In the most technical sense, if you were to celebrate diversity for its own sake, you would have to celebrate things that are, to put it mildly, counter-productive. Normal people celebrate accomplishments, progressive Democrats celebrate only certain kinds of existences, while condemning others (but weirdly electing them to high office, like President Old, Straight, Rich White Guy). But “diversity” is a meaningless word, which makes celebrating it even odder. Yet, that’s what Democrats do. At a certain point, however, shouldn’t they care enough about the people they deem worthy of “celebrating” to try to help them?
That’s a rhetorical question, obviously. The progressive power structure in this country, and the world, has no use for individuals beyond them being weapons and props. So, when discussing things like “the trans community” they ignore the reality surrounding the suicide rate and drug abuse problems throughout it.
Instead, you get meaningless pap like the meme tweeted out by a group called “Pride UK” which read, “Respecting a person’s pronouns is suicide prevention.”
Might I suggest that, if you are genuinely concerned with the well-being of any person or group of people, you might want to focus on whatever issues are causing them to teeter on the edge of suicide, not indulging them in their delusions. Because, whether out of malice or simple reality, sooner or later someone is going to point out how odd it is that the bearded person in a dress is using a urinal. If that’s enough to send someone over the edge into harming themselves or others, early intervention is needed.
That’s not what Democrats do. They insist we lie, that we play along and indulge people. That we deny reality because reality upsets some people. That serves no one and, like pretty much every policy idea Democrats advance, it helps no one either.
Somewhere along the line, the Democrat Party turned into the Brewster sisters from “Arsenic and Old Lace,” who coddle their mentally ill brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt to the point they make everyone else indulge him too. They also murder single men because they think they’re sad to be alone, draw whatever conclusion you like from that.
Did they really do their brother any favors by indulging him? No. And they all ended in an insane asylum, so… (Watch the movie, it’s actually hilarious.)
But Democrats aren’t about to voluntarily check themselves into a mental hospital. They aren’t actually mentally ill, they’re evil. There’s a very important difference between the two.
The left is content to let the suicides of people they claim to care so deeply about continue because they serve a larger purpose – those deaths enable Democrats to peacock around claiming moral superiority and a deeper sense of caring than anyone else. That moral superiority is the lifeblood of the left.
How many people have to die in their pursuit of power? Well, more than 100 million were murdered in quest for progressive dominance in the last century, why would anything be different in this one?
The thing about chasing power for its own sake is there is finish line. If the answer to “How much?” is “More,” there’s no end to that pursuit.
Democrats want power so they can control people and impose their will on them. But their policies fail, which they use to push for newer, larger policies that allot them more power…lather, rinse, repeat.
To people thinking straight, the idea of “Big government has failed us, what we need is bigger government” seems insane and would be rejected out-of-hand. However, if you muddy the waters to the point that opposing an action isn’t about that action, but about, say, well-being of others, and you are required to do or act a certain way, lest you drive others to harm themselves, then suddenly you’re painting critics as monsters and discrediting what they’re trying to do. Never mind the fact that the people harming themselves were inclined to do that anyway and are in desperate need of help; help those Democrats are denying them, by the way, because not getting it is useful to those Democrats.
Indulge, don’t help. Weaponize, don’t solve.
The last century showed individuals are disposable to the left; Democrats care about nothing but their own power and agenda. As the White House and the rest of the left celebrate things like “Transgender Day of Remembrance,” make sure to remember what’s really going on here and why.
