How often do you get pissed off with the modern world?

I go to parties because I like to gather with friends and have fun. Of course not the type of 'fun' where one spews his heart out, gets high or listens to rap. I didn't say everyone who goes to parties will end up badly, but those who choose to do it most of the time instead of studying will have a few things to lose in future.

sure many teens can be describes as "degenerates" but that doesn't make going back in time, literally, possible.

Who said it does?

pretty much the whole last bit was in response to the "born at the wrong time, wrong place" thing, i didn't get the name of the poster, i guess i should've. actually many post here seem to be insinuating that they'd rather live in "the good old days".

If that is how people feel... Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, that's what this thread is all about.

part of the definition would be that it doesn't evolve into sh!t

Interesting.

as i said, i misunderstood.

Actually judging by the behaviour of certain people I'd say it's quite a regress in many respects.

i ment literally, just wanted to clarify

that's exactly why i posted.

i did read it, but didn't really take it seriously, since it seemed like an apology to Bayerisches Mädchen. still seems as though you think an overwhelming majority is "bad", which i happen to disagree with.

Ok, so if I am not wrong, you were referring to those who said they would like to live in another era/were born in the wrong year etc. whereas by regress I meant corruption of values, social conduct and so on. Going literally back in time of course is not possible and even if it were, it would be anachronical to a certain degree IMO.

Your interest in and participation within the spheres pop culture, mainstream propagandistic news media, literature, fine arts, fashion, consumerism, and politics is entirely voluntary. Don't like rap on the radio? Turn the fucking thing off. Don't like seeing interracial couples shown in movies? Don't watch or buy tickets for them. Don't like the latest $100 sweatshop Nike sneakers? Don't buy them. Don't like that candidate who promotes gays/foreigners/Muslims/Jews/(insert evil group here)? Don't vote for them. No one forced you to buy a cellphone, a computer, a microwave, a polluting automobile, a Britney Spears CD, FUBU jeans, and nobody forced a Big Mac hamburger and a Coca Cola down your throat. So when these things give you headaches, nightmares, cancer, obesity, stress and make you feel 'pissed off,' get pissed off at yourself for buying into them. If you haven't bought into the idiocy and cultural bankrucy which currently defines the diseased, dying entity called 'the West', why even bother worrying if a total stranger, who is likely a young confused idiot, has done so? If there existed some attractive, viable alternative to 'shit culture,' one would think millions of people would have seized the opportunity to enroll in its ranks.

What you are describing here is an attitude of utter selfishness, egoistic individualism, and against preservation of peoples, cultures and nations.

Most people here belong to nations which roots date back to millenia, and to societies that their forefathers constructed with much effort throughout centuries. And the goal of Stirpes is to support the preservations of these nations and societies, and to provide an area of discussion for the people who are concerned with these issues.

The alternative to 'shit culture' is a return to the traditional culture, the traditional values and spirituality. Not something that I would expect a disgruntled selfish individual who comes from a corrupt society and who is so unsure as to where she belongs (if somewhere) to understand or to support.

I don't know what exactly brings you here, but I have no doubts that you are in the wrong place.

• First: your proposal is simply 'turn off everything', thus you don't acknowledge the right of the people to enjoy cultural diversity, but you justify the unipolarity of crap culture as a matter of 'take it or piss off'. Well, what about the right to have other culture? (also see point 6)

• Second: most of the crap you name is being payed with our taxes, especially cinema in Europe, multiculturalist campaigns, public TV, mass events of every kind and positive discrimination towards gays, denerated weirdos, gypsies and all the racial tutti-frutti imaginable. Does someone ask you if you want to finance those stupid talk-shows and TV-contests with your money?

• Third: what is not public is owned by big media corporations, being culture not real popular culture (as former traditional parties for example), but a huge machinery designed to brainwash people and get their payrolls. Popular is what emerges from the people. On the contrary, popular festivity traditions are being conquered by marketing. The same with physical culture: Is sport watching a game on TV or practising real sport? Ah, but where are the sport places in your neighbourhood? Why is there no money for them but for olympics, superbowl and multi-millionaire football players?

• Fourth, mass "popular" culture serves not only to capitalist exploitation (also in the 'first world'), but to a globalisation agenda oriented towards the destruction of all human structures that can offer some resistance to an allmighty Big World Market: the individual, the family, the faith, the races and the nations. And I include all of them, being blacks for example just a mere instrument in to this goal, whose African tribe-nations are also suffering the consequences.

• Fifth: I would be glad to turn off everything but you simply can't, because modern culture is an all-time numbing presence: If you enter a shop or go to a supermarket you'll see it, listen to it, smell it and taste it, even if you don't want to. Furthermore, if you don't know who's the newest singing bitch ot movie gigolo you're considered anti-social, ignorant , unattractive and weirdo. Where's the freedom to turn off?

• Last but not least, try to produce other culture: try to widespread familiy values or a cultural preservationist agenda on your local radio station or paper, on your community or school magazine and you'll see how free is the free world we live in They'll be comming for you ...

I get pissed off a lot, especially with the attitude of many people in the society i live in - not just politicians, but more likely anyone -.

I guess the only moments when i'm not pissed off by something (anything here) are when i'm studying, when i'm walking around the neighborhood, when i'm chating with one of my friends or when i'm playing with my dogs.

Although i never have the luck to do all these things in the same day, and i turn on the TV everyday (at least for a few minutes).
Too bad, it'll be a nice day...

Not often... Only when i sit in the bus surrounded by northern-africans and other moments like that but besides that... I life in flanders one of the wealthiest regions of europe why should i be pissed off? Yeah ofcorse there are alote of things in this world that disappoint me like the way migration goes etc, but even then in flanders the biggest party is an anti-immigration party so... A little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

but overal life is pretty good in this modern world no reason for complaning.

I live there too. Seems like you see things sunnier than I see them. Oh well.

Oooooooohhhhh, all of the time…..but while I’m constantly grappling with society’s slow but seemingly inexorable descent into valueless anarchy on the one hand……with the other hand (finger?) I always make sure I’m in touch with that against-all-the-odds eternal-optimism that has sustained me throughout my life….After all faith moves mountains…

I am sadly addicted to TV and newspapers, and accordingly have my peace of mind shattedred on a daily basis by state propaganda. In the real world, I praise the gods that I am not fifteen years old and living in one of the occupied suburbs of the major cities. At least I have the opportunity to remove myself from the worst aspects of modernity, living comfortably in an old,
