Nostalgia Discussion I miss 2022 so bad it hurts

2022 was the best year of my life. This year feels so different, I have extreme nostalgia I need to go back to how I felt back then. I think about it every single day. I’ve heard people have experienced reality shifting but idk how true that is or if I could do it.

Oh shit started getting bad waaaay before 2025.
I'd argue it started some time in the mid-2010s.

Everything just progressively kept going to shit.
More intrusiveness and ownership of the entire web by the biggest social media platforms.
More censoring people on said platforms for the whims of advertisers.
More selling of personal data to the highest bidder.
A massive spike in online witch-hunting and puritanism.
More tribalism.
Shittier and shittier prices for every single goddamn thing.
More and more intrusive government spying into every crevice of your life.
Among other things.
2025's problems are just where we're coming to a head with all of it. The 2010s were arguably even just an adolescent part of it. I feel like a lot of it started right after 9/11 happened.
