Every era has some cringe endemic to it. Bush era gave us a million portrayal of Islamic terroists shouting nonsensically, and a heightened nationalism across the entire mainstream political spectrum
I kinda find depictions of stability under neoliberalism in 90s media kinda cringe too. I mean I have the benefit of hindsight but there’s a bit of that “end of history” hubris in 90s media. Started to wear thin by the end in some media but there was still an undue sense of capitalist conquering pretty much right up to the twin towers falling.
I was around for a lot of that but was relatively young. Not old enough to really think about it too deep. I don’t remember them talking about that specifically but I do remember the sentiment that knowledge would lead us all to being renaissance people.
Personally I was just hyped about the cheat codes for sonic 3 and looking at cool dbz concept art for stuff that hadn’t come out over here yet.
Yeah, what I remember most is people telling me over and over that "there are no good jobs without a degree, if you don't get a degree you will be a failure and live in a ditch for the rest of your short life, take our as many loans as you need to get a degree."
LoL "lazy young people take out loans pay it back lol!"
See my trick was to fall down the reactionary rabbit hole long before Peterson was popular. I went from New Atheist to Anti-SJW the good old fashioned way; with angry rantsona YouTubers. It was much easier to figure out they were just losers because they didn’t have the status Peterson has, so I left them pretty quick. Then I found the primordial soup of what would eventually become Breadtube, and here we are today.
