Will you be paying reparations for the decades of damage you’ve done?

You see this kind of thing occasionally, especially, say, on dates like 22 June 1941.

Wait until the nation’s embassies, flying the new trans flag, become safe spaces worldwide for molest & mutilate.

Some lifestyles are inherently totalitarian, regarding children as creatures owned by the part and the state.

And the problem with that is, it’s in media res. It doesn’t start at the beginning of the trans-formation [sic], wherein schools support activist teachers’ introducing their very young students to the idea that gender is (a) significantly non-binary, (b) entirely independent of biological sex characteristics including at the cellular level, and (c) a matter of choice and uncritical self-perception. These very young kids have no idea about any of this nor any defense against it – when their kindergarten teacher encourages a girl who prefers to dress as a firefighter to consider herself to be a boy, or a boy who likes the princess dresses to consider himself to be a girl, that teacher – in many children’s lives, THE SECOND OR THIRD MOST TRUSTED ADULT THEY KNOW – isn’t going to have to explain herself (or himself – I know there must be some), either to the naive child or, thanks to schools’ cover, to the child’s parent.

So the child has early exposure to the concepts of transness and queerness, and to the perception that most people are not plain old heterosexual and in the “correct” bodies – which all feeds into the You Are Special narrative that schools use to try (unsuccessfully) to foster students’ self-esteem (instead of the old narrative of “you deserve credit and approbation for what you do, including getting back up again after a failure, not just for existing”). That child then sees the hearty approval the first kid in the class to “come out” receives from teachers, and the popularity bump the kid receives from peers, as well as the pervasive presence of trans and queer characters and themes in “family” programming and in young-reader books.

The child gets a little older and becomes exposed to the “triumph over dystopia” themes that dominate in middle school. Puberty is around the corner, and the kid begins to feel that unease that accompanies its physical and mental changes. The kid, entering good old adolescent rebellion, decides that parents are the enemy and that the consequences will be dire if the parents find out about the weird feelings the kid is having.

And now, the kid has a ready course to take, and the school can claim it’s “just” supporting the student’s decision and wishes.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who co-sponsored the legislation, said President Joe Biden and Adams are “truly responsible for the influx of millions of migrants into our country and city,” blasting the mayor for using the city’s “Right to Shelter” law as a gateway to house border crossers and illegal aliens in public schools.

“I’m happy to see the House take action to stop the Mayor from putting individuals who are not properly vetted in facilities that should be exclusively utilized by our children,” Malliotakis said. “I urge the Senate to take up this legislation along with the comprehensive border security package the House passed in May.”

They were fine with the border states and Republican-majority communities paying for it.
Except, given that the federal government has been shoving money at non-profits (someone is profiting, you can bet on that) which “resettle” the illegals, we have all collectively been paying.

It just hurts more when its obviously coming out of your own wallet.

Lenin knew what God told the Israelites 4000 years ago:
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sadly, we all know families with children who had the same religious training as their siblings who DID depart from it; fortunately, many of them return to that training later.

Conversely, Neo and others are proof that the reverse works as well: childhood training in Leftism sometimes falls apart on contact with reality.

In that, the left is more fragile than the religious, who are starting with, and returning to, truth and reality.

“I have been a lifelong Democrat — my family, my parents,” Hikind said. “But that’s over! That’s finished … Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized … that people who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party … and I’ve had enough.”

He criticized the Biden administration for “turning its back” on Israel. His wife, Shani, added: “I’m totally convinced that this is the right move … The Democratic Party no longer represents our interests, what we stand for, and our values.” She said the party no longer represented how she and her husband felt about America.

Hikind, who represented areas of Brooklyn in the state legislature, left open the idea of running for office again.

Why does this keep happening? How can environmentalists preach fire and brimstone about CO2 emissions one minute and then hit the airport lounge the next? For much of the elite green movement, the reason is obvious enough: they either don’t really buy their own bullshit about our planet’s impending heat death, or they just think that only we should have to pay the price for averting it. They, by contrast, are too important. Their air miles are apparently essential to the great awakening of humanity.

But I think there’s something else going on here, too – particularly with the crustier, less wealthy end of the green movement. Namely, that even eco-warriors don’t really want to live in the miserable world they are trying to inflict on us. Even they don’t want to forgo the conveniences and experiences that make life today so much better than it was in the past.

Indeed, environmentalism offers a dreadful vision for the future. It is a demand that ordinary people put up with less. The best-case scenario is a society that is less mobile, economically dynamic and productive than it is now. Environmentalism might appeal, in theory, to elites and activists with a warped, overly romantic view of pre-industrial society. But it really isn’t any way to live.

And deep down, I think they know it.

They are hoping to take total control of Everything, at which point (I predict) they will turn on the same dime as always when they have the upper hand (as with Free Speech), and suddenly discover that fossil fuels are Essential (for themselves).
