What is a Counterculture in the 21st Century?
| But what is a Counterculture in the 21st Century?
| Hipsterism.
| In a politics addicted society, apoliticism is the counter culture.
| Counterculture today is turning off your pc and going outside.
| >>397767 But we need politics I think, my country is rilled with corruption, partly of the reason is that for god knows how long, folks never cared about politics.
| >>397787 I tried that game sucked, the graphics were great, but was a really unfair game, some were spawned with all the cash beforehand, the gameplay was lame as hell, the movement sucked, it was a roguelike type with no replay whatsoever, nobody knows if there is an admin in that thing, they were always discussing if there is one or not, the every ost that came after the 80's patch sucked and so on, so you shouldn't
| >>397787
You're kidding me right?
Have you seen the average derp? "Normies" are never off their phone. Its just that instead of shitposting on an imageboard or Discord they're on Facebook and Youtube.
If anything it's anti-normie to avoid it all.
| >>397767 the problem is that usually staying apolitical is coupled with apathy, which means no real meaningful change occurs due to it
| Being a dongless trap is true counter culture
| >>399088 aren't they all corrupted? Any system that celebrates people telling any other people how they should think and feel and how they should live their life seems pretty corrupt to me.
| >>399254 No buddy, you haven't see true corruption yet, far from it. True corruption is, seeing people die in a line in a hospital from lack of resource, since the money from taxes that would go there, went to a politician pocket, schools falling appart, crime everywhere, that buddy is true corruption and I've seen it.
| >>399274
Sounds like the Philippines.
Except in the Philippines you won't even be seen without money.
| >>399274 Sounds like 80% of the world.
European countries, South America and parts of the US included.
| >>399839 Idk, but as a Cambodian, I can say we're also like that. And now that our PM is getting buddy buddy with China and letting the Triads in our country, on top of discretly selling lands to the gooks, things can only get worse
| >>400451 same
>>397675 op, i'd say the culture is going more and more pc/social justice, so i guess the counterculture to that would be to be as racist and offensive as possible? I'm thinking nazism is the new counterculture.
| >>b30577 Problem is that corruption is everywhere. Perhaps not in same proportions, but everywhere.
| >>400510 >>400482
I'd say it's true for the English speaking world.
The non Marxist left of 60-80 came to power and changed nothing. Their bourgeois feminism was absorbed by the capital.
And now there is some sort of nihilistic, racist, anti-capitalist counter culture which is being developed.
But it already split in a few different groups.
Anonymous as nihilistic and anti capitalist, parts of 4chan into real fascists, parts into bourgeois racists like proud Bois.
| >>401044 tbh I feel that 4chan only adopted fascism, partly because of the rise of the fake left and SJWs.
| >>401048 That makes sense, they are the arch enemies of PC Culture/SJW, they needed some weapon against the
| i miss when anonymous only did things for the lulz, and that was enough.
| >>401048 the citizens of kekistan will rise again if the world keeps getting worse
>>401318 exactly. The whole HWNDU thing was basically a big pr stunt to say fuck off to the SJW's. They were taking things too far, so the internet responded with fascism.
| >>8b5881
Nowadays the lulz is just another piece of food for the Society of spectacle. Look at memes: they are just variations of long cat. Anon had to change in order to remain abrasive and insufferable. To remain counter-cultural, only fascism was left for Anon, hence the /pol/ shitstorm.
| >>402455 Hardly. If that were so, then their method of invasion would be politically or militarily instead of economically. Plus, they've got no sin of greed, and has historically been known to be the ones to handle the money.

| When oppositional forces reach critical mass, countercultures can trigger dramatic cultural changes. Prominent examples of countercultures in Europe and North America include Romanticism (1790–1840), Bohemianism (1850–1910), the more fragmentary counterculture of the Beat Generation (1944–1964), followed by the globalized counterculture of the 1960s (1964–1974), usually associated with the hippie subculture and the diversified punk subculture of the 1970s and 1980s.
