Trans Totalitarianism: Time For Moral Panic
American Conservative ^ | August 16, 2022 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 09/19/2022 12:21:23 AM PDT by gattaca

The phrase "moral panic" refers to a fear-driven mass overreaction to a phenomenon that is either false or minor. Witch hunts are the usual manifestation of a moral panic. There are no witches (well, technically not true, at least these days, but the witches didn't poison the well), so to freak out and persecute women because they might be a witch is a classic example of moral panic. The Satanic abuse craze of the 1990s is another. Again: a "moral panic" ensues when there is a mass freakout over something that doesn't exist, or is extremely minor and in no way justifies the size and intensity of the reaction....

Libs of TikTok has an important essay about the Left's attempts to sever the relationship between parents and children. This phenomenon is one of the clearest and most alarming examples of the totalitarian nature of the contemporary Leftist project. When I was researching Live Not By Lies, people who escaped Communism kept telling me that one of the characteristics of the totalitarian regimes they escaped was the State inserting itself between children and their parents. This is well known to historians, as a matter of fact. The theory was that the State is the true parent, and as such, needs to defend the rights of children against their parents, who are carriers of old, oppressive values. This was necessary to liberate children from the past, and from its evil values.

I remember first learning about this aspect of Communism many years ago, and thinking that this is one thing that would never, ever be accepted in America. People would go to the mat to defend their children, and the sacred relationship between parents and children. But now it's here. Here's LOTT:

People have been propagandized out of having a healthy reaction to a moral horror — the colonization of children’s minds and bodies — overtaking our society

It used to be, (it may still be in places), you couldn’t give a child an aspirin without the parents permission. Now you can castrate and cut off their breasts with impunity.

As I’ve said many times, we have become a very sick society.

The massive and continuing communist purge in the U.S. has been reaching into every single fiber of the Nations's culture, beliefs, and legal & political systems...

There have been absolutely no effective and sustained attempts (or even strategies & plans) to regain control of the Nation's destiny and restore lost freedoms and liberties once protected by the former Constitution...

The American people have devolved into a uniformly subservient class of serfs under this 90-year onslaught by the Marxist-Socialist-Fabian-Bolshevik-Trotskyite-Communist hegemony...

IMHO, had the Founding Fathers been alive between 1904 and 1920, when the early stages began, they would have put a stop to the Roosevelt-Wilson axis and hit the reset button...

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Excellent article that shows the public school system’s involvement with this atrocity occurring in our country.

“we have become a very sick society”

What is their final objective if not the society’s total destruction?

If you have to take pills or get surgeries, then you know that who you are is only artificially who you want to appear to be. It is little different from putting on a costume.

A culture that can't say, "This is wrong, we forbid it, you are fired," is a culture flushing itself down a toilet.

This is a dystopian American horror story that must be stopped before it is too late, and that may already be the case.

As is often the case, many conservative commentators are aiming at the wrong target, or just miss the point completely.

Moral degradation and “woke” politics in schools aren’t the real problem here. It’s dangerous to assume that everything would be just fine if parents were more comfortable with the moral/political climate in these schools.

The real issue here is that compulsory education laws have no place in a free nation. On that count, Americans surrendered without a fight more than a century ago when they decided it was perfectly acceptable for parents to hand over the upbringing and formation of their children to Caesar.

There’s no “fixing” the problem of moral decay in schools without forcing people to be responsible parents first.

That we have become a very sick society cannot be said often enough, and it might now be the sickest society on the planet!

They would fire a female teacher who displayed herself at work this way.

Well worth the time to read this long essay.

From the essay:
“... you don’t need to threaten people with the gulag when the schools, big business, the media, academia, medicine, law, the military, and everyone else are all on the same ideological page.”

The only solution is to go back to the fashion of pre 19th century Europe.

“The real issue here is that compulsory education laws have no place in a free nation.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have been preaching this since my first days on Free Republic. State-run, forced-attendance, and forced-funded schools are an abomination.

Behind every government teacher stands an armed police force. ( Real bullets in those guns on the hip!)

The problem: radical, forced transgenderism in the medical establishment.

The solution: Nuremberg 2.0.

PING!
