I know I made a similar, and more lengthy post on this earlier, so I wont try to beat a dead horse. But after I made that post I had an IRL conversation with an older acquaintance on similar topics, and had an epiphany. The whole societal/political pendulum concept is more true than I realized.
Think about it, in the 60s and 70s you had all the free love hippy movement, where everyone just wanted to be a drug addict hippy. This is also when the gay rights movement really started and began gaining some form of traction. All of the stoner young people were essentially bisexuals since they were all about "free love" and would have rampant drug induced sex with anyone regardless of gender.
Not that different from today no? Sexual immorality and queers (homosexuality, pre marital sex, etc.)? Check. Drugs and no accountability? Check. Constant state of unpopular war? Check. Economic and political Crisis'? Check. Fuel/energy Crisis? Check. Corporations selling us out for a profit? Check. Joe biden and nancy pelosi in office? Check.
Honestly, sounds quite a bit like today if you think about it doesn't it? Fast forward through the Fourth Great Awakening and political/societal backlash, and you end up in the 80s and 90s where the official undeniable numbers and stats show we're a Christian supermajority nation of 80%+, people actually hate gays to the point that they beat the crap out of them on sight just because (something I DO NOT support FYI, but that's how extreme the societal swing was), and we have Ronald Reagan (who is widely considered to be either the 2nd or third best president in modern history, with Trump being the first and JFK being either 2nd or third as well).
Go back even further and you have the same pattern with the first wave feminists, and "liberation" movement in the 20s, along with the rampant alcoholism from prohibition, and the political/financial turmoil from the Great Depression. Which of course led to the extremely conservative 40s and 50s.
So this is what I missed in my earlier post that my conversation with my older acquaintance pointed out to me. There's a SECOND 20-ish year pattern in the USA that gradually gets more and more extreme every go around. So with that in mind, I can't help but wonder how this will play out in the future considering how extreme the left hand swing of the societal/political pendulum was this go around.
I wonder how far to the right we'll be going over the next few years. I say this, because, even though I'm a Christian nationalist, and I'm extremely right leaning. I don't exactly want to end up living in a Christian version of Nazi Germany.
This is where I think the plan and Q comes in. Part of the plan it to mitigate this problem, and moderate peoples outrage and anger, so we don't go TOO far right. To me, this is starting to make more and more sense, the more I think about it.
Feel free to discuss below.
I suspect it will be unpredictable.
Trends move forwards, not back. Every time you see someone trying to push the past as "new" like the hipsters, everyone winces.
Nope, I think it'll be full-steam ahead into no-man's land.
And that's exactly why they hate it. Right now they control what's trendy. When they control what's trendy, they control the market. Sever their control structure by introducing a new moral framework inspired by the past but seasoned against the woke agenda, and what you have is something they haven't been able to plan ahead for.
If I had to narrow it down, I think meme culture will be the new "hot thing."
Soon all the people who don't understand memes will die off, and what's left are all the based and red-pilled shitposters who have a thick enough skin to ignore political correctness if not suppress it on a cultural level.
I don’t know. It used to be hip to be punk now it’s hip to be trad. The mental image of constant progress somehow making life better is a globohomo lie. Why can’t we develop a healthy culture and traditions and then enjoy them, instead of always racing after the next new thing like some spastic kid only to find out that it’s worse than what we discarded
If we were to settle in the familiar, humanity would perish.
Growth is required, but part of growth is finding out you've gotten too big for your container.
When we fall into the trappings of immorality, we are actually finding ourselves in a situation in which our roots and vines are spreading where the path is barren and the ground is hollow.
Only the foolish would double down in those places of death.
Those places are not suitable for further growth, but unless the roots of humanity experience them, then how would we know to avoid them?
The trap would never be sprung, and eventually someone will be dumb enough to fall for it. Isn't it better to spring the trap early, lest we spring it when we have no choice but to grow in its direction?
The original roots are never abandoned, only forgotten about. The whole plant would already have withered had we ever abandoned them. Instead, we just need to remember what we've had all along, and realize that the exploration of growth is a fleeting thing, not to be worshipped in place of the Anchor which keeps us grounded.
What is always worth preserving is that first root that took hold. We are slated to forget it at times, but should we ever truly abandon it, everyone would know in an instant.
We're not lost yet. We're not trapped yet. We just need the Garden Tender to come and tend the garden a bit. The first step is admitting we've got a problem we can't solve alone.
It may sound... odd...
But take time to understand what it means to offer your failures to God.
Thanks sleepydude that’s a very inspirational way to start my day. Well said and much appreciated
