1 (Snort) So these snowflakes are "traumatized" by learning about history, eh? Well! They should be put on a steady diet of it until they can digest it without trauma, then. Like learning how to eat properly-seasoned food, which normal young children generally have to do.

2 The central problem is that youngsters today are not being taught that safety is a feeling, not a fact, and that feelings are an inside job.


These children in adult bodies are looking outside themselves for something to make their feelings feel good, and it's clearly not working. I say it that way, because it does work for little children. Mommy puts her arms around you and you feel safe. But at some point you are too big for Mommy's arms to be the provider of your safety. That feeling of safety has to come from within you. It has to come from your own sense that you have the inner resources to cope with whatever life throws at you.

The idea that I can only be safe if you address me by the pronoun of my choice is so completely detached from reality as to be utterly insane. It places the responsibility for my safety on someone who has no logical reason to have the slightest interest in my safety. And yet that little piece of absolute nonsense is taken as gospel by those who think that they are smart enough to run this nation.

3 Amen Dana and Bill!  These kids are being raised like veal in an emotional sense.

4 Spot-on, Bill. And we don't even need to get into "trophy-for-showing-up." (gag)
