At the height of the French Terror, Maximillian Robespierre recommended that in the name of equality all church steeples be demolished. The reason? They towered over other buildings and thus signified conflict with the principles of equality.
For the Left, destruction is always the means for achieving “equality.” The inexorable logic of leveling differentiations, be they institutional or in nature itself, has now reached the level of insanity.
Today’s revolutionaries have taken the principle of destruction of hierarchies, including religious hierarchies, even further than the most ardent advocates of the Terror. In the name of liberty, equality, and fraternity, they have pronounced Nature itself, including the biological distinction between men and women, as inherently unjust.
As the collective “Laboria Cuboniks” posted on Twitter, “If nature is unjust, change nature.”
The annihilation of Nature itself, including the abolition of gender is a goal: “XF is vehemently anti-naturalist. Essentialist naturalism reeks of theology -- the sooner it is exorcised, the better.”
The view of nature as unjust is a succinct description of the neo-gnostic, secularist ideology that is foundational to the transgender wing currently driving the LGBTQ+ movement.
The neo-gnostics see the material world, including the binary of male and female as inherently evil and oppressive. Sexual identity as given at birth can be reformulated by individual and collective will.

It really is remarkable how similar today’s radicals are to the radicals of the French Revolution. They are at war with civilization itself.
You can’t get rid of gender...It’s all in the “Y”.

Philanthropic Tyranny
“ROBESPIERRE: The function of government is to direct the physical and moral powers of the nation toward the end for which the commonwealth has come into being.”
Dictatorial Arrogance
At what a tremendous height above the rest of mankind does Robespierre here place himself! And note the arrogance with which he speaks. He is not content to pray for a great reawakening of the human spirit. Nor does he expect such a result from a well-ordered government. No, he himself will remake mankind, and by means of terror.

Civilization
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.
Ayn Rand
FTA - Here is the money quote. Everybody wants to be more than just the pathetic, weak biological creatures that we are. They want to be like gods. That's part of why super hero movies are so popular. It's part of why Christianity has waned - nobody wants to worship God; everybody wants to BE God. And you wonder where they got the idea that they can be like gods? I'll leave you with this quote.
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
WOW.. Just yesterday I was studying historic photos of my town’s architecture.. The common theme throughout was steeples Not being replaced during renovations. I just chalked it up to them being beyond repair.
It bothered me how lacking in character the buildings and churches were afterwards.
Thanks. the good, the bad, the ugly, the evil, the super evil the under informed.

It’s almost like they’re trying to start a civil/uncivil war or something.
