Douglas Murray: Shouldn’t we feel sorry for Hunter Biden?
There is politics. And then there are people’s lives.
Doug has lost his freaking mind. I used to have respect for him and his work, and sometimes he was hit and miss. But this is not a miss, this is insanity. Maybe because he is gay, so he didn't understand. You can't expect gays to understand needs of children. They are gays. Somehow they always find a way to put degeneracy ahead of needs of children. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. And he calls himself conservative. Of freaking what? Pedophiles? New Rule. No gays in politics. They are uterally incapable of thinking about children in any healthy way. Dave Rubin and his husband, two narsicisitc gays, payed surrogate mother to produce a child for them. So they can have a new pet.
Mark Dice: PragerU and The Blaze Go FULL WOKE!
Mar 21, 2022 Prager U, TheBlaze, and many prominent "conservative" commentators have just crossed a line few could have imagined, and are now Full Woke. Beyond Woke.
....
So much for fake spineless "conservative" pundits. All talk, no walk. The money and social status is too good for them to actually stand up for anything worth standing up for. Instead they will milk you dry with donations and subscriptions. They are all rich. I wonder how they got there. Putting their wants and social status ahead of children's needs. That's how. Fake as hell.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The negative relationship between intelligence and "common sense" has been folk wisdom for at least as long as I have been a live. New evidence suggests that high intelligence does come with the probability of certain neurological and physiological correlations.
"High intelligence: A risk factor for psychological and physiological overexcitabilities"
Genius is a combination of high intelligence and creative ability.
"There exists an association between creativity and major mental disorders known since antiquity."
Genius is a kind of power and high intelligence is associated with above average earning ability. Often creative people will be socialized to an extent in ways that predisposes them to Narcissism.
"Steve Jobs, a very intense, compulsive genius, exhibited signs of cyclothymia.13 He was able to recruit the creative powers of others and literally built the realm of computer technology. Yet, under oath, he swore impotence and sterility to avoid the obligations to his illegitimate daughter. And the list goes on and on."
Power and money are corrosive to normal development. "it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Matthew 19:24
We shouldn't expect that "conservative" "geniuses" would be immune to the pitfalls of success in terms of virtue. In some ways it is easier for "normal" people and perhaps even the poor to live by traditional virtue of chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, kindness, patience and humility.
Behind the victorious Roman general in the chariot stood a slave, holding a golden crown over his head, and whispering to him throughout the procession, 'Remember you are mortal'. We live in a society that celebrates celebrity to an unhealthy degree, unhealthy for society and the celebrated.
"True humility—the basis of the Christian system—is the low but deep and firm foundation of all virtues." Edmund Burke
While Burke is speaking from a Western perspective similar concepts are present in many civilizations. Pride or hubris is one of our greatest weaknesses. We all need reminded that we are mortal.

True. Funny how modern religions, starting with liberalism in 18th century onward, communism, national socialism, fascism etc. They all lost cautionary tales in their mythology. The traditional religions, prior to that time even from ancient Greece and Roman times, have their warnings in form of Icarus, and in Christianity its Lucifer etc.
“Of all manifestations of power, restraint impresses me the most.”
― Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War
Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/, from ancient Greek ὕβρι&sigmaf
describes a personality quality of extreme or foolish pride or dangerous overconfidence, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance. In its ancient Greek context, it typically describes behavior that defies the norms of behavior or challenges the gods, and which in turn brings about the downfall, or nemesis, of the perpetrator of hubris. The adjectival form of the noun hubris is "hubristic". Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may suffer collateral consequences from the wrongful act. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities. Hybris[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Ὑβρις means "hubris" ) was a spirit (daemon) or goddess of insolence, violence, and outrageous behaviour. In Roman mythology, the personification was Petulantia, who reflected the Greek conception of hubris.
Fallen Angel: How Did Lucifer Fall and Become Satan?
"Lucifer became so impressed with his own beauty, intelligence, power, and position that he began to desire for himself the honor and glory that belonged to God alone. This pride represents the actual beginning of sin in the universe—preceding the fall of the human Adam by an indeterminate time."
As a result of this heinous sin against God, Lucifer was banished from living in heaven (Isaiah 14:12). He became corrupt, and his name changed from Lucifer (“morning star&rdquo to Satan (“adversary&rdquo. His power became completely perverted (Isaiah 14:12,16,17). And his destiny, following the second coming of Christ, is to be bound in a pit during the 1000-year millennial kingdom over which Christ will rule (Revelation 20:3), and eventually will be thrown into the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41).
Hybris, outrageous arrogance that leads to the downfall of a leader and his people, began as a theological concept. Indeed, later on, in Christianity, hybris was a word for sin. As we saw with the people of Israel during Natzi Germany, both the guilty and the innocent suffer as a result of hybris.
Illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave Doré (1866).
The spiritual descent of Lucifer into Satan is one of the most famous examples of hubris.

Of course, the LGBTQ++ movement will move the line. They want to feel a sense of normalcy. But it is like fitting a square peg into a round hole.
The biggest problem is in changing the vernacular, the language. Usually, when something is discovered or new or different a new word is invented to describe it. The LGBTQ++ community wishes to maintain the same vernacular but alter the definitions to be inclusive. They won't accept new words.
Marriage was defined as the union of a man and woman to in matrimony. Gays want to adopt the language and call their unions marriage too, so there is no differentiation. As I said it gives them a sense of normalcy and inclusion in society.
Well, it seems they don't want us to recognize what the union of two men or two women in matrimoplayny for example, is. It must remain a "marriage". We can't call it anything else - which is the farce. It can't be a partnership or union. It can't be called anything other than marriage. A transgender woman has to be called a woman with appropriate pronouns. This is a politically purposeful redefining of words.
Where this will end is not a happy place. People that are pushing this wordplay are purposely trying to incite division and the harder they push the more divisive it becomes until there is a backlash.
If new words were invented to describe things like gay marriage, which alters the definition of marriage, and is no longer is the same concept, there will be resistance. now we are supposed to be diverse and inclusive and equitable. We no longer have a mutual understanding of what we are talking about. When we think we are getting a grasp of it, some other concept is changed that we have to adjust to. This changes the social structure. A new word would not. The old words were intended to be exclusive.Inventing new words would also not be inclusive because it identifies a new concept, something different. It would be a less challenging way to gain acceptance but it would always identify as outside the norm which is not what the LGBTQ++ community wants. They want to be the norm. Something they can never be. It's a denial of reality. A man cannot become pregnant. He cannot menstruate. A woman cannot produce sperm. In order to do these things we would have to alter the species. Is this where we are headed?

There is a relationship between Luxus and narcissism. Legally and socially marriage was never about the couple but about the children. Once children became an after thought the institution lost most of it's meaning.
