Whatever "power that be" is attacking all the pillars that uphold good democratic societies. It started with Government moved to Science then Medicine, and Media, it attacked trust in Police and Courts. It has been systematic.

I knew relationships between men and women should be in there since it is such a major part of keeping a society running but I never knew how it would get attacked. Honestly never thought it could. Lately its been obvious reading some places online like where the whole idea of marriage is treated like a dessert and where people gather to describe every ick imaginable while demanding that its members deserve only the best most succulent desserts.

There's a total break down of society and I don't think its just natural. I fully believe there's some paradigm shift going on and this is all the groundwork for it.

I thought this was common knowledge that the elites waged a culture war after occupy Wall Street.

What is unfortunate is that their strategy sinks the very ship they sit on top of.

it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning

I dunno about it being unnatural. It's in our nature to destroy ourselves.
