Like, I appreciate that the Overton Window shifts, but there’s no way this shit is organic…
It’s everywhere, now. Not just college campuses. Not just the internet. Not just cable news. In urban Australia, it is almost literally inescapable (unless you never turn on the TV, never use a streaming service, never read the news, and practically never leave your suburb).
It’s… Bizarre. And people have become afraid to speak out, or question it.
Hell, I even know some of my own family members (and family friends) have started to “adopt” political positions fundamentally at odds to the beliefs they claimed to hold, less than a decade ago… So much so that it takes getting them in a one-on-one, face to face situation to admit they secretly don’t believe what they pretend to, when around the rest of the family, or that they secretly don’t believe that the endless boosters and masks will “protect” them from this virus that everyone around me claims to still fear…
It’s… I don’t think I’ve ever seen society be this… Conformist, and cowed, and fundamentally… “Degenerate”.
Honestly, from where I sit, it feels like the loudmouth activists have won, and “we”/normies have fundamentally lost.
It’s fucking disillusioning AF. Just look at any “documentary” that covers how things have “changed” in the last 2-3 decades. I promise you, you’ll see the trend…
Something’s gotta give. Society can only bend so far left before it a) breaks, or b) snaps back.
More and more this feels like the last days of Athens/Rome/Constantinople. I very much doubt we have the technology and wherewithal to prevent a similar collapse.
Stay sane, y’all. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep pushing back, for what that’s worth…
Man, women and men differences is probably the most mainstream of topics where you'll get much more bite. Even my 60yo father who is a self described socialist is starting to say things to me like "I think you're right, women in the workforce hasn't been good". My uncle just told me a month ago that the reason there's a doctor shortage in many western countries is because they keep training female doctors and the women then only work 1-3 days a week if they even work at all. The entire doctor shortage would be prevented if they only trained men. These are huge leaps and bounds ahead of what you could say 10 years ago. Reality in this regard can't be ignored.
Part of the problem could be age group. I find if you talk to young adults, most especially around college age, that they are knee deep in equality propaganda and are desperate for women they still think bluepill simping is the way to go. Just give them a little more experience and they're right back at as truthful as you want to be. I routinely say things like "women have no inherent moral concious, only men do and men must control women in order to create a moral society" and while I get people disagreeing with me, I rarely get people getting too upset over it, besides women of course but hopefully you don't discuss anything with women. It's like talking to your cat on how to improve your living situation.
