RIGHT SPEAK: Why the Left’s Serial Insanities Keep Becoming the Law of the Land

Why the left’s serial insanities keep becoming the law of the land:

How do destructive ideas and bouts of collective madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo?
After all, most have little public support — and are not Western nations supposedly rationally governed?

There is usually a multi-step process on the road to these self-destructive fits of society-wide insanity.

The suicidal impulse so often begins with left-leaning researchers in elite universities (that is, the tenured in search of a novel, grant-getting theory).

They begin insisting that a new existential threat requires immediate government intervention, novel legislation, ample funding and public awareness of the impending danger.

So out of nowhere, the public is warned that the scorching planet will be inundated by rising seas in a mere decade.
Or that millions of transgender youth are our next civil rights frontier, given that they suffer in silence without political advocacy, new laws and the chance for “life-saving” hormonal treatments and radical sex-reassignment surgeries.

Indeed, the travel time from an outlandish idea by the faculty lounge to liberal status quo is a mere few years.

Next, the media, hand-in-glove with academia, springs into action to persuade the skeptical public to “follow the science” and “trust the experts.”

It castigates any doubters as cranks or “conspiracy theorists” who spread “disinformation” and “misinformation” — or as racists, nativists, sexists, homophobes and transphobes who must be silenced.

Hollywood and sports celebrities often piggyback on the frenzy, hijacking awards ceremonies and pre-game national anthems to out-virtue-signal each other, warning the public that they must adapt and change — or else.

Almost overnight, to take just one example, going to an isolated beach without a mask during the COVID pandemic, showing skepticism about the efficacy or safety of experimental mRNA vaccines, or believing that the Wuhan gain-of-function virology lab (aided and abetted by grants and support from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institutes of Health) was the source of a manufactured COVID pathogen became heresies.

And the perpetrators had to be punished, either legally or through social ostracism and cancel culture.

Then liberal foundations begin funding more “research” to “prove” that partisan “experts” should not be ignored.

They also fund activist groups that hit the street to gin up popular support, which often results in the required tumult and occasional violence.

They embrace the theory that any disruption will so bother the public that it will support almost anything if it just makes the bedlam go away.
New victims and their oppressors are created ex nihilo.

Yesterday’s radical new policy becomes today’s wishy-washy cop-out, as tomorrow’s once-unthinkable radical idea becomes commonplace and institutionalized.

So it was that a few years ago, the public was told of a new and huge victimized group in the shadows, suffering from “gender dysphoria” — an age-old malady known to the ancients and, according to modern researchers before the millennium, affecting about one in 10,000 to 30,000 people.

No matter — almost overnight, transgenderism joined the gay and lesbian community to become the new LGBT oppressed.

Drag shows, once confined to enclaves in San Francisco or New York, were suddenly mainstreamed into military bases, children’s libraries and cruise ships.

On some campuses, 30% of students polled said that they might consider “transitioning.”
Abruptly, professors and students began reading emails appearing from their finger-in-the-wind administrators with strange new runes under their titles and names, identifying their “preferred pronouns” — sometimes the standard “she/her/hers” or “he/him/his,” and sometimes the unfathomable, such as “Ze/hir/hirs” or the plural “they/them.”

Groupthink and mob mentality prevail: Soon, not listing pronouns on correspondence indicts someone as a counterrevolutionary, a transphobe or, worst of all, a Trump sympathizer.

Soon, fence-sitting liberal and socialist officials and candidates equate the well-funded activism, the performance-art street demonstrations, and the media fixations on victims and victimizers with growing grassroots support for yet another cause.

This is well illustrated by how initially liberal officials — stunned that 70% of the public wanted secure borders, no more illegal immigration and deportation of the 10 million Biden-era illegal aliens — kept quiet about Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

However, after massive and violent demonstrations in major blue cities — with the deaths of two protesters who confronted ICE officers and tried to impede their efforts to detain illegal aliens — biased media blared out that officers were manhandling “mere bystanders.”

ICE is now routinely likened by Democratic politicians to the Nazi Gestapo, well beyond the usual boilerplate smears as “pigs” and “fascists.”

The public buys into the fable that ICE agents were not arresting some 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota while elected officials were siccing protestors on them, but were instead “murdering” innocent unarmed bystanders, who were harmlessly protesting ICE’s “goon” tactics.

Once the delusion — whether of a doomed sizzling planet, a utopian open border, the systemic oppression of a huge transgendered victimized class, or the habitual and flagrant shooting of innocent unarmed black males by predatory racist police — is institutionalized, then the government and institutions, public and private, ignore public opinion.

And they begin passing laws and protocols once deemed unthinkable. --->READ MORE HERE
