Sgt Mom sounds off, five by five.
Some days ago, Buck T. at Ace of Spades HQ linked to this essay regarding the great Satanic Day Care Abuse Panic, and how elements of that exercise in public/law enforcement/media insanity duplicates many of the features of the current Trans-Kids! Eleventy!!! panic. Which it does, in some respects, especially in how the establishment news media elevated the panic …because that’s what the media do: Scare the ever-living-snot out of the reading/viewing public because that is what sells issues and page views. Once the panic-train gets going, every cynical exploiter of the panic wants to leap aboard the current trend.
There are some differences, though. It’s not just so-called child-abuse therapists and ambitious law-enforcement on the make, as it eventually turned out with Satanic Panic. Now it’s a particularly vicious combine; messed-up adults wanting to generate a good supply of similarly messed up juniors so as to have their pick of sexual partners down the line, deranged parents looking for social kudos among their peers, and teens going through the awkward stage being influenced by social media to no good end. It has also been suggested in a couple of different comment threads that it’s an out for white teens and pre-teens being blamed for everything imaginable under the sun. They can climb a couple of more levels above their status as white oppressors by joining another and slightly higher class of the so-called oppressed. The current trans-fad also gives a perfect out for messed up adults to get a sexual kick out of displaying their particular kinks in front of an audience – no matter if it is their kindergarten class, the genuine women in a gym changing room or a Target bathroom. And let’s not forget how a certain class of medical specialists appear eager to ensure a long and substantial income stream, from ministering at a profit to those patients who have actually signed on to an unending round of hormones and surgery – surgeries which don’t appear from the testimonies of those unfortunates who opted for them in haste and now have repented at leisure.
As for me, my flag is nailed to the mast. One cannot change sex. It’s in your DNA, and obvious (for all but an unfortunate few) at the moment of development in the womb. Live as you want; put on a dress, grow your hair long, put on makeup and call yourself Loretta. It changes nothing about your DNA.
I’m with ya one hunnerd and ten percent on that one, Sarge. Having been well past the age of majority back when it occurred, I vividly remember the Great Satanic Panic hysteria my own self. The differences between then and now are there all right, and they’re quite real. But the biggest difference, and probably the most damaging of them in terms of societal harmony and cohesion, is that today the volume of such media-manufactured panics is greatly amplified by social media, ubiquitous cell phones and tablets, and the Innarnutz itself—where hysteria can easily travel around the globe two or three times before the truth has even had time to find its boots, much less get them on.
Another major difference looming large over all of us is that back then, the Enemedia monolith hadn’t gone wholly over to the side of Leftist delusion, deceit, and batshit insanity—or at least were a lot more cautious about putting their in-built bias proudly on display for one and all to see. Y’know, as it has now.
The idea that the two are in any way whatsoever alike is pure undiluted horseshit.
The Daycare Scam-panic was fueled by fucktarded child psychologists (but I repeat myslef) force-feeding “memories” and using Gestapo-like coercive interview techniques, filmed by half-assed “investi-liars” pimping news stories for ratings, which all turned out to be a gigantic pile of crap, without a single shred of evidence.
“Heather, tell us where the Satanic teacher dressed in red robes and a goat’s head shoved his penis into you and then made you drink other children’s blood, in the secret underground sex-torture chambers, every day for five years, even on days when school wasn’t in session…and you can go outside and play with the other children during recess.”
It was, literally, a fucking witch hunt, repeated multiple times:
McMartin preschool trial – Wikipedia
Compare and contrast with Pride Month, Drag Queen Story hours at libraries, and teachers in shrieking hysterics at not being able to sexually groom and indoctrinate five year olds.
These aren’t hysterical parents making wild accusations:
There are goddamned YouTube videos of what’s going on, FFS!
It’s literally a case of “Are you going to believe us when we tell you we’re not trying to groom your kids, or are you going to believe your own lying eyes?!?”
Morbark the entire lot of pedophiles and their enablers, then nuke them from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
Anybody bitching about doing that to them needs to be shot in the face, for openers. Then get some pipe hitters with pliers and blowtorches, and go after their families.
Sauce for the goose.
