It seems like a mix of the PUA and Instagram subcultures in the West…
I still think the CCP can control it and reverse the trend…hopefully. It seems they went way too far in the Reform period.
This has always been my concern, it’s the same trap the Soviets were stuck in by pursuing socialism in one state. They’re competing with capitalist nations on capitalist terms and therefore need the luxury goods and consumerist lifestyle to keep citizens happy and willing to work on the national project, but at the same time these are corrupting influences that change the class characteristic of the future generations being raised under them. idk I’m just some internet weirdo
The level of materialist rot capitalism generates in people fills me with despair. Will these new bougie types willingly give up their parasitic wealth? They haven’t in the West or in any other developing country. In fact, I fear they will wholeheartedly go along with Western agencies to topple the CPC instead (if they can’t bring them down from within).
A lot of parents feed into this shit with unrealistic expectations and overloading kids with study so they don’t have any romantic experience until way too late.
The really shitty thing is that dating these days is a crapshoot just about everywhere. So many young people are disillusioned or just don’t have the time/energy. And really, there’s not much fundamental difference between “I want a man who wears an Omega” and “I want a man who’s 6"2’.”
I am curious has the redpill ever spread to china like the one where they think the patriarchy doesn’t exist , and women are oppressing them?
Western Red Pill shit doesn’t translate as well to most of the East Asian cultures because there’s a greater emphasis on settling down and getting married than just having a ton of anonymous sex.
Most Red Pill ideology is aimed at the latter and treats the former with contempt (“beta bux”).
