There I was again on YouTube getting opinions handed to me thus infecting my brain until my brain is convinced they are my own. It's hard to differentiate a genuine thought (of my own) and not merely an agreement of someone else's thought. What to make of it?
We live, we listen and we learn. We were once, all of us, blank slates.
Early on we learn through observation. Our parents, and if we are lucky our older siblings put on the show. By this we start to learn how to act and react in the tiny world we inhabit. Even then we are forming our own opinions. They are obviously rudimentary and with no self-reflection, but enough to learn what to expect of others. As well, our family is quick to discern our likes and dislikes.
As you grow into a preteen you normally take on the opinions and beliefs of your parents or older siblings. Little girls dream of being mothers and setting up a home. A young boy wants to be an astronaut or fireman or even a cowboy, or maybe whatever profession his father is in. Then as you slip into young adulthood your friends and the televised world start to inform your opinions and you are likely to reject your parent's worldview, sometimes permanently.
Through it all you are a bundle of energy with all the time in world. You and your opinions about your world roil around looking for somewhere to go.
According to psychologist Carl Jung there is a fixed energy in all of us, energy that is always seeking an outlet. There is feminine energy and also masculine energy. If the energy is not spent naturally, it does not just go away, it creates uncertainty and doubt. The energy not spent on a conscious goal it will find and unconscious one. If we treat the suppression of a natural drive as liberation and do and not calculate the cost, or even that there is a cost we do ourselves a disservice. There is no zero-sum gain. There are only trade-offs.
For young men it means that since modern nations no longer need them to defend the homefront in large numbers and modern women "don't need no stinking man" for husband and father duties and modern business no longer needs them to build things their energy will go somewhere. Video games and pornography. It's pretty clear this is happening to a huge number of young men. They don't even take a shower or comb their hair anymore; many never change out of their sweats. Society doesn't seem to care. Yet, they are still blamed for everything, because they are men, toxic men. What men become are merely shadows.
Young women are encouraged, always encouraged. Business needs women to fill positions - at lower pay. Colleges need women to fill social quotas, and their equality bonafides. Society tells women they no longer need children or family, and they certainly don't need no stinking men. So, their built-in natural energy to be mothers and homemakers is swept under the rug. Where does that energy go? Social causes, society becomes their children, something to fuss over and guide toward some unfathomable outcome. They do it out of the goodness of their hearts, that built-in caring and compassion needs to go somewhere. No longer needing to be attractive to a potential mate they color their hair blue, don glaring, unflattering clothes and get tattoos and piercings. Even the ones with natural God-given beauty uglify themselves. And they shout, oh they shout, they scream, they march. They become hateful. They eventually fall into depression. Why? Because they are unfulfilled and nobody wants them.
Women aren't necessarily all to blame for this. They are rule followers by nature. Society sets the expectations and the rules of the game follow. Men can take some blame in the fact that they give up, some don't even try. But these are generalizations and trends, not rules. Deep down what women want is to be wanted, everyone wants to be wanted. Society, their peers and their mentors have been steering them away from traditional roles and any sort of faith-life. If they become pregnant the government will give them money and the services a husband used to provide. That is if she intends to keep the baby.
Just a few generations before there was no question whether we would pair up and have a family, it's just what we did, it's what everybody did. Then came the progressive era. Progressive is a grossly inappropriate word for 'them'. The same people now using the tools that real progressives developed intend to stop humanity from progressing into the future. The real tool they use are young women and their natural instinct to follow.
Women are the key to this utopian world the progressive's desire. Stopping women from falling in love and desiring a family is the goal. It's working. Men no longer matter, women want nothing to do with them. It's a society built on hate. Hate turns out to be so easy. Who doesn't want easy? Marriage and children are hard. What a horrible world they are delivering.
Now I'm depressed...
