Better to lose everything and keep your soul. The democrats and Labour are waging a woke jihad. We must all do everything we can do limit the collateral damage.

That's not enough. A price needs to be paid or they will keep doing this and other crazy leftist stuff. People need to look back in 10 years and say, "let's be really careful, because the people who pushed the trans agenda and facilitated mutilation of kids lost their assets, lost their livelihoods and became non-persons"

The trans fad will never go away (or, at best, it will take decades to get rid of it) because there are thousands of “good” parents (tens of thousands?) who have allowed this to happen to their children, and they can NEVER admit that they harmed their child. They would have a total psychological breakdown. They HAVE TO keep insisting that it was the right choice; otherwise they’re monsters.

Orwell's Rabbit, I fear you are spot on with this. I've watched both friends and family go thru this. The pain of reversal is far too high.

That's not the extent of it. We also need to be wary of the left-wing apostate, who says "Look at me, I stood against the excesses! But let's still keep most of the left-wing project that led there, because I like it!"

If we don't pull the roots, the weeds grow back.

I have to admit.... you said it several times, but with that 'bullseye" character assessment, you proved it. You really are an "expert."

As I said, I'm not, so please allow me to humbly disengage so that you might allocate your time and genius to your intellectual equals. I'm not worthy.

P.S. We know what the "A" stands for.

The same criticism gets leveled inaccurately at Matt Taibbi. It is undoubtedly true for "experts" like Reich and Krugman. Truth is kryptonite for those two guys. Haven't seen that with Yuri.

Two questions:

1) How did support for free speech become a counter culture movement?

2) We don't need to hang anything around those demons' necks. God said if you harm the least of these, better to have a millstone put around your neck and be thrown into the sea.

"Would you rather have a trans kid or a dead kid?"

The answer is neither, but last week in Minneapolis we got both.

I wonder how many trans kids ultimately commit suicide? Someone doesn't want that number revealed.

The data do not support that theory (that kids will kill themselves if not allowed to transition). That is used solely to get squishy parents to go along with a grooming fantasy.

Yup. They are actually much more likely to kill themselves if they Do transition. But if they are not allowed to, they are ultimately happier in the end and realize it was just a bad idea, and they snap out of it.

Trans have a high suicide rate (after Transitioning) because almost all of them Regret it and feel they can't ever go back to being normal. It's a horrible thing. Irreversible damage. They have destroyed themselves and see no way out. So they kill themselves. Horrible that this shooter not only suicided himself but also killed innocent children.

But if they are not allowed to Trans-mutilate, they are ultimately happier in the end and realize it was just a bad idea, and they snap out of it.

"We should be watchful for any group that uses suicide as a threat or a bribe." --> YES!!

Sasha nailed it. I've heard or read that implied threat "Would you rather have a trans kid or a dead kid," before. It always rang so false. When I was 8 years old, I came to believe that I was the reincarnation of Crazy Horse. I believed it for a few years and then grew out of it. Before that, I wanted to be a dinosaur or an astronaut. My world was not shattered when I found out I wasn't going to be any of those persons. But what if there were an influential adult in my life, like a teacher, who convinced me that if I couldn't be a dinosaur or the reincarnation of Crazy Horse, my life would be for nothing, a genetic mistake that never should have been born and now I must suffer the most horrendous indignities because I don't have special rights that allow me to get dressed as a dinosaur and go to work, get on a bus, get married, have children believing I am T-Rex and forcing everyone around me to pretend that I'm a dinosaur. That's just violence and oppression on the Trans-Dino community.

Sasha, you are the best. You have a conscience that guides your life, and that is so incredibly rare in this crazy day and age.

No one who supports gender ideology has any grasp of ethics or morals associated with their hideous actions and the horror they inflict on kids. This must end. It absolutely must end.

A hero indeed but we also need to talk about the "special relationship " with the UK. It needs to end. They arrest people for online speech at 30-50 times the rate that Russia does. As JD says we don't share the same values. They and the EU are sabotaging the peace efforts in Ukraine and Gaza. Tulsi turned off Five Eyes sharing about Ukraine but it needs to be completely terminated. Rubio warned them about arresting people for actions that are legal here so it is time to follow through. He is an Irish citizen but the tweets originated here and we're on a US based platform. So sanctions on leadership like what we do with individuals in Russia. If they don't get the message, then further action will be needed.

No. It MUSTN'T end. It MUST be reinforced and bolstered up! We DO hold the same values, ffs.. they are just being trampled! The solution is to oust those doing the trampling! Not just give up on Western Civ.

"Gray" is a misnomer, in a sense. I've had this argument with myself, until I realized that if you use a microscope on "gray", you'll see little bits of black and white that makes it. So the answer is to dig deeper, with the law as a guide, especially concerning the USA, as we have the rule of law (including God's natural laws - and in the past, faith in the Creator - as our foundation)

Dude...you guys are just not getting it. At all. Im NOT advocating pitting Western values against non-Western...that's self evidently stupid. What I AM advocating for is putting those very values at the forefront of philosophical thought, social structure, etc. THATS Liberalism, Enlightenment values, critical thought, etc. Its the abandonment of these values that has led to such ridiculous black/white thinking...and you're falling for it like lemmings.

he and others who are speaking out against minors having gender change surgeries and chemical body alterations, are doing the world a huge service. They will be remembered for their social martyrdom.

.

to see the other kind of example, google "Dr. Gordon Guyatt" and read about him in UnHerd and other places. Caving in to the mob under pressure from his Canadian government, university, and the transmobs. When in fact his resarch does speak for itself, against minors getting surgeries & chemical alterations.

FBI Agent Elvis Chan was the conduit between the Biden/Harris administration and social media. He was being paided by taxpayers to instruct social media who and what was to be allowed and who and what was not to be allowed. Anyone that contradicted government messaging and their efforts were shutdown and/or deplatformed. Do not forget that for four years our very own government was attacking our 1A rights and do not forget who was all for it: the Democrat Party propaganda machine.

Remember, it was John Kerry who, in front of the WEF, stated that the First Amendment made it difficult for "Democrats to rule' (his words) and that the Constitution needed to be re-written. Harris and Biden, along with multiple democrats, applauded.

JD Vance gave a speech at the Munich Security Council shortly after the inauguration that addressed these issues. He basically said we no longer recognize some of our oldest allies. The attendees were clearly not happy, but others say it was an important one for them to hear. I think its on YouTube, well worth a watch. He has great style, very easy to listen to.

For every “cause” the Left loves to appear to be standing for, they have an ulterior “cause” which they CANNOT announce or the public would realize who the Left REALLY is…

Abortion is NOT about abortion, the “climate” is NOT about the climate, so when the Left finally runs out of virtuous veneer to act as cover, they eventually expose themselves for who they TRULY are…

And that’s where we are today…

Among the worst things that transgender ideologues do is to misrepresent the facts about their darlings being killed. They want you to think that bad evil MAGA oppressors go out at night hunting poor sweet innocent transies (to coin a word). It's really trans prostitutes getting killed when their Johns realize what just happened. What might be called Lola Syndrome has been getting Lola's killed for many years. I remember hearing about such cases decades ago. Most of those killed must have been transvestites, not transies.
