Just imagine. The entire modern economy, pretty much anywhere, but certainly in any “Western” nation, is now based on the idea that everyone male and female, works full time…
Universities have become wholly female-dominated. So have many, many professional fields. Most workplaces cater to the wants of middle-class women. So does most government messaging. So does the entire “field” of HR and recruiting…
At the same time, birth rates are crashing to totally unsustainable levels. Children aren’t raised properly at all, and are shipped off to “childcare” or to older relatives, as early as possible. Parents no longer no, or care, how to raise kids.
Cook for your family? Congrats, you’re an outlier. Most people seem to view cooking as some sort of “luxury”, and instead base most meals on either frozen shit, or takeaway and deliver, depending on their background…
Marriage is broken, and hell, most millennials don’t even bother with it. Divorces are higher than ever, and many couples barely even see, or talk to, each other, let alone their kids, anymore. So many kids are from broken homes, now, whatever their background or race…
Yet jobs are still flying offshore (never mind automation. It’s not there yet), and immigrants are still piling in to every Western country, partly to keep the birth rates up, and partly to keep house prices and rents ever increasing… Oh, and to push wages down, of course.
This, despite more “locals” working than ever before. This, despite women demanding ever more catering to from corporate, and all of the “equity” bullshit…
There’s no way any of this is sustainable, and yet it is everywhere… In every single “developed” country.
Some people here like to talk about Russia, but christ, look at their birth rates. Look at China, too. It’s not just “American allies and adjacents” that this is affecting. It’s almost everywhere, with a few very notable exceptions…
Amazing to think that “women's rights” and runaway corporatism, plus unlimited contraceptives (arguably) may be what dooms us, let alone all the trans kids raised on hormones shit…
I would say that maybe some parts of humanity can still correct this ship, but I’m not so sure anymore…
I doubt even in 1980 people would have thought that fucking Nigeria and India would inherit the Earth, but here we are…

The National Conservatism Conference in UK is currently battering this specific topic pretty hard.
My only problem is how they rail against Thatcher and free markets, never once seeming to grasp that despite Thatcher's personal comments, she instituted nothing even close to economic liberalism, but instead introduced something close to what we currently recognize as the "East Asian Model of Communism" by creating Free Economic Zones within an already fully Socialist Britain. She didn't even deregulate the economy to the point that Chile would have been familiar with under Pinochet & his Chicago-School economic system. She did not "fetishize" the free-market, she simply liberalized an already Socialist Britain to a minor degree.
Pinochet is more economically Liberal than Thatcher. That's how far to the Left the UK has been.
It's fucking annoying that nobody in England seems to be able to see this. You can tell how retarded their concept of Libertarianism is considering the claims that the Lockdowns were Libertarian.
And don't get me started on the fucking idiocy of Phillips' comment that the British Civil Service was politicized only after Thatcher. You don't think the Civil Service has been a den of Leftist praxiology for over 100 years? I do. The US Stated Department was founded by Fabian Socialists. The Fabian Society was founded... in England. What do you fucking think they did?
Sounds like Thatcher and Reagan had a lot in common. None of it good.
They do. They were two of the major figures in the advancement in neoliberalism.
Thatcher didn't destroy the UK's white working class (which would have just been the working class of the UK). That working class destroyed itself with Leftist policies. You vote for Leftist protectionism, you will inevitably face the same end result: utter destruction because of a failure to keep up with anyone or anything else.
It happened here in the US too. Protectionism didn't save places like Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Unlike Wales and Scotland, Ohio and most of Pennsylvania figured out that Leftist protectionism is a honey-trap.
