hopefully, your questions will be answered, and the Holy Spirit will bless you with understanding. God wants to draw you to Him.
2 Peter 3:9
8Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice:
With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
9The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
10But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.…

So, in one part of America school students are facing arrest for sharing illegal porn including bestiality while in another part of America middle school students are being taught by the school that it's okay to do these things as long as safe sex practices are being followed.
Here is the root of "critical theory" which is behind all of the lunacy in education and public policy. I think they give them too much credit for the "sexual revolution", but they're definitely the impetus behind the Maoist lunatics running wild on the streets and in academia.
There is nothing graphic in the video, BTW. I've found that YouTube, and the various "big tech" social media companies tend to do everything they can to censor anyone and anything which criticizes Marxist theory. There are no graphic scenes, or even rough language in the video. It just reveals the history of "critical theory"...

28min^^^ - Outsider,
Thank you. i’ve been informally learning about all these men, Marxism, The Frankfurt School, etc., in recent months .. on this forum, mostly through Falco and Honduras Keiser, but, several have discussed.
From my life experience, i don’t think they over credited about the sexual revolution, however, i don’t think that revolution would have rocketed as it did without the widespread availability of free/cheap birth control pills (and more). These upended the world history of females essentially being “keepers of the gate” of carnal morality. Added to that timing, were Vietnam, and U.S. Civil Rights conflicts. The mix provided a place+time for sexual free-fall.
Interesting how they noted the “entitled” generation all this rode on.
i had little appreciation at the time, but, it was my family’s poverty that prevented me from falling headlong into it.
i didn’t understand then. i was puzzled that so many of my peers, and a bit older, could have both the resources and confidence to just indulge like they did. no personal accountability, at all. i presumed i just wasn’t as smart as they. only later did i figure it out.
they could live “with careless abandon” - because they knew very well, at any point, they could just go home to mom+dad’s place.
i hope Falco and HK view and comment.
One thing that deserves more emphasis (imho) -
The highly seductive nature of appealing to egos+I.Q.s.
The language and thought processes appeal to and challenge intellect, thus, esp in academia, people FIGHT to “get it.”
Frankly, it offers a path to assurance, because you can “get it,” you are, therefore, “better than.”
Of course, not stated in so many words. But in every human way possible. Intellect is god.
Interestingly, the theories ARE “within reach” - esp for those with just enough language skills. Quite cerebral.
Appeal to intellectual egos is no different than in any other human scenario. Flattery. Proverbs 29:5
It’s a trap. Those trapped cannot bear the thought.
That would equate to admitting error.
Thomas Sowell speaks to this conundrum in various ways.
He’s an interesting phenom. He IS an academic. He retains his common sense.
i intend to add to the THOMAS SOWELL thread. he began as a Marxist, then grew out of it as he learned more.
TS is in his 90’s. The world needs hundreds of 40 year old Thomas Sowells!
i may try to record the audio. youtube might cancel.

An example of a painful moment in U.S. history.
Upstaging POTUS at SOTU. (Btw, quite a good speech, well delivered.) A DNC political coup. Insurrection?
2020:
Whatever it was, it was UGLY. No moral defense on any level.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The White House has announced President Joe Biden will be skipping out on this year's State of the Union address, which will instead feature a 90-minute broadcast of a dumpster engulfed in flames. Both houses of congress are expected to assemble as usual as the raging dumpster fire roars into a microphone.
House Sergeant at Arms William J. Walker will light the dumpster at the commencement of the address. Members of Congress are then expected to applaud in a partisan manner as the cathartic flames burn brightly into the night.
According to sources, this is the first act of Biden's presidency to receive genuine bipartisan support.
Congressional Democrats feel the move to a dumpster fire is fitting given that the president can't string two sentences together, and Republicans are planning to boo anything anyway.
"We don't expect much difference in this year's State of the Union compared to previous years," explained Press Secretary Jen Psaki. "No one's going to watch it and then political pundits will read way too much into it as usual."
NBC reporter Peter Alexander asked, "Isn't this just a waste of everyone's time?"
Psaki was unable to hide her displeasure with the question.
"The president feels, and I agree, that the people are ready for some honest answers. We feel that a flaming pile of garbage best articulates what the president is trying to convey at this point in time."
The State of the Union will be broadcast on March 1st at 9 PM EST on C-Span.
Experts believe it may become one of the highest-rated State of the Union addresses ever as viewers tune in to see if the fire will get out of control and burn down the Capitol building.

If this holds true that of all Mennonite church members in the world only 20% are considered or consider themselves 'conservative' (which perhaps someone knows where good stats could be found), then just how much special accommodation needs be considered for the 20%.
Oh, I don’t know. What percentage is homosexual? What percentage is transsexual? How much accommodation is made for them?

You violated the OP request.
Oops. Sorry.
You're forgiven but you only have 489 of these left. Matthew 18:21-22.
