It's fascinating how the "I fucking love science!" crowd turn into soul-body dualist mystics the second trannyism comes up.

You would think disbelief in the enternal soul would negate the idea of being born in the wrong body. I think now that most political positions are arrived at ad hoc now, so contradictions are rarely, if ever, acknowledged or even experienced by the "science" crowd.

Yes, they're just a grab bag of boutique opinions.

The trans chaos is a kind of flare point, but really the whole culture is so degraded and de-Christinised, that it's all basically a form of grooming. It grooms your child into being a Modern person.

Modern, 'normal' socialization makes us view things like promiscuity and extra-marital sex and homosexuality as normal. If you disgree, you are considered abnormal and basically antisocial.

Homeschooling is necessary in more ways people even realize. It goes much deeper than just avoiding the current woke insanity.

One of the things that I realized as a public school teacher is how pervasive ideas are, and how they are re-iterated everywhere in public school. It's not just history books that are wrong, it's the mindset which gets expressed through every interraction the student has with authority. Heavily propagandized people will just spill it back out of their mouths constantly. They aren't even aware they are doing it, and the students of course don't realize it until later.

I have similar experiences from working in the school system.

Of course, most people NEVER realize how they've been conditioned and 'socielized' to become what are called normies. This kind of normiedom and social conditioning is in many ways inevitable and even positive, PROVIDED that the normative frame they are put in is generally virtuous.

The leftist radicals of the 19th and 20th centuries struggled because of the normies of their times, who were uninclined to go against Christian values they'd been socialized to. Ultimately the revolutions were pushed through top down by over-educated middle-class theoriticians and malcontents who had broken through the Christian norms.

Nowadays the radicals have taken control of norm establishment.

Fully agree I do wonder though if maybe there might come a time when things are reversed and the propagandization system is overturned, and this obsession with the sexual is returned to a properly Christian set of morality/ideas regarding such matters.

Life is teaching me that few people are actually secular. Most people have a theology. If that is true, then it is important to pick wisely and intentionally, and to not have it advertised to us.

I use secular in the broad and modern sense. Most people, when you get down to it, are religious even if they don't realize it. They say they believe in "science" which really just means they have faith in the priests put on the air by mainstream corporate news who are called "scientists."
