From Rod Dreher's Diary

PREFACE:

 Rod is spot on and I share his sentiments about this whole month of militant and evangelical Alphabet-soupism.   WOKE is a religion, the viel of totalitarism, and they mean to destoy the past and attack they very foundation that gave them freedom.  I want to beleive for manh with same sex attaraction it used to be about being free to love who you wanted and not fear violence an rejection, but after the Supreme Court permitted Same-Sex Unions, the gays got pushed aside and the Transwakos now run the bus.  The one people to end this madness are those individuals who want to be free to celebrate, but the Transwakos and militant gays have silence and intimidated them.   My 2 cents, Padre

Woke Ramadan

It’s Pride Month now, or as some of us call it, Woke Ramadan. You all know that I am no observer of this disgusting holiday. But this year, I am even more disgruntled than usual. I’ve had more than enough of it. Look:

  

Every other day or so in this space, I highlight one or more examples of the LGBT movement conquering more space in public and private life. It’s like the religion of white liberals, and corporate America. I’m old enough to remember when we were told by Andrew Sullivan and others that legalizing gay marriage would introduce bourgeois values into the gay community. Didn’t happen. In fact, the opposite happened, and the broader culture has allowed itself to become as obsessed with sex and sexuality as many LGBT people are.

If you had told normies twenty years ago where all this was headed, they wouldn’t have believed you. I know this for a fact, because I did, and was considered to be a fanatic and a bigot. I’m to the point now where I don’t expect society to say, “Enough.” But there does seem to have been a change of some sort. Look:

  

It’s the never-ending propaganda that’s doing it. I think most people by now don’t give a damn if gay and lesbian people pair up and get on with their lives. In Budapest, I see gay people walking almost every day, hand in hand, on the streets. Nobody’s going to mess with them. That’s what Sullivan et alia promised. If it had stopped there, things would be stable. But of course it didn’t. The trans thing exploded, and the same logic of individual autonomy, and sexual autonomy, kicked in. It’s insane, but people, especially educated people (always the most vulnerable to this kind of crap), accepted it as revealed truth. Now we are a society where the sexual mutilation of children is approved and encouraged by the highest authorities in the land, including the President of the United States.

This is seriously corrupt. And I see every day on social media hard evidence of the colonization of the minds of very small children by this garbage, at the hands of their teachers. We are assured by the Professional Calmers that it’s not happening, and if it is happening, it’s good that it’s happening. At this point I’m so cynical that I doubt the American people have it in them to say no. But maybe I’m wrong.

Look:

  

Who’s that, the Clyde Tolson Rangers? Ten years from now, on current trends, the national security state will have been weaponized to track down orthodox Christians and other hate-crimers who refuse to conform. If you can’t read the signs here, I don’t know what to tell you.

Maybe the Trump verdict will wake some folks up, and make them realize how state and institutional capture by the Left stands to affect anyone and everyone who dissents from what Mary Harrington calls “the Omnicause.”

In Seattle, the city is undertaking a manhunt to capture the person who defaced a Pride crosswalk. In this video, a city leader breaks down into tears over it. If they catch the guy, they’re going to charge him with a felony. A felony! And they say blasphemy laws are a thing of the past. Note well that Trump’s behavior by paying off Stormy Daniels, if it was illegal at all, was a misdemeanor — until DA Alvin Bragg used an arcane legal theory to bump it up to a felony, in this transparently unfair trial.

On that subject, read former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy’s autopsy of that political show trial. Excerpt:

If you think this was a one-off, you’ve not only missed the last 15 years of what passes for law enforcement under both the progressive-prosecutor project in America’s big blue cities and — for most of that time — Democratic Party control of the Justice Department. You’ve missed over a century of American legal devolution, during which the law was reimagined into an extortionate weapon of social “progress,” due process devolved into punitive process, and bad precedents were inevitably exploited into monstrous precedents.

What happened in Manhattan was monstrous. The fallout is the antithesis of a constitutional republic that presumes innocence, imposes the burden of proof on the state, venerates its due-process rules, and guarantees equal protection of law. The antithesis is now the norm. Regardless of what happens to Donald Trump, all of us will live to regret it.

Donald Trump is very far from an anti-gay figure. But I wonder if the serious erosion of confidence in American public institutions among his supporters, brought about by this sham trial, will transfer into a greater willingness to reject other aspects of elite rule — such as the High Holy Month Of Pride.

I’ll say it again: if you come to Budapest, what you will see, in part, is what the world looked like when gays and lesbians were a normal part of public life — Budapest is a liberal city — but did not utterly dominate it with their narcissism. Get on the train, travel 2 1/2 hours to Vienna, and you’ll see what a conquered city looks like.

(By the way, today is the feast day in the Catholic Church of St. Charles Lwanga and his companions. They were martyred in the 1880s in Uganda, for refusing the sexual advances of the lustful King of Uganda, and refusing his commands to abandon their Christian faith. The king martyred a large number of Catholics and Anglicans both. If ever there was a saint for our times, it is St. Charles Lwanga.)

It’s just the fakery of the whole progressive project, you know? This captures it well:

  

And the lies, like this one about the German cop killed the other day by the stabby Afghan “refugee”:

  

Sorry, I’m rambling. It’s that kind of morning. I have a big and very unpleasant day ahead of me, and am trying to avoid getting started.

Voltaire's birthday 11-21-1694 - A brief essay by Steve Weidenkopf

Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).

Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.

Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...

Thoughts on Alan - Updated with Alan's e-mail address

Dear ADD Irregulars,

Alan has decided to step away from our community for a while. He may return, but right now he’s in a difficult chapter of life. This past year has been especially rough for him—depression, anxiety, unemployment, and some challenging family situations.

I spoke with him briefly on Telegram. He admitted to feeling worn down, and the recent football meme hit him at exactly the wrong moment and in the wrong state of mind. He didn’t sound like he was blaming Rich, but in his current vulnerability, he experienced the exchange as unnecessarily mean-spirited. I suspect the “whiny-cunt” line cut much deeper than it normally would have.

That’s the funny and frightening thing about emotions: on a good day, that back-and-forth between Alan and Rich would have been hilarious. On a bad day, it was simply too much. No one could have known beforehand.

In Alan’s own words: “I saw it at exactly the wrong moment and it just hit me as unnecessarily mean spirited which was something I just didn't expect and am really not in a place to cope with at the moment.”

This is the danger of this medium. We log on hoping for relief or distraction, and instead we sometimes encounter something that offends, outrages, or wounds us. I feel for Alan—I know from previous conversations that this has not been a good year for him.

Let this be a reminder to all of us: Do not venture onto the internet when you’re in a state of emotional vulnerability. It rarely goes the way we hope. Pressure always seeks an escape valve, and online spaces are full of sharp edges. It is far better to talk with a real person—call someone and hear a human voice with all its nuance—than to stare at static words on a screen that you can reread over and over, each time deepening the wound.

Praying for Alan and so sorry he is at this chapter in his life. I am guessing he might be open to any of us reaching out. I don't really know.  I know he is still on telegram, but not sure how esle to contact him.

Rich, if you read this I hope you chalk it under unfortunate shit happens. On most other days that post would have generated the funny back and forth that we have seen many times in the past.  I am sure Alan would be open to any conversation with you, that is an invitation never an expectation. 

[email protected]  For anyone who might want to contact Alan.
