"Anyone else been seeing a lot of "When the Hipster began to hate" type people lately?"

They were promised a Soycialist Dystopia, & it's not panning out as they were propagandized...

If I was a hipster in San Fran and my daily commute involved avoiding homless mental patients and shit covered streets I'd be seething too!

In my case the situation is deteriorating fast. I never really felt like I belonged, but lately the situation in my country seems to be changing even more. I don't get the humour, I am apathetic towards the local pop culture too.

The youth is westernising fast, but they're only embracing the negative aspects of western culture. Women are westernising even faster. But they still have all the negative qualities of the local culture which is actually the opposite of the Western culture. They don't value punctuality or meritocracy which are in my opinion very positive Western values.

The problem is now I have no place in this world where I think I can belong. Have any of you felt this way? The culture you belonged to dying off leaving you in a totally different world.

What country or region are you talking about?

Now I normally have no time for Bill Hader. Conan I can more than tolerate.
Yet, here's an example of how subtle these 'deep fakes' are getting.

The online future will be a wild place...

What's a "deepfake"?

Since we've had many posts in the lounge about it, I've opened a thread about losing family members to politics here.

Except the order will encompass something they can easily complete on their own:

While unz.com do have some garbage. This is worth a read in regards to the firebombing of Dresden one of the most beautiful cities of Europe:

The death toll would have been 250,000-650,000 Men, Women and Children. And be a war-crime due to the absolute unnecessary non-military nature of such an act.

Dresden is one of my favorite examples of "War is War" there are no 'good guys' or 'bad guys' as history tries to show us. Life becomes meaningless to those blinded by the conflict, especially as the enemy becomes branded as non-persons by propaganda early on.

India. Urban India to be more specific. Western guys might not find it to be westernized enough, but I can feel the change. I have totally lost interest in living here.

Wasn't sure where to put this... It's a scorcher, though.

Just need to get this out...
When you commit more then a year and spend long months preparing just for one thing and at the end, it doesn´t work out, it sucks. I have stopped seeing my friends, declined all the offers to hang out, stopped eating sweets, drinking alcohol. I spent ALL my free time just to prepare. There were only moments, when I was working from nowhere to nowhere and then preparing. After 12 hours shift, at midnight during snowstorm, I was preparing. I started to do fuck ups in work, because I was exhausted from everday preparation and felt like walking zombie.
But it was beautiful, because I was working towards my goal, something I desire.
I failed and I don´t have my goal now. It sucks..
