Why has the spirit of rebellion disappeared all over the world?

[Anarcho Nihilist]

Revolutions and protests demanding a change of government are no longer possible in the developed countries of the West. Do you think this is related to: the aging of the population, the strengthening of technology to control people, or the satisfaction of living standards?

Democracy probably

 

[Anarcho Nihilist]

In the West of the 1960s and 1980s, there were always more events related to riots, rallies, protests, and so on. The French Revolution of 1968, the RAF in West Germany, clashes in Italy between the extreme right and the extreme left in the 1970s, rallies against the US war in Vietnam. Now there is literally no spirit of life, which used to be in the form of events.

Democracy probably

 

[reveries]

Advanced copes sedate and pacify people. Low test levels, poor health, high mental illness rates, soy individualism prevails (no sense of community or of a greater goal), Maslow's bottom level needs are always met for everybody (living is too comfy, not enough "let's rebel" fuel)

the satisfaction of living standards

It's definitely not this, people in 2025 are worse off than they were even just 20 years ago. IMHO it's mainly just this:

the strengthening of technology to control people

The internet, vidya, shitsflix shows, porn, etc. keep the population content and pacified. Back in the 60s/70s this stuff either didn't exist or just wasn't as developed and readily accessible as it is today.

 

[The_word_made_flesh]

I think the world is more rebellious but that the population as a whole is so rebellious that rebellion today seems mundane

 

[Excalibur]

Most people are cynical and indifferent. Idealism is a relic of the last century

In the 1960s-1980s, people in the West lived better in terms of living standards than they do now. Back then, buying their own house was not something unrealistic, as it is today, but they always eliminated the movement, rallied, staged protests, demanded something.

It's mostly technology and military advancement.

MKULTRA, mostly, anesthetized the average citizen down to the level of a drone. No matter what urge or desire a guy has, it gets numbed down really fast (with drugs or digital copes) before it even motivates him for action against the system that generated this dissatisfaction.

No-one rebels due to a vague feeling things are not okay, and life wasn't supposed to be this shitty. People rebel when their concrete pains meet actionable paths for their satisfaction.

A good point, is that health problems, low testosterone, an aging middle-aged population, and female education are everywhere - from homes where many boys are raised by single mothers to schools where most teachers are women.

People today don't believe in anything and live only for pleasure, because Jews taught them the virtues of selfishness and individualism.

It turns out that people will rebel only when they have nothing to eat, which is unlikely.

 

[Trident]

Combination of many factors.
What i want to say is that most wageslaves in 1st and 2nd world countries have so sort of hyper copium that keeps them going even though their future is doomed when it comes to owning their own house/apartment, having good living conditions. They're doomed to live in rented housing, just working to pay for rent, shitty fake food and some crap for credit money because they can't afford it without taking debts.

 

[Maikowski]

It's because of video games keeping young men busy

Crime went down in the 90s after video games became popular, playing games makes men less violent. The media has been saying the opposite because boomers gonna lie

i remember my childhood and adolescence, since early 2000s to early 2010s there were plenty of young low life scum on the streets who could attack you because you entered "their territory" and then since late 2000s when most of these fuckers could afford console or PC to play games, streets starded gradually becoming safer, most of these fuckers played World of Tanks, Warface and other games instead of beating someone up or robbing.

Because life is too comfortable to sacrifice it for ideology.

Yes true especially where I am from housing is insane expensive

 

[Decal1us_____]

It’s the strengthening of technology to control people, the satisfaction of living standards, and how nowadays the elite enslave the mind, not the physical body like they used to

 

[sk.feelsdevil]

I think that our attitude towards violence has shifted as a working class. It used to be that is the proprietors of a house would charge extra rent or if slaraies were to stagnate then physical violence would ensue.

Now however violent people are seen as mentally ill and really you can't bring about change by waving a bunch of signs at a gay little protest.

 

[ForcedMarriageNow]

Population replacement via immigration, mass survielance, intelligence agency infiltration, and demoralization. Even when somebody has the balls to start killing as a lone wolf faggots will discredit him by claiming him to be a government agent

[blackpillednigga]

you underestimate how much people are able to cope even through tough times. revolution is only when things get so bad that all other copes aren't possible

 

[Sonicfancel]

Its cultural. Why the boomers rebelled against the Vietnam War? Because it was the popular thing to do. Columbine had so many copycats because it became a cultural icon; hopefully the CEO Killer also will have plenty of copycats.

people are too depressed to rebel

 

[Emba]

Don't worry bro.

The jews will stir up the niggers to riot again...

 

[lifesucksandyoudie]

If you try to join a countercultural movement nowadays you'll just get funneled into controlled opposition if you're anywhere close to an actual threat
