Jones talks about how the old regime at Twitter used explicit porn (I'm assuming ads) like pop-ups.
I knew a younger guy who would wear an "I heart camel toe" as a cool t shirt. Never liked him before. That confirmed it.
I'm older still. I never even liked Hustler. Penthouse was as far as I got. Not did I consider looking for porn on the net. If something came my way... that was different and that to me was what was so insidious about Twitter.
The tragedy of feminism, and in particular the current third (fourth?) wave feminism, is that it not only made men unhappier, it made women unhappier too. No one seems happy in the current zeitgeist, and the sexes are more apart than ever.
In an age of contraception without a religious imperative or an economic necessity, birth rates are going to drop. If we add to that, the Influencers promoting feminism, homosexuality, hedonism and the dysfunctional family, birthrates will drop even more. As you say, the proposed solution is for developed countries to encourage immigration from less developed ones. But as conservatives we will agree that cure is worse than the purported disease. But is it a disease, let alone a serious disease? Sure, it's a decline, but freed of the negative/fearful judgments, it could be something happening naturally, like old age.
So what if our population dwindles? Can't we prosper with a smaller economy? Do we need to keep growing in order to live comfortably? The age of mythological/archeological giants has passed. Excessive biological growth is not good for health. Why should that stage of a cycle be different for economics or demographics? A return to half the population size with the addition of our accumulated technology gains sounds like a recipe for a good life to me. And isn't that what the elite are plotting for themselves only to be accomplished in more drastic terms?
Yes, I don't think we need perpetual growth, so, going back to the population levels we had, say, 100 years ago, might in the end be a good thing. On the other hand, it is a bit concerning that the average population in most countries is getting older and older, with younger people having less and less children. This will have many social and economic repercussions too, many of which we don't even know yet, as I don't think this has happened before in human history, at least, not at this level.
Yeah, the younger folks are in a bind and the race will suffer because of it. Their mentality has been complicated in ways the other races haven't been so much. Japan notwithstanding.
Are you familiar w/ the incels? I'm just becoming aware of it as a culture not as a cult. I blame feminism for half of the trauma around sex habits. Pornography is the other half. I think normal sex relations have to be re-established before motherhood will become viable again.
I remember first hearing the F word used by pro-sex feminists, as in "I f'd him" or "wanted to F him". And thinking that's not right. Shouldn't you be saying I wanted him to F me? One can appreciate women have desire w/o endorsing their equality in role or agency. I think Christianity/Catholicism makes a mistake, takes celibacy too far, but feminism goes too far in opposite directions - femcels and ho's.
The "incel" phenomenon is basically the other side of feminism, but also a result of a lot of other issues, including social atomization, the digitalization of culture, and yes, the normalization of 24/7 hardcore pr0n. I'm old enough to have grown up before online pornography became mainstream. I think the damage pr0n did and still does, in particular to young men, is terrifying. It's really, really bad. It's not like, you know, erotic art books or old Playboy magazines, which weren't that bad. Now you can find basically anything, no matter how extreme, and for free, 24/7. And it's just accepted, even girls taking part in things like OnlyFans is becoming something socially acceptable. The other day I saw a guy with a Pr0nHub t-shirt, as if it was a cool brand. I haven't watched pr0n in ages, but I did for years when I was young, and I wish I could get all that wasted time back. In this case at least, I think E. Michael Jones is right, pornography is a mind weapon and is used as such. And yes, together with other things, it reduces the will to reproduce too.
Why prOn?

Do you not dislike feminism?
