It’s part of the decade long campaign to shift western culture into a more puritan and conservative one.

An effective way to groom men 18-35 is to slowly over the course of 6+months feed into their insecurities and then point out a common enemy as the source of their problems.

By feeding these insecurities consistently over a long period of time in subtle ways, the subconscious becomes more open to the normalization of these things until the individual believes they have come up with these beliefs on their own, based on what they’ve “saw” and “experienced”.

Common male insecurities are of a sexual nature. If you can guilt men for masturbating and convince them that they’re worse off for it, they’ll keep themselves in a self perpetuating sexual frustration state, which further primes them for other subtle changes to their psyche, as well as making them on average more irritable and angry.

Pair this with constant agitation propaganda personally curated and pushed into their social media feeds that they look at for roughly 2+ hours each day and you’ve got a good recipe for changing the political spectrum significantly for men 18-35.

The end goal is a radical change in governance from the flawed democracies we know to something more autocratic.

Bravo! Couldn't have said it better myself. Having been involved in bodybuilding and gym culture for 4 years now, there's a lot of overlap between that and Nofap and other manosphere/right-wing nonsense; online that is. I almost fell down this rabbit hole myself.

Same. I can explain it in depth because I too almost fell down this rabbit hole. 2015-2016 is when it got real bad and I started watching all sorts of sjw cringe compilations. As a barely adult I had no idea that all of this content was deliberately placed in front of me because I was the right target demographic.

What stopped me was when the rhetoric increased in severity and people started denying trans identity and claiming that these people should be locked up. At that same time I read a bunch of studies where they proved that neuron networks in trans people’s brains literally resembled the sex they felt they were. Science got me out of it and I quickly saw that this was just outright bullying/hatred and science denying.
