Dr.Haim took a stand and risked his family, career, and livelihood. His opposition to GAC and it’s lack of evidence should have been mirrored by medical professionals *everywhere*. Sadly, politics seem to have overwritten the notion of ‘first do no harm’ bit of ethical medical behaviour. Of course he is being sued by the government for telling the truth. Support Dr.Haim in his fight to stop the mutilation and life long medicalization of children.
‘My name is Eithan Haim. I am a 33-year-old general surgeon who was the anonymous whistleblower in a story released May 16, 2023 by Christopher Rufo. We exposed the fact that Texas Children’s Hospital – the largest children’s hospital in the world – was lying to the public about the existence of their transgender program. In part due to the story’s release, the very next day, the Texas Legislature voted, with bipartisan support, to ban transgender medical interventions on minors. The conduct we exposed became illegal in the State of Texas within 24 hours of our story.’
1. Communism is when depraved freaks make it illegal to be normal, and kill all the successful people.
2. Fascism is when normie dullards make it illegal to be weird, and kill all the bright and creative people.
The depraved freaks from #1 think they are the bright and creative people from #2.
They are not.
All those people gyrating half-naked in front of children at pride parades think they are Oscar Wilde, but they aren’t.
When societies become highly permissive, the productive weirdos, the ones who simply can’t fit in because they are creative in useful ways, become surrounded by, outnumbered by, a horde of cargo-cult imitators.
These people imagine themselves to be creative free spirits, because they compete to be as freaky as possible. They do not understand that freaky behavior is not creative talent… it is only a side effect of creative talent.
Often these people are defective and useless, which is why they seek to use freakiness to camouflage themselves as creative, hoping to hide their uselessness.
This progresses until normies get disgusted with them, and start thinking fascism might be a good idea.
Then they kill everyone. This wipes out all the depraved freaks from #1, but it also wipes out Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, etc, as described in #2.
Because normie dullards can’t tell the difference, especially when their blood is up.
I understand why a lot of the right is educating itself about Wiemar Germany and re-examining fascism as a response to those conditions.
The impulse makes sense. Disgust is an entirely appropriate emotional response right now.
But they don’t understand that even if it has rational origins, fascism, like communism, is a process that spirals out of control.
Fascism isn’t just an expression of disgust. It is an ever-increasing hypersensitivity to disgust, created by a social and cultural echo chamber. Once it eliminates the original objects of disgust, it moves on to find more mildly disgusting things to target.
Eventually, any deviation from the norm, however trivial and harmless, becomes an object of disgust to be eradicated.
It begins with getting rid of Harvey Weinstein… but it progresses to getting rid of Richard Feynman and Elon Musk.
That sentence may sound strange to you. Feynman? Musk? Really?
But remember that the Gay Race Communism that now become the state religion of the political class progressed the same way. Barack Obama, the 2008 presidential candidate, was against state recognition of homosexual marriages. At the time, that was too much, too far.
Things progressed.
Slopes really are slippery. It isn’t a fallacy at all. The whole reason we characterize things as slopes is that a slope is a thing people tend to fall down. We notice things lead to other things, because the Overton window shifts, and we correctly characterize certain metaphorical terrain as a “slope”.
And just as the political class, Hollywood, and their pet idiots in NYC and LA spiraled into Gay Race Communism, the Middle American normal person backlash carries the risk of spiraling the opposite way.
Remember that fascist societies aren’t actually perfectly healthy cultures that suddenly, for no reason at all, get destroyed by their neighbors. What they do is they attack everyone they can see, once their disgust threshold becomes so low that every other type of society appears to them as nothing but a plague vector that must be wiped out.
So their neighbors are forced to destroy them in self-defense.
We, as a society, are currently in danger of both communism and fascism.
The risk of communism is that it’s what we will get if we do not purge the political class. The risk of fascism is that it’s what we will get if that purge spirals out of control.
Everyone reading this already understands that communism is the worst thing in the known universe… because anyone who doesn’t understand that has muted/blocked/unfollowed me long ago.
But we also need to understand the dangers of our own response.
If we do not use and focus our disgust, we are doomed to a communist future. But we must make that disgust our servant, not our master.
Don’t be like
“Queer Theory is one of the most destructive ideas ever to have been loosed onto our society from the halls of academia, as we have documented in the recent book The Queering of the American Child. But do you know the definition of “queer”? Do you know that it’s not possible to be queer, only to act queer? Do you know it has almost nothing to do with gay people? Do you know it’s virtually guaranteed by definition to encourage pedophilia? All this and more is available in the original definition of “queer” as it is used in Queer Theory. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, where he reads and explains the original definition of “queer” from David Halperin’s 1995 book Saint Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography.”
Queer theory has its origins in postmodern thought. The use and misuse of language is a key part of how activists move the ball in arguments and society.
When up against an activist it is advisable to define terms and always name the dynamic present. The responsibility lies with you to inform the low information audience exactly what the activist means when they say things that, ostensibly, sound reasonable.
Twitter people are getting better at dismantling the activist bullshit. Let’s look at this example.
Notice the framing of the activist. Here is the reply though.
See? It takes so much more time to reveal the false claim – the truth married to a lie – the permeates most activist discourse.
1) Here we have a man who ‘identifies as woman’ saying how could a man possibly know what women want/think. Ironic.
2) Queer Theory is against every norm in society – to be a queer activist is to have a political identity without as essence – there are no positive facts about being queer – it is a stance predicated on critiquing, deconstructing, and destroying the norms and ethics of stable societies. There are no boundary conditions for queer activism.
3) Gender ideology preaches to kids that if they feel uncomfortable in their bodies (part of going through puberty and adolescence) then changing your body to fit stereotypical gender roles and behaviour is the solution. Of course, most children, grow out of any sort notions of dysphoria with their bodies, often becoming normal homosexual adults. The activist is advocating for early hormone and surgical intervention to permanently mutilate a child’s physical body in an attempt to treat a mental condition – the polar opposite of ‘being themselves’.
It is work to refute the activists if they actually engage, but try to keep in mind you must always name the dynamic they are using and spell out exactly what they are arguing for. Once the truth is revealed it is painfully obvious how tenuous the activist positions are.
Of course there was a protest. Because women speaking about their rights and boundaries is a hateful activity.
Not only that, but for people who consider themselves so very much more educated and worldly than everyone else, I’m shocked, again, in retrospect, at how insulated they are — how little they seem to understand about how people in other parts of the world, other cultures, other classes, and other communities think. The CBC blinders have offered not only a political virtuousness that prevents them even wanting to see outside their bubbles, lest their purity be tarnished by a wrongthought, but has also offered a version of “facts” and “truth” that don’t adjust according to the facts and the truth.
