We are immigrants from South Africa and became Aus citizens in 2012.

My instinct is that the genuinely traditionalist side is vanishingly small, but perhaps you're seeing things that I haven't seen so may be wrong. You say it's on social media where you see it, do you mean just regular people or 'influencers'?ClownWorldAUhttps://www.clownworldau.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-20667836465194605402020-07-03T09:39:41.567+10:002020-07-03T09:39:41.567+10:00Anonymous, thank you.

Perhaps this comes from the idea of progress - that if the forces of history are moving inexorably toward progress then whatever is new must somehow be more advanced or prestigious. Or perhaps it is related to the idea that it is heroic to be transgressive, which makes sense if you believe that older social norms and standards are oppressive fetters on individual liberty - if you believe this then the person who transgresses those norms also has prestige.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-83687641772300621772020-07-02T21:08:51.661+10:002020-07-02T21:08:51.661+10:00A very impressive attempt to summarise the anti-tr...A very impressive attempt to summarise the anti-traditional forces. What about iconoclasticism (the desire by many people now to simply overturn accepted logical ideas for the prestige of appearing clever, interesting, surprising) ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
