"People forget that in every era there were fads, trends, styles and movements that were denounced as "not manly", "communist", "degenerate", "unAmerican" and more. Beatniks, hippies, yuppies, disco, etc."
Nobody has forgotten that.
But, there has never been the insanity of the 21st century cancel culture.
For instance...In the la-la land 21st century "men" are "marrying" "men". And now the movement to allowed "men" to "marry" wee children is rapidly gaining support and momentum.
At no other time in history has such lunacy flourished.
Never before has there been a forbidden word list...that has new forbidden words added just about every day of the week. Cancel culture.
At no other time have communists, and "trained marxists", been allowed to capture and hold ground on U.S. soil indefinatly. Only in the queer 21st century is it allowed, for organized crime and thugs, to burn down and loot whenever they please...and not a finger lifted to stop them...only more pandering and coddling.
Good grief, man!
Will you not know what is going on, in present day world, until they come right in to your home that YOU "stole from them"?
Wake up!
