The red pill crew is the biggest threat to Western Civilization.

This is because they are attempting to redefine Western Civilization as patriarchy, as inherently masculine and authoritarian.

This is the narrative… men built western civilization, women did not. Western civilization was built at a time when women were not involved in public affairs, and that is why western civilization is so good, because it is inherently masculine.

The idea is that the more women become decision makers in the world the worse the world gets. There is an effort to tie “wokeness” to femininity. Being woke, and having empathy are seen as inherently feminine, and inherently weak, and the downfall of civilization.

You see this subtext in a lot of memes... Civilization is inherently male, decision making is inherently male, order and logic are inherently male, and when women have influence they bring civilization down.

“Masculinity is conquering.” There is the slow and steady increase in the tyrant or “strong man” worship. And increase in praising kings. Example, Trump referring to himself as king on social media and the “weak men create hard times” memes. (And here “men” is not being used to mean “human”, it means males specifically.)

And what is happening here is that Western Civilization is being reframed as inherently masculine, patriarchal, and authoritarian. If this reframing is successful it will be very understandable when large groups of people become more hostile to Western Civilization.

I would argue probably 90+% of Trump supporters are completely ignorant of historical parallels, aside from his closest supporters who just want that sort of society. Not the sort of guy you want in power but it was inevitable to happen eventually. Every election in the foreseeable future is a lose/lose from my perspective at this point. Just gotta plan an exit strategy to a non western country if the time ever comes for that.
