He was never a "super based" "right wing bro" or anything - he's a quintessential cowgod Engineer guy. But he was always reasonably masculine, logical, practical, libertarian-leaning, typical white guy with 130+ IQ (he's pretty smart, and very successful in his professional field)

He has morphed into more or less a typical normie lib NPC. Really worked up on lib media faux-issues, upset about Trump (???), and most noteworthy has become totally "beta" in his worldview. Incredibly focused on "safety" in all contexts. Weirdly aggressively dismissive of any unorthodox opinions and views in the same sort of inappropriately self-righteous way that urbanite libs are, even on topics he doesn't know anything about

I've run into the same phenomenon with several guys I've known in my life: after they've gotten married and had kids, they've warped into a normie lib NPC beta. Some worse than others. But it's a complete psychological, almost spiritual shift in orientation, not some kind of limited "political views" thing

I'm familiar with The Science on men's T levels collapsing post-kids, but I feel like this can't possibly be a comprehensive explanation. It really feels like their whole psychological and spiritual mindset shifts to an orientation where they are unconsciously trying to be as normie and "safe" as possible to socially fit in and thus protect their wife and kids. Like some kind of animal that sheds its previous existence as an individual male actor in the world in favor of becoming a eusocial insect under the protection of the hive

I dunno. It's really weird and striking. And I've pretty much lost all respect for him. He's just not an interesting or "real" person anymore, and people who are not interesting and have no character of their own are not people

With this backdrop and the stresses of life as you reach 40 men just go into auto pilot at some point.

It’s not a behavioral program, it’s a way of being

2. this kind of change really isn't a partisan "politics" thing. i may not have explained it very well in my post, but for example, this individual in particular still strongly *sees himself* as a "conservative" guy and he lives in a very "conservative" area of the country. the change has been to his fundamental capital n Nature. this does line up with him (unconsciously?) beginning to toe the normielib party line on various things, but i believe that's downstream from the fundamental psychological and spiritual shift that's occurring first and separately

also remember that what you're describing in OP is a totally subjective judgment which certain people are primed to believe is true and certain people are primed to believe is false so ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

i mean, ok bro, lol. the complete change in demeanor, personality, speech and physiological patterns, etc is impossible to deny. i'm a smart guy i'm not imagining this. and from the looks of this thread i'm not alone

in other words, we as humans are very susceptible to tossing out inconvenient data points etc, when we make these kinds of informal estimations.

Actually I think guys like this are in fact going through a real transformation into cucked betatude and it’s as simple as that. Why and how is another question, but it’s definitely real

He's not the only one but def the worst

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5526951&forum_id=2#47650574)

he's like not even sentient anymore -- literally no autonomy, agency or free will/volition

my sister-in-law turned him into a spineless cuck king that just bobbles his head like a cucked out bobblehead during seasonal family outings or thanksgiving (or rather, when my sister-in-law allows him because her "social life" is basically a black hole)

When you’re a feeble weak screencucked dork with a fugly wife, you enter turbo cope mode where your brain is desperately searching for a justification for why the way you are is actually good and desirable

consensus is a mix of it's due to the wife and the guy was always intrinsically a beta loser but it took a while to come to the surface
