OP here - I agree.

Old Order = Masculine qualities

New Order = Feminine qualities

I think we can all agree that Masculine was much better for the advancement of our civilization.

Just because it produced amazing results doesn't mean it wasn't imbalanced.

Look at China - they are lifting millions of their people out of poverty every year. Their rise over the last 40 years has been nothing short of meteoric. It really is, undeniably, amazing, inspiring stuff... Until you look at how they are doing it. A brutal police force, massive surveillance, absolutely unchecked state authority, corruption everywhere, and blatant disregard for their own workers. The party is all that matters. The only reason they're lifting people out of poverty at all is because as long as they deliver economically, dissent against the party will remain easy to stamp out.

It seems to me that humans are very bad at picking reasonable, balanced, middle-ground solutions. Moderate systems of any kind don't seem to last longer than one generation before a more hardline approach from one angle or another takes the reins and fucks things up for no real reason other than to see if it'll improve things, even when things weren't bad before.

The older brought us to the moon, but it also obliterated families by keeping dad at work for so long that his kids never got to see him and his wife inevitably cheated on him.
