In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.

    Whatever “power that be” is attacking all the pillars that uphold good democratic societies. It started with Government moved to Science then Medicine, and Media, it attacked trust in Police and Courts. It has been systematic.

    I knew relationships between men and women should be in there since it is such a major part of keeping a society running but I never knew how it would get attacked. Honestly never thought it could. Lately its been obvious reading some places online like where the whole idea of marriage is treated like a dessert and where people gather to describe every ick imaginable while demanding that its members deserve only the best most succulent desserts.

    There’s a total break down of society and I don’t think its just natural. I fully believe there’s some paradigm shift going on and this is all the groundwork for it.

      I thought this was common knowledge that the elites waged a culture war after occupy Wall Street.

      What is unfortunate is that their strategy sinks the very ship they sit on top of.

        Does it?

        Maybe I’m wrong in this but it’s all status quo. If you are in a group who has power but you’re losing that power then you need to change the status quo. But that’s never to impossible without a disruption. You need a bit of chaos and using the metaphor, you need to have water coming into the boat for people you change their seats

      I dunno about it being unnatural. It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves. [/Arnie accent] But I don’t doubt that there are powers stoking that fire, hoping that if they accelerate collapse in a particular way, they can come out on top. Eat the most futures, and you may prolong your present. [Insert Saturn Devouring His Son]

        That’s the way I see. They’re after a collapse. When the collapse happens they are there to pick things up and be reposition into the power vacuum
