The religion of the left, traceable back at least to the 1960’s, is unrestrained hedonism. They’re so morally and intellectually bankrupt that they are entirely unable to recognize and evaluate values beyond base urges.
Remember “if it feels good, do it”? That’s been taken to an extreme and has been elevated pretty much to their supreme value: “if it feels good, sacrifice anything and everything to do it to depraved extremes and wear your depravity as a badge of honor”
It’s the pattern with all -isms and single-issue social movements: if something is good, it’s best when taken to extremes. It’s the escalation of the signaling of “virtue” (or, probably more correctly, tribal identification, the two of which have converged) that’s not exactly new to “social media”, but is greatly catalyzed by it.
And the sad thing is, at this point, I don't think the things they're doing even feel good anymore. If they did, why would people be so angry and so depressed and so broken? Sometimes what feels good doesn't actually feel good, to paraphrase Gretchen Rubin talking about happiness.
No, I can't imagine the Constitution being written today at all. There's not enough smart people around that would care enough for others to try and write something like that for the rest of the people.
The restrictions in Europe are interesting because we are told women in America will literally DIE if there are any such restrictions on abortion. (We are told that no ob/gyn wants to take the risk of performing the procedure for real medical reasons as long as there are any restrictions.)
Then again, the narrative is also that this is a "private decision between a woman and her doctor" when we know that (at least in the U.S.) these procedures are not performed by a woman's doctor (generally) but in "clinics" where the doctors have no relationship with the women they serve, never see them before or again, and don't spend the rest of their time monitoring fetal health and delivering babies. Not your everyday ob-gyns but people who have self-selected NOT to have any personal knowledge of the women they serve or the trajectory of pregnancies that aren't terminated because they believe it's irrelevant. Is this the same in Europe, or are the people who provide abortions actually the same people who see women for routine pregnancy care and who deliver babies?
Here in Germany, there are around 800,000 births and 100,000 abortions per year. Very recently, a law prohibiting advertisement for abortions was abolished. We'll see what this is going to do to the numbers. Other than that, the topic is rarely on the table. One exception: every few months, a poor woman in Poland dies because abortions are illegal there, and the doctors were unwilling to perform one, even with clear medical indication. This is always a news item in Germany - suggesting that there is no difference between a handful of abortions where there is mortal danger present to the woman, and 100,000 abortions for convenience.
It baffles me that given the medical technology at our disposal (at least in Germany and in the U.S. but also presumably even in Poland!), as well as the fact that getting a second or even third opinion is not unusual in medicine, doctors are so fearful of being asked to defend the decision to perform a medically indicated abortion. I'd think physicians would have more to fear-- at least in our highly litigious United States-- from medical malpractice lawsuits if women were to die along with their babies because they were refused an abortion that is legal (for medical indications) in every state.
We don't know the number of medically indicated abortions in Poland. All we know are the few cases where doctors refrained from one, and these are a convenient motte to the bailey of abortion-as-contraception.
Speaking as USAian, I would agree that the Constitution (esp. the amendment section) is a great thing. What saddens me is to see the extent to which it has been disregarded in recent years. Our rights to privacy, free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, jury trial, etc. have been deemed invalid due to a made-up state of emergency. These kinds of things have a ratcheting effect: after 20 years, in airports we're still taking off our shoes, having the TSA steal our Swiss Army knives and water bottles (both have happened to me), having naked x-rays taken of us, etc. So it's difficult for me to remain hopeful that things might get better in my lifetime (I'm 67, so not a huge number of years left).
And now we have the spectacle of the same people who carry signs saying "My Body My Choice" also saying that in order to take part in normal society, I have to inject multiple doses of an experimental drug with no long-term safety data.
2 states allow "abortion" up to 28 days AFTER birth. (It might be one state with the other having the proposed law not voted on yet, but that's still too many.) Sorry, after that baby is born it's murder. Period.
I talked to some friends about the bill in california after reading a couple articles on it. I think the phrasing "it allows abortion 28 day"s after birth is not exactly true. It prevents mothers from being prosecuted for stillbirths or their baby dying soon thereafter, after a woman was sent to jail for taking drugs during her pregnancy. It's my understanding that if women purposely killed their babies after birth they would be prosecuted.
Ahhhhhh. That was not how it was presented in the stack I read. Then, since it's Kalifornia it didn't seem like something they wouldn't agree to, so I took it at face value.
I think we have to consider the mental numbing effect of the jabs, so these folks are regressing to childhood in terms of their meltdown abilities. Also, consider the effect of the mass formation, that any presented solution will be taken as THE solution, or conversly, that removing the 'solution' of abortion becomes mentally insurmountable to those jabbed whos mind will now fixate on every new problem, to the point of killing to solve it. They are comprimised. As proof, show me an unjabbed person who is freaking out and 'blowing' up over Roe v Wade. Discussing, yes, but not simply screaming. Jab compromised.
I agree with you that the polarization in the United States is largely manufactured by corporate media and social media bots. Sure, people are involved. But they're being manipulated and influenced. When people live and work near each other, and rely on one another in the winter months, those differences are tempered.
Yeah, what's the deal with the fetishes!? That is re-emerging as part of pride. It started that way decades ago as a middle finger to sexual norms that restrained, and even endangered, gay people. I think it's mostly men, you don't see many women out there mostly naked. Although I don't think I'll ever forget a woman I saw at the dyke march the night before the pride parade in my 20s. She was topless and was able to move her shoulders in a way that one of her breasts swung clockwise and the other counterclock wise. 🤣 I guess everyone has a hidden talent. Otherwise the dike march had 10 thousand women pretty much fully clothed.
I'm concerned about the wide availability of porn on people of all orientations. I don't know if this is contributing. I saw a documentary about "hookup" culture of young straight people. It made me so sad to see a sexual act detached from any real connection and intimacy. And promoted as if that were something to strive towards, a good thing. 🥺
While murder is murder, the new SC decision seems to be geared toward creating more divisions among Americans.
It also serves as a red herring, diverting attention from Americans being slowly, but steadily exterminated by orders of magnitude more than abortions (of course, a single life taken is exactly as evil as a million; God doesn't play dice with the Universe).
Moreover, once the food riots start, "law-abiding citizens" might become a teeny bit more violent, if they have small children...
It looks like a "super AI" is implementing every single move on the path the the NWO...
Girls might want to realize they are not in a movie, so they might want to consider mutual love before they decide to make love with someone.

Absolutely.

What state is that?
I think it's either NY or MD and CA to vote on it. I read it in a stack a month or so ago.

I enjoyed reading that, thank you. I'm sharing your thoughts on the matter too
(as non American and a woman).
