Elite opinions change fashion faster than elite wardrobes.

When you express a luxury belief, you are communicating your level of education, your income, and your sociopolitical sympathies. It is an expression of what the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu called cultural capital.

You are trying to separate yourself from the commoners, from the masses. You want to signal that you are better than them, so you express the beliefs fashionable among your class.

The question, then, is: What is the fashionable luxury belief of the moment?

Perhaps the most intuitive recent example is the Defund the Police movement in the United States. Survey data indicated that high-income Americans were the most supportive of defunding the police, while low-income Americans were the least supportive. White Democrats favored the idea more than black and Hispanic Democrats.

But that belief is now déclassé. It is passé. That was several years ago. Bring up “Defund the Police” with some of the people who championed it six years ago, and they become shy or embarrassed. They say, “Oh, we never really meant that.”

So what is the new luxury belief?

I have been speaking with psychologists and mental health professionals who tell me that some experts increasingly want to destigmatize suicide. Destigmatization is an ongoing project among cultural elites. Anything we once stigmatized as harmful must now be destigmatized, normalized, or reframed in more morally neutral terms.

I do not think they have gone so far as to describe suicide as good. But some appear to be moving toward treating it as a choice that should not be judged.

My question for these mental health experts is this: Would you destigmatize suicide for your own son or daughter if they began expressing thoughts of self-harm? Would you say, “That is your choice. It is perfectly valid. Living is no better than not living. Do whatever feels right”?

Or, when it comes to their own families and their own children, would they say, “This is very serious. We need to protect you and get you help”?

Perhaps their private response would be urgent and morally unambiguous, while their public position would remain softer: that suicide is a behavior like any other, that it must be discussed without judgment, and that we should not shame people who make that decision.

Not far from the Vatican there is a cemetery where a young girl called Desirée Mariottini is buried.

Desirée was a 16-year-old girl who was drugged and raped over two days until her death by a gang of Senegalese and Nigerians migrants in a “drug den” in the San Lorenzo district of Rome in 2018.

Her rapists, Mamadou Gara, Brian Minteh, Alinno Chima and Yusif Salia were undocumented migrants who arrived to Europe via Lampedusa.

When will Pope Leo go pay his respects at her grave!?

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

The Greatest Generation fought hard to save Europe from the inhumane ideology of the German Nazis

They would have deserved to grow old in prosperous & peaceful societies. Sadly, communist subversion & mass-immigration ruined that prospect

[Kevin | Large Fam Dad @LargeFamDad]

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.

Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.

Great guy, I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

Ricordate il pm torinese Gianfranco Colace, quello che intercettò illegalmente 500 volte per tre anni il senatore Stefano Esposito? Bene, le Sezioni unite civili della Cassazione hanno appena confermato la sanzione disciplinare inflittagli un anno fa dal Csm: trasferimento a Milano e passaggio dalle funzioni penali a quelle civili (più la perdita di un anno di anzianità). La sua condotta era stata censurata anche dalla Corte costituzionale.
Raccontare le gesta di Colace mi è costato 4 querele da parte del magistrato (ancora attendo di sapere l'esito). E ora si comprende ancora di più il motivo.
Resta un fatto: se un magistrato viola in maniera grave ed evidente la Costituzione (“grave violazione di legge determinata da ignoranza o negligenza inescusabile”) viene punito con il trasferimento a Milano, cioè un ufficio persino più importante di quello in cui ha commesso l'illecito (Torino) e il passaggio al civile, come se questo contasse meno del penale. A ciascuno di voi le dovute considerazioni.

Un abbraccio a @esposito18669, che a causa di questa vicenda ha passato 7 anni di inferno, che ho voluto raccontare nel mio ultimo libro "Massacro giudiziario".

Trafficking survivor who gave birth at 14 reunites with her son, whom she put up for adoption, for the first time in 20 years.

Jess Levinson's mother started trafficking her for drugs when she was just 12 years old.

At the age of 14, after becoming pregnant, she ran away from home to avoid pressure to abort her son, according to Live Action.

She gave birth and spent 3 months with her son before putting him up for adoption so he could live a better life.

Levinson has now been reunited with him for the first time in 20 years.
