Marriage Didn’t Die—It Was Executed by the Matrix.
<p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Let me let you in on a secret.</p><p><br></p><p>Marriage didn’t collapse.</p><p><br></p><p>It was murdered.</p><p><br></p><p>Not in the heat of passion—but through cold, calculated decisions by people far richer than you, far greedier than you, and far more organized than you think.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn’t a coincidence. It’s architecture.</p><p><br></p><p>And if you think this modern madness is random?</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to the Matrix.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>1. Feminism Wasn’t Liberation—It Was Labor Expansion</p><p><br></p><p>They told women to chase freedom.</p><p><br></p><p>But behind the scenes? It was all about supply and demand.</p><p><br></p><p>More women in the workforce meant more competition for jobs.</p><p><br></p><p>More competition meant lower wages.</p><p><br></p><p>Lower wages meant both husband and wife now have to work.</p><p><br></p><p>They didn’t free the modern woman. They trapped the modern family.</p><p><br></p><p>And now?</p><p><br></p><p>Your kids are being raised by iPads, cartoons, and classroom ideologies instead of by you.</p><p><br></p><p>Mission accomplished.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>2. Divorce Became a Business Model</p><p><br></p><p>They didn’t just make divorce legal—they made it profitable.</p><p><br></p><p>No-fault divorce.</p><p><br></p><p>Alimony on autopilot.</p><p><br></p><p>Courts that reward the one who leaves.</p><p><br></p><p>Suddenly, marriage isn’t a covenant—it’s a contract with a lucrative exit clause.</p><p><br></p><p>And guess who benefits when the family collapses?</p><p><br></p><p>– Therapists – Pharmaceutical companies – Court systems – Content creators selling trauma as brand identity</p><p><br></p><p>The nuclear family was competition. So they nuked it.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>3. Dysfunction Was Packaged as “Freedom” and Sold on Repeat</p><p><br></p><p>You think it’s random that billionaires divorce after raising their kids?</p><p><br></p><p>It’s branding.</p><p><br></p><p>They normalize broken homes, rebrand chaos as “growth,” and glamorize disconnection.</p><p><br></p><p>Meanwhile, they retire into gated estates with five lawyers and a prenup.</p><p><br></p><p>They sell you vibes while building empires behind the scenes.</p><p><br></p><p>You’re watching the highlight reel of people who already secured their legacy—while sacrificing yours in the name of “individuality.”</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>4. They Poisoned the Family—Then Sold You the Antidote</p><p><br></p><p>No father. No vision. No culture. No code.</p><p><br></p><p>Result?</p><p><br></p><p>– Anxious sons on antidepressants. </p><p>– Lonely daughters in content farms. </p><p>– Parents too tired to care.</p><p><br></p><p>But don’t worry…</p><p><br></p><p>Big Pharma has pills. Big Tech has distractions. And OnlyFans has validation.</p><p><br></p><p>Every emotional void becomes a new subscription plan.</p><p><br></p><p>Your dysfunction is profitable.</p><p><br></p><p>And the longer you stay confused?</p><p><br></p><p>The longer they stay rich.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>5. The Death of the Father Figure Gave Birth to Gender Confusion</p><p><br></p><p>Fathers were the anchors.</p><p><br></p><p>Now? They’re jokes in sitcoms. Bank accounts with shoes.</p><p><br></p><p>With no strong father:</p><p><br></p><p>– Boys wear makeup, not discipline. – Girls develop walls, not standards. – And everyone is raising themselves off algorithms.</p><p><br></p><p>When the house lacks a lion, don’t be surprised when the sheep grow fangs.</p><p><br></p><p>And with no family order, chaos becomes identity.</p><p><br></p><p>Now we’ve got kids who think they’re cats. And adults who can’t define man or woman.</p><p><br></p><p>Modern butchery.</p><p><br></p><p>Engineered confusion.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>6. Dysfunctional Homes Create Underachieving Adults</p><p><br></p><p>Broken homes produce broken self-esteem.</p><p><br></p><p>That leads to:</p><p><br></p><p>– Lower ambition – Deeper emotional instability – Higher susceptibility to addiction</p><p><br></p><p>And when your roots are chaos?</p><p><br></p><p>You never climb high enough to leave poverty behind.</p><p><br></p><p>That’s the plan.</p><p><br></p><p>Raise the children in dysfunction. So they become adults who:</p><p><br></p><p>– Overconsume – Self-medicate – Stay obedient</p><p><br></p><p>You’re not failing by accident.</p><p><br></p><p>You were orphaned by design.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>7. Religion Was Replaced With Romantic Delusion</p><p><br></p><p>Once upon a time, people feared God and honored vows.</p><p><br></p><p>Now? Marriage is “just paperwork.”</p><p><br></p><p>Feelings replaced principles.</p><p><br></p><p>Emotion replaced structure.</p><p><br></p><p>And when emotions fade?</p><p><br></p><p>So does the commitment.</p><p><br></p><p>We swapped covenant for comfort—and wonder why nothing holds.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>8. You’re Not Meant to Escape—You’re Meant to Scroll and Obey</p><p><br></p><p>When family dies, community dies.</p><p><br></p><p>When community dies, culture dies.</p><p><br></p><p>And when culture dies?</p><p><br></p><p>Corporations step in to become your new parents.</p><p><br></p><p>The screen becomes your pastor.</p><p><br></p><p>The government becomes your daddy.</p><p><br></p><p>And your wallet becomes their mission field.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>9. Hollywood Didn’t Evolve—It Was Recruited</p><p><br></p><p>They didn’t just kill marriage in policy—they assassinated it on screen.</p><p><br></p><p>Every show, every film, every ad?</p><p><br></p><p>Now stars a divorced hero, a deadbeat dad, a broken home, or a “strong independent” woman raising kids on sass and sarcasm.</p><p><br></p><p>And it gets darker…</p><p><br></p><p>Every series now needs a gay romance, a trans subplot, and a token man who’s either stupid, spineless, or dead.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s not inclusion. It’s indoctrination.</p><p><br></p><p>They rewrote the script of family.</p><p><br></p><p>They turned fathers into punchlines, mothers into martyrs, and perversion into progress.</p><p><br></p><p>And now?</p><p><br></p><p>They’re floating rumors of a female James Bond.</p><p><br></p><p>Because nothing says equality like erasing the last icons of masculinity.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn’t about love. It’s about control.</p><p><br></p><p>Hollywood got paid. And now they’re paid to play you.</p><p><br></p><p>—</p><p><br></p><p>You Weren’t Broken—You Were Sabotaged</p><p><br></p><p>They didn’t just kill marriage.</p><p><br></p><p>They killed legacy.</p><p><br></p><p>They killed order.</p><p><br></p><p>They killed the blueprint that allowed poor people to rise.</p><p><br></p><p>Now we’re all:</p><p><br></p><p>– Hooked on dopamine – Distracted by drama – Addicted to escape</p><p><br></p><p>But if you see the game?</p><p><br></p><p>If you can unplug?</p><p><br></p><p>If you can find one other person as awake, intentional, and vision-driven as you?</p><p><br></p><p>You can rebuild it.</p><p><br></p><p>You can beat the system.</p><p><br></p><p>But it won’t come by vibes.</p><p><br></p><p>It’ll take war-level awareness and warrior-level discipline.</p><p><br></p><p>Because this isn’t romance anymore.</p><p><br></p><p>This is resistance. </p><p>let's learn..</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

Engagement Score
The All-time Engagers ranking is based on a user's Engagement Score — a measure of how much a
user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.
1
A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
