Will the pendulum swing back or will society continue to degenerate?

Will there be a push for more "masculine" qualities in men? Will there be less social media, attention seeking, and promiscuity? Or are we on a downward spiral?

The ones in charge control the media, institutions and corporations so it's impossible for the pendulum to swing back. We are on a downward spiral for the foreseeable future unless a revolt or civil war happens.

The only reason for so much degeneracy is plentiful resources. Thatโ€™s going away now.

I feel bad for anybody who got married to a feminist in the last couple years. That person bought a penny stick at the top of a pump n dump scheme.

Zoom out to 1yr. The dollar is strong as fuk compared to basically any other currency. I agree that the US has been a chit place to live for the last 10 years, but the dollar is on its way to becoming gold overseas.

The recession that is happening in US is even worse in other parts of the world, I understand this. I'm assuming OP is talking more about dating and libcucks hating the avg male.

Just like Rome, It must burn.The dark ages are coming.

the elites need a huge scapegoat to keep the revolts off their backs and keep them in power. WW3 is the only way out.

I'd like to believe that it will swing back to the right hard. Just look at the like/dislike ratio on biden videos and woke movie trailers. We really are the silent majority and we're sick of this clown world chit

Its a pendulum and has to swing back. Liberals cant understand the concept of one though. Just like they think you can endlessly stretch a rubber band and it will never snap.

Just a matter of time.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

kinda how aussies lost the right to bear arms and their gov't nearly went martial law during covid. Clearly you have a complacent population.

Rome fell piecewise, just as we're seeing with the USA today. Germanic people infiltrated the military and basically arranged a coup.....

Sadly, nope.

The divides are too deep, too engrained now. The folks who have maintained their values will increasingly be seen as "lunatics" (you know, for calling a man a man, a woman a woman, and not trying to lump individuals into groups to undermine their humanity).

The folks who have lost theirs - lost in the "wet ass pussy" sort of talk, are low-class or even classless tools of society. Maybe a high value man will take one aside and smash once in a while, on a whim, but never ever marry or father children with these plebs.

And that's the divide. Values propagate; degeneracy too, but it is values that bind communities together, and degeneracy which destroys them.

If you live in Urban America it's a disaster. People are still fairly normal in more rural areas. Not perfect but it's not like Sodom and Gommorah.

Evolution/ Darwinism/ nature will always prevail in the long run.


And technically aren't the alphabet people extinct-ing themself out of the gene pool the more and more it becomes acceptable since when they live their 'truth' because they CAN'T reproduce?

Before, living in the closet they kept larping as normal and having kids passing the ****gi gene.

How is it going to swing back we have all of the social media degeneracy spreading like a wildfire, obesity rates increasing 1-2% per year, drug use at an all time high, lack of religion and nuclear family, rampant feminism, soy males everywhere etc etc

I only see things getting worse until we enter full on dystopia mode around 2030

If a comparable fraction of the 2020 violence was
directed at certain entities the swing back would happen fast.
