He was writing, In highly fictionalized form, about the Soviets. He wasn't predicting the future, he was writing about contemporaneous events. 1984 = 1948. Get it? That said, some things never change.

I mean, he was right about women being the easiest to indoctrinate and turn into screaming hysterical morons

Because he had seen it happen. It never worked on me, but I'm a weirdo. I think because I always had strong men in my life, my dad and my friends. No one coddled me. They just told me to get back on my bike and hurry the fuck up. And some of it is modern culture. There are plenty of weak, hysterical men these days too. Because it is encouraged. It's a real turn off and they're everywhere.

Yup somehow “acknowledging mental health issues in young men” (which is a good thing tbh) became a free ride to be a fucking soy boy nut.

Cultural Marixsm targets women because bad women make bad men.

That implies men are even weaker than women, to be led so easily.

Ideology seeps into PEOPLE, sex is irrelevant.

What's really fucked is all the "poly" couples out there. Hey we're partnered, but we cheat on each other all the time. That's literally the most depressing thing I've seen in my life. Sure there used to be that sort of thing in the 70's but it makes me so sad for young people, it's so depressing.

Swingers and swappers in the 1970s were partnered but bored or thrill seeking. The ones now only have the illusion of being partnered. They can tell the world, and more importantly themselves, that they are desirable to someone. But the truth is obvious. And sad.

They are biologically wired to immediately adjust views to who they think has power. It's a survival response formed over hundreds of thousands of years. You flip social media and Hollywood to suddenly push right wing material and they'd be supporting that in a couple weeks.

When conquered they wanted to make sure they can get in on the new meat that defeated their countrymen. The bad boys.

More like “let me conform so I’ll be accepted and not outcasted or killed”

Ie. Dutch, French, Polish women in occupied Germany, and eventually German women after WWII. To the victor go the spoils.

Rush Limbaugh has talked about this. He's said that he's seen it happen in person: parents send their daughter off to college, and when she comes back home she's been radicalized. Her parents are too afraid to argue with her. And in the end the daughter ends up indoctrinating her parents. Rush said it's happened to a few friends of his.

He was recognizing the trends and patterns that lead to the phenomenon we know as socialism. If you read atlas shrugged it has very similar plot lines, because Cultural phenomenons are often caused by similar cultural and economic factors, they may have different names throughout history but the patterns remain similar. For example women tend to be the cause and proponents of hysteria throughout history, largly due to their group approval mentality, see our modern mask Karen. There is an excellent book on this called "the fate of empires" by sir john glubb, it's fairly short I highly recommend it. Here's a free PDF https://www.docdroid.net/5CdrehR/the-fate-of-empires-by-sir-john-glubb-pdf
