How did Western Civilization go from the latter to the former?

women voting is part of the list of symptoms. we are more interested in fairness and kindness then justice. Now stop fighting boys kiss and make up. it is not nice to say the truth when truth hurts.

You can not have love for your fellow men without truth and justice. And that only happens when God and His laws come first.

Not the most Christian of attitudes, but I told my kids that being racist or hating some kid at school or whatever might be bad but it is easy to do sometimes. But as long as you are polite to everyone, that goes a long ways.

Yep - get rid of the family unit and you get rid of society and the government has to step in.

It worked with the blacks by putting them on welfare so the father didn’t need to stay.

Seen here on FR: “Tolerance is the virtue of believing in nothing’’.

Tolerance results in the new culture’s criminal class winning. Filter, filter, filter.

I accidentally mixed up "latter" and "former" at first, then corrected it in the comment.

I didn't notice.;-)

I just wanted to get in a comment blasting Marxism and that looked like a good opportunity.

Even though I wouldn’t say women voting is necessarily bad, the whole liberation and suffragette thing does look suspiciously like part of the campaign to break up family bonds.


I don’t think it started that way. But somewhere along the line, the Left figured out that it could co-opt the women’s vote by appealing to emotion over reason. The rest, as they say, is history.

I noticed very early that women make decision based on emotion, not logic or reason. For example, a woman will almost always be more likely to vote for a good looking man (this comes in up the 70s movie “The Candidate”); on the other hand, men will rarely vote for a woman because she is good looking (though...it never hurts). Also, when it comes to standards, women are very bad at enforcing them because telling someone NO seems mean and makes them feel bad.

Like I said in an earlier post, Leftists had the ephany early on that the way to co-opt the female vote was to appeal to emotion first & foremost. I am still not sure the Right has learned that lesson.

Note: I love women and have a lot of respect for many of them. So coming to this conclusion was not easy, but its hard to ignore a lifetime of observation.

I would bet a hundred bucks it did start that way, but that does not mean every early proponent had that in mind.

I just went back and looked at your original comment. I remember (now) seeing where you corrected it. I should have included that correction, but being in a hurry...

You think our society is tolerant? Try wearing a MAGA hat in any college town.

The problem isn’t with tolerance. The problem is with what society tolerates now that it didn’t before and what it doesn’t tolerate now. Parts of society anyway.

“Homosexuality was legalized.”

Why is homosexuality supposed to be tolerated because they were born that way but ADHD is supposed to be medicated even though they were born that way?
