The Cultural Revolution that Christopher Rufo dare not touch
Unspoken changes hide the real radicalism
I rarely feel blackpilled by the actions of our enemies. It is the actions of our friends that blackpill me.
Christopher Rufo has a book coming out "America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything." I learned about this because those adjacent to myself are having a Twitter space with Rufo on to promote it.
Rufo’s an odd guy but until I had seen the above screenshot I had a generally positive impression of the man. Unfortunately for him though I hold the ‘extremist’ position that homosexual men should not be allowed to adopt children, and in this case it is technically even worse as this is a surrogacy - aka the purchase of a child. It’s even worse when you spell out what Dave Rubin and this other man have done:
They have paid an economically needy, vulnerable, woman to be impregnated with their sperm and to carry this child to term. They will then take this child from its mother and raise it within a homosexual relationship.
Insanity.
That would have been taboo even 20 years ago and now it is not only tolerated but celebrated by people who are ostensibly against the radical left. Rufo here is celebrating this and at the same time being held as some warrior fighting against the ‘woke left’.
To me, and countless others, there is no discernible difference between the radicalism of gender or CRT that Rufo is content to be angry about and the radicalism he himself is smuggling into the wider culture.
This is the real radicalism, the real cultural revolution that so many are not willing to actually tackle and engage with. They remain captured by ideology and bereft of actual moral code to live by.
At times like this I do not mean to blackpill but I want those greater than me, with more reach, to stand firm. Politely challenge Rufo on this, disown Rubin, speak out against this radicalism and treat it the same as the gender issues. To do anything else borders on outright betrayal and dishonesty.
It seems that the job of the anons sniping from the sidelines is never done.
The problem is that conservatism in these United States is exactly the conservatism described by Robert Lewis Dabney so many decades ago. It serves only to cement the gains of the previous generation of liberalism. Without any honest-to-goodness tradition to cling to Anglo-Saxon movements of the Right have to begin from first principles, which IMO means reexamining the nature of power and rights- ideas on these two subjects are almost exactly inverted versions of how they should operate in a system governed by natural law.
