Leftist ideologues deny observable reality in deference to dogma.
On Climate:
People who use fear to generate political capital claim that global warming is dangerous and is primarily caused by human emissions of CO2. The solution, they claim, is to authorize a central world authority with the power to regulate humanity’s “carbon footprint.” Both premises on which they base this outlandish proposal are observably false. Both premises DENY key scientific EVIDENCE of a naturally-occurring pattern of global climate fluctuation observable in the fossil record.
- Examination of fossil records shows evidence of periodic ice-age conditions followed by warming periods – a pattern which long preceded human industrial-age activity.
- Examination of fossil records shows that CO2 levels fail to correspond to the warming phase of these cycles. Rather, the presence of abundant CO2 has been attended by expanding speciation and range among plants; the foundation of the food chain.
- Examination of fossil records shows that mass-extinction events have attended the ice-ages but have not attended the warming periods.
On Human Reproduction:
People who pander to the notion that sex should be free of lasting consequence claim that a human fetus is an expendable part of a woman’s own anatomy until a child is born alive.
This plainly false statement DENIES the observable reality which modern technology has recently made so visible to the general public.
- Science proves that a fully unique genetic individual is constituted upon conception. Time and essential nutrients alone are the difference between a conceived zygote and a fetus; between a fetus and a full-term baby; between a full-term baby and a 3-year old toddler, etc.
- The early delivery of a full or near-term prenatal child is a faster and therefore safer process for a mother suffering pregnancy-related complications (such as preeclampsia) as compared to the purposeful killing of the child followed by the delivery of a dead baby. Those claiming late-term abortion is ever “medically necessary” are denying the viability of the near-term child in order to grant a license to kill.
- Pregnancy is not a disease, but a natural process for which women’s bodies are uniquely designed. The need for medical intervention is the exception, not the rule.
- Preventing reproduction does not constitute “reproductive healthcare.”
- Killing is not “healthcare.”
On Human Sexuality:
People who generate political capital using the strategy of identity politics have added an array of sexuality-related “identities” to the ones on which the strategy has typically been deployed: races, skin-colors, ethnicities, languages and other categorical factors. The result of identity politics is, of course, the establishment of “protected classes” – In direct opposition to our 14th amendment; and a nearly unlimited authorization of force in pursuit of social engineering.
The strategy has worked well to consolidate power in the hands of the government, disempower individuals, offer a plausible “virtue signal” for politicians and incent the formation of yet more identity groups.
- Deniers of human sexual dimorphism claim sex is a social construct; the result of beliefs, customs and norms and as such, is subject to change via politics and/or force of law.
- Deniers of biological human sex ignore chromosomes, body-design and other immutable genetic facts to claim that a person can “transition” from one sex to another. While scientifically false and observably absurd, it’s a claim they are codifying – your agreement with this plainly false claim will soon be forced by law.
- Deniers of natural human sexuality deny the existence of “normal.” They believe that all behavior, all impulses are of EQUAL VALUE. As such, they believe children should be taught that there is no such thing as “normal” human sexual expression. They are successfully incorporating this dogma into the curriculum taught by public schools.
- Deniers of natural human sexuality are attempting to disable a function of private society as old as humanity itself: The inculcation of character by teaching self-mastery; the ability to understand, harness and channel one’s impulses, feelings, drives and urges into forms that best align with the advancement of individual life goals and the interests of social order.
Every victory for those who deny observable reality results in more power in government hands; power to use in ever-more corrupt ways. Why is that so?
When the physical reality to which we’d otherwise refer in common is denied, the version of “reality” that then prevails is determined by those in power. We are no longer equals in observation of even the most fundamental reality. Might makes right.
