just thinking about society in the 50s-80s, I can imagine this wasn't such a permeating part of the culture, now you can just feel this strange universal 'aversion' people exude, when did this 'awkwaaaard' cultural zeitgeist infest so many people? it's almost weaponized, everyone has perfected this homosexual side eye/facial expression to humiliate non-conformers / anyone who isn't cookie cutter

does anyone "get" what I'm getting at here, it's like everyone wants to embody a 16 year old girls affectation in social interaction, I can't imagine some dude from the 50s breaking into a pantomime after witnessing a slight social faux pas

need some scholarship on this

Jews are neurotic fucks.

Jews took over our culture and society.

Neuroticism is the presumptive default in any situation for millennials and younger.

Everyone wants to be a "normie" now. If you say something a little off color, or god forbid the nigger word, they want everyone to know that's NOT OK and at the same time signal how TOTALLY NORMAL AND OK they are with that effeminate facial expression.

In the 50s-80s, there was significant pressure to avoid certain behaviors or assume certain characteristics. As long as people steered clear of those, they were afforded much more latitude in their behavior without the risk of adverse consequences.

Now, the framework is flipped. There are a limited number of archetypes everyone is expected to conform to, and if you depart from one of these approved archetypes, you will be labeled awkward.

A great example of this is the movie "Teen Wolf." Most of the "cool kids" in that movie would be considered "awkward" by today's standards, even adjusted for superficial differences in style, because they don't exude a vibe of effortless coolness.

I think it has something to do with the fear of silence, which stems from the dopamine addiction we have from our smartphones, computers, constant background noise and music and social media, etc.

If there is even a single moment of silence and nothing going on, that is extremely alarming to our cell-phone gaped dopamine drenched dick drunk brains, and is expressed as an "oh my god this is so awkward!" when in times past it was just another moment and people could handle silence or contemplation without fear. Now we are all infantilized and castrated by the constant succor and cloistering of pings, beeps, boops, alerts, alarms, notifications, likes, and other stupid shitlib retarded annoyances that suck the joy out of life, *revs dirtbike* we're not going to take it anymore, come with me if you want to LIVE.
