What the fuck has happened to society?

Something has gone horribly wrong and I am not sure there are any answers. When paedophiles are being promoted and transgender children have become social issues you know you have almost reached the end of the road. Why not just release Mark David Chapman and have him become a music show host? Your video about colleges and the 'humanities' was right too. You might as well change the courses to 'inhumanities'. Mankind is at a horrible precipice and rather than promote wholesome traditional workable values we are promoting freaks and oddities, poor parents, and unchecked migrants. Meanwhile the educational systems are full of the most peculiar and perverse propaganda propagated by communists and feminists. I just want a fair system without extremes. Like we had and that worked. These people are all entrenched. Then on the outside you have the bizarre financial system where oligarchs are free to pillage and rape at will. Then there is the obese public with a cell phone addiction drooling over reality TV and their only news being to 'Vote Hilary. She is a woman, man!' This rock should head straight into the sun right now.

The part that REALLY irks me is the fact that the people on the authoritarian right now seem to have been correct all along and those on the SJW side are intent on proving those people right by promoting that horseshit!

It started off as "we should be nicer to gay people" and everyone said "OK, yeah, I reckon we can and should do that" then it's "Gays need to be able to marry" and a few people were questioning actually how many gays want to marry but for the most part everyone says "OK, well that'll be the end of it" and then it's "I need to use whatever bathroom I want" and then it's pedophile rights and just exactly how far down this rabbit hole are we going to be pushed by these SJWs?

I'm drawing a Goddamned line with the bathrooms! Bathrooms are separated by SEX, not gender and the whole "gender is a social construct" bullshit is infuriating....Oh it's a SOCIAL construct is it? It's not ummmm evolution? It's not nature? These same people are the ones saying "The science is settled" on Anthropogenic Global Warming but apparently the science ISN'T settled on the roles of men and women in the world there are only "hate facts" such as women have less upper body strength than men....I mean I'm waiting for the fastest woman to try and race Usain Bolt or try to out swim Michael Phelps or whatever, it's just fucking ridiculous the suspension of disbelief one has to have in order to buy the bullshit SJWs are spreading!

And here's the entire Salon video....

I am a fairly left wing kind of guy and see the importance in certain social issues, but what you have now is a bunch of academics in Ivory Towers seemingly so alienated and disenfranchised from reality, that they are just bored and thinking up endlessly more bizarre ways to rile up their increasingly dumb followers into 'action'. Frankly, I think it has gone too far and Western Academia could use a purge. You need different points of view and weird ones are sometimes good to bounce off, but something has gone wrong there. There is really not all that much to research when it comes to the humanities, so in the attempt to be 'original' and at the same time pay respect to the feminist/Marxist forebears, you are getting nonsense. It's the same in economics too IMO which is also a radical ideology. Then this stuff filters through into the media which is also a set up and then you have absurd social debate about things that really do not matter.

The problem begins with people who are of the belief that transgender people have a 'sexual problem' instead of having a gender issue then associating it with some form of sexual depravity instead of a missing gene,chomosome variation, dual genitalia for some or any mixture of many other related issues.
The one issue that gets raised is sexual depravity and is not linked any more with trans people than it is among so called straight people or gay people.

Usually the ones who speak up uneducated, secretly believe others past teachings that God doesnt make mistakes even through nature and the laws governing should reflect that, so they buy into a whole belief system of basic generalizations concerning anybody out of the ordinary having some evil undertone.

The issues run much deeper than any of their judgments could imagine as you can see in the link below.

This might be naive of me, but I honestly wonder....what is the difference between the body dysmorphia (that's the technical term) that an anorexic or a body builder might have and someone who feels they have been born the wrong sex?

If an anorexic says "I need to be thinner" we don't enable them we attempt to help them. If a body builder says "I need more steroids/HGH because I need to be even bigger" again we don't enable them, we attempt to correct their views of themselves. If a CHILD says "I think I'm a boy trapped in a girl's body" or "I'm a girl trapped in a boy's body" the situation is somehow different and society tells us "We have to help this child become what they think they are inside so if they need their privates cut off or they need to go on hormone therapy we should help them with that transition"....honest to God, why is it any different?

I think if you're an adult it's one thing, but children are being put on hormone blockers, CHILDREN! I don't think it's a very good idea and honestly looking at the suicide rate of post op trans people I ASSURE you it's a bad idea.
