It makes me think again about how the boy scouts were dismantled. Some child abusers got in, but better vigilance would weed them out. Then the demand to let girls in should have been shut down.
It was death by a thousand cuts but a good and long lived tradition was ruined and I don't know if it was extremely well planned or just an example of apathy and appeasement not standing firm and keeping the tradition alive.

I think it's more the latter than the former. Think of how little a role fathers play in society these days and how attacked young men are. The Boy Scouts were running out of scouts and scoutmasters through the war of attrition against their core members.

That's a big part of it, any positive male outlet is demonized.

This same process applies to societies and nations. That's why even if our countries get back on track, that alone doesn't guarantee that they'll stay on track.
What needs to happen, if somehow we pull up from this civilizational nose-dive, is every consecutive generation needs to be reminded of what can happen to society if they're not vigilant and discriminatory. Fortunately, that will be easier in our modern time since we can show them video proof.

This seems to be what happened/is happening to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy fandom. 25 years ago, going to a convention was a party, you'd see women in wench costumes and men in armor, and everyone had a good time because it was Fantasy. Last few I attended, it seemed that stuff was starting to get suppressed in favor of muh privilege, and it just wasn't fun anymore.

Conventions of all kinds got taken over. PAX went from banning booth babes to having panels on diversity bullshit. It was fairly alarming how fast the change went.

You're right, it was quite dizzying how fast stuff changed. Last one I attended was about 5 years ago, it was rather boring, and they didn't run the next year due to declining attendance. A 50 year-old event closed due to Whiny Wendy being unable to accept that some people like to dress up in medieval garb for a weekend and drink themselves stupid.

Reject the admiration and acceptance of the normie and you break the cycle.
Also, stop selling out to jews. Your business can and will grow organically. Some money isn't worth taking. Those "connections" always come with stipulations - some some or cucking on your principles.
