That is galaxy brained

2019-07-27 14:02:07 UTC  

But it's not the way to get there, because you can't "enforce traditional values"

2019-07-27 14:02:17 UTC  

People do what they wanna do, go ahead and prove me wrong.

2019-07-27 14:03:48 UTC  

for hundreds, maybe thousands of years traditional values were enforced through moral values and education, it's only when the media, government and education system stopped supporting them did traditional values become more and more fringe

2019-07-27 14:04:07 UTC  

Traditional values were not enforced, they were neccessary for survival

2019-07-27 14:04:34 UTC  

they very much were enforced, if not by the state then by society

2019-07-27 14:05:03 UTC  

the same way modern Progressive values are being enforced

2019-07-27 14:05:04 UTC  

Dude, you think people didn't cheat on their partners in medieval Europe?

2019-07-27 14:05:21 UTC  

thats not my point

2019-07-27 14:07:37 UTC  

things like drag kids etc for example are a symptom of Social liberalism and wouldn't of been tolerated in say the 1950s since at that point Tradional socially conservatives values were dominent in society

2019-07-27 14:08:00 UTC  

It was tolerated long before the 20th century

2019-07-27 14:08:15 UTC  

not in the mainstream it wasn't

2019-07-27 14:08:15 UTC  

It was a privilege of the upper class

2019-07-27 14:08:39 UTC  

Dude, even fashion reflects it

2019-07-27 14:08:50 UTC  

What do you think all these men dressing up and putting makeup on was?

2019-07-27 14:09:06 UTC  

i dont care about what rich urbanites were doing

2019-07-27 14:09:13 UTC  

I'm talking about everyday people

2019-07-27 14:09:17 UTC  

But my point is that it's a result of wealth

2019-07-27 14:09:33 UTC  

As society becomes wealthier, which it does, people express themselves more freely and openly, in all classes

2019-07-27 14:09:41 UTC  

It's inevitable, it's always been the case

2019-07-27 14:10:17 UTC  

that doesn't make it a good thing

2019-07-27 14:10:32 UTC  

That's not your point though, you're talking about "enforcing traditional values"

2019-07-27 14:10:41 UTC  

I'm telling you they weren't traditional to begin with

2019-07-27 14:10:45 UTC  

The elite never cared about this shit

2019-07-27 14:11:02 UTC  

again i dont care about what rich urbanites were doing

2019-07-27 14:11:04 UTC  

So if you ask for statist intervention in favor of traditionalism, you're looking in the wrong place

2019-07-27 14:11:16 UTC  

Because the state is run BY the elites

2019-07-27 14:11:27 UTC  

They'll always pander to their own desires

2019-07-27 14:11:36 UTC  

Degeneracy started at the top first

2019-07-27 14:12:42 UTC  

that wouldn't make it inevitable, presumable you would get rid of said elites first

2019-07-27 14:12:51 UTC  

if we're talking about the future that is

2019-07-27 14:13:02 UTC  

So you want to have an endless cycle of elites getting killed and replaced?

2019-07-27 14:13:13 UTC  

That's the stupidest idea ever

2019-07-27 14:13:31 UTC  

you're assuming that all of them agreed in those types of ideas

2019-07-27 14:13:36 UTC  

many of them didn't

2019-07-27 14:13:41 UTC  

No I'm not, it's just inevitable

2019-07-27 14:14:16 UTC  

it's inevitable that some people would have those views

2019-07-27 14:14:35 UTC  

so presumably you would remove them from positions of power before they could spread there views

2019-07-27 14:15:02 UTC  

No, that's stupid, because if you have the power to remove them, then they've never had enough power to begin with, YOU'd be the one enforcing it

2019-07-27 14:15:07 UTC  

i.e. a dictatorship

2019-07-27 14:15:33 UTC  

you wouldn't need a dictatorship
