I upvoted, I'm just one person though, and I have no doubt the malign people or more likely bots, will do the same to this response as well.

Personally, I would be in favor of a public listing of who downvoted what with an ability to flag accounts that do so abusively, in a way that prevents them from voting for a time in a non-transparent way. They need to have cost imposed on their actions.

I find an aberrant amount of downvotes in specific subjects like this one, where instead of seeking actual discussion, calls for discussion are used as a prop to induce response so they can then use the karma system structure as torture through Maoist forms. The majority displayed sentiment that isn't downvoted conveniently seems to follows socialist/leftist/communist sentiment (and I'm sure the silent majority of rational people out there would never follow destructive delusions like that).

Lower your karma to make what you say disappear to distort the sentiment, once invisible, have bots respond caustically, they squelch you to by extension isolate (a required component). Make you fear posting anything that is not deemed the collective narrative since downvotes and negative karma ban your account at a point.

Its all quite surreal, and at the same time vile, since it actively promotes the delusional overriding reasoning and critical thinking. Very destructive towards society as a whole since it drives people to go off the rails based on what they see.

There are many problems with the gatekeeping going on. As for your comment about young women, torture induces maladaptive behavior, and the definition of torture today does not require physical duress. Without a doubt the issues women face today are a result of their own psychology working against them that is very gender specific. I could go deep on this (as I've researched quite a bit), but needless to say its fairly obvious that the brittle coercive systems we have to interact with today have burnt bridges, and destroyed the subtle environment needed for us to propagate. There is benefit in national adversaries targeting children of the following generation so they destroy themselves.

Men lack motivation because the world today is not objectively driven. They have been lied to repeatedly throughout their life, and deprived of the tools a real education provides which are needed to discern rational truth and take action. They lack agency, and means and are hopelessly dependent on systems that have been failing to ruin progressively.

Boys are being taught maladaptive behavior through media, Girls too. Behaviors that cause friction, interference, disunity, and failure (learned helplessness); poisoning the generational water hole.

There are also malign entities engaging in making these things worse, to make their business model work, while dually performing the same methods that the USDA uses to eradicate certain parasites through sterility and eugenics (without informed consent). This is what the two monopolies that own all the brands of dating apps are doing, they don't match people up based on long-term compatibility; its often the opposite. A forever customer is a customer whose biological clock was run out through false perception.

You need to be able to economically support children. You need to be married to have children. You need to be compatible and pair bond to get married. Anything in this pipeline fails, birthrate drops; for reference a birthrate of 2 is replacement, we are at 1.6 and its dropping significantly.

There are also subtle gender differences in psychology that are being targeted. Men as a demographic trend towards promiscuity in mate selection relative to the amount of options available, women trend the opposite way choosing less partners overall based on the perceived pool of prospective mates. An entire county vs. a Bar, which do you think results in more matches?

The more prospective candidates, the less selections they make. They also don't date down, so everyone chases the 1% they never have a chance at.

They have in effect by becoming degreed, and through other manipulations done on them, eliminated the candidate pools of prospective mates where most will be childless and alone (as happens when the ratio exceeds the other with this as a requirement). Pipelines follow fairly predictable outcomes.

Its sad because its so subtle, and unbelievable as a result of lacking the necessary tools to recognize.

Most women don't even realize its happening in a conscious way. Its just where have all the good men gone, and through deficits in gender psychology; they've mostly all been filtered out, and the prospects worsened on the Men's side.

Its why many end up being involuntarily celibate living alone with their companion animals. Old maids.

Its a silent destruction that naturally accompanies breaches of certain economic truths. Adam Smith wrote about the requirements for producers and consumers (in purchasing power). The first pillar broke in the 1970s, that was wages purchasing power being suppressed so jobs could no longer support a wife, and three children (to risk manage 1 surviving to have children themselves). The second is expected to break between 2025-2030 collapsing the economy to non-market socialism through currency debasement (money printing).

The old as a cohort (those 55+) are and have in a very real way hoarding the resources needed to propagate us forward, and through false belief, and changes they've made towards that first purpose stripping agency (over their lives), ensured the environment for the young is so disadvantaged that there will be a great dying when age finally takes them. This is evident in the political power transition not taking place.

At any one time, 3 generations live side-by-side. Every 20 years political power was transferred, but that didn't happen after the baby boomers took hold of the majority in the 90s with political power, and they still hold the majority (thanks to modern medicine), but are dying in office. Front-of-line blocking any action to course correct driving the ship onto the reef in a storm.
