I can't believe I am going to type this, and it's topic-adjacent, but here goes: I was doing errands recently, out and about. For reasons unknown, I saw people through new eyes. Maybe because of the holiday and places were busier. Anyway--I saw that almost everyone, especially under 30, was unattractive.

I don't mean not my taste, or didn't age well, or has weird features, or anything like that. I mean totally unattractive--dumpy, plain, and unfit. Slumped shoulders. Shapeless faces. Amorphous bodies. Bad posture. A lumbering walk. Awful formless childish clothing, and I am known to wear flannel house pants to the store.

I said to my husband, it's no wonder teens aren't having sex anymore--they're not physically attracted to each other. I'm not being funny, I'm dead serious. We evolved to seek fitness, and most young people do not give an appearance of fitness in any way.

Our food system is slowly poisoning us, testosterone levels have plummeted since the 1970s, and we are making ourselves physically sick. We know this. But we are making ourselves ugly too, and this has to be a small contributing factor to birth and marriage rates, and feelings of low worth, isolation, frustration, and aggression.

Yes, all the caveats--not all, there are lots of fit and attractive young people left, it's complicated, etc. But I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and the average American young person now would have been the comically fat kid--the single fat kid--in any given classroom. And it used to be low income people who looked that way. Now it's almost everyone.

This piece is the perfect use, of that Twilight Zone still.

As you know, from my past rants, I agree that we may not ever get "this back". And if we do, I think it will be 2-3 generations, unless a moral totalitarianism arises (which is quite possible - but would be problematic in different ways).

I honestly think the rapidly developing efforts to rebrand and mainstream the pedo's, might be what gets people off their asses and couches to fight what is already here.

On a scale of 1-10, I would say it's sailing right past 4. It would be much worse had the kackler and tampon tim been installed on Nov 5th.

However, the masses who are now learning to mentally block out and not see the sea of orcs, are dutifully shoving their heads in the warm, comforting sands, as quickly as possible - where the pedo agenda is concerned.

The reaction to grooming gangs in the U.K. or even the flaccid reaction to women and children being raped and killed here in the U.S., gives little hope, that people are taking any of it seriously. I honestly am not sure people would show up, in the millions, to protest this perversion/abuse, if there was a bowl game on or maybe drones showed up over a Disney property and gave a light show.

We've not hit rock bottom yet and while I think recovery can happen devoid of that, I doubt it'll be the case, where this societal apathy and intentional blindness is concerned.
