When did what used to be considered “freakish” and “abnormal” become completely socially acceptable, while at the same time what used to be considered “normal” is now socially unacceptable and labeled as being hate-ist?
We’re berated to be tolerant of everything except what used to be accepted social norms. Meanwhile, being CIS anything is met with intolerance.
One example, people will defend one’s right to burn the flag, but not the right to proudly fly one.
Why are traditional American values, the ideals and principles and norms our country were built upon, now socially unacceptable?
How did we get here? Is this really a good thing?

Non-judgementalism (“there’s no superior culture or way of life – Somalian and American cultures are both equally important”) + victim shield (which can be claimed out of thin air, as the mere attempt of casting doubts on the victim status will by itself considered an offence). They are caused by Western liberalism and Christian cultural tradition.
Coalition of fringes is easy to manipulate. They are prone to group-think – almost cult like – and easily form caucuses, especially if you keep them anxious (hence all the “racists” and “sexists” flying around), so ruling party supports them. It’s much easier to make some pro-gay/pro-trans declaration – securing moral high ground and “progressivist” badge – to get some fringe votes that it’s to get the manufacturing jobs back from China to get some blue collar votes. And the fringes, they get the grants for activists, fast tracks/affirmative action to Unis and a general status of a “more equal” citizen, who can punish anyone by crying victim to authorities at any moment etc – so it is a good symbiosis.
The “normal” people – well, we have to shut up and pay our taxes to fund this, because we are already a minority when it comes to casting ballots.
Gradual dissolution of state (especially welfare part) will turn this around.
When spelling became unimportant in grade school.
When they stopped handing out tickets for jay-walking.
When draft dodgers who went ROTC (right out to Canada) were held up as brave and pardoned.
When we stopped holding people accountable.
When thirsty simping men gave women the right to vote in vain hopes of getting laid.
When supposed good friends ditched us when we reconciled with self improvement on both parts rather than divorcing. “we cant handle the drama” was the excuse.
Drama? Announcing we were saving a 25 year marriage and moving back in together?
Yup Inverted all right
Which is only good in 4 gee dive with a Mig 28.
I would say that it has a lot to do with the ascent of feminism. Another blogger pointed out that the combination of being white, straight, Christian, and male wins the jasckpot. No one will defend those attributes. It is the revers. It is opehn season on them year round and there are no restrictions to weapons.
RPG pointed out that patriotism is unpopular. Spawny, a UK subject, notied it over there too. I think that it may be worse in the Anglosphere than anywhere else. Even feminist Sweden is not that bad. Here is a video of a very popular Swedish band opening with the national anthem.
Horseman,
Since the Navy handed over Miramar to the Marines and moved the schoo; to Fallon, they have imposed a five dollar penalty for all Top Gun references.
Fuzzie – one of my all-time fav movies!
Ame,
I love the opening.
“How did we get here?”
we denied absolute truth for situational/feelz ‘truth’ … we, as a society, decided if it individually felt right or wrong, then it must be so … and that if it feels right for me or if it feels wrong for me, then that’s okay, because it’s *my* truth, so that makes it everyone’s truth. so rather than living by an objective standard, you have people running crazy creating all their own truths and realities that are far from either true or real.
“Is this really a good thing?”
no, but it is the consequences of the choices made. what is conceived must give birth … and it’s pretty ugly.

Powell believes so strongly in divorce that he says it is a sin to encourage unhappy wives to stay married with the hope that things will improve. He explains in The Secret Things of God:

Farm Boy – i can’t even read dalrock’s full post. that powell guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a liar, and full of b.s.
I think it is great that Dalrock is exposing these people for what they are. There is a problem, though. Where are the devout to go?
