For fun, let's see if we can out-Left the Left.

"Five men caught having group sex with the carcasses of dead animals in a public park have been hailed today by civil rights groups for engaging in a brave and commendable free expression of their love. 'It's horrific that in this day and age, society is still oppressing people in this way, who's only crime was having different preferences to them. I think what they did is beautiful'. Police are now investigating troubling claims that local butchers have been denying sales of carcasses to members of the necrozoophilia community. Civil rights groups have also been campaigning against the prohibition of carcass-love in public schools, saying 'we're willing to take this all the way to the Supreme court if we have to, and believe me, we'll win'."

Maybe, but I also never would have thought that you could have gotten them to defend the idea of a dude being allowed to hang out in their bathrooms and locker rooms.

Bill Maher dropped a line the other night that I think is pretty profound. When commenting on how far over the top the PC police have gone lately, he observed that "gay has become the new straight".

As somebody who would be considered "socially progressive" on this forum, and who fully supports gay marriage, I'm honestly stunned at how quickly the social justice movement has swung behind the cause of normalizing transgenders.

No hemming or hawing, no delays, just straight up - "IF YOU DON'T APPLAUD BRUCE JENNER'S COURAGE YOU'RE A TRANSPHOBIC BIGOT AND MAY AS WELL JOIN THE KLAN"

I'm starting to think that some of the conservatives who I mocked and and felt superior to because of their "Where will it end?" argument may have had a point....

Oh wow, a liberal with some self-awareness, that's a new one

Oh for fuck's sake. They better not segue this with a "The G word" where a gay goes around making guys turn, or whatever the hell is going on in that fucking show.

I am in the same boat, I recently have gone from socially left to right by just not changing my opinions with the times. Anyone who stands still will have the same thing happen to them.

Crazy times we live in.

I get what he's saying, but the radicals 60 years ago (and liberals 30) never really believed in equality - that was never the endgame, and their writings prove it. But they had to wrap their agenda in fair-sounding language to get most people to buy in.

I noticed a change in the how both sides of the political spectrum perceives free speech in the last 15 years or so.

Before it was typically more left-winging people who would call on it to support their right to express their opinions. I remember distinctively being in high school around say 2003 when Bush was still president and the Dixie Chicks made some comment at a concert about how they were ashamed he was from the same state they are from. This lead to them getting their music pulled from certain country stations and I remember some left-leaning person complaining about how could America pride itself on it's free speech when stuff like this is happening and I also remember this guy getting the "free speech only protects you from being persecuted by the government due to your speech it doesn't stop private entities from responding in the way they wish" explanation from other people. The idea is that private firms do not have to provide a platform for any speech they don't agree with and do not have to associate themselves with people or other firms that express opinions contrary to their own if they wish.

Fast forward today and the tables have totally turned. Now it's typically right-wingers that have to appeal to free speech when they express their now unpopular opinions and the leftists that respond with "free speech only protects you from being persecuted by the government blah blah blah YOU SHITLORD". They know that they are the ones that hold cultural power now and we can see them making use of it through their constant mass-shaming tactics such as Twitter mobs. It's the leftists now that constantly make the "private firms don't have to give you a platform for you to express your problematic opinions" since now they know they either control these platforms or have the ability to make people who do control these platforms to bend to their will.

The whole purpose of free speech isn't to protect speech that everyone agrees with; such speech doesn't need protection. It is speech that is likely to be vilified and to go against public opinion that needs protection. Now that the leftist's cultural agenda is mainstream, free speech is no longer a shield they need and hence it has been cast off. And since it's typically right-wingers that have to appeal to free speech to even get a word in these days, not only free speech been cast off it is also being vilified as a way for the left's ideological opponents to commit "microaggressions" and hence as something dangerous that needs to be suppressed. It's funny how the left still likes to see themselves as plucky underdogs when it's clear that they are the ones that are occupying the bully pulpit now.

The battle is already lost gentlemen. Interesting note from Chuck Klosterman's "I Wear The Black Hat":

Quote:

“Everyone knows history is written by the winners, but that cliché misses a crucial detail: Over time, the winners are always the progressives. Conservatism can only win in the short term, because society cannot stop evolving (and social evolution inevitably dovetails with the agenda of those who see change as an abstract positive). It might take seventy years, but it always happens eventually. Serious historians are, almost without exception, self-styled progressives.”

Excerpt From: Chuck Klosterman. “I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling With Villains (Real and Imagined).” iBooks.

In the end, that's certainly true, but a doctor's job isn't to keep someone alive forever, it's to keep the body functioning for as long as possible. Civilizations always fail, but the difference between great societies and forgettable ones lies in how long their flame burns, and how gloriously.

Ancient Egypt lasted for about 2000-3000 years as a contiguous polity with astonishingly limited changes in governance, art and religion, and this was a result of their worldview. Egyptians saw change as something to be practiced only when necessary, but even more crucially they felt the burden of proof was on new customs to demonstrate their worth. Likewise, they were obsessed with works of permanence and viewed it as a form of immortality. To them, things were only great if they lasted (the product of this inspired the Arab proverb "all things dread time; time dreads the pyramids"). Their society did evolve, but slowly and purposefully. Radicals in power like Akhenaten only made small headway that was soon erased.

Now look at our mentality. To us, the burden of proof rests on what does exist and what has served our ancestors, whereas newfangled dreams and theories are treated as sacrosanct and worthwhile by default. Impermanence is seen as a virtue onto itself. Changes made to the cultural and social fabric are almost invariably left and then strengthened. Modern society is the exact opposite of everything that maintained the great civilizations of the past, and that's why we've been hastily squandering some of the most important facets of our world for the last 60 years.

Is decline inevitable? Yes, but the speed and indignity of this particular decline was certainly avoidable.

Excellent point - lesbians can be as masculine, possessive, domineering, sexual as they want. See how all her mannerisms are 100% Alpha and how she would be put into Douchebag category if she were a man in the TV series.

As someone who is also fairly progressive I'm often taken aback by some of the outrage I get when I don't support the SJWs latest pet project just because I'm pro-gay marriage. I just find it baffling that so many people look at the two issues as if they are equivalent. One is about people having the right to feel attracted to whoever they want without fear of persecution and I'm totally behind it (if banging other dudes makes you happy I don't really care one way or the other). But the other is a legitimate mental illness where people, despite the fact they were physically born one gender, think that they are another. That is pretty plainly delusional.

I think one of the biggest reasons for their association is just because at some point in the past some numbskull decided to add the T to the LGB flagship. I feel like because of this a lot of gays feel like they have to support the transgender movement. I think that once gay marriage is completely legalized (definitely gonna happen) a lot more gay people will withdraw their support of the trannies. I personally know a couple of gay guys who are not fans at all of the whole Bruce Jenner spectacle but are uncomfortable voicing that opinion from fear of what some of the people in their community would think.

Called it.

Pedophilia is next-no joke. I was in a college class and the Professor started talking about pedophilia and my classmates seemed fine with it. Some people were saying "If two people love each other, what's wrong with that? Age shouldn't be a factor." These people are not interested in older man-young woman, though- which would make sense -they abhor this(patriarchy.) They want older man-young boy.

Today my facebook feed was plastered with posts about pride parades.

Personally I have no beef with gays, and even a few of my friends are gay.

But by staying silent about it, I feel like I'm in the minority of those who didn't explicitly voice his support for gay pride.

Things are a-changing (understatement of the year).

This is why I'm laughing at all the liberals saying that religious people will not be persecuted and churches will not be attacked because it's "unconstitutional". The fact that the Supreme Court were allowed to decide on Same-Sex Marriage was unconstitutional, LoL! The Constitution doesn't mean shit to people. The last several Presidents have wiped their asses with the Constitution. The fact that we have a lot of sanctimonious, emboldened SJWs in this country is all I need to know to answering the question of whether or not churches and other conservative institutions are going to be attacked. When does this Liberal zealotry stop? Never! I've been seeing this for years.

That concerns all politicians for the last 160 years. Those that opposed those orders were publicly executed. A president/prime minister in every country has a simple job - say anything that they want him/her to say and take the blame for it. After the career is over he or she will be paid for this job with a 9 digits amount like Clinton or even some presidential candidates like Al Gore.

   

There are plenty of examples in recent Canadian / US politics where politicians flip-flopped instantly after being elected. None of those guys want to be "Kennedied". It's better to paid 100 mio. + $.

My take is that Obama will cross into the one billion territory - doing speeches, making endorsements, being on company boards without doing the work etc. Bill Clinton probably made about 500 mio. + on his speeches and insider trading schemes - he may already be a billionaire for all we know, since US politicians can legally do insider trading (passed that law a few years ago). So any politician having a mere 5 mio. $ as his net worth is either a moron or he is omitting 50 mio. $ there.
