I'm guessing that after the American midterms the Dems will abandon it as a mainstream platform because it appears to mostly be a losing proposition and plays into republican campaign strategies very well. Since the republicans basically are handed a free win with shit like "DQ story time" or some of those quasi-porn books in school fiascos. Also most of the pro-trans voices are obviously crazy.

Will remain on the fringes as fundraising fodder. Much like how evangelical stuff is not used as a mainstream Republican platform now, but it's still there and will come back later. Trans issues will be sidelined for a few cycles but will come back. Or maybe they'll have polygamy be the next issue as a way to try to woo weird Mormon and Muslim traditionalists along with the polycules.

Pedophilia will be the next big issue.

you are correct, and this is a big part of it....have you heard of people calling themselves MAPS? there's another horror story. normalization of trans was intended largely to normalize pedo

so, just like 'trans' and 'pedo' alike, each is another step away from nature (or God) and towards a fully controlled technocratic vampire control grid.

The popularization of the consumption of weed is part of this too.

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

How? I love weed and it never made me wanna trans out

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (15 children)

Weed is for dumbing down. It's not a smart drug. Give this to anyone already somewhat impressionable and they will be susceptible to the brainwashing of the leftists ideology. The ever-unwashed liberals here all smoke weed bought on their welfare payments screeching about this woke nonsense.

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

Some of our brains are too noisy and we want the dumbing down.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

That noise should be embraced, they are the sounds of actual thoughts happening. Listen, there they go. Woosh, thoughts flying by. Turn up the volume. Be smarter.

[–]Musky 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

You ever couldn't fall asleep for a week straight just cause you couldn't stop thinking about things? Anything, everything. There is also depressing stuff like the knowledge of our impending deaths, I mean the totality of it all, and our utter insignificance in the grand scheme of things. It's better not to think about things we can't change anyways. Eat, drink, be merry.

I used to inflict wakefulness on myself intentionally, face the sense of impending doom head on. It's invigorating. But I would use the old trick for avoiding bad trips, repeatedly tell myself that I am invincible. A marvelous trick so long as you avoid staircases and moving vehicles.

Although speaking of not smart, I almost leaned onto my acupuncture needles just now.

No. Thoughts are toxic, that's why weed is toxic. It INCREASES mental noise.

[–]Alphix 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

There are other ways to shut off the noise. This "way" actually INCREASES it in your natural state, making its use indispensable. But... i'M nOt AdDiCtEd!

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I agree, weed is addicting as hell. Anything you do every day is a habit.

[–]capmtripps420 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

dumb opinion. speak for yourself and throw fewer stones in your glass house.

There's a reason why sketches like this are not just prevalent but also funny, it's because it's true. I give you stoners:

Weed is Reality's version of Huxley's Soma. If that's not dystopian enough for you... I don't know what to say.

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I guess it does make people lazy and complacent, but I think for some of us it's more medicinal than fun.

[–]Alphix 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Wild lettuce extract has no such loony effects and is a natural and healthy painkiller.

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I was actually thinking about that today, I remember you mentioning it to me years ago. Might check it out.

[–]Alphix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Real men burn their digestive systems with capsaicin for the endorphin rush though. Wild lettuce is for little girls.

[–]capmtripps420 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

maybe the high octane, 24+% stuff? i been smoking outdoor and homegrown for decades and managed to keep my member functional and intact...

also: Cannabis comes from God. i dont understand why you think the trans agenda is linked to a plant?

[–]Alphix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Scorpions, Killer bees, venomous snakes and spiders are also "from God". Do you have a point? It has nothing to do with the plant itself, just the recreational use of it!

[–]capmtripps420 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

how are scorpions, killer bees, and venemous snakes and spiders associated with the trans agenda as you claim weed is?

[–]Alphix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They aren't, they're just "from God" just like weed. You know what else is "from God"? Critical thinking ability.

[–]HongPongHooey 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Cannibalism is not far behind.

I thought the next thing would be all-out transhumanism: implanted machines but also ANIMAL BODYPARTS. I can't wait to see some freak turned into a real life fucking minotaur, centaur, satyr, demons with actual horns growing out of their skulls, etc.

[–]Pixietree 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I believe you are correct with transhumanism. To get a bit conspiratorial (cuase that's what I do) merging machine and human has been the end goal. I think the hyper fixation on trans gender ideology was a stepping stone to transhumanism. Get the population ok with doing drastic change to their body with the gender crap. Get people dependent on the medical system, and there are different ways to accomplish that (thats a whole conversion in itself). Then introduce medical devices that merge to your body, like the neuro link. Then as time goes on nobody will recognize a actual human anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if people don't even live outside the internet at that point. They would be forever stuck in the meta verse or some other artificial reality.

I can almost hear the mantras now. "Furries are real animals!"

[–]Alienhunter 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

That has been brought up as an issue in the past and I think the remaining activists within the LGBTQIA+ movement do have that as their endgame as they're the new NAMBLA types by and large.

Will it be a big political issue? I doubt it. I don't think either party in the US is suicidal enough to run on a legalize pedophilia platform.

[–]Alphix 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

They will bring "experts" that will testify that "there really isn't anything wrong with it" and "pedos are people too" all wrapped up in nice political correctness and the politicians will pass bills that will contain small portions that favor legalizing this most horrendous of criminality. You'll see. It will be "just another sexual orientation"... the term MAP ("Minor Attracted Person") has already been coined, the process is already underway.

[–]Alienhunter 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Pedophiles want to rape children. If you don't think that is evil. I don't think you deserve human rights.

[–]jet199 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The word paedophile was literally just invented as a euphemism for child rapist because psychologists wanted a term which sounded more intellectual. Now they have the problem that most child abusers don't actually fit the fake definition of paedophile they came up with so it's useless.

[–]Alphix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Of course, I know it's pure evil, WTF. I stand firmly against such horrors.

[–]TaseAFeminist4Jesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Are you really comparing belief in Christ to men who use estrogen recreationally and behave promiscuously? Don't you think that's insulting?

[–]Alienhunter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Show me where I made that comparison please. Because I don't believe I did.

[–]TaseAFeminist4Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

This, though maybe I read too much into it:

Will remain on the fringes as fundraising fodder. Much like how evangelical stuff is not used as a mainstream Republican platform now

[–]Objecting_Sphere 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think that line was meaning to say that Republican pandering to evangelicals was fundraising fodder, not saying that evangelicals themselves are fundraising fodder. Evangelicals mean what they say, but for a while, politicians were pandering to them with false piety to get their donations. Similarly, cynical Democrat politicians have been pandering to the young college radicals with the trans stuff. At least, I hope they don't actually believe it...

[–]Alienhunter 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yes the similarities are in how both groups are exploited for political reasons. If you read current LGBTQIA+ fundraising materials it is eerily similar to a lot of christian fundamentalist fundraising material.

"They are coming to take away your rights and kill you. Vote for me I'll stop it." Type things.

There's a lot of emotional hysteria in both circles and it is easily harnessed to power a political machine.

It should be noted as well that the kind of evangelical voter I would be referring to is better described as a "dominionist" or simply someone who believes that Christian morality should be enforced legally (though few agree on exactly what that morality entails). Likewise they are a small minority of church goers and often make themselves pariahs in their circles for similar reasons as to how the woke left currently operate, namely that you get individuals making extreme histeronic displays in an attempt to guilt everyone to side with them. You can find the comparison insulting if you wish but I will still make it, as I believe the underlying psychological motivations and drives to be similar. I also don't think that the LGBTQIA+ movement is being driven by actual trans people so much as a bunch of rank and file "allies" that are exactly the kind of middle class stay at home mom types that would be the annoying church ladies in the past, they've simply stopped going to church because it's not socially required of them anymore and have replaced the social experience of it with various forms of activist movements.

[–]TaseAFeminist4Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's a pretty cogent analysis. It's not completely unfair. I would suggest, though, that a committed dominionist or Christian nationalist errs by following too many rules, whereas a committed leftist follows far too many. The former error is the preferable one.

[–]Alienhunter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Follows too few rules you meant to say?

I think the issue is in both groups they actually don't have set " rules" so much as they have a constantly shifting sense of social obligations and new rules through the outrage mechanism and various panics.

The dominionist have the benefit of the Bible as a basis for their ideology and that gives them a bit more stability than otherwise but I don't think it's a major boon. As the interpretation of the bible is very much left to the individual whims of each participant and their leaders. Eventually the most intolerant form of interpretation will become the mainstream form discussed simply because tolerant ideals are going to he eclipsed by intolerant ideals. At least in the mainstream discourse.

Consider now for Halloween, hot topic for evangelicals. You'll get the normies in the church. Want to put up some light decorations just cause, want to pass out candy to the neighborhood kids for fun and for making a good community impression.

Do this and invariably someone will get triggered and go on a long tirade about the satanic origins of Halloween and will continually press the issue until they are either accommodated or are given the ultimatum of shut up or leave.

Invariably this leads to the "harvest party" or "Jesus day" obviously stand in for Halloween but without their problematic elements. This will be enough for some, especially the "we need to reach the kids" types since they still get to do so. But it does invariably lead to a whole bunch of rules, oftentimes totally contradictory about what is and is not OK. And good luck getting any kind of coherent biblical answer if you ask because for some reason the Bible doesn't say anything about it eh? Funny that. Of course everyone has their own opinion about what it "would say" if it did say it, and that's just as good for them.

So you get what is essentially a "politically correct" Halloween party. Wanna go as a witch, nope satanic. Wanna go as Jesus? Nope sacrilegious. Wanna go as the minions, nope too worldly. Wanna go as a monkey? Might be seen as promoting evolution and trigger someone best not too. What's the best thing to do? Well find an excuse not to go at all, because it's not fun. No rules but everyone knows the one rule, obey all rules.

It's basically the same shit that happened in universities with the whole "culture not a costume" and woke Halloween stuff. Activist types see everything as a battle for equality, evangelical types see everything as a battle for the soul. In both cases it becomes an all encompassing pathological obsession which is easily manipulatable by those with less transparent intentions. As well as a way for narcissists to play the "I don't want this but the cause demands it" game when indeed they do want it and are just trying to shield themselves from criticism.
