Did we witness the most tolerant time in history? Is it never coming back? - It's easier to be tolerant when your only exposure to these people is through movies

[Scientifically Inaccurate]

The time where you just took people at their word that everyone around the world was just like you and had a lot to offer, and you didn't need to actually get near them. Were the very late 1900s/very early 2000s the most tolerant time in history and is that good will gone for good? Did we witness the world's most naive moments?

More and more people actually have to interact with someone not from their race/culture/religion, and the results aren't good. Then the internet makes it impossible to really cover up anything and causes more and more exposure to inferior cultures.

I know I used to be a very sympathetic person who was excited about the idea of cultural exchange. All the sympathy and openness has left me and even if suddenly the world teleported itself back to the 90s, it wouldn't come back. I know I've been lied to now.


And if your answer is some variation on the good countries getting taken over by shitskins, that's still more hatred in the world. Even if only white nations were ever tolerant it was more than we used to have.

I think you need to try to define tolerant better. Tolerant in what way, exactly? Cultural diffusion? It's hard to answer your question without knowing what you mean by 'tolerance.' I would argue that in some ways the world is more tolerant now with some things than in the recent past - homosexuality for example. I think the world in general has gotten more tolerant of gays in the past 50 years (though some cultures and groups might not have changed very much - few it seems have become less tolerant). You could also argue that people are more tolerant of cowardice nowadays than 100 years ago as well.

Without knowing what you mean, it's hard to say if the world has become less tolerant or not.

I remember watching a video for MLK day during school and the white mom wouldn't let her kids play with the black boy. I thought it was weird and wrong. I don’t think that way anymore.

Only crackers in the West were tolerant because things were going so well for them compared to everywhere else that they got soft.
Now things aren't going that well anymore in cracker West so things have changed.

Overall though, the West is still quite tolerant, even more so in some areas than at any other time.
The kind of weird degenerate shit that we shrug at in the 2020's, we used to fuck people up for back in 1995.

You mean high trust society? Yeah, that shit is gone, dead, buried, and never coming back inside of your lifetime. That only occurs within homogenized groups of people, where the trust is earned, people know who you are, and what to expect from you. Not necessarily racially homogenous, but cohesive enough that there is a shared culture. We don't have this anymore because America was flooded with foreigners, scammers, and tweakers. You got to witness the slow, but not too slow, death of this, from the 1960s, to approximately 2007.

Did we witness the world's most naive moments?

Yes.

More and more people actually have to interact with someone not from their race/culture/religion, and the results aren't good. Then the internet makes it impossible to really cover up anything and causes more and more exposure to inferior cultures.

See my first quote response.

To quote Blink-182, "I guess this is growing up."

And if your answer is some variation on the good countries getting taken over by shitskins, that's still more hatred in the world. Even if only white nations were ever tolerant it was more than we used to have.

Get used to it, and maybe get over yourself, while you're at it. "More hatred in the world" comes from having elements of the world around you that are worth hating. If you want a world where there is less hatred, don't be exposed to things worth hating. The internet is very good at exposing you to things that are worth hating.



You're witnessing an immune system reacting to a disease, not the disease itself. Your culture, country, and economy are all dying at the same time, and your inaction is allowing it to happen. This is a time for hate, a time for intolerance, a time for distrust, and before too long, it'll be time to get violent, or to run away and avoid the violence to come. Be prepared!

SRS surgeons aren't getting lynched, so I'd say we're still pretty tolerant.

I would define it as an openness to the idea that there are no bad cultures/groups and interacting between them is an inherently good thing.

I wouldn't call that tolerance, I would call that delusion and ignorance.
Of course there are bad cultures and groups, we all know which ones, this website keeps tab on all of them.

That is a major idea within post-modernism. Post-modernism is being attacked more and more these days, for good reason.

Tolerance, equity, inclusiveness and so on are luxury beliefs. This is why your boomers have them. They could afford to have them. Nowadays people are poorer so there is not much energy or time left for undercover sins such as empathy, especially when you are being requested to tolerate and love your direct competition for resources.

Agreed. That is one aspect of it. It’s easy to share when times are good.

Another factor is the refusal to arrest criminals because of their race. There are a lot of people getting radicalized when people could have prevented murders if they had locked up repeat criminals. Nothing turns someone against immigration faster than seeing migrant rape gangs go unpunished. It’s not a coincidence that racism was at an all time low after the democrats decided to crack down on super predators in the 80s and 90s. Now that policing is racist it has ironically resulted in people getting red pilled when they see young whites murdered in public transportation or track meets. The handling of rape gangs has had a similar effect as well.

The other factor is social media. In the past one could cope about the number of minorities that hate them for being white. But now they post it openly and get thousands of likes and retweets. The opposite occurs too. Then there’s the influence campaigns by foreign states intentionally fanning the flames. It wouldn’t surprise me if China was begin the Natasha dolls going viral and doing so with the intent to encourage Chinese expats to return home. Essentially riling up minorities to antagonize Asians so that it makes the West uncomfortable for dissidents, it also results in more social strife in a rival state, which also benefits them. Russia believes in causing racial tension too and often have been caught in creating rival social media accounts that are pro or anti blm.
