The progressive diversity cult is killing the West by a thousand cuts

On Oct. 21, I posted a message on my X feed that went viral. It has garnered nearly 11 million views over the past month. I reproduce it here:

“You are not going to like this tweet so turn away if you are likely to be triggered: I am a very optimistic person; I am a fighter for Western values and liberties; I am a dogged defender of science, reason, and common sense. I must say though that I am unsure that the West can recover from its multifront civilizational suicide. Yes, I’ve talked about these issues for decades and wrote a book about it (The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense) but the past few weeks have crystallized the extent to which the problem has become intractable. It will be a long and ultimately bloody demise and the West will be the first society in recorded history to fully self-implode due to its parasitic ideological rapture. It is a gargantuan Greek tragedy that will shape the future of humanity. This is not hyperbole. Your grandchildren will pay a very high price for your ‘progressive’ arrogance rooted in the pursuit of Unicornia that only exists in the recesses of deeply flawed parasitized minds.”

Postmodernism: This is at the apex of all idea pathogens. It is a form of intellectual terrorism as it posits that there are no objective truths since apparently all truth claims are tainted by subjective relativism and personal biases. Postmodernism opens the door to questioning the “antiquated” reality of what constitutes a man and a woman. Until fifteen minutes ago, the 117 billion people who had ever lived, as a sexually reproducing species, knew exactly how to identify these two phenotypes. This is no longer true.

In 2017, during the discussion of Bill C-16, which added protection for “gender identity and gender expression” to the Canadian Human Rights Act, I appeared in front of the Canadian Senate to discuss the implications of rejecting biological reality (to the absurd scoffing and mocking of some of the more liberal senators). Progressive gynecologists have openly stated that men too can menstruate and can bear children. Physicians who are experts in female medicine now recognize that penises are a form of vagina. Postmodernism destroys our sense of shared meaning.
