Some Crazy Ideas Are Deadly Serious
Wall Street Journal ^ | March 27, 2023 | J. Budziszewsk

Saying men can get pregnant is ridiculous. Pumping kids full of hormones is wicked.

When I tell nonacademic friends some of the things about race and sex that are commonly taught in universities today, many respond with either disbelief or giggles. You can’t be serious. Nobody can possibly believe that men can get pregnant or that Lincoln was in favor of slavery!

Since I agree these are crackpot ideas, perhaps I shouldn’t carp. But when people in politics, scholarship, punditry and everyday life treat “culture wars” as unserious—or at least as less serious than other issues, like economics and foreign policy—I wonder how serious they are.

“Men can get pregnant” We have lost our way as a human species. But I do believe here in the US we are about to collapse. It will hurt the Lefties the worse as the government so so rely on won’t be able to help them, and they will turn on each other killing for a can of beans. The inner cities will be come utter chaos. Death and stench will be everywhere.

Propaganda is intended to instill fear. The message is: “You might not believe in pro-regime values or attitudes. But we will make sure you are too frightened to do anything about it.”

Many of these things are so outrageous that no one will believe you.

There’s an interview with Brandon Stroka (a gay man, who founded the Walk Away movement in response to finding out that Trump didn’t actually want to kill him and all his friends in a prison camp) where he discusses talking with someone that told him about some of the ‘Queer Culture’ books in elementary school libraries, and he initially dismissed the guy as over-excitable. He ordered a book and was embarrassed it was even in his house.

Look at what ‘nice old man Biden’s’ Justice Department has been doing with political prisoners. Or what Obama’s did to opponents.
