OH THIS IS BAD...

       The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. was one of the first federal institutions established by our government after independence as a repository for all copyrighted works within the US.  The Founding Fathers put a high value upon literacy and learning, which they believed (correctly) was at the basis of a free society. During the War of 1812, on the order of King Charles' ancestor, the Library was burned by the British. The Library was rebuilt, and Thomas Jefferson donated his own extensive private library to the cause. 

     Monarchs and other dictators don't like independent thinking, however, and the modern Anglosphere has gone to extensive lengths to turn their respective populations into neurotics and ignoramuses who will better both tolerate and even defend the venality and stupidity of their leaders. A case in point was reported in the news today when the Library of Congress was forced to issue a public apology to some mediocre author for using "a non-preferred pronoun." 

     That would be depressing enough, but a recent poll conducted in Britain set the cultural bar at an entirely new low. We rarely issue 'trigger warnings' but readers are really going to have to brace themselves for this one. 

     "A survey conducted in the United Kingdom has shown that more than one-third of respondents did not know that transgender women were born biologically male...The poll, which comes from Scottish-based analysis group Murray Blackburn Mackenzie (MBM), showed that 35% of people sampled were of the belief that a transgender woman was someone who was born as a female, or did not know what the term meant." Not surprisingly, the poll showed that the Millennial and Gen Z ages---the demographics most supportive of the LGBTQ Agenda---were the least knowledgeable on the subject. 

    This study was conducted in Britain: one can only imagine what American numbers would look like. There are times when one doesn't even know what to say, or why even bother. I've written several articles on this subject explaining the science and philosophy behind why this lifestyle is dangerous to a society and how media propaganda and agenda-driven academics are behind it. Then you learn that a plurality of those fanatically defending 'trans rights' don't even know what a transsexual is. 

    What do polls like this prove? Simply that decades of absentee parenting, failed schools, and drug abuse have taken their inevitable toll. Can the situation be reversed? It doesn't look promising. As bad as most of us knew that it was, a poll like this shows that it's actually worse. It shows that a major percentage of our people can be stampeded---like cattle---to anywhere that the social engineers and enemies of Liberty care to send them. Under such conditions, appeals to faith or reason is more or less futile. 

    It also highlights the need that the rest of us have to concentrate on our own communities, build networks of like-minded people, and disengage ourselves from the so-called 'mainstream' as much as we can. A cattle stampede will trample whatever is in its way, or push it over the cliff ahead of them. We have to make sure that we don't share the same fate.
