This comes directly from the Radical Gender Theory/Queer Theory of people like Gayle Rubin.

In a paper called "thinking sex" Rubin defended an artist who displayed photos of her *7-year-old* son masturbating, and also sympathized with pedophiles whom she calls "boy-lovers." ImageImage
This line of reasoning, that children publicly engaging is sex acts is normal and ok, is directly from Radical Gender Theory/Queer Theory
In "The Leather Menace" Rubin sympathizes with "boy-lovers" again, and gives some praise to "The North American Man-Boy Love Association." ImageImage

80-90's retro art and culture, soaked in nostalgia and longing, is popping up everywhere.

In 1994 Vaclav Havel gave a speech that sheds light on why this is happening, and what people are aching for. He said:

Look, I am vaccinated, however...

This is a very bad thing they are doing. Pfizer very clearly suggested that their vaccines prevented transmission.

By pretending they never did what they clearly did, they are destroying trust in our medical institutions. This is very bad...

When mistakes like this happen the thing that erodes public trust is never the mistake, it's the covering up of the mistake, ignoring the mistake, or pretending the mistake never happened which makes people think institutions are operating in bad faith.

That's a problem...

Because and a high trust society is what allows for safe neighborhoods, good economies, and social co-operation between people. Destroying that trust frays the fabric of society, and eroding the credibility of public institutions destroys social trust very quickly.

This woman's speech at a school board meeting–after a school sent emails advertising a "family friendly" drag show for kids (sponsored by a 21+ gay bar)–is so good I'm going to transcribe it and explain why it's so effective.

Watch the whole thing, and let's go through it

I want you all to be able to do this, that means knowing WHY her speech was effective. So let's go through it

"I just want to know what it is that makes a drag show family friendly? If you follow it to it's logical conclusion you can slap family friendly titles on anything...
3/
So, she begins with two powerful moves:

1. by starting with a question she forces everyone to really think about what "family friendly" actually means

2. She points out that just because something has the title family friendly, does not mean it is really safe for children.

This is wrong.
As @default_friend has said for years, we're about to see the cringification of the girlboss archetype and it's rejection by the culture, and the rejection of sex positive nihilism that says sex has no inherent meaning but any consentual sex must be celebrated...
because all consentual sex, while having no inherent meaning, is the expression of the self in terms of one's desires, wants, goals, internal feelings, emotions etc...and self expression is to be celebrated.

Because @contrapoints is a millenial who came of age soaked in the...
it is difficult for @contrapoints to understand the rejection of one of the most cherished tropes of the millenial culture. The Girlboss, from it's early "boss bitch" phase in the late 2000's extending to the high period of "YYAASSS KWEEN💅" girlboss sass in the 2010's...

Everyone see the game here?

You, @RevKevDeYoung, arrogantly call things false just because the disagree with you, I, @scott_m_coley, call things false because they are false.

I, @scott_m_coley, will decide what is and is not false teaching and whoever doesn't agree is arrogant. ImageImage
Kristin Dumez pulls the same trick.

She thinks it is arrogant for @RevKevDeYoung to label anyone else a false teacher...but it's totslly fine when she says she knows who has living water and who doesn't.

All these people use exactly the same move. It is this.... ImageImage
"Your judgments about what is true, correct, right, etc...are to be treated like moves in an attempt to gain or keep power. But *MY* judgments about what is true, correct, right, etc...are to be treated like moves in a good faith attempt to find what is true correct right etc."

See this set of cartoons? These cartoons have exactly one message:

That every single thing in society is exactly as good, valuable, and important as every other thing is society.

Let's talk about that

Thread🧵

If you have been paying any attention to the culture you will have noticed something I like to call “the flattening of meaning.” This occurs when the culture decides everything is society is exactly as valuable, meaningful and important as absolutely everything else in society
3/
Nothing is objectively better, more desirable, superior, greater or more excellent any other thing. Everything from fashion choices, lifestyle choices, to relationship decisions is only valuable, or good as a matter of individual opinion, not as a matter of fact.
