Why Nearly 40 Percent of Gen Z Identify as LGBTQ

The insanity worsens! They're like lemmings rushing to their own destruction because all their peers are doing it too.

I was shocked not long ago when I read a piece on the Newsweek website. The headline read “Nearly 40 Percent of U.S. Gen Zs, 30 Percent of Young Christians Identify as LGBTQ, Poll Shows.” That, aside from Joe Biden providing free crack pipes to help address racial inequality, is the most absurd thing I may have ever read. Not so much for the data itself per se, but rather, an illustration of exactly how malleable (and lost) young Americans are.

Whatever the natural percentage of LGBTQwhatever people in the United States is, it’s sure as hell not 40%. It’s probably closer to low single digits. Whatever it actually is, somehow with the left’s championing of the rainbow, magically 40% of young people identify with it… not tolerate it, not say no problem with it, not even say, good for them, but against the tide of tens of thousands of years of human history, are now, or at least “identify” as, LBGTQwhatever.  That tells you a lot about the state of America today.

That so many young adults are so confused about sexual attraction, one of the most basic and important elements of life, one that most people never even have to question because it’s largely written in our genes, tells you quite a bit about how absurd America has become.

It’s guaranteed that you won’t find this absurdity in nations where people struggle for food, water, shelter, and freedom. Guaranteed you won’t find this absurdity in nations where war or terrorism or narco-violence is an everyday concern. But you do here because the United States had done such a spectacular – albeit imperfect – job of meeting the basic needs of life and providing unprecedented prosperity for most Americans that we have 40 million or more young people who have the luxury of navel-gazing themselves out of the most basic of biological truths. And just to be clear, these aren’t children, they’re young adults born between 1984 & 2002, or between 20 & 38 years old.

How exactly does that happen?

The first prerequisite is fulfillment of life’s basic needs. While we hear stories of poverty and desperation daily in the media, the reality is that most Americans do not struggle to attain the basic needs of life, food, water, shelter, and based on the birthrates of the poorest Americans, companionship. While there are no doubt exceptions to that – as there always are about virtually everything – the reality is that even the poor in the United States have more material goods than the average European.

But once those needs are met, there are myriad opportunities for folly and, in America, there is a great deal of that. Much of it is driven by the media / academia / high tech cabal that passes for the intelligentsia in America and it is increasingly abetted by big business.

My favorite aphorism of all time is Voltaire who said “Perfect is the enemy of the good.” Twenty-First Century America is that quote incarnate. Rather than reinforcing the basic principles that laid the foundation for American success, things like Christianity, limited government, individual liberty & responsibility, and capitalism, today the intelligentsia cabal spend their time attacking those things in the name of “doing better” or “diversity” or “inclusion,” Online and off they showcase everything in opposition to those values.

It’s never enough to welcome “marginalized” groups into the narrative; rather the culture that built America and the 70% of America that is still white must be demolished: whites are racist. Capitalism rewards the rich at the expense of the poor. Women earn $.77 to men’s $1.00. The Founding Fathers were racists and so were frontier settlers too. Systemic racism keeps minorities in poverty. Republicans hate blacks, immigrants, the poor, and the elderly. America was founded to protect slavery, the flag is a symbol of racism and the Pledge of Allegiance is indoctrination into the cult. And of course, Aunt Jemima was a symbol of racism, and a Dr. Seuss book too. Virtually anything traditional in American history is in the crosshairs.

The list of complaints never stops as the victim classes continue to grow, to the point that – no doubt taking their cue from Senator Pocahontas – a third of white students lied about being part of a minority group to improve their chances of acceptance into or gaining financial aid for college!
