There is a complimentary social phenomenon that goes with defining deviancy down. As part of the vast social project of moral leveling, it is not enough for the deviant to be normalized, the normal must be found to be deviant. Large areas of ordinary behavior hitherto considered benign have had their threshold radically redefined up, so that once-innocent behavior now stands condemned as deviant. Normal middle-class life then stands exposed as the true home of violence, abuse, misogyny, a whole category of deviant acting and thinking.
True. To even think that queers getting married is anathema is grounds for being shunned and ostracized by society today.
“or, as the Robert Heinlein title put it, strangers in a strange land.”
Does the author not know that term Pre-dates Heinlein’s use by thousands of years?
It all started when Bill Clinton’s tawdry affair with Monica Lewinsky and subsequent perjury was dismissed by the main stream media. Once you can ignore things that most Americans still find disgusting or trivialize them it was a slippery slope to now where obvious criminal acts by politicians are ignored or completely glossed over. Many Americans are clueless about Hillary’s corruption or just dismiss it as a “Republican attack”. However there is a double standard and any GOP politician could expect to be pilloried by the press for doing even half of what Hillary has done with impunity.
Same phenomenon in politics. Pro-drugs and anti-law enforcement are now claimed to be conservative positions. I don’t see the connection with conservatism but people assure me that it’s there.
This is the inevitable effect of statism with its force and aggression.Force is the antithesis of the mind, truth,virtues, and values.The conflict between force and the mind causes the mind to become morally impotent.Life becomes unendurable and unbearable.The only way to escape is for the masses to nullify the mind and become mindless. They become the living dead who lose the ability to know what is good and right and the ability to care.Then they become the victims of mind control by the rulers.
“new” s/b “knew”
I disagree. I personally believe the corruption of American society began with World War Two when patriotic men went off to defend their country from Germany and Japan. This meant that the mentally unsound, the homosexuals, the communists, and other types who were unfit to wear their nation’s uniform were left behind to teach in the public schools and universities. After the war ended these people were tenured and then retained control of public education and the fruit of their degeneracy was found in the 1960’s generation that hated all things American, that hated God, that hated freedom, and that loved everything the Bible called evil.
In World War Two this country may have prevailed against Hitler and Tojo but we lost to Satan.
I think the article understates the problem.
A video about Marxists infiltration and subversion of America and a key entity, The Frankfurt School (= Columbia U.). Long but very historically enlightening. Source of sensitity training and concensus building.

Diversity is the destruction of Good
>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<
...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except ones own family.
Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.
Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterdays Diversity is todays intolerable lack of Diversity.
Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.
Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.
When you find yourself “at sea” in a deviant culture, you have to recognize it first and foremost.
Once you recognize it, then you know what to do. Build your own tribe. Build the culture you want to live in. Build the institutions you want to use. Create the music and arts, create the physical world you want to live in.
Shut off the paths by which the deviant culture gets access to you and yours. Replace them with your own. Do this with enough panache and you will find people beating a path to your door, some to shut you down, others to emulate you or buy your products.
The tough part of this is that “THEY” are not content to leave ‘us’ alone...
Not if you read the bible a lot. It's always been a "wilderness" out there.
The first thing that hit me was that the author stated that the quote “Stranger in a strange land” was from Heinlein.
It is not. It is from the KJ version of the bible. (Ex 2:22)
and the Heinlein novel with this name was made reality by the numerous murderous gurus, especially Charles Manson.
I like Heinlein for many reasons, but some of his later novels are...could I say it plainly? Tainted with evil.
That aside, I agree with the author.
