Yes. Do the people who encourage mental illness really think they're helping the sick person? I've heard this bizarre argument that "if your child was transgender, you would love transgenderism because that's who he/she/xi is". That's idiotic. That's like saying that if my child was a cocaine addict, I should logically love cocaine addiction because that's who he is. No. If my son was a cocaine addict, I'm quite sure that I would hate cocaine addiction with a passion. Precisely because it was destroying my son's life.

The absurdity is surrealistic. That our culture has come to this is not so surprising. Having shunned our pre-60's values, given God the boot, and allowed progressivism full rein, it is no wonder that we are in a state of absolute decline - once a great country, establishing a polity and a culture like no other before it, we reached our apogee in the 50's and it's been downhill ever since. We have never been perfect by any stretch, but affluence and lack of fear for our safety since WW11 has done its work, creating a soft, self-indulgent, narcissistic population, only concerned with comfort and material gain with no self restraint, happily controlled by our superior minders.

The tough hard work of building character and resilience; creating anything of monumental and lasting value; recognizing that there is something greater than ourselves has become an anachronism. Now we navel-gaze and out of ennui venture into areas that were once thought to be nothing short of the wide open door to hell.

Give the majority UBI and entertainment and they will gladly eat bugs, live in a cubby-sized warren and be happy to be told what to think, do and say. The response to the so-called pandemic has graphically revealed many for what they are - mindless herd animals.

If a person suffering from Schizophrenia told you their auditory hallucinations were telling them to do this or that; would you sanction that activity?

What about a person suffering from deep depression? Do their urges of suicide require affirmation?

That's like saying: "Nice dumpster fire of a life you have. Here's a liter of gas
