I’ve been saying this for a while now. Abso-fucking-lutely. I wrote these two comments a while back and saved it, not all of it is about the 17th, but it expands upon it even more:

The early 1900s was when the seeds for corruption first began to take root. You had first-wave feminism, the First Red Scare, the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the implementation of credit from banks, and the 17th amendment (it made the voting of senators a direct vote rather than via state legislatures; this makes it easier to corrupt the senate because most people are idiots who will vote for whoever the media says to vote for and have no business in politics, and also because it made senators beholden to the people financing their campaigns). One thing that I find particularly interesting is how feminism coincided with the First Red Scare. Communism, a liberal ideology, promotes that everyone is the same (i.e. "equal") and always promotes feminism; it's not a coincidence that the Red Scare and first-wave feminism came with each other. The US really did begin to be infiltrated then. The funniest part about all of it is that feminism completely died down once the Great Depression hit. Can't have equal rights between men and women when times are tough lol.

The fucking bankers were the ones who pushed for it too with feminism, starting in the early 1900s (maybe even before that). They knew that women were more susceptible to caving in to public pressure and conform more readily than men, so they first changed the vote for senators to be a direct vote (17th Amendment), rather than elected via the legislatures; then they gave women the right to vote (19th Amendment) knowing that they’d vote in favor of whoever the propoganda media (newspapers and speeches) at the time said to vote for, thus granting control of the senate to whomever the media wanted, which of course would always be in the bankers’ favor (since they’d pay the media to write a certain way). Not to mention, changing it into a direct vote meant that senatorial candidates could now be bribed via campaign donations and such. Wanna know what’s so funny about all this? It coincides PRECISELY with the time of the First Red Scare, when commies were actively infilitrating the US, when communists began taking over Russia, and elsewhere around the world. Feminism was originally a Marxist ideology because they believe everyone is equal, as in there are no differences between men and women. International Women’s Day first started in Russia after all; it’s now all but dead there, and HUGE in the US (compared to other parts of the world anyway). Funnily enough, the crash of 1929 halted all of this because you can’t have equal rights between men and women when times are tough lol. That’s why women never sign up for the Selective Service Act and never complain about male-dominated jobs like plumbing or construction work or underwater welding or farming hahaha But anyway, to anyone who reads this, they wanted feminism because by having women work, that meant that households now had 2 incomes instead of just one, which meant that the huge corporations could increase the prices on everything and therefore make more money. This in turn caused inflation, which means that now women MUST work, whereas before they didn’t have to (just as an aside, women were able to work before; it just wasn’t in the culture to, but they most definitely were allowed to, so don’t believe in the bullshit feminist propoganda saying they couldn’t; the wage gap is also a myth, too). In the end, it royally fucked over men because all that happened was WE made less money in non-inflated terms. Also, the government supported this because they could now tax the other half of the population and by nature of that, have more control & money (which also gives more control). Not only that, but now kids were forced to go away to school at an earlier age. Before feminism, women would teach their children until the age of about 7 or 8 years old before sending their kids off to school. But now it’s 4, sometimes even earlier. Interestingly enough, Second Wave Feminism is also when the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was passed. So yeah, here’s another redpill for y’all.
