The drag queens’ dirty little secret: Their lack of talent is intentional

This is all part of the left’s deliberate effort to downgrade beauty and hope in the world.

Thanks to Libs of Tik Tok, we can all get glimpses of what passes for entertainment in the world of drag queens: strutting, writhing, and coyly obscene chit-chat as they crudely mock actual women. None of the performers whom Libs of TikTok highlights as they make exhibitionistic displays at schools, libraries, or “family friendly” events has any discernable talent—and that’s actually important. A significant part of leftism is to destroy aspirational beauty and is about getting us used to the brutalist ugliness of the world here and now.

The Judeo-Christian religions are aspirational. They urge us to a higher level of conduct because we have embraced a Being greater than ourselves, one who sees inside our souls and judges us for who we truly are. In that divine court, you put your best foot forward. This is why they so often achieve great things.

Whenever you walk into a pre-modern church or stare at a pre-modern painting depicting a religious subject, you are seeing the artists and craftsmen putting their best efforts into creating something of beauty. They are celebrating the uplifting of their soul and attempting to put into tangible form the glory of the divine. Even during the squalor of the medieval era (filthy, violent, and filled with pain), medieval men built cathedrals of dazzling, overwhelming beauty.

That’s not leftism. Leftism is secular. Spiritual uplift is forbidden. The whole point of leftism is to get people to embrace ugliness.

We live in a world that, thanks to modern technology, can be clean and shiny, but we’re encouraged to embrace filth, squalor, despair, pain, and violence.

I saw a biography on Divine. Glenn Milstead (his real name) was proud of being a man. In fact Milstead considered Divine to be an act, not who he was. And as far as I could tell, Milstead wasn't into children nor did he want to PERFORM for children.

Perhaps oddly, my go-to quote and guy on this subject is Divine's director, John Waters. To wit

Have you ever done drag? I was only in drag once, and that was as the Wicked Witch at a birthday party when I was 8 years old. That ended my drag career. You have to be so careful of what you say. My friend told me this story, “You know, every gay man once tried on their mother’s shoes.” You did it once; you never did it again. But now, if you have a very liberal mother and they catch you, you have sexual reassignment lessons at 8 years old. And you might not really wanna do that.

The whole point of ugliness is to bridge the gap between beautiful people and ugly people.

The points of those five horns describe an upside-down five pointed star or pentagram. Deliberately satanic.

John Waters is a smart guy. He’s not quite “normal” but he’s not a total weirdo. He’s just different.

Only perverts want to talk to some else’s children about sex.

I recently heard the term “woman face” used in connection with drag queens, equating it with disparagement of woman, much like “black face”. Yet somehow, this twisted culture embraces the disparagement and mockery of women as being perfectly fine.

Glen Milstead said it all (I tracked down the quote so I could get it right): "My favorite part of dressing in drag is getting out of it. Drag is my work clothes. I only put it on when someone pays me to."

Compare/Contrast with what these others are doing and their motivations to get a clearer pic of what's going on.

I’m old enough to remember when adults trying to do this crap with kids spent many years in prison.

I wonder how many kids have nightmares from being read to by that demonic attired, and fueled, entity.

It's not just leftists who embrace brutalist ugliness. Last night, I attended a midnight Christmas service at a church that is part of an evangelical denomination that many conservative activists belong to. Although the pastor's message was uplifting, I found the "praise" music that they performed to be all but unlistenable. Traditional Christmas songs such as "Silent Night," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" do not lend themselves very well to a rock beat.

And real women do NOT dress nor act like that.

The claim they are trying to be women falls really flat when you look at reality, which is, you do not see women who look like that.

Right. They are not trying to “be” women. Most if not all of them probably harbor a significant amount of contempt for women. This whole Local Library Drag Queen Story Hour thing is a brutal and stultifying demonic attack on our society.

What’s the difference with that and folks dressing up in blackface?

In reality?

Nothing.

In unreality?

There’s a big difference, and if you don’t know that, then you are a big part of the problem.

"A significant part of leftism is to destroy aspirational beauty and is about getting us used to the brutalist ugliness of the world here and now."

I was in a fast-food restaurant earlier today, and the music was a live show from a local (Seattle) radio station, i.e., it was not some form of "Muzak."

I was struck - once again - by the banality, repetition, and lack of beauty in most of today's music. The music is mostly percussive, with no melody at all, virtually no structure or narrative, sparse instrumentation, and either a sing-song repetition of insipid lyrics or a rap-like aggressive insolence.

Some of us old-timers spend a few afternoons a week in the local bar, and we enjoy playing the jukebox. We play a wide variety of music: big band music, rock and pop music from the 50s through about 2010 (or even later), country, blues, and some jazz. We play very little heavy metal and virtually no rap or hip-hop, except maybe as a joke. It is common for non-regulars to comment on how much they enjoy the music, even thank us for it. Even younger people say that the older music is way better than most of what is coming out now.
