Socionomics Alert: Shift in Social Mood Underway, South Korea and Guatemala Reject Feminism, LGBTQ

Socionomics tells us to expect an ultra-extreme reversal in gender politics. We are inside of an already 20+ year negative wave of mood and the reversal could be as long-lasting. The example I like to use is consider the drug use and androgyny of the 1970s against Rambo and the Terminator in movies and "Just Say No" in drugs. The reaction against infinity pronouns and transgenderism is going to be look something like the abolishment of feminism. There will be extremely rigid and defined gender roles for male and female like no one has seen in decades, if not hundreds of years. Sodomy could be made illegal again. It's possible feminism itself will be abandoned in the next positive mood wave that comes out of this one.

For now, this is not a sign that mood is turning. The trend is still negative. Instead, this is more an indicator of what may come when mood finally shifts. What the positive mood cycle might look like when it finally gets underway.

The reversal is getting started overseas. South Korea swung conservative this week and now Guatemala is passing laws against abortion and LGBTQ.

UnHerd: South Korea’s incel election

While sexism in South Korea is nothing new, the aggrieved misogyny animating young men is of a more recent vintage. In their 2019 book Men in Their 20s, journalist Cheon Gwan-yul and data scientist Jeong Han-wool found that the young generation’s misogyny was marked by over-the-top hostility against feminism: 58.6% of South Korean men in their 20s said they strongly opposed feminism, with 25.9% rating the intensity of their opposition as 12 on a scale from 0 to 12.

Unlike older men, who held to a patriarchal worldview defined by rigid gender roles, young men reject the sense of masculine duty that typically accompanies old-school sexism. Rather, they see themselves as victims of feminism and define themselves politically by this sense of victimisation.

ABC: Guatemala increases abortion penalty, bans same-sex marriage

On Wednesday, which Guatemala’s Congress declared “Life and Family Day,” President Alejandro Giammattei said in a speech at the National Palace, “This event is an invitation to unite as Guatemalans to protect life from conception until natural death.”

Guatemalan women convicted of terminating their pregnancies can now face sentences up to 10 years that before were a maximum of three. The Congress imposed even heavier penalties for doctors and others who assist women in ending pregnancies.

Abortions are legal only when the life of the mother is at risk.

Lawmakers backing the legislation said the law was necessary because “minority groups in society propose ways of thinking and practices that are incongruous with Christian morality.”

Some policy shift is also emerging in the U.S.

The Western media will be near useless when it comes to explaining trends because, like in the piece on South Korea, they will just blame it on racism. I mean misogyny or homophobia. Or whatever word is popular at the time. There is no introspection about Baizuo policies, their cause and effect, or even a basic understanding of how success works in politics. Trying to press a victory beyond its goal ends up creating new oppression, as is the case with feminist policies. Most college campuses, for example, continue pushing programs for female enrollment (though there are outliers) while data showing male enrollment dropping clearly indicates they have gone too far and now made college campuses hostile to men. Pointing this out is met with screeches of misogyny and reactionary increasing of feminist policies. With the bill in Florida, the law is against teaching sexual topics to young children. It is now an issue of who is protecting and harming little kids, and the LGBTQ community is starting to come off like pedophiles in their zeal for pushing these issues into kindergarten level. Thus victory becomes defeat because the reaction isn't going to be short-lived when mood shifts, it's going to be a massive reversal. 

When social mood shift, it looks for targets. As I have pointed out with secession, the most likely targets are where there is an advanced secession movement. With something like culture, the "squeaky wheel" gets the grease. Extreme cultural trends will meet extreme reversal, while those that are "sleeping dogs" will probably be left alone until the positive mood wave becomes extreme. The transgenderism pushing into female sports, for example, could well open up questions about the existence of female sports because, prior to feminism, female sports weren't as big of a thing. 

Geopolitics will also play a role. One moniker for the American Empire is the "Globalist American Empire," the GAE. The U.S. State Department is a major advocate of feminism and LGBTQ all over the world (shoving it down the throats of Afghanis was an all-time backfire). Russia and China are purposefully anti-GAE in every respect, with Russia turning back to Orthodox Christianity and China focused on moving closer to traditional gender roles among other issues. As U.S. power wanes, so too will its spread of modern sexual ideology. More countries will reject U.S. culture for traditional culture. Eventually, the "revolution" will come home to the United States.

Understanding the geopolitical dimension helps clarify why Baizuo seem to be going for broke against Russia and likely soon China. Why the Russiagate scandal made sense in their warped minds. They realize their domestic political enemies and some of their foreign enemies are closer in terms of religion and culture to each other, than either is to the Baizuo. The press likes calling Putin unhinged and crazy, but the regime behaving more erratically is ever more paranoid and neurotic Baizuo. Had the conservatives in the USA not bought the anti-Russian propaganda hook-line-and-sinker, Baizuo paranoia might already be going off the charts. Extreme ideas such as transgenderism are very core to the Baizuo identity and if you see the world as pro- and anti-trans, it is easy to see how Putin and a Trump voter, or perhaps Putin and J.K. Rowling (a feminist against some of the trans excess), are somehow allied in their minds.
