Transgenderism is an uncontrolled society-scaled experiment in conformity and obedience: a test of how far you can make people parrot absurdities, inflict cruelties, collude with unrealities, and ostracize and punish people for things they do not themselves believe.
It is a test of whether the moral self-abasements and routine betrayals that occurred in the Soviet Bloc with its secret police and political prisons and armies of informants could be replicated in liberal, democratic, and pluralistic societies that lacked this formal apparatus of repression: whether minor rewards and punishments could force people to punish people for stating the most self-evident of all truths and inspire them to cheer on the chemical castration and dismemberment of their own children. It is a test of whether civil liberties organization could be twisted into instruments of state repression and human rights groups instruments of defamation and violence against women.
It is a test that most of the Western world is failing.
@nicksortor So McConnell had some recent connection to the Skunk Works UAP retrieval and reverse engineering program? He just disappears out of thin air?
Springsteen is trying to take back as much as he gives to his adoring crowds whereas Mick Jagger is primarily performing to give his fans the best emotional, music experience.
What a profound difference. It’s like the dole relationship between a communist government and its citizens versus rocking out your very best to your paying fans in the free world!
@mboyle1 Similar to levels of depravity there are descending steps to the basement of decrepitude. Both can coexist.
McConnell’s handlers are thinking he’s not photogenic enough for public consumption because he’s decaying to a level on the continuum that can’t be Photoshopped.
