walk, but the experience taught me to never blow someone off to play videogames. So it wasn't all useless.

Considering that things get objectively worse each month now, nostalgia seems completely normal. Reveling in the clownish present is a sign of some sort of neurological disorder.

What does it do? It doesn't provide comfort because it makes you long for something you can't have, and it isn't a goal, it is simply a form of desire that can never be quenched, and I think it is a shitty adaptation for when your environment changes too quickly.

>>322283
Nostalgia drives us to preserve the good things in the world.

The pristine valley, the untouched woods around my childhood home. The clear stream, the memories of a good father. The high trust community that once existed in a lovely rural place before suburban developers destroyed it. 
Nostalgia literally is a word used first in the late middle ages to describe the desire of soldiers to return home. Nostalgia is one of the primary pillars of nationalism, it is the foundation of emotions and values that create a high trust community. Nostalgia is the harmless face of a powerful desire to preserve and protect the things which made our youth meaningful. In its full form, men have died and killed for it.

This is true.

After the Boomers all die off, we're gonna need ALL of us and (hopefully) the skillz each gen can contribute to build something out of the antagonistic wastelands that are inevitable at this point.
I'd say there are only about 10% in each gen worth a damn for this, but 3% was enough to start the revolutionary war in the colonies.
