Readin', Writin', & Wreckin' Civilization

In less enlightened times they used to call a group of witches a "coven." Nowadays the preferred nomenclature is "teachers' union." In Los Angeles, the witches have 

adopted a radical gender-theory curriculum encouraging teachers to work toward the “breakdown of the gender binary,” to experiment with gender pronouns such as “they,” “ze,” and “tree,” and to adopt “trans-affirming” programming to make their classrooms “queer all school year” (Rufo).

Teachers are given workshops and presentations on a range of key subjects such as 

“breaking the [gender] binary,” providing children with “free gender affirming clothing,” understanding “what your queer middle schooler wants you to know,” and producing “counter narratives against the master narrative of mainstream white cis-heteropatriarchy society.” 

If a boy or girl is unsure of zir gender, any choice is acceptable except for the actual one:

[S]chools can facilitate a child’s transition from one gender to another without notifying parents. And the district is far from neutral: it actively celebrates sexual identities such as “pansexual,” “sexually fluid,” “queer,” “same-gender-loving,” and “asexual,” and gender identities such as “transgender,” “genderqueer,” “agender,” “bigender,” “gender nonconforming,” “gender expansive,” “gender fluid,” and “two-spirit.”

With witches it always comes back to religion. We'll come back to it as well in a moment, since they started the fight.

The narrative follows the standard academic slop: white, cisgender, heterosexual men have built a repressive social structure, divided the world into the false binary of man and woman, and used this myth to oppress racial and sexual minorities. Religion, too, is a mechanism of repression....

Proof once again that man cannot not be religious; or, if one rejects normative religion, an abnormal one will rush in to fill the void. This is certainly one of the underlying appeals of leftism, which is so strongly associated with irreligiously. 

Big Education is pretty big. The biggest non-governmental educational structure in the world is funded by the Catholic church, which still has an antiquated view on the question of gender -- the one that prevailed from the emergence of mankind until about five minutes ago. In fact, the Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel was the founder of modern genetics, so he certainly shares blame for the widespread belief in biology. 

In the book Witches, Feminism, and the Fall of the West, Dutton adopts a purely sociobiological view of religion, such that he considers it a functional adaptation irrespective of whether or not God exists. He claims that it is about 0.4 heritable, and that "higher religiousness is associated with higher fertility and with better physical and mental health."

Apparently, knowing which sex you are somehow facilitates reproduction. Who would have guessed? "Be fruitful and multiply" is a prime directive of both biology and religion, not Be ye fruitcakes and multiple genders

Dutton further notes that religiousness has a 0.3 correlation with "overall health," but this modest figure is somewhat reduced because of a positive correlation between extreme religiosity and severe mental illnesses such as bipolar and schizophrenia. Control for these nutcases and the health correlation is significantly higher. 

Fr. Spitzer cites psychiatric evidence that irreligious people have

significantly higher rates of suicide, depression, impulsivity, aggression, familial tensions, and substance abuse by comparison with the religiously affiliated.... Religiously unaffiliated subjects had significantly more lifetime suicide attempts and more first-degree relatives who committed suicide than subjects who endorsed a religious affiliation.

Moreover, 

Unaffiliated subjects were younger, less often married, less often had children, and had less contact with family members. Furthermore, subjects with no religious affiliation perceived fewer reasons for living, particularly fewer moral objections to suicide. In terms of clinical characteristics, religiously unaffiliated subjects had more lifetime impulsivity, aggression, and past substance use disorder.

Back to Dutton, he proposes that "Those who have mutations of the body are very likely to have mutations of the mind, leading to ways of thinking that are fitness-damaging." And beginning with Second Wave Feminism in particular, we have seen the rise of a cohort of crazy and dysfunctional women: "These people and their followers are modern-day witches" who act against, and convince other to act against, their genetic interests:

such feminists, like witches, are in comparison to non-feminist women, more likely to be single, childless, low in pro-social personality traits, irreligious, and physically unattractive, which is consistent with the relationship between physical and mental mutation. 

On the positive side, "like witches, they also tend to be shunned by males," so, while it may take a few generations, it seems they will eventually breed themselves out of existence, so thank God and Darwin for that. Meanwhile we will have to put up with them, but what if we as a civilization can't survive their infiltration and increasing dominance of our institutions? 

A strong military is one of the few necessary functions of government, and at the moment ours is suffering a crisis of recruitment. Is there any wonder why? No man wants to be bossed around by a bunch of trannies, perverts, sissies, and witches, nor did any man ever risk his life to make the world safe for non-conforming two-spirt genderqueers. And if he did, he would apologize immediately.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for the breakdown of binary gender.

What a sick joke. The poor in genetic, psychological, and spiritual fitness will always be with us, but if we put them in charge of our children and our military, then not only do we have no one but ourselves to blame for the decline and extinction of our civilization, but we probably deserve it.

It occurs to me, the language they always use in these radical utopian schemes is full of weasel words they use in an ambiguous way: "breaking the gender binary," "queering the narrative," or "smashing the patriarchy."

But what they actually mean is breaking, queering and smashing individual human beings, in this case one class of impressionable kids at a time, destroying who they are by nature and by right in order to remake them into something other than human. But being only human themselves, when they remake a person the result is always necessarily less than human. What would be left of a person left in the care of such creatures? An amorphous, ambiguous, spineless amoeba, perhaps? Something ruled by the most primitive parts of its brain, incapable of thinking higher than immediate gratification?

Fitness damaging, indeed.

According to Ace, the gendersmashers are claiming dinosaurs now, so I guess maybe they're aiming for reptilian-brained status, which is silly because I'm pretty sure reptiles are never confused about their sexuality.

A central feature of the left is always logophobia -- attack the word, kill the spirit:

"The left is a lexicographical tactic more than an ideological strategy."

File under It is not when it fails to meet its promises, but does what it promises to do, that the true failure of the left is obvious: The Left should be ecstatic that Joe Biden has given them everything they wanted.

And they're getting it good and hard. I wonder if they'll ever learn, or just keep doubling down? My guess is the latter, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure the diabolical is implicated, which always results in an inversion -- and ultimately negation -- of the structure of reality. In any event, it will always be with us.

From this new book by Charles Upton:

"Hell is not a neutral chaos but an inverted order; not a loveless indifference but an attack upon Love; mot a stupid impermeability to metaphysical Truth but a swift, ingenious, and infernally 'intelligent' war upon Truth. As a parasite on order, evil forms its own counterfeit order, chaotic in essence but nonetheless marshaled onto a semblance of order through naked power."

I've been in the woods, the past 4 days. As always, it was peaceful. No electricity, the only sounds I heard, were birds, rising trout in the dark of the night, sugar gliders disturbing the trees in the wee hours of the morning, and the wind in the trees. Coming back and cruising around the internet inspires me to leave for the woods once again, and soon. I saw no witches, and even if I did, it was only in their minds.

There exists a wise ignorance: that which chooses what it is ignorant of.
