Liberalism as an autoimmune disease.

Oz Conservative has a fine piece on the madness of the pursuit of modernity. To be a modern is to attempt to determine for oneself every aspect of one’s life, a process that has come to mean the rejection of all that is undeniably hardwired and unchangeable in life, viz., one’s sex, one’s biological conditioning, one’s ethnicity, and objective morality.

Again, if there is only one form of family life we don’t get to self-select which one to belong to. Therefore, liberal moderns will often insist that there is no natural form of family life, but rather a diversity of family forms. Some liberal moderns insist that family life is so open that it cannot even be defined.

What else do we not self-determine? We don’t get to choose for ourselves our ethnicity. Therefore, traditional forms of national identity, based on ethnicity, have been declared illegitimate by liberal moderns.

Look for adorable evening gowns for men soon to complement those fab ear rings.
