The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The unintended consequences of an out-of-control Democrat party being dominated by its most radical elements is something that is by its nature unpredictable, but can be guessed at by anyone with a passing familiarity with American history. It is a common theme in our country...the pendulum swings far past what makes political, social or cultural sense, and the anti-human, anti-nature policies that are now enshrined in the Democrat platform are antithetical to what a large majority of Americans believe.

The Supreme Court has spoken about Roe v. Wade, and has returned the question to the states. It is a huge decision, but it was arrived at according to the legal structure of our government, and there are ample methods for its opponents to get what they want...legally.

But they cannot abide the process when it doesn't support every one of those insane policies, so they immediately resort to what is essentially the Brown-Shirting of America.

Here is a Harvard Law instructor advocating exactly the sort of behavior that she shrieks about and curls up into a fetal position when it is directed at the Bien Pensants of the left.

The 6 justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again. It is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. They are pariahs. Since women don't have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again.

-- Alejandra Caraballo

This is beyond the pale. Yet on the left there is no introspection, no questioning of the tactics, no sense that there is some behavior that is inappropriate in a functioning constitutional republic. The ends justify the means, and nothing will stand in their way, be it the lives of nine-month-old fetuses or the safety of our supreme court justices or the innocence of our six-year-olds in public schools or the biological differences between men and women.

And that's how we get this!

How A Normal Person Gets Radicalized [Nurse Ratched]

I considered myself somewhat progressive on many social issues up until about 7 years ago. Things changed.
I got my first birth control pills from Planned Parenthood back in the 80s. I was not promiscuous, but I also was not a perfect angel. And I knew I didn’t want to get pregnant. So, I took my pills and used condoms and didn’t get pregnant.
As I reached my 30s and had my children, I tried to keep somewhat neutral. My personal belief that life begins at conception could be argued, and for those believing otherwise, well if they wanted to terminate a pregnancy for whatever reason in the first trimester, well, that’s up to them.
Fast forward to the 2020s. Now, there is no grey area. I can’t be pro choice unless I support third trimester abortions. I have to support partial birth abortions. I have to give a nod to abortion even after a baby is born. And no one is ever allowed to consider choosing life…… because, that’s not abortion.
The pro choice crowd has radicalized abortion. They are burning down and vandalizing crisis pregnancy centers. They are spray painting churches. They scream and spit and tell me I hate women and want women to die.
So, now I’m a radical pro lifer. No abortion, not ever. For any reason. No IUDs. No emergency contraception. I’ve been radicalized. No grey area.
This concept of radicalization carries over to the gay agenda. I used to attend the Pride Parade in Seattle. It was up on Capitol Hill, it was fun and happy and family friendly, honestly. I thought gays were an odd bunch, fun to party with and go out dancing, but never obnoxious or disgusting. At least not in public. And my gay friends behaved like normal people. They went to work, and went to parties and danced and fell in love and had dramatic break ups. They had nieces and nephews and younger siblings who they loved and protected and doted on…
Now? Their lives have been taken over by radicals who are not interested in being a part of society. They want to sexualize every aspect of everything. They want to offend you. They want to pervert love and beauty and any and every relationship. If you aren’t pro tranny, well, you’re anti gay. And therefore a hater. And you should lose your job. “But wait, I just don’t want adults talking about gender identity to my 6 year old!” Nope, you’re a hater. “A drag queen in every classroom! I just don’t think that’s a great idea and would confuse kids.” Nope, you’re a hater, and you’re homophobic to boot!
So, now I guess I’m anti gay. Rescind gay marriage. Get back in the closet. Throw groomers in jail for pedophilia. Let’s start throwing people off buildings. See, I can be a radical too. You taught me how to hate. No grey area.

The socialists radicalize everything for political profit.

This is how as a kid growing up, my black friends and my whites friends all got along, laughed, fought, cried, drank, fell in love with girls, and just enjoyed life but today, race relations are at an all time low.

Liberals destroy everything. They are the borg. Assimilate or die.

The people being radicalized on the left don't know they are political pawns, or as Stalin called them, useful idiots.

They think this is all some great political movement, akin to the civil rights era or ending the Vietnam conflict.

The left will hound Kav out of a restaurant. But we would never do that. Because we are better than that or some such nonsense. And this is why the left always wins in the long run.

Even Trump the supposed great fighter didn't get it and still doesn’t. To the very end he was still open to deals with the left.

Absolutely. I have had this observation, too, Nurse (and it's nice to see a rant from you). The "pro-choice" crowd made it all about absolutes. The "I am discomforted by or opposed to abortion, but I think we should talk about it and am willing to compromise even if I disapprove" camp is the majority of people. Not even Democrats generally like the idea of abortion-on-demand up to the moment of birth, but their radical base does demand that and rejects any nuance.

But when nuance is killed - and it has been - the choice becomes binary. If the only workable framework becomes "all or nothing" then "nothing" is going to get a lot more support, and the harsher the binary becomes the more this will be true.

---------------------------

Well, it depends a bit on your house. Somewhere inside your house (usually in the basement, if you have one), you should be able to find the pipe that runs to the outdoor spigot. If you trace back from that, you should find a valve not too far away. Close that, and the water stops flowing to the spigot.

41 Right there with Nurse on the gay issue. Spent a lot of time at drag shows and the gay scene in general in my late teens and early twenties. Had a pretty good number of close friends that were gay. Fell away from that after college since, you know, I had a job.

Got a few peeks at how that scene was changing years later and in the last 7 or 8 years have become more and more disgusted. No person should be defined by what they do in the bedroom. It is sad that so many WANT to be defined that way and eschew any sense of decency in protecting children in public.

49 The other side of radicalization is they don't know how radical they've become.

All of their sources of information have systematically excluded contrary, uncomfortable and, often, truthful information.

When they do stumble out of their sanitized hothouse, they run screaming back to their womb, where they are assured the truth is a lie, racist, homophobic, bigoted, etc.

They have no idea its not just a few thousand conservatives, Republicans. It's millions and millions. That fact is completely unknown to them.

I don't think this is quite right. It goes way beyond an absence of consequences. They have been pushing for years into greater and greater radicalism and been rewarded for it. With every push, they get more power, wealth and influence. With each suppression of opposition, they become more convinced that they have a mandate and continue further and at a faster pace.

The opposition hasn't been destroyed, it's just been bottled up. When the cap flies off, it will get ugly fast.

Doesn't have to be a rape-impregnated 10 year old - I still think that a woman should be able to abort in the first trimester.

I've facilitated 2 abortions in my life (never been pregnant myself). One was a college roommate, and the other was for my 16-year-old brother and his 17 year-old girlfriend. Ironically, I think my brother's life would have been vastly better (and his girlfriend's) if they had married and gone through with raising the child. 20/20 hindsight.

Censorship at scale is a dangerous game for exactly this reason. When you silence your opposition, you cannot know what they think. It looks calm and great and like everything is going your way, but it isn't - you just have no way to know that. It creates an intelligence vacuum. If you're a fool, you think there is no opposition. If you're smart, you know that there is opposition but you don't know exactly what they are opposed to or how to deal with it.

And then something totally unexpected and often fairly minor ends up blowing up your entire system. Romania is a great example of that. The routine and normal oppression of a priest - something totally common and not at all notable - was the last straw and before he knew it, ole' Nicolai was dead in a schoolhouse.

And yet no one has learned from this. At a culture, and even as the "right side" of that culture we do not learn from previous mistakes and it is infuriating.

83 It's funny. Everyone that is for abortion has already been born.

They never ask the unborn.

To be fair, the communication skills of the unborn aren't quite up to par.

Perhaps we should wait until such time as they can communicate effectively and then inquire as to if they would prefer to be aborted.

Guilt loves and needs company, to normalize their crimes. Whether it's the killing in abortion, or the lie of transgenderism. This is why all must participate, you will not convict yourself. Medical professionals must NOT be given the conscience option, you must participate in abortion, you must prescribe hormones, you must be complicit, or some might feel guilty and we must have a consequence free, guilt free society, and an evil one.

99 These past few years have been quite eye-opening. I guess I always knew "politics ain't beanbag," but I naively assumed people played tough, but relatively "fair"...different worldview lenses perceive things differently, and clever speechcraft can do powerful things with some good rhetorical spin...

...but it seems to me that things just keep ratcheting upwards, and "spin" has taken a backseat to outright lies..and cruel ones at that. I kind of wondered how people saw fascism in the bravado of Trump, or a call to violence in the word "peaceful",or hate in the fact that I didn't want to explain the joys of deviant sex to my young children. I thought it odd that people would tell such pernicious fiction...in order to demonize the people they shared this space with, no less... and I wondered how it even entered their minds.

As people have lashed out with such nastiness spite, and, I'd say, hatefulness and I see the "brown-shirt" tendencies to destroy the institutions and people they despise, I guess I'm starting to understand (maybe) why some of the seemingly off-the-wall ideas were so close to the forefront of their minds.

109 Nothing surprising here. NR's default position is Progressivism. I read that a long time ago.

What's interesting is all the Progressive Doctor Frankensteins who spent decades building their monsters have unleashed those monsters upon us, and now they want to tell us how the experience has changed them and turned them away from having monsters.

Oh, they're still building those monsters, they just don't like having them. The monsters were supposed to kill the rest of us, not be a nuisance to their creators. Well, fuck you, NR.

This reads exactly like Bari Weiss' column about how awful all the little monsters at the NYT are - monsters she spent decades helping to create. Just go to Hell already.

What makes me crazy is these assholes act like they regret the current situation, but if you talk to them for 5 minutes, you'll hear them give you all the same types of solutions that got us into this mess in the first place. When you spend your life thinking about the world a certain way, it carves pathways in your brain. All thoughts begin to fall into the same pathways which lead to the same conclusions.

Screw that. Make them actually own their position that precedent is all that matters. Take it out of their sphere of agitation and use a different example that would actually make them *extremely* uncomfortable to answer. Don't mention Roe or Dobbs at all.

157 I've been a primary-issue pro-life voter my entire adulthood. It is not my only issue, but a candidate had to get over this one to even be considered. I am absolutist on banning elective abortions. I will grant the safety of the mother exception because it is selfdefensive in nature. Nothing in law or ethics requires a person to sacrifice themselves for another, though we properly laud such people as heroes, we cannot require it. Beyond this, abortion is a great evil that a civilized people should not tolerate.

158 OT. new trailer for rings of (woke) power.

I've sort of bought into the notion that the rings of power ultimately symbolize government.

They give you power over men (or elves or whatever) at the cost of corrupting you. If you embrace that power you end up becoming a vile hollow shell driven just to maintain that power at any cost.

159 as I am a bit of a contrarian...
This is beyond the pale. Yet on the left there is no introspection, no questioning of the tactics, no sense that there is some behavior that is inappropriate in a functioning constitutional republic. The ends justify the means, and nothing will stand in their way, be it the lives of nine-month-old fetuses or the safety of our supreme court justices or the innocence of our six-year-olds in public schools or the biological differences between men and women.

Imma going to remind everyone of this incident:

Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson and his wife were leaving dinner at a new pizza joint near their home in Omaha one night last week when a patron began complaining about Nelson's decisive vote in favor of the Senate's health care bill. Other customers started booing. A woman yelled, "Get him the hell out of here!"
Ben was an R Senator. And a fucking RINO. And a turncoat to the views he espoused. But. He and his family WERE run out of a restaurant. And I recall being on that Ace thread on the topic, and I had no problem with it then.

My sister corrected me to "human" over and over again, and I kept saying that either "man" or "human" was correct. We went on like that for a while, her "correcting" me over and over, and me maintaining that my use of the word "man" was correct and acceptable.

I knew a gay guy in college in the 90s who insisted gay marriage was a dumb idea because the point of being gay was the cock carousel.

If her body could get pregnant, then she can carry the baby to term. Taking by c-section would be safe. The whole situation is cruel, but if they illegal alien hadn't been in the country, then this child wouldn't be a victim. How was he able to rape her twice or more?

There are a lot of people at fault. There are 2 babies in this scenario and they are both victims.

I was conversing with an IT director on a highly technical subject. I referenced a control system as "Master/Slave", because it is. The slave unit NEVER initiates communication. It ALWAYS waits for the master unit to query it, and then to pull the data from it. That's the definition of Master/Slave in Industrial Controls.

This Woke dumbfuck responds with, "Uh, I think we should call that 'Parent/Child'"

I just said, "No, that's stupid. It's a Master/Slave relationship," and went on with the conversation. She didn't have the intestinal fortitude to argue.

248 Yeah, want to know why I started to care about Race and Sex? The US Navy decided in the 80's that they were going to use 'quotas' for advancement. They looked at my job and OH THE HORROR, 95% or the upper ranking Electronic Techs in the Navy were White Males! Oh no!

So they decided they would promote Minorities and Women, to somehow make it so they were more represented! Problem? 95% of the entire work force of Electronic Techs in the Navy? Yeah... White Males.

For Chief Petty Officer, the promotion board in DC would make three piles of records... Blacks, Women, Everyone else. Then they would select X amount of Blacks, and X amount of Women, to promote... you could be a brain dead Woman, or Black, and get promoted....

Well... the TENTH time I was passed over for promotion... and watched who WAS promoted? I was done. People who had never even BEEN TO A FUCKING SHIP... would not be telling me what to do? Luckily Clinton was drawing down the armed forces, so I could retire early.

But THAT is what made me care about Race, and Sex. When I was legally discriminated against.... because White and Male.

290 Things changed when abortion became Big Abortion and billions of dollars were being made exploiting mostly scared, confused, and often poor young women. In the 1970s, I believe abortion got its start when a bunch of young activists were restless and bored and needed a cause. "Hey, what about this abortion thing? Sure, why not?" But then the money began flowing. If you want to maximize your revenue from a Thing, you must ensure that Thing is popular and widely available with no restrictions.

296 Nonetheless for long it seemed to the Númenóreans that they prospered, and if they were not increased in happiness, yet they grew more strong, and their rich men ever richer. For with the aid and counsel of Sauron they multiplied their possessions, and they devised engines, and they built ever greater ships. And they sailed now with power and armory to Middle-earth, and they came no longer as bringers of gifts, nor even as rulers, but as fierce men of war. And they hunted the men of Middle-Earth and took their goods and enslaved them, and many they slew cruelly upon their altars. For they built in their fortresses temples and great tombs in those days; and men feared them, and the memory of the kindly Kings of the ancient days faded from the world and was darkened by many a tale of dread.” ~ The Silmarillion, Akallabêth

325 Anyone with the power to make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire

Insisting abortion isn't ending a human life is absurd, it naturally leads to the extremism we see. The vociferous and passionate defense of third trimester abortion, attacking not just opponents, but folks quietly supporting disadvantaged mothers who choose to have a child.

It also leads to mass shootings etc. One can't argue that human life is precious given the reality of acceptance of abortion in this country. If human life can be ended at the whim of another, it is cheap indeed. Why would a young man see it as precious, why wouldn't a troubled young men see ending life based on his whims is no different.

It's hard to believe that a group that has been so powerful for so long can die off like this, but nothing goes on forever. All things have their day, and sooner or later they fall and are destroyed.

Their positions have not really changed my beliefs (which are that abortion is not something anyone should do but that prior to heartbeat there is no chance of viability and so is legally tolerable), but they have changed my positions. There is no room for negotiation anymore, so there is no point in negotiating. Their position of "any restriction is intolerable and therefore we reject it out of hand" has forced my hand. The only way that I can see to overcome the logjam is to just push for a general ban since there are no middle positions at this point. I think a heartbeat law is my preferred position, but in an all-or-nothing game, I'm going for nothing. That is a transactional adjustment to my position driven by their position.

364 I look at people like Guy Benson, Brandon Straka, and Dave Rubin who are all gay and don't flaunt their sexuality as that's not what defines them. I enjoy listening to them and never really think of them as gay.

It's also been amazing to watch Dave Rubin's transformation. He moved from California to Florida and for the first time registered as a Republican.

If you look at population growth models of humans over time, natural infant mortality was often enough to put a population in decline. Now, infant mortality is low, but we replaced it with abortion and people aren't having as many kids as they used to. And most first world countries are in decline.

I was talking 1st cousin marriages. Looking in old marriage records in Mexico, the Catholic Church kept track for cosanguinuity, but would mostly allow if 1st cousins (e.g. 2nd degree consanguiniuty).

381 Excellent post, Nurse.

What really chaps me now is that the frustrated Left has decided to take this war into professional societies that not long ago tried to be apolitical and focus on their specialty concerns. My own medical specialty society is being harangued from within by progressives screaming about "reproductive health" and how if we remain neutral we're endorsing teenagers dying from septic abortions in some back alley. And my specialty DOESN'T DIRECTLY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH PROVIDING ABORTIONS. But you have to bend the knee and bow before Moloch, cuz women's "rights" and abortion on demand, ya know.

When I pointed out that SCOTUS didn't outlaw it, just returned the question to the states (properly, IMO), one of my colleagues implicitly accused me of being a racist and "passing judgment" on poor women. Told her in so many words that 1) I've cared for more scumbags, addicts, criminals, and idiots than I can count over my career, no questions asked, 2) I have every right to take a principled conscience stand against what violates MY oath as an MD to "do no harm," including unrestricted abortion and euthanasia. So there!

387 @341 "The left pretends that abortion has no consequences for society, but as you point out, it has corrosive, evil, probably existential consequences!"

Particularly given how prevalent abortion has been/is.

From ~1975- 1999 in this country, per the CDC- there was one abortion for every 3 live births. So ~25% died in the womb. Over 3 times the D-Day casualties at Ohama beach. More than the US Submarine service losses in WWII (20%). Worse odds than Russian Roulette.
Currently, it's about 1 abortion for 5 live births. So, double the rate of casualties at Omaha Beach, a bit better than the WWII submarine service, but the same odds as Russian Roulette.

Live is indeed cheap in the US.

392 >Nonetheless for long it seemed to the Númenóreans that they prospered, and if they were not increased in happiness, yet they grew more strong, and their rich men ever richer. For with the aid and counsel of Sauron they multiplied their possessions, and they devised engines, and they built ever greater ships. And they sailed now with power and armory to Middle-earth, and they came no longer as bringers of gifts, nor even as rulers, but as fierce men of war. And they hunted the men of Middle-Earth and took their goods and enslaved them, and many they slew cruelly upon their altars. For they built in their fortresses temples and great tombs in those days; and men feared them, and the memory of the kindly Kings of the ancient days faded from the world and was darkened by many a tale of dread.” ~ The Silmarillion, Akallabêth

Yes that feels like Howard even if Tolkien wrote it. I said to someone on twitter that the wealth of Númenór was great, but it was on borrowed time just like all the other gifts. A poor and hungry nation is the future of one so sinful and profane, assuming the ocean doesn't drink them first.

Now? Their lives have been taken over by radicals who are not interested in being a part of society. They want to sexualize every aspect of everything. They want to offend you."

A lot of gays and a non-trivial amount of trannies feel the same way about this. This is because the left has hijacked them as interest groups; some of these people have sold their souls for head-pats from commies. And it doesn't help that many on the right don't see or understand what is going on and played the assigned boogeyman role... Sadly, I think it's too late to walk things back.

There are still fruits and nuts with the strength of conviction to side with non-lefties, but obviously they tend to keep a low profile. The key thing to understand there though is that everything to the left is a tool, a transition - they are destroying in order to rebuild into their neofeudalist crapsack world. It is a wholly empty ideology.

412 I'm with Nurse Ratched. I never had a problem with homosexuality. I tell people it's because I read too many Mary Renault novels as a kid. I thought Roe v. Wade was okay. When I was young, I remember reading about both women dying of botched back alley abortions and Thalidomide babies. I never considered abortion becoming the first line of contraception or abortion past the first couple of weeks beyond a woman discovering she was pregnant. And all the gays I knew might have been a little on the flamboyant now and again, but they never demanded that I change the sex of my kids.

All of that has changed. Like Nurse, my more liberal leanings have been backed into a mean, dark corner.

Very well said and my friends who are liberal(but I didn't ask who they voted for) prayed and inquired after me when I was sick-which I appreciated and are kind and helpful and generous people. I just occasionally through in comments such as when the mask requirement was on in NYC two years ago, "We feel safer because you can't go in restaurants without a mask." I didn't ask "How do the little germies know it's safe to come back when you're eating?" I just said, "Well, I'm glad I'm not in NYC then with that requirement." and my smart friend gets the point that we disagree,

The royals of Europe were able to become so inbred since that stratum of society is like a few hundred people.

We can tell the peasants weren't as inbred for a number of reasons. One is the absence of issues seen in their royalty or in the Middle East or Africa. Another is that the Church implemented different laws at different times and places according to what they were dealing with (that is the more normative inbreeding was, the less strict the laws). Most of Europe makes it through the program to a fair amount of related marriages being banned. Indians in the Americas were banned (by the Church) from marrying brothers and sisters when it was colonized.

There's different degrees of relation and the Church did a lot of record keeping to sort these things out.
