Its not just on this. I have noticed a lot of people who are becoming actually, unironically regressive on a great many issues. And I cant understand why, other than for some reason they seem to think that the momentum is on their side and people want some ultra-traditionalist society.
When in reality, most of the backlash to the Woke and the rise of Populism is related to "We just want the government, society, these retards who believe woke shit, ALL of them, to leave us alone!"
And if people listen to the other retards who are doing things like saying "Hey, we should use the momentum to do things like ban porn.", I hope they are prepared to lose that momentum. Because it aint going to fly.

Or, maybe, a lot of people are realizing the depths of certain lies they have believed their entire lives and are now unable to trust any thing they are being told.
This is what "question everything!" and all those platitudes eventually leads to. People so unable to accept anything that every single thing must be rejected or questioned to a degree nothing can pass.
The modern world has resulted in our modern problems. To correct the problems, reverse what's been done. It's not a difficult concept. Adamrises mentioned the other aspect of it. The people have been lied to, over and over, about everything. How could we trust institutions which have lied to us, which have hurt and killed millions of people? For context, if you don't know about confirmed conspiracy theories, and what governments (including the U.S. government) have done to its own people, then you won't know what I'm talking about. I wish I could tell you to do a deep dive into this subject and that it'd be easy to learn about, but most large conspiracy forums have been subverted and corrupted. This site's conspiracy forum is pretty good, but not as active as R/conspiracy used to be (before it was taken over by shills). If you'd like, I can give you examples off the top of my head, to give you a head start on what to search for.
"Culture is downstream from law," is an oversimplified rebuke of populist delusions about power. The culture of the governing elites, which is derived from their base values and what Pareto calls sentiments, is enforced downwards onto the ruled through both formal laws and unofficial policies. The main point is that culture flows downward from the sovereign, which is he who decides the exception, to the populace. In order to change the culture, it is necessary to change the governing elites.

Much of what we learned growing up was an outright lie. Why cling to a lie?

The people's opinions do not matter and have never mattered. Culture is downstream from law.
What defines law? Are the elites not part of the culture?

A lot of people find comfort in lies... even those who claim to hate them.
