Society self-destructs while playing pretend.
Vladimir Legoyda, the official spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church and the Patriarch, recently spoke on the Radio Vera program “Bright Evening” about, how a society handles gender issues can provide a window into the state of that society, suggesting that the viability of the society itself can be measured by its reaction to the gender issue.
Legoyda went on to explain how the fact that Western society seriously entertains the idea of more than two genders, suggests that it is suffering from a serious, life threatening disease, arguing that such a society must "come to a dead end and begin to decompose."
To this author, it seems the crux of the “gender problem” lies in the overstressed importance of the individual, and their demand that society coddle them and their every whim, and the willingness of modern Western society to do just that. Denying reality itself, it is the ultimate “me” statement: “I will even change the gender my body was made in through human means.” And it contains also a sort of maddening pride, as THIS is how they shall be addressed and portrayed, whatever reality may have to say about it.
This is about the enforcing of the Will onto Reality and making oneself the arbiter of that reality.

He’s not wrong.
He’s completely right. Throw out God, country, family, law & order, the dignity of work, and you have to scrounge pretty hard to come up with meaning for your life
He should be more concerned about the souls of the Russian people. The life expectancy of males was already pretty low due to alcoholism before Putin sent tens of thousands to die in Ukraine.
The man has a valid point.
“West’s Gender Madness Shows It Is ‘Decomposing, Ill, at a Dead End’”
Where’s the lie?
The West makes it REALLY EASY for the Russian government to maintain their legitimacy. All that they have to do is point out what’s going on in the west regarding things like Drag Queens recruiting little kids, Cross-Dressing men taking over women’s sports, Justices that cannot define a woman, and a media/elite now trying to legalize Pedophilia.
“He should be more concerned about the souls of the Russian people. The life expectancy of males was already pretty low due to alcoholism before Putin sent tens of thousands to die in Ukraine.”
While your statement is not completely off base, it completely misses the point.
“.....God will send them strong delusion , that they should believe a lie.”
2 Thessalonians 2:11.
This is just the beginning of Satan’s lies that the people who reject the truth will believe.
He’s not wrong... But is world war III worth a few loons dressed up in drag? I think not. The Russian church is living in the 16th century.
A bunch of us don’t like it, but be aware, we don’t like the author either.
Yep
Obama sold the fools on several lies
He pushed this, big time

Sounds like the Russian Church is living according to Scriptures.
He’s right except it’s not the West, it’s Democrats.
What don’t you like about Legoyda?
Everybody is wrong these days.
Yikes! Schools are degenerating fast. Knowledge is so passe.
