Not wrong, just ill-timed. There is more to uphold, but we do that by upholding personal freedom because the rest flows from that. I get where you are, I do. I understand what you are saying. I sympathize with the position and am surprised I'm not right there with you. I recently asked myself similar questions because how I feel about my social responsibility is going to inform the moves I make in the next 3-5 years. It's just that we're not gonna win that battle right now. So beating our heads against that wall won't do us any good.
The simple act of preserving what is essentially our culture (even though we are not linked by genes or even geography) is enough of a battle to win right now. I hate to keep going back to the Starting Strength analogy but it just works so fucking well. SS will never take over the globogyms in the current atmosphere. Not because Rip isn't right. Not because he and his tribe aren't hard working. But just because that wave of ideology is too big to fight right now. Best we can do is the narrow-casting that is keeping the program out there and accessible to those of us smart enough to grab on to it. Remember quality over quantity. We create those barriers so we don't have to play their game.
Bonus theory, since I'm 3 beers in.....I think a big part of the current issues stem from the same idea as "Humans are not physically normal in the absence of hard physical effort." I think people have de-stressed, self-cared, and relaxed themselves almost to death. Use it or lose it and excessive relaxation is a slow form of suicide. I think most of the shit we're seeing can be traced back to this concept- up to and including the whole transmen competing as women thing. (Or would that be transwomen? idon'tfuckingknow) Vigorous challenge and striving are good for the mind as well as the body and these people are too busy being proud of themselves for "adulting". They have shriveled the brain cells they needed to realize what Fauci, Biden, et al are doing to them.
