I saw this paragraph over at Bad Cattitude (https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/reality-rugpull?utm_source=post-banner&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=posts-open-in-app&triedRedirect=true)
“they [modern young women] have forged externally validated identities on patterns of facts and assumptions about how the world was and is that cannot find consonance with reality, and as more and more folks defect from this world view, it gets harder and harder to find ways to tell yourself that you are not seeing what you’re seeing.”
He was writing about the dramatic leftward political shift among modern young women. I have seen this with relatives – any attempt to engage is met with an outright refusal to even consider facts that might threaten their Weltanschauung. And I understand the reaction – can you imagine the internal terror to even glimpse a threat to a lifelong construction of who they think they are? A “who” that is continually validated by other women who seek their own validation thereby? The social nature and need for group acceptance is powerful.
This hard leftward shift in the female American polity does not bode well for the future of Western civilization. There is only one direction it takes: the frigid night of collectivism, whether socialist or communist.
I don’t know that it is inevitable. The pendulum may have changed direction. But I’m not sure that it can be changed by anything other than a huge dose of Reality striking.
