The Perils of Politeness in an Era of Activism

Our Canadian brothers and sisters to the north are known universally for maple syrup, hockey, and an unwavering politeness. But what used to be an endearing quality common to the peoples of the great North is now proving to be their cultural undoing. The same can be said for our easygoing Aussie counterparts. Until recently, we were all under the impression that Australians were just a sort of crazier version of Americans. Similar in temperament and values and most notably in their love of freedom. But just look at what has happened to their country in an incredibly short period of time.

The western world is currently engaged in a very real struggle, with the majority of generally good people on one side and a small number of perpetually offended activists and their trained student contingent on the other. We in the majority would like nothing more than to be left alone. We do not wish to harm or offend anyone, but we have arrived at a moment in our cultural evolution where our very existence is the offense. We are not allowed to exist in the world envisioned by these ignorant, moralizing children and at the core of all their scattered and incoherent ideology is the authoritarian fist of a bully.

They have pushed us around for decades and we have meekly submitted to their increasingly bizarre worldview, naively believing that they would someday grow out of their youthful angst. The difference here is that these people have gone beyond the Frankfurt School’s dream of infiltrating the institutions and have now bullied their way into every aspect of our world.

from the article

I am not advocating for violence or even for a more heated debate. All I am saying is that we must stop being afraid to speak the truth. Words are not violence. That idea is one that people who cannot debate the merits of their own positions use to shut down civil discourse. We cannot destroy free speech in order to accommodate the fragile emotions of a small number of misguided children who do not understand and cannot articulate what they claim to believe.

This cowardice must end. We must speak up today. Try this — say one true thing. Don’t be cruel, don’t try to pick a fight; just say out loud one true thing. Remember courage is contagious, truth is objective, and reality, in the end, will always win. We are on the side of truth; they are at best woefully misguided. We see value in the physical and cultural structures of our world; they are engaged on multiple fronts in the intentional destruction of western civilization. We are right and they are wrong. Let’s stop being so damn polite about it.

***This aligns with what I’ve been saying. Jesus wasn’t very polite when He denigrated false teachers as vipers, unmarked tombs, sons of Satan. Too many people conflate politeness with christianity. It aint so. What we need is a less harsh way to say, even in church, STFU and Bullshiite to those who are running harmful agendas.

The truth: Men cannot become women and women cannot become men. You can chop up and drug your one and only healthy body, but the DNA does not change.

I wonder what the long term effects on health are going to be for all these “trans” people. What they do to their bodies cannot be good for their health or longevity.
