The 6 Big Ways Liberals Are Destroying America’s Culture
Townhall.com ^ | October 29, 2017 | John Hawkins

There was a time when we used to be a nation that pushed freedom, responsibility, decency, patriotism and hard work. Some of us still believe in those things, but because of liberalism, much more destructive values have seeped into our culture like toxic waste. There are many ways that liberals have degraded our culture, but these are the worst of the worst.

1) The Politicization Of Everything: Want to watch football? There are players protesting the flag. Turn on a Hollywood awards ceremony? There are actors making political statements. Want to go to the bathroom in peace? Well, first, we need to know if you’re okay with sharing it with someone who feels like the opposite gender today. You’re just a regular person telling an off-color joke you heard? Better be careful; that could turn into a front page scandal if the wrong group gets offended. Want to buy a Halloween costume for your kid? Well, you better make sure it’s someone of the same race or people will be upset. Want to go on a date? If you date someone of the same race, you may be racist. Ready to marry your honey? Then you better support gay marriage or you’re a homophobe. I can remember a time in America where you could just live your life without paying attention to politics at all if you wanted and that was a good thing. Remember that old saying? Never discuss race, religion or politics in polite company? Well, because of liberals, you don’t have a choice anymore.

2) Political Correctness: I hate the idea that some normal person can tell a joke on Twitter and have his life destroyed for it by the liberal fun police. I think it’s disgusting to see that liberals have embraced fascism to such an extent that they can’t tolerate a contrary idea on their college campus. It’s like the whole country is in a relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder. Everyone’s walking on eggshells because some buttercup might get horribly upset at, well….just about anything. Whatever happened to the idea that if some ordinary thing triggers you, YOU have the problem and it’s something YOU need to work on? Oh, yeah, liberals happened to it.

3) Victimhood: Only in America do people get so excited about the idea of being a victim that they will even fake hate crimes against themselves to get that status. Only in America are there women publicly crying that they were sexually assaulted and traumatized because a 93 year old, wheelchair-bound President pinched their butt. Only in America do we have to come up with things like white privilege and institutional racism because there’s not enough real racism happening to allow liberal minorities to feel like victims. There was a time in America when people wanted to feel strong, capable and able to handle their own problems instead of being victims. There still are people like that today and they’re called conservatives.

4) Liberal Feminism: The original “Women should have the same rights as men” feminism has been so widely accepted in society that it made feminism irrelevant. So, liberal feminists reinvented feminism as a combination of man-hating and victimization. Look out, it’s the patriarchy and rape culture! Don’t you dare hold the door for me! Stop mansplaining! Stop saying, “Not all men!” You just sit there in silence thinking about how you’ve oppressed women! Liberal feminism falsely makes women think they could have it all if those awful men weren’t getting in their way and it makes many guys unsure of what reaction they’ll get from women when they behave like men. Forget about the old “Women should be women and men should be men” philosophy; liberal feminism is about women being men and the men being shamed.

5) Tribalism:  Liberals work incessantly to split Americans in ever smaller groups that are at each other’s throats. If you want to get a sense of how bad it has gotten, we’re having ferocious public debates about transsexuals who, depending on how you define it, make up less than .25% to .75% of the population. Increasingly, the attitude is moving from the annoying, “You just can’t understand because of your race/color/gender” to “You HATE ME and I HATE YOU” because of differences that are often unchangeable. This is incredibly dangerous to our future as a country because you can’t hold any group of people including a nation together long term when people no longer believe they share the same goals and values as their neighbors.   Our nation’s motto is E pluribus unum (Out of many, one), but what happens when liberals insist that the many never become one?

6) “Non-Judgmentalism”: We’ve heard so many liberals talk about how important it is to be non-judgmental that it has seeped into the culture at large. When there’s a choice between what’s best for society and best for a particular individual who has done something wrong, we always default to protecting that individual. How’s that working out for us? Since the stigma around getting a divorce, having a child out of wedlock or having an abortion has faded, are we better or worse off? Are the kids who are aborted or who get raised by a single parent instead of a family better off? Are the guys who are extremely hesitant to get married because they fear divorce better off? Are we better off because people no longer wonder whether doing something horrible in public will hurt their good name or ruin their family’s reputation? The very fact that we are so unwilling to draw a line in the sand and say “That’s right” or “That’s wrong” has mired our culture in degeneracy. Maybe if there were more people who feel bad when they do things that “wouldn’t make their mothers proud,” there would be a lot more decent human beings.

While Millett was speaking about sexual liberation at Columbia University, a woman in the audience asked her, “Why don’t you say you’re a lesbian, here, openly. You’ve said you were a lesbian in the past.” Millett hesitantly responded, “Yes, I am a lesbian”.[29] A couple of weeks later, Time’s December 8, 1970 article “Women’s Lib: A Second Look” reported that Millett admitted she was bisexual, which it said would likely discredit her as a spokesperson for the feminist movement because it “reinforce[d] the views of those skeptics who routinely dismiss all liberationists as lesbians

I took a women's study class at Fresno State. (for the easy grad, hush).

The teacher was a militant dyke and the class was totally worthless. I aced EVERYTHING, I mean, how could I not? The course was child-like.

On my final paper I wrote, in essence, that the feminist movement was comprised of mostly lesbians and that lesbians did not represent real women.

I went from solid A to a D just like that. Hahahahahaha.

Crazy lesbians.

How can liberals worship nature and make it irrelevant at the same time?

Excellent point, abclily!

I will add that to my quiver of debate points, if you don't mind.

Liberals want to make nature irrelevant. Male humans have certain natural characteristics. Female humans have certain natural characteristics. How can liberals worship nature and make it irrelevant at the same time? This cranial malfunction on the part of liberals has rendered them socially retarded.

Political strategy does not have to have any scientific basis.

This theory of the Left that there is no basic difference between the sexes has nothing to do with behaviors or sexual characteristics. It is a political tool to break down society so that the move toward a totalitarian society can move forward.

The idea behind this is that if the family unit can eventually for all intents and purposes be totally dissolved there can be no resistance to a total takeover of all aspects of society by government.

If there is no family unit government must raise the children

If government raises the children then the children will love the government and look to it for guidance.

If government provides for all your needs how can you fight the government?

The transgender movement, the feminist movement, the homosexual movement, all of the ‘minority’ rights movements and the purging of historical heroes are all in existence to promote the dissolution of society’s cohesiveness so that a it can be replaced by socialist utopia.

If we are all at each other’s throats and there is nothing left to hold society together eventually there must be marshal law and the Marxist Socialist government can emerge.

Liberalism is the party of no humor, joy, fun, or laughter. I believe they started it by banning Mickey, Donald, Bugs, Road Runner, and the rest of the gang. And we foolishly said, “OK.”

Murder is definitely NOT allowed. It is committed whether or not it is allowed. The Mafia sometimes allows it, the Crips and Bloods allow it as does MS-13 but it is generally not “allowed”.

In the liberal world it's not about accomplishments. It's about how they FEEL about those accomplishments. Did you accomplish that on your own? No, you just HAD to have someone else help you to get there. i.e government help.

Liberalism is a mental disease. YOU CANNOT FIX RETARDED!

#5, Tribalism, goes even further in that in the corporate office they only hire fellow liberals. Conservatives are not political like that and hire liberals, who then only hire liberals. This squeezes out conservatives. I’ve seen it at many companies, companies that then stagnate and die.

But Libtards have not discarded “Judgmentalism.” They simply apply it differently than old-fashioned killjoys did. Just look at the anti-Christian bigotry. I see more judgmental behavior from secular “Progressives” than I do from Christians.

The author and many others should be educated about one of the most important methods of socialists. With linguistic activism, false definitions are put into dictionaries. New terms are devised as tools for the left. There is also a lack of conservative English instructors and has been for a long time.
