Agreed. It's absolutely a distraction issue. As long as you're not hurting or affecting me, you cut off or attach whatever you want to/from your body.
As for pronouns and whatnot.. I've still not ever been told by someone that they insist I call them something that's not terribly obvious. I guess what I find laughable is the Youtube overreaction videos of transpeeps yelling at others "You will respect my pronouns", etc.
If you ever yelled that at me or my family, I'd probably turn around and walk away from you, quietly judging you on many levels. Because, you're being a dick...
for what is it a distraction though?
substantive conversation regarding the seven countries we're currently bombing, the effects of an exploding debt (and our unfunded liabilities), the Federal Reserve's policies which inflate away the value of our currency, actual policy debate over anything.
Divide and Rule
haha I like the theory but this also suggests a larger conspiracy right? Who initiates this? A group of people come together one day and say 'listen, we need a new thing to distract the public. How about we stir them up a little against each other by disproportionally giving voice to the LGBT community.' Or how would a conversation like that occur according to you?
Not a single entity. I believe news networks stir it up because it's much easier to get a no-talent teleprompter reader with opinions to talk about LGBT rights, or 'muh transphobes', than it is to explain mortgage-backed securities and inflation of money through quantitative easing.
Ok but is you suggest it is a tactic of divide and rule there must be a entity, someone or some people that execute that tactic. If not it is just human nature your talking about and not a strategy.
PC is a form of Cultural Marxism. It is also very 1984 George Orwellian with Double Think mentalities.
true
How do you inflate away the value of something that is valueless in the first place? Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) over 50 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.
Smart man...The Federal Reserve is neither Federal, nor does it have "reserves." They create money out of nothing and coerce with Big Government to enforce it as "legal tender." Unfortunately, it hurts the middle and lower class the most. We have to pay direct taxes and the hidden tax of inflation.
