Man-made horrors abound when a society views human life as expendable.
Twenty-five years ago, I told a friend that we would likely bear witness to the acceptance and even protection of several abhorrent social or political practices. That came true, but it didn’t stop there. We've witnessed a disturbing sea change in how we view these new social norms — norms at which we once shook our heads. How could I have predicted this? I simply recognized the downward trajectory of what used to be considered normal to surmise what could be next.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the social norms listed below were largely unacceptable; eventually the practices became mainstream through the strident promotion by activists and ineffective pushback by traditional institutions:
-Open homosexuality, coupled with the very public promotion of the lifestyle
-Gay Marriage
-Transgenderism
-Sex by consenting children with young adults
-Open Borders
-Anti-Capitalism
-The acceptance of recreational drug use as acceptable behavior
-Rampant crime and reduced punishment
-Society no longer requires work to live
-Single-parent constructs as equal to two-parent families
Take a moment to reread this list. Nothing surprises us anymore. History teaches us that radical social change usually ends badly, even for progressives. All of the above continues to have a significant stigma for many Americans. There is general agreement that promoting negative moral or societal values can and usually will have a deleterious effect on society. With no national debate, the redefinition of our country has almost been achieved.

The next great anti-leap for society is just around the corner and coming sooner than you might imagine. What do you think that might be?
Consider forced suicide of the old, sick, mentally impaired, or others who are voraciously consuming the resources meant for a youthful, Woke society?

Canada is already pushing euthanasia.
Ritualistic human sacrifice and cannibalism seem likely. They already do human sacrifice in the form of abortion, so they might skip that one. I guess “conservatism” or “small l liberalism” or whatever will oppose it by calling for capital gains tax cuts, privatizing Social Security, and saying we don’t care what they do as long as they aren’t doing it in our faces. Rinse and repeat.
Soylent Green - “It’s people!!!”
Canada just came out in favor of letting medical providers “euthanize” sick children without their parents’ consent. They’re not even talking just about old people anymore.
While there seems to be no overt push-back from Big Business, I don’t see how the SEC can demand ESG and DEI scoring be part of a business model. It will probably take a law to rein in the SEC on this, a bill that will never be signed into law by FJB.
Starting in Head Start, each student will be made to drop acid each day prior to checking which set of gonads they have and which set of pronouns they will be using that day.
“Ritualistic human sacrifice and cannibalism seem likely.”
Cannibalism is going to get real likely if they try to force us to eat bugs. I, for one, won’t be eating any bugs until we run out of leftists.
The problem with leftist long pork is that it tastes like failure.
secular humanism = permissive morality + restructuring of society to eliminate dogmatic restrictions and “outdated” institutions, in order to achieve a new world order = subjectivism + relativism = anything goes
Perhaps, but with enough spices and a good chef, you can make anything into a decent stew.
What is a cuter name for Communism?
Remember their slogan—”love makes a family”.
That means sex with pets, farm animals, children as well as polygamy could be on the table for the woke....
The problem is not that “anything goes”, it is that a small group of elites gets to decide what is allowed and what is forbidden, what gets incentives and what gets punished, what gets pushed or attacked by massive uniform propaganda.
Their choices may be insane but the biggest danger is that is their choices and not ours.
Very well stated.
It was basically a frame showing a tatted, pierced offensive looking gen x couple. With the caption, "What will the next generation do to offend this one?" The answer was in the following frame where their kid was a well-dressed, well-groomed Christian! Can only hope.
The ruling class is "saving the planet" for themselves. Only personal servants and those directly necessary for keeping them provided for will be allowed to live.
They’ve basically said as much on now blown up and hastily demolished Georgia Guidestones.
