Can you give me 2 examples where an opinion you have wasn't fed to you by mainstream media?
Not interested. If I've given you an opinion, it's my opinion. Whether someone else shares my opinion is beyond my control and I couldn't give a shit less who does or doesn't agree with it.
Has it ever occurred to you that the reason certain news is considered "mainstream" is because there are lots of people out there who agree with it?
No one is defending this, read my posts.
Many are, genuinely. I can show you if you want. Some were in the very parade in the article you sarcastically replied to TWS posting.
Show me where in my post I defended the behavior or individuals you listed.
What's the problem then?
No child dresses slutty merely because they saw a drag queen do it. If they decided to copy the drag queens style the impulses were already there. Perhaps instead of blaming the drag queen, you should ask yourself why the child found that particular style appealing in the first place.
But if the kindergarten and later school(s) you send them to surprise-attack them with drag queens coming to read them books about gay intimacy (full tongue kissing and touching in it) and giggle and the children are scolded by the teacher if they find it weird or offputting, it conditions them to conform and see that as the way to be.
Show me where this is actually happening. In real life.
Do you support showing porn to children? Where do you draw the line and why do you draw it?
I draw the line in probably most of the same places as you do, although I'm probably a little more lenient because I don't believe in shielding my kids from the world that they will in fact be exposed to in time.
Especially in today's world of information, you can't shield them from life, trying to will only alienate them from you as they venture off on their own. I'd rather they be exposed to things while they're still looking to me for guidance, cause we all know once they hit their mid teens that's over.
With that said, no of course I wouldn't support kindergartners being read books about gay intimacy, but I'm also not ok with the political right pretending that this is some wide spread phenomenon happening all over the country in some left wing conspiracy to turn your kids gay. There's no evidence of anything like this, which is what makes it so obvious that generally speaking, this is a political movement ultimately based in fear and bigotry.
We don't have to jump off the deep end. Just as I support the black lives matter movement and would argue we're not all being treated equally, I can also recognize that the narrative of the police as some evil white supremecy gang itching to kill black people all supported by anecdotal evidence of some white cop shooting some unarmed black guy - is absurd and not reflective of real life. We don't need to paint everyone with the same brush.
