I watched some of her videos on Newpipe, where it seems like Freya India is an EXTREMELY popular men among older conservative men that want women to get married and start bearing children (preferably Christian children).

I appreciate that she sees the rot in modern culture, but I think she's mistaken when she associates it with "the left" and her prescription of returning to the status quo ante of traditional gender roles isn't going to fly with most people.

Time for my daily Britt Hartley mention. Remember that scene in Platoon when the new recruits pass the returning veterans on the runway? Well, Britt Hartley is the returning veteran to Freya India's new recruit. Britt was raised very mormon and inculcated in traditional gender roles and struggled to escape.

Some of Brtitt's videos that might be part of this conversation are the one about why women want to become tradwives. I hear Freya validate a lot of what Britt says for she mentions anxiety as a big motivation for her to return to traditional values. Britt's whole thing is analyzing existential anxiety, and, yeah, the modern age is rife with it, and returning to traditional values is one antidote (though it comes at a cost, obviously).

But, again, I do appreciate anyone that might validate what I think the core truth of our age is: "Being well in a profoundly sick society is no sign of health."

Feel free to link Freya's video, the one you're talking about, and ignore the downvotes. Thanks for sharing.
