If Only Our Tormentors Spoke Flyover
American Thinker ^ | 20 Apr, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Perhaps then our coming struggles could be avoided.

Society is a mess. Western civilizational collapse nears. On the bright side, though, politically incorrect underground humor is getting darkly hilarious. Case in point:

Boomers: I can't believe I wore bell-bottoms.

GEN X: I can't believe I wore my hair like that.

Millennials: I can't believe I was Goth.

GEN Z: I can't believe I cut my d--- off.

It's funny because it's true, right? Or perhaps it's sad because a percentage of America's youth would not only miss the joke, but also find it offensive. I would rather shock the occasional brainwashed adolescent back to his senses, though, than pretend that it is sane and reasonable to stand idly by while children choose castration over dress-up! Uff da.

Occasionally, some of our comment trolls will do one of those fake-exasperation digital shrugs and utter his/her/its belief that anybody not down with Marxist globalism is a dying fossil espousing irrelevance, and I think: "Dude, your generation is afraid of words, terrified of freedom, and can't tell boys from girls — that's not a recipe for survival!"

You know what never goes out of fashion — whether you're twenty-five or one hundred and five? Rugged individualism, unapologetic masculinity, take-no-s--- femininity, can-do spirit, and devotion to God. Wherever those admirable traits abound, prosperity and population growth do, too. Look back through history at the times now celebrated as filled with passionate intensity, intellectual explosion, artistic achievement, adventurous gusto, and untamable grit — nobody anywhere was obsessed with pronouns or cutting off his own...well, you know.

It's strange that the "demographics is destiny" folks who wish to "cleanse" the West are the same ones who find procreation so icky.

I think we are witnessing the collapse of Western Civilization. At least the transgenders will not be having children to crash efforts to recover.

The extreme tattoo people should be included somewhere in the middle.

Flares, and ankle boots. I admit it is a minor point.

The book, “The Death Of Common Sense” is a very good read.

We used to laugh at our Village Idiots. Now we elect them to the city council or the school board.

Or C.S. Lewis' "The Abolition of Man".

"The conditioners don't necessarily have to be bad men - they simply aren't men at all. And the first generation who are the objects of their conditioning aren't men, either. They are simply the subjects of the conditioners' conditioning. So man's final conquest of nature has proved to be the abolition of Man. "

Consider Obama, Ayers, The Annenberg Project in Chicago, and the swarms of "Trousered Apes" of all colors that roam the streets looking for an excuse to "Protest".

So much of fashion for young adults is about out doing the "shock factor" of previous generation.

Since full body tattoos are no longer unusual, body mutilation is the next progression, and "gender confirmation therapy" is its most extreme form.

You have to wonder what the following generation is going to do to shock Gen Z. There’s nowhere to go from here, but having your eardrums removed because hearing is racist.

An excellent essay, in many ways.

Sure there is. They become Conservative, God fearing patriots!

I think we should refer to them as colored people.
