What Do 'Men Give Birth' and 'Defund the Police' Have in Common?
Townhall ^ | 06/21/2022 | Dennis Prager

Unless you are brainwashed, you regard the statements "men give birth" and "defund the police" as absurd.

Why, then, do leftists (as opposed to liberals and conservatives) say these things and even believe them?

I think there are two -- related -- explanations.

One is that the Left seeks to tear down every normative institution. If men give birth, "man" and "woman" no longer mean anything. "Men give birth" means the end of the male-female distinction, the most basic distinction in the human race. Racial distinctions pale in comparison. So do national distinctions.

Marxists support the obliteration of the male-female distinction because the only distinction that matters to Marxists is that of class.

The other explanation is that the endgame of leftism is chaos. It is related to the first explanation, since the obliteration of all distinctions is chaos. Distinctions mean order. Having no distinctions means chaos.

I came to realize the significance of distinctions when writing my commentary on the first five books of the Bible ("The Rational Bible"). The Bible's moral order is dependent on distinctions. Among them are:

Man and God

Good and evil

Human and animal

Holy and profane

Parent and child

Man and woman

Beautiful and ugly

Distinctions are so important to the Judeo-Christian moral order and weltanschauung that making distinctions is what God did for the Six Days. While they are known as the Six Days of Creation, the fact is that after creating the "heavens and the earth," God does little creating. After Genesis 1:1 the only things God creates are the animals listed in 1:21 and the human being (1:27).

So, then, what did God do for the remainder of the Six Days? He created order out of chaos.

That's why the second verse of Genesis may well be the second-most important verse in the Bible (Genesis 1:1 is the most important because if you don't accept its premise, none of what follows matters): "And all was null and void," meaning all was chaos.

Chaos is the natural state of the world. The transformation of chaos into order necessitated God.

Order is composed of distinctions. Natural order was dependent on the distinction between night and day and land and sea, and moral and social order was dependent upon the distinctions listed above. And while they are all dependent upon God, the Bible describes only one of them as "created" by God -- the human being as male and female.

The Left seeks to obliterate these biblical distinctions:

The Left denies the distinction between man and God. As Marx said, "Man is God." The idea that there is a transcendent Being to which man owes moral obedience is anathema to the Left. Man is to answer only to himself (and ultimately to a left-wing state).

The Left denies the distinction between good and evil. On the Left, there is no objective morality. Good and evil are subjective, determined by the individual and the community.

The Left denies the distinction between human and animal. According to the largest animal rights organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), for example, there is no moral difference between a chicken and a human being. They are equally valuable -- so much so that, according to PETA, there is no moral difference between a barbecued chicken in America and a cremated Jew in the Holocaust.

The Left denies the difference between the beautiful and the ugly in art. That explains the ugly music and architecture and the meaningless art the art world, led by the Left, has produced for a century.

And now the Left denies the difference between man and woman.

What is this all about? It is all about rejecting the divine order which made civilization possible and returning to chaos. That why "men give birth" is related to "defund the police." Both lead to chaos.

If you ask those who claim that men give birth or who seek to defund the police, "Do you believe in chaos?" most won't know what you're talking about. On a conscious level, chaos is not what the Left seeks.

But it is what the Left creates. The war against Western civilization is a war against distinctions and order. That's why the Left loathes talk about Judeo-Christian and biblical values. These values represent the divine moral and social distinctions and subsequent order that constitute Western civilization.

That's why "men give birth" and "defund the police" are related. Both represent disorder.

Frankly I don’t believed that there’s anything to be gained in trying to understand the motives of the insane. They are insane by definition. Trying to approach them rationally is a waste of time.

As a side note, this process has already taken place within Marxism itself. Prager correctly points out that class is all that matters to Marxists, but that was specifically and exclusively economic class for Marx himself, who furiously resisted the expansion into other categories because he knew what it would do to his theories, and it has. Now we have, or had, sexual classes for feminists, racial classes for racists, ethnic and tribal and species and even whether the individual buys into various cult followings such as environmentalism - none of those were ever economic classes and now they are social classes, at least until they themselves evaporate as feminist sexual dimorphism has under the assault of the trans movement and any single category has under the assault of the intersectionalists. Call it a social Second Law of Thermodynamics. It’s all chaos now, fueled by clever Marxian techniques of whipping up class envy and hatred that still work very well even if the classes they’re applied to are evanescent. The currency is simply power. Society is breaking down as intended but nothing is coming afterward except artificial authoritarian order because it’s better than dying at random. The authoritarians will benefit for as long as they last, but they too are subject to the same chaotic assault that put them into place. This isn’t far-flung theory, I’m describing the 20th century and maybe every one that preceded it.

You can add elephants are human to men give birth insanity.

Quote from yesterday’s Wall Street Journal commentary about the NYS Supreme Court recent denial of petitioner Nonhuman Rights Project’s application to have elephants declared human:

“...Happy the elephant at the Bronx Zoo, was rebuffed in a 5-2 decision by the New York State Court of Appeals. For now, an elephant is an elephant, not a person, though elephants are clearly smarter than two dissenting New York state judges and the humans at the Nonhuman Rights Project.”

The U of Penn women’s swim team can now rest easy knowing that transelephant Happy won’t be showing up for a spot on the team any time soon. Poor thangs. What, with the gender confused, genderless, transspecies, transelephants, plant based Jabba the Hut type beings, each with their own set of pronouns, and each clutching freshly issued judicial decisions from California declaring their humanity as teenage women. potentially vying for a spot on the U of Penn women’s swim team, the team will look more like a Star Wars bar with flippers than a women’s swim team.

For information:

Jane’s Revenge, the extremist pro-abortion terror group claiming responsibility for recent attacks on pregnancy crisis centers, does not refer to women in its most recent threat propaganda. Rather, they are “persons who can get pregnant.”

So, despite being 99.99% of the population under discussion, the term “woman/women” must be disparaged because of the 0.01% (if that many) who are trans-men.

Assuming that it eventually happens, the day when the worm turns should be very interesting.
