The Coming Dark Age

The entire alphabet soup of FAAMG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google), as well as Twitter are determined to block all sane opposition to the left wing, culture of death narrative!

The Dark Ages is term routinely tossed about by people who know little about the Middle Ages.  However, many Leftists seem intent on doing their worst to bring about a Dark Age in terms of the free exchange of ideas:
In the early hours of Sunday morning, an expert Ph.D. psychologist who helped write the official psychological position on transgender identity was blocked on Twitter for expressing his opinion informed by clinical experience. His well-reasoned position was flagged for “hateful conduct.”
On Saturday, Ray Blanchard — the Ph.D. psychologist and adjunct professor at the University of Toronto who served on the working work for gender dysphoria (the persistent condition of identifying with the gender opposite your biological sex) for the DSM V, the gold standard of definitions helping psychologists diagnose disorders for patients — tweeted out his clinically-informed opinion on transgender identity.
He still affirmed the controversial idea that sex-change surgery is the “best treatment” for “carefully screened, adult patients, whose gender dysphoria has proven resistant to other forms of treatment,” but he opposed “treating” children who may change their minds. (Even this position is debatable, as people who have undergone sex-change surgery after persistent gender dysphoria have later rejected their transgender identity and lamented the mutilation of their bodies.)
Go here to read the rest.  Too many Leftists believe in their own magisterium and that “error has no rights”.  This is anathema to any concept of a free society.  Oh, and their magisterium tends to change almost from day to day, as Democrat candidates for President are finding out as they struggle to push past positions they held, that are now uncongenial to the Leftist thought police who live on social media, firmly down memory holes.  Thus is reasoned debate howled down, or simply silenced, and a suffocating orthodoxy put in place to spare the feelings of special snowflakes, too ignorant to defend their positions any other way.

  1. You could see all this coming and ramping up pre-Trump election and definitely after. What they found they couldn't get by legitimate means, they intend to get by force. It's all the same to them, same outcome. These are not people with bothersome scruples. I don't think the SS lost any sleep over what they did, maybe at first, but not for long. There is no limit to what these people will do to get what they want.
    If we are going to contain them, there will simply have to be pushback of various kinds. Asserting the truth, a given. Please God give us the determination to do so, just when the church you gave us has morally collapsed, we are on our own here.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
