One of my favorite movies growing up was “War of The Worlds”. It’s a story of an inventor, fed up with a world filled with constant unremitting conflict. So he builds a time machine and travels to the future where he ASSumes that Mankind achieves “universal peace”, only to find Man’s descendents are total pacifists - and a food-source to a more aggressive species.

In a pivotal scene one of the Eloi sees the vital necessity to defend himself (a trait that has all but been bred out of Man) and struggles to make a fist. I saw this as more than simply a statement on Man’s genetic predisposition to self-defense but a rare admission of that inherent trait by the author, H.G. Wells - a man who abhorred violence and war.

It is possible that the left could succeed at emasculating American males. Of course that would leave us defenseless against our enemies and we would soon cease too exist (a proposition that the left does not seem to be adverse) and the world would be plunged into darkness.

Eventually (inevitably?) the true nature of Man would assert itself. I would add that this would be hastened by the fact that leftists would be long gone - the first victims of their own myopic notions.

“It is possible that the left could succeed at emasculating American males.”

I’ve thought that for more than just a few years, now. It’s happening all thru society.

“War of the Worlds”, eh? Sounds more like “The Time Machine”.

A couple of years ago we bought my son an AK 47 full auto bb gun. It was fun!
