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"
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!"
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.
I never take "Yuri" seriously. He seems to me to be out to make a buck and not much more. There are quite a few of his type in the Substack world. They see opportunities here.
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.
Just proves my point that too many people come to various Substacks in order to be part of a popular herd, versus coming here to learn.
A lot of envy oozing out of you too. I see that actual expertise or an inquiring mind intimidates you. Especially if this is found in the lowly comment forums as opposed to the godly position of Substack hosts.
No, I'm not. I have had experience with him. You sound as if you've been taken.
Used to subscribe to his Substack, for quite a long while. Until he banned me for being too truthful. And being his competition in better explaining the concepts than he can. "Yuri" had no idea there are actual experts in these fields. And that they might reply to his posts.
So despite his "freedom-fighting" theme, he got rid of me.
I see you must have fallen for the image he plays, however. It's a very old story. People fall to the pied pipers all the time.
Do you think that "Yuri" would do this if there wasn't a lucrative Substack pay-out attached? It's just an Influencer business for him. The product sells.
There are many Substack hosts just like "Yuri". They will also ban anyone who questions them. While they crow at the same time about supposed "freedom-fighting"(or Christian values). I find it hilarious. I have the same opinion of Rod Dreher, if it makes you feel any better.
Experts, in a field? Yes, we know all about experts out in their fields and they are the problem. Got your new jab yet? The experts in the field say you are due for another, it's Covid season coming.
Cosmo, you come across as a bit crazy. You love experts when someone like "Yuri" pretends to be one. You hate them when they are leftists. Or you think they are.
You're all over the place.
So on what basis should we believe any Substack hosts? Or is it simply about popularity and the cult of personality at Substack? No facts need be involved? I find that Substack is often just a popularity game. There are some amazingly good analytical writers out there who get only a pittance, in terms of readers, when they should have an avalanche of them.
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.
Sorry...I have the formal background to assess these truths. "Yuri" (who should not be using the name of the real Yuri Bezmenov) simply throws out the basics along with some entertaining razzle-dazzle....and he's got you!
I suggest you learn how PR and influence actually operate. Do the background study.
Most people were not aware of even the basics in this field of Totalitarianism when COVID-mania came along and perplexed them. So if someone like "Yuri" could stay just one step ahead of the complete neophytes, they thought he was an actual expert. And he sold his stuff.
They had nothing to compare him to, in their worlds. The study of totalitarianism has been in the academic sphere for centuries....not everyday fodder. Though the work has always been publicly available (not secret) for anyone who invests the effort. I find that few do.
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.
Yes, I think we all know what is going on by now "Yuri". Do catch up. This is old news. You are going to have to get new material. That product of yours is getting weak and stale. Same stuff being hashed out for over five years now.
So tell us....what's your answer? I realize you are not an expert at all, but just some guy who realized he could operate an Influencer business on these basic freedom-fighting ideas.
Eventually though....you are going to have to come up with the real goods. As in, "Mr. Expert....tell us all what we must do to change Western society back to normal".
Yuri, why is it that I always sense you spout off these noble claims not because you would go to bat for them yourself....but because they sell? They are your product that is pushed through your lucrative Substack...a business. Many people right now love "freedom-fighting" products. They sell well.
Here you are again, with your usual trick of rushing up to the top of the comment board so that you will collect the most "likes" simply because that is the way it works on these boards and in human nature -- the first thing most readers see that others have clicked, they will click too. Then you end up having a light shone on you...and they go over to YOUR Substack.
You know I have mentioned this to you several times. But I suppose if it works as a con trick...why change it? PR is mostly mind control, is it not?
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.
And if any of them become suicidal, it is because they are in that frame of mind. The cause and the result are being mixed-up. Purposely. The potential suicide risk would dissolve if they returned to a balanced normal psyche.
"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.
Ah...well here is where we get into the territory of Freud's "Death Wish". Any group or society or individual being pulled into or promoting suicide is being pulled into the dark side of the human unconscious. Tends to be the endpoint of long unresolved traumas.
It is a very bad place to be. It is about as far into the world of polarized Id as you can get (Id/Ego/Superego). The mediating Ego, or sense of Self, is not holding.
It should be hung around their neck like a millstone and then they should be hurled into the sea!
Matthew 18:6
“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”
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.
The same case is to be made with Israel: either Western Civ STANDS, or it falls divided.
"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. Don't do that
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.
We need to flush out, by name, the teachers and other “professionals” who believe it is okay for them to meet privately with elementary school students to chit-chat about their choice of gender, keeping it all a secret from parents.
Correct. Its NEVER been about rights, sexuality, or even 'trans' itself, which is not even a thing. Its ALWAYS been an assault on cognitive liberty in order to 'deconstruct'. Its a power play....nothing else
More great work, Sasha... I read this right after finishing Matt's "War on Humanity" piece that you quote... What a one-two punch... Thanks to the both of you.
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.
Remember: A govt powerful enough to give you everything you want--is powerful enough to take everything away... And the first thing they would take away is your right to express yourself.
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.
Sasha, you are not alone. You are appreciated and well loved. Thank you for putting yourself out there for the truth. Bravery is not lack of fear. Bravery is being scared shitless and still doing the right thing. 🙏 Thank you. Much love.
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"
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.
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.

You are wrong about Yuri.
You sound like a groupie....of the British royal family or Taylor Swift or any of the celebrity types or popular and entertaining Substack hosts.
It's a form of projection, of the Self.
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.
Oh aren't you a clever one, Skenny....😁
Just proves my point that too many people come to various Substacks in order to be part of a popular herd, versus coming here to learn.

Substack is certainly not always about quality.

Goodness, it's been over three hours and no reply yet from "Yuri".
Do ya suppose he hasn't a clue what they answer is? That's my bet.
Yuri, why is it that I always sense you spout off these noble claims not because you would go to bat for them yourself....but because they sell? They are your product that is pushed through your lucrative Substack...a business. Many people right now love "freedom-fighting" products. They sell well.

"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.
Great comment. 100%
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.
About 30% is the historical average.
And what percentage committed suicide after they did NOT go "trans"?? I wonder if there is a stat on that???
I am thinking they are about the same. Very tragic.
It's a false equivalency, to begin with.
And if any of them become suicidal, it is because they are in that frame of mind. The cause and the result are being mixed-up. Purposely. The potential suicide risk would dissolve if they returned to a balanced normal psyche.
Zero. They don't have the balls. I mean literally they do, but not consequentially.
"We should be watchful for any group that uses suicide as a threat or a bribe." --> YES!!

Yes Spread around the world,,,? is Transgender allowed in Saudi Arabia? China?
100%
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.
RIP Magna Carta and a long tradition of free speech in the UK. So glad I didn't get that job in England in 1972 and stayed here in the USA.
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.

You seem to support Israel. News flash, the UK supports Hamas
Black/white thinking is detrimental to critical thought
There is no gray. There is right and wrong. Grey will ultimately end Western Civilization.
Oh ffs. This is just silly. Also dimwitted. There is ALWAYS gray. In EVERYTHING. THATS how we GOT W Civ, ffs
"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.

gray is the area where scoundrels lurk.
We do not hold the same values, they have theirs and we have our principals.

God bless Graham Linehan and yourself as well Sasha Stone. If people don't stand against this madness, it will never end.

The fact that this is happening, proves that transUniverse is not about gender or children but expansion and power.
Correct. Its NEVER been about rights, sexuality, or even 'trans' itself, which is not even a thing. Its ALWAYS been an assault on cognitive liberty in order to 'deconstruct'. Its a power play....nothing else
It is another destruction tactic. The theme is not important....just the fact that it is a vehicle for power.
