Crisis of Distinctions - Progressive Pipe Dream

Yet more evidence of the "sacrificial preparation" proceeding apace with the requisite "crisis of distinctions" - ”Guv strikes state's gender-specific restrooms”

Girard's mimetic theory posits that such break-downs of prohibitions are not only necessary but predictable prerequisites that lead to ritualized re-enactment of the founding violence of a culture. At least, that's the game plan hard-wired into conventional culture. However, few or no such politicians as the Colorado "governor" in the above article have knowledge of this innate sacrificial mechanism at the heart of human culture. For such "progressives" they are doing the next forward-thinking "thing" in the name of multiculturalist ideology - namely, "tolerance" - in what they think will lead to but never call "utopia". Once it is said, the silliness is too apparent, even for "progressives".

Conventional cultures knew very well the reasons for their prohibitions or taboos: it was to keep the populace from straying too dangerously close to flash-points such as murder, adultery, and other such staple (cf. the Book of Leviticus for examples). They knew that such trespasses could lead to the fracturing of communities and societies in escalating, spiraling retribution and retaliation. (Think Hatfields and McCoys, Palestineans and Israelis, Northern Ireland Catholics and Protestants.) The "progressive" pipe dream of eliminating all such distinctions as sexual identity, gender specificity - the ancient yet hard-wired cultural taboos - is a predictable lead-up to the cultural chaos, the "sacrificial preparation," just prior to the orchestrated sacrificial event by a priesthood.

But where is the priesthood of the primitive Sacred today? Those who remember and are trained to carry out such sacrificial violence? The faiths of the Bible have ever tried to move humanity away from the primitive Sacred (read some René Girard if you don't think so), starting with God's words to Cain ("Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.") and leading to the Cross ("Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.") But the "priests" of a another so-called monotheistic religion are trying sacrifice all the time. Read the headlines: beheadings, "honor killings," jihad, qital.

Western "progressives" never, ever put together two words which are the endzone of their "tolerance" efforts: "human" and "sacrifice". Their myth still blinds them to it; else how can they miss what Old Testament prophets would spot in a heartbeat - child sacrifice to Moloch?

So, tell me again, why is this man in the picture smiling?
