The Google Ngram Viewer is a brilliant tool for conducting research in Western social dynamics. For more information on how it works please go here. I often use it to gain an understanding of certain social trends and how they evolved over time. Its main limitation is that it only extends to 2008 - I'm not sure if the project concludes there or if there is a delay in mapping more content.

Without further ado I am presenting a few examples which IMO are pretty eye opening for anyone having swallowed the red pill. I encourage you all to post more examples and offer possible interpretations.

   

Talk of happiness seems to have gone down steadily since the 1880s. I'm not sure if that is because people are happier now, if it's less of a priority in literature, or if people are less happy. That was actually the most surprising one.

   

Do I really have to comment on this one?

   

Either modern men have developed an exponential thirst for rape, it's being disclosed more often, or (and that's my vote) men have always raped at roughly the same percentage but women are using it to demonize men's sexuality. Note that the curve starts growing rapidly after around 1968. Not a big surprise there.

   

The word homosexual was barely ever mentioned before the roaring twenties and has since steadily pushing higher. That of course had to do in part with the fact that homosexuality was frowned upon in society. But the continued growth since the 1960s does suggest a change in social dynamics, in particular given that the percentage of homosexuality in the general population has remained fairly constant at around 8% (plus minus depending on country).

   

Clearly I'm in the wrong business.

   

I hate to break it to you guys but looks like our ancestors were more corrupt than we are today. In any case corruption is a constant in human affairs - you will see similar graphs when searching under greed, deceit, or fear.

   

Betrayal however is a buyer's market. Don't. Trust. Anyone.

I'll tack on more here as I find them.

This word is something of an example of the fact this device counts words but doesn't read context. Corruption in English literature for generations had more than one meaning. It didn't principally refer to activities like bribe-taking, it was a more classical way of referring to offal, or waste -- "His body had descended to corruption". It also referred to sexualisation and other shit activities of young people -- "the corruption of the youth". Part of the reason for its drop in frequency may well be because language itself evolved so different or more plain words came into usage to replace terms like this.

In passing, this is also why lefties seem to have so many names. "Left" --> "Socialist" --> "Progressive", for example, all over the past 50 years or so. It's done because the ideas the Left holds onto are so shit they have to keep changing how they refer to themselves so they're not identified with them.

Law and order peaked in around 1973 while political correctness peaked in the late 90s. Am pretty happy to see that political correctness is on the decline but would be nice if law and order would turn around..
