People are much meaner than before

People are much meaner than before and I’ve been saying this for the last 2 years and I’m writing this in September 2025. Then I see a video of a guy talking about this. He’s not awake, but he does mention the scamdemic being the starting point which is obviously true, that is when WWIII started.

Here are the comments from people in this video that is more evidence that people are much meaner than before and I always thought that most people were mean spirited. No empathy is what I’ve been saying, but most people are brain dead and have only gotten worse since the evils have been attacking our brains NON STOP!

WOW, I read comment after comment from Gen Xers that say they have NO KIDS. How did that happen? I had to look it up because I never follow these stupid labels. It looks like I’m a Gen Xer at the very beginning of the date range, and it goes until the early 80s.

I thought the poisonous vaccines didn’t start until the late 80s, so how is it that no one had kids??? I find this very suspicious.

**Ok, here are their comments (I don’t put quotes around them to save me time)**

People are too rude and angry . So I go get my groceries and go hiking and tend to spend quite a lot of time alone because it is scary how people have changed .
The smartphone is literally the most destructive invention in human history. 9 out of 10 people are walking around like zombies glued to their tiny screen. It is a disaster.
When i walk my dog & pass other people, i say hello, 8/10 people look at me like im from outer space
I have said it for years that cell phones and the internet have ruined our lives and has made people very mad and unfriendly .
Is it me, or are people WAY more aggressive with their cars too!? The roads are like a war zone!!
I’m 57. Back in the 70s and 80s I had no problem talking to people from the 40s-50s and 60s. We were different but we all spoke the same language and had many of the same experiences. Now as I’m in my 50s trying to relate to people from this century it is completely impossible. They have no verbal communication skills. Short attention spans and zero comprehension of human interaction.
I work in hospitality, theres alot wrong with people in general. No one reads signs, no respect, lack of paitence, sense of entitlement is strong.
It is ironic to me that, in an age when we have more ways to stay connected than ever, we are more disconnected than ever. Disconnected from others, from ourselves, and from the earth on which we live. People in public places are so mesmerized by what’s on their phones, that they seldom talk anymore. The same is true when friends and family gather. People have become much less interested in family life and being around other humans. So many now prefer to live isolated and solitary lives. It seems to be a growing trend to “hate” people altogether and just keep to oneself. I think it’s crazy and dangerous. I don’t like this trend at all. Compassion, humanity, and empathy are viewed as weakness, while rage and revenge are seen as cool. And now AI is creating art, music, and stories, as well as many other things that really should be modes of human expression. It’s all extremely frightening to those of us who are paying attention.
What I hate is that I’m 57 years old and ended up with this type of society in my older years. I’m use to being with friends, visiting friends, going to movies, bonfires and picnic beach days with friends. Everything has changed.
It’s not just people, it’s reality. Reality feels different from 15-20 years ago and it’s not for the better.
I feel this to my core and live it every day. I swear most of the people in my life, even those closest to me, are like different people. Like they are just shells of who they were. It is beyond heartbreaking.
Ive noticed empathy has become rare.
The older you are, the more you notice this.
I was on the subway and a woman complimented my coat and said she had the same one in the 1970’s. I told it was a vintage coat and maybe it was hers. We both smiled, it was such a nice and rare interaction I almost cried and didn’t know why.
I REFUSE to pull out my phone in public anymore. I can’t stand looking around, everyone is ALWAYS on that stupid phone. If I had enough money to truly retire, I would throw it in the ocean.
Let me tell you a story…I came out of the grocery store yesterday to a raging downpour! Didn’t expect it. Nobody did. We were all standing around with our groceries waiting for it to slow down because none of us wanted to get drenched. Then, a lady who had just walked up from out of the rain with a big umbrella offered to walk me to my car and I gladly took her up on it! We chatted as we took the short walk to the car and she handed me my groceries, then she took my cart and was gone with a “have a great day and God bless you!”
Yes, there will be people who’ll look away when you smile at them or say hello, but there are still those who are willing to reach out when you least expect it. BE THAT PERSON. I will pay it forward as well and one at a time we can all try to turn this around. We all get discouraged sometimes from some random encounter..but try not to allow it to poison your worldview.
The cellphone has killed human interaction
People need to realise that cellphones and the internet should only be INSTRUMENTS, not life itself….
That’s how they want you to feel! They want you to feel overwhelmed, confused hopeless and powerless so they can get on with their agenda! Good people have not changed. We’re still here. We still care. But there’s a lot of hate, mistrust and fear out there.
Years ago when you talked with people you were being “sociable”. Now…..in 2025….you’re “invading their space”!
I am 71, been saying people are angry, irritable, disconnected and some while shopping act like robots. They walk with their carts walking right in front of you, wanting you to stop so they can cut you off. Don’t even get me started with driving on the roads. Scary times.
I’ve noticed the same thing when I’m walking people will walk right in front of me and expect me to stop for them when I’m the one who had the right of way
ITS THE TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS CHANGED PEOPLES INTERACTION!!!! THE DEVICE HAS TAKEN THE SOCIAL SKILLS AWAY FROM PEOPLE!!! NOW THEY ARE BENT ON STUPID, STUPID, AND MORE STUPID!!! NO YOU ARE NOT IMAGINING THIS!!! I GAVE YOU THE ANSWER!!! YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! IM 77 YEARS OLD AND I GET IT!!!
People have developed an “I dare you!” attitude, challenging others to do or say something to offend them. Nasty and unhappiness is everywhere.
People seem to worry about the nameless viewers on the net more than the actual people in front of themm
Im 55 years of age and my brother is 76 , he lives alone, has no internet. He asked me a while back:” kid, when did things get weird?” He sees this without social media or the internet. He lives in the boondocks as well, and still sees this with his limited outlook. Ive saw massive changes in my extended family especially in the past year. My kids don’t understand why i pine for the old days. ( ive a 30 year old and a 15 year old) they say they don’t see it. I feel bad for them, especially my youngest child. They’ll never enjoy the liberties i had growing up, especially the love of others. No neighborly love .
So true, even the high end art world reflects this, all is chaotic and ugly.
Hypersensitive?? Wow that’s a good one which I’m going to steal from you because that’s so true. I say all the time how sensitive and thin skin everyone is it is unbelievable. I can’t even say anything to my family anymore which I never really said much but still you don’t even want to say anything to them that is like slight slight criticism or they’re doing something wrong or you even just when I try to help them out forget about it, they just want to jump down your throat and I don’t say anything anymore
I live in Melbourne. And although I’m a female and have always been selective about going out in the evening, I am petrified during the day. We are having teenagers storm peoples homes carrying knifes and swords. Then they get caught and let go because they are minors. They are stealing peoples cars from their driveways, in daylight, with children in the cars. We have always been very fortunate to have the safety we have in Melbourne, but it’s gone.
I can say this here because it’s anonymous…I’m a gen-xer with no kids. The last time I visited my brother and his kids, I could feel that there is something very wrong with society. They were completely uninterested, unable, unwilling to acknowledge me, a guest in their home, much less have a conversation with me. They’re both in junior high. They were rude, cold, and weird. My brother is an outgoing, warm, generous father, but it has not rubbed off on them. They stayed upstairs playing on their own computers and the only time I saw my niece was when she’d come down and ask my brother to buy her another game. We tried to watch a movie together, but my niece talked over the movie the entire time. Bizarrely, that was the only time she demanded attention, when we were trying to relax and watch a funny movie together. I tried to ask my nephew a question about himself when we went for a short nature walk, and he walked away from me.It was stunning.When I was a little girl, I was polite and friendly when my aunts or uncles paid attention to me. I wouldn’t want to do anything to offend them or be rude in any way.My brother seemed completely oblivious to how weird his kids are. I guess parents just have no control over how their kids turn out these days?Anyway, glad I found this video. Ove noticed a huge change too. I think it’s social media as well. Things started to get weird around the time FACEBOOK reared its ugly head.
WOW! That’s almost exactly what happened to me. I drove 4 hours to visit my brother, who was my best friend. I could tell right away, something was off. I later found out I wasn’t wanted there. I should have listed to my instincts, but hey, it’s my brother. Never again.
I am another case just like you, two nephew of my older sister, acting just as you describe. I have no children and feel relieved for that. Being alone has its challenges but i will take them. I get a ray of hope meeting others who know of the change you are describing …and miss the human soul of simple interaction without tech
defenatly feal it when i go to friends houses ,ther kids are strange and distant ,when i was a kid id want to know who was in the house not just be glued to a device.
People criticize a parent who let a toddler or a dog run the whole house but now it’s fine if the gadgets run everything.
Gen X here and childfree. I have the same disturbing experience visiting my brothers’ kids. The younger ones are nice but the teenagers and adults are impolite to say the least. 😢
You’re not wrong. I’m also a Gen X female but I do have kids. My husband and I were born in ‘67 so we are at the beginning of Gen X coming off the Boomers. Our kids were born in ‘97 and 2001. We raised them with manners, respect and love. They have become very compassionate and kind adults and it was just because of the way we were raised. My sister? She’s a couple years younger than me and the difference is huge. Her kids act the way you described. Hers are younger than mine but you really see how the decline in parenting went down and I feel social media played a part. My 28 yr old is glad she grew up before phones and social media took off. My son is a very old soul and super tech savvy so I never had issues with him. We didn’t give them phones or tablets right away and they weren’t allowed to live on them either. It’s just a sad world. My daughter pointed out one night at dinner to a table of about 15 people. 6 -7 were young kids. Every single one of them was on a device!!! This is my 28 yr old being appalled. 😂 No one seems to want to parent their kids these days. We also recently out to dinner, saw a couple canoodling in a booth and across from them? Their two children on tablets! Either be a family out to dinner or get a babysitter. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was an expensive restaurant too. Sad.
I think parents have complete control, but they’re not raising their kids the way they were raised and that’s why millennial’s are so different from boomers, and gen-xers… and so on. It’s not the kids faults – and perhaps you should have said ‘hey, lets hang out and have pizza and ice cream’ – I bet they would have loved it, but aren’t getting that from their parents who may be hyper-focused on their phones all the time. I see families at restaurants all on their phones and no one talks. THAT’S what these kids have grown up with. That and 2020, 9/11 aftermath etc, etc,. Don’t blame it on a generation, look at the one that raised them – and keep going back.
I’m 63 and was late to the smartphone phase. But in 2010 or so, I remember just before getting one how quiet it was everywhere I went. It was like a social ghost town.
I think they were just then working out the tech kinks in these smartphones to be faster and more efficient. I thought how weird society had become. Then, when I got the phone and opened a Twitter account for the first time, I realized where everyone went.
I think also more people nowadays are born with autism than not. That’s what it seems to me at least.
I so agree. I do wonder if ai will eventually omit the words compassion, kindness, empathy and patience from the dictionary.
Parents let the internet and video games babysit their kids so they can get on facebook and gossip.
I don’t know which country you’re in and if you can confirm this in any way. But I think it’s a huge sociocultural problem, that it has become normal to put one-year-olds in day care. This kind of “care” is guaranteed to breed soulless, apathetic droids, devoid of empathy yet yearning for attention. Combine this with social media-induced loss of reality and narcissism, low-quality education, and an all-over lack of resources and options, and you have your perfect Zombie Nation. You won’t survive the modern world, when you’re not dead inside.Even though it hurts like hell, but as a Gen-X dad I have to say: You’ve made the right choice not having kids! Our society is doomed, and it’s the worst place for children imaginable.
Had a similar experience with my niece who made selfies for snapchat every few minutes. She said they were like emojis but with your face. Part of it could be the teen thing but she had zero interest in me, indifferent, remote, lost to the phone, sad to see. I can’t help but wonder what kind of memories they will have, what kind of personalities will develop from that.
I’m also a Gen Xer, married with no kids. My sister, husband, and kids could care less about anything going on in our life or anyone else’s for that matter. It’s all about her, her, her, the kids, and her.
As an experiment at a family gathering, I would ask 10 questions and see if the conversation was reciprocal. Well…
Now, for the sake of my mother, Thanksgiving is the only gathering I attend. I’m happier…
Omg, my friend’s teenaged kids are EXACTLY the same. They are almost nonverbal, rude, overly anxious & then all of a sudden, will have loud, violent overreactions to the least little thing happening, followed by a total meltdown where they cannot handle ANYTHING in their little teenager life. So weird, so bizarre. I was happy to get away from them when I was visiting my friend. And btw: my friend is actually afraid of her own kids & locks her bedroom door at night, “just in case”. How strange is that to have to live with this day in & day out?
I don’t have kids either but my younger friends that do let them b home schooled and stay n their rooms and play video games all night. Sleep all day. Won’t step outside to play basketball or ride their bikes. Won’t take the trash out or help with other chores. Just shut ins. Never hear them speak until their mom is trying to talk to me on the phone and then it seems like they r deliberately doing it to b rude because even they say they wait til I get I on the phone. These kids r not prepared for the world and probably won’t leave her house to live a life we once called normal. I think to myself I am so lucky to b born n the 60’s when as a kid u played outside all day till dark and done kid things. We wanted to skate and throw balls or build forts and go camping. We went to school and rode the bus and computers were coming when I graduated. I’m so glad I don’t have kids as I wouldn’t want them to have to navigate life as it is now. Social media has created bullies and falsehoods. It’s sad. I use to b afraid of dying but I’m looking forward to not being on this earth with the this society.
fellow Gen Xer here too, also no kids. I have one nephew and he just graduated last year but he’s exactly the same way as you described your niece and nephew. I also agree I was the same as you in that I never wanted to offend an elder when I was a kid. These times are so weird and uncomfortable. I want normalcy back but I think we’ve opened pandora’s box and there’s no return.
I disagree as a Millennial born in 1991. WE were the last graduating class without smartphones invading our lives (2009). Sure, we had tech involved in our lives, but “the internet” was a place you went to spend a short amount of time on a desktop in a room, it wasnt constantly available in your hand. Yes my friends and I were guilty of playing video games for too long at times, but those were comparatively simple ones to the ones kids spend tons of time on with strangers across the world. Video games were played in a room with several other buddies and comradery was had between everyone in that room, we werent alone for HOURS on end like kids today. We entertained ourselves in such simple ways compared to todays kids. We would play made up games outside for hours when we were young and then once we were driving age, a hangout/meetup often times was just sitting on the hood of the cars in the local grocery store parking lot and having a real conversation. The only cell phone that could take our attention off of this was a simple flip phone that was mostly for calls, and occasional simple texts. The one-two punch of social media and smartphones in the early 2010’s was the catalyst for changing society and how kids grow up. I intentionally put my phone in another room on the charger when im with my family these days. They are phone addicts like alot of people now but this tactic does help influence them to stay off it around me.
Yes this! I dont have kids but I have 15 nieces and nephews, and before I had any , I always thought how I’ll be a good/also respected uncle (like my uncles to me but even better because Ill talk to them more on their level/will be someone they can talk to or trust with anything etc) and holy crap how wrong I was, its just like your story with my siblings being good and smart and nice people, but some of the kids are just downright rude and terrible in comparison to how we were as kids to our aunts and uncles, I feel so disguised and disrespected at times because I just think if I ever talked to my uncle that way idve got smacked but at the same time I never had the thought or want to disrespect an adult. Granted some od them are nicer than others but in general they act more like Im just a random peer vs an adult and uncle, idk its messed up
You may not have noticed this at the time, but I did: our educators were already starting to promote various ideologies and to control our way of thinking. Fortunately, they still weren’t very good at it, and when we were outside of school, our overall society was too strong: it kept us real, for the most part. But as time passed, that changed. Kids become more and more programmed. Parents had less and less influence. Kids were kept more and more isolated from society as a whole, and the earlier changes from previous attempts slowly accumulated and began to pick up speed. Technology, supposedly a tool to provide different viewpoints and knowledge from all over the world, came to be controlled by fewer and fewer people, and the viewpoints became almost identical. Debate and different viewpoints were stymied or simply ridiculed. Kids weren’t taught to be open or reflective of different ideas anymore. And these kids grew up and have now entered society and the workforce. We’re seeing the results.A “certain epidemic” only made things worse, and various groups used it to further their own agendas. Again: we’ve been seeing the results. These things are not necessarily terminal, but this path we’re currently on isn’t going to end well unless we change course… if we can.
work in public retail–nasty coworkers who live for gossip and customers who constantly complain. It is making me physically ill just being around all the toxicity.
I live in Ireland and yesterday I had a conversation with a farmer who formally ran a pub in the village. We spoke for over an hour about the changes in the community over the last 10 years. Nowadays, the young people don’t go out to the pub. The young people cannot afford to go out and socialise. The rising costs of living means that a night out in the pub would cost more than a Ryanair flight to Spain. The price of drinks and the taxis is cost prihibitive.
Our attention span has decreased yearly since the advent of TV, then Cable, Internet, Screens, Steaming.
If none of those things existed, we would interact and be more connected to reality.
I’m 66 and remember a time, when you spoke to someone, they would usually speak back. Now, when I speak, they either don’t speak back, or just look off somewhere.
I’m a Truck Driver…. I’ve been everywhere in this country. This entire country has been screwed up! Everywhere is awful. Every city has a different version of madness. Every town has a dark feeling. Very little positivity. This isn’t America anymore. I feel like I died, and I’m stuck in a Dark Matrix
The British started the custom of pubs hundreds of years ago to control the disgruntled poor. They could stop in for a drink, air their grievances and then go home, a little drunk but unlikely to revolt. Every small town had at least one pub. Nowadays legalized weed has replaced pubs as a means of control. It takes the fight out of men and sedated them. Nowadays every small town in states where pot is legal has at least one cannabis shop.
IMO It’s because we live in a self imposed surveillance state. Everyone has a camera and wants to catch a viral moment Any stupid thing you do, mistake you make will be captured uploaded and then subject to the worlds opinion. Everyone is guarded

The only way to win this war is with US!

People can shirk their responsibility in all of this which is just cowardice, but every day you can always choose to REALLY wake UP and fight with a Warrior like me or someone else to Help Save Yourself, Humanity, and our Mother Earth. ACTION!

Truth, Spirituality (nothing to do with the psyop known a religion), shedding your childhood trauma, becoming a mature adult, and then taking responsibility for yourself HAS to be done.

I know it’s hard because the evils control us, but it HAS to be done. If we all start to do it, this war WILL BE OVER. We have the POWER to stop them, but you have to play your part.

The key is learning who you are with everything else stripped away. Truly look in the mirror.

Learn how to love and respect yourself and then help others. If we all help one another, that’s sharing the workload.

Build alternative communities based on FREEDOM and Truth. Do it together outside of the evils’ mafia governments. It’s the ONLY way.

https://ourfreesociety.com/community

It’s our negative energy they feed off of. So long as we aren’t United and Strong, they can control us. We need to be United and Strong and FIGHT BACK by taking ACTION, NOT just accept what is going on. This is NOT a movie!!!

Both parts have to be done AND people have to STOP WORSHIPING MONEY.

The evils use money as a WEAPON. Money shouldn’t be used to judge others by their WORTH. Anyone who thinks this way is controlled by the evils and is harming Humanity. Yes we need it in THEIR system, so that’s why you need to break FREE from their evil MATRIX.

This war can ONLY BE WON BY US, not some deity or Human. That’s where the psyop religion comes in – SALVATIONISM.

They want you to NEVER grow up and fight them. They want you waiting for someone or something ELSE to save you so they have free reign to kill us while you wait, wait again, wait some more until YOU ARE DEAD.

Here’s my alternative therapy page. I hope you read and bookmark it. https://ourfreesociety.com/alternative-therapy-courses/

There’s NO SHAME in admitting you have issues. WE ALL DO.

It’s when you don’t care and don’t work to rid yourself of them (this doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a work in progress) that I have a problem with that because you refusing to not do the work affects ALL of us, not just YOU.

With tough Love

I hope you learned something.

Never make Authority your Truth… make Truth your Authority

The definition of insanity is blind obedience and doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Culture teaches us that only the police have the right to defend.
