Expanding the LGBT Empire While the West Precipitously Declines

A fascinating, albeit appalling, article from late 2023 entitled “Our LGBT Empire” begins with the following paragraph:

“Are we fighting in Ukraine in order to ‘queer the Donbass’? That phrase, which I believe originated with TAC’s editor-at-large Rod Dreher, implies that the ideological package that NATO rallied to Ukraine to defend includes not only freedom and democracy but also pride parades and drag queen story hour. That would, of course, be a ridiculous reason to fight a war. Many Americans don’t want to queer their own kids’ elementary school, much less an industrial Slavic province five thousand miles away.”

The article goes on to examine how American foreign policy, along with virtually everything else in Western civilization, has allowed itself to be conquered by the rainbow jihad because it foolishly believes that being indiscriminately tolerant of sexual aberrancy is the moral equivalent of, say, giving black Americans their full civil rights as citizens. With that as your premise, then, a pride parade is the moral equivalent of a civil rights march in 1963 — or something like that. (Though on the other hand, a drag show is never equated with a minstrel show.)

In any case, so “whipped” is our State Department by rainbow ideology that it feels the need to export it to every corner of the globe. And it does so without much concern for local mores and customs because it stupidly believes it’s bringing enlightenment to backward peoples everywhere.

What a hoot! The same progressives who rail against the past colonialism of the West are guilty themselves of the most insidious form of colonization: they’re literally trying to queer the entire planet by seeding foreign countries and cultures with sexual aberrancy! And so blinded are they by their own narcissistic virtue! It signals that they are utterly unconcerned with the inexorable negative consequences, especially in more traditional societies. Talk about the ugly Americans.

So, what could possibly go wrong with a foreign policy like that? How’d it go in Afghanistan, for instance? Did the pride flags flying at our embassy change many hearts and minds? Were we able to successfully queer that country? Well, how about just the cosmopolitan city of Kabul, then? Make a lot of headway there, did we? Did drag queen story hour become a big draw at the local bazaars? Was the Kabul nonbinary community flourishing because of our influence? Did Pride Month give Ramadan a run for its money?

Or was it related to our leaving there in disgrace after twenty years, with our tails tucked between our legs? Maybe not directly, but here’s the thing: If any part of the foreign policy of a country is reduced to promoting decadence and depravity to all parts of the world, that country is finished—or very nearly so. It’s bad enough that we have fallen into such a degenerate state ourselves, but to promote that to others is beyond the pale. And however primitive the mentality of the Taliban might be, they clearly recognize a dying civilization when they see it. Theirs was the stronger will and they prevailed.

Despite such Western lunacies as “Queers For Palestine,” the rainbow jihad can’t possibly stand up to an Islamic one. A dying, decadent civilization cannot defeat a strong, confident one, however nuclear-armed the former and however backward the latter might be. Will and conviction go a long way. Our civilization is floundering in its feminized, nihilistic decadence and alphabetic pride. Islam, on the other hand, has total confidence in itself and is busily colonizing clueless Western countries, taking advantage of their self-loathing and imbecilic tolerance of any and everything.

Interestingly, a Republican-authored provision in a government funding bill earlier this year effectively banned the flying of pride flags “over” U.S. embassies. (Who knew Republicans had that kind of gumption?) However, it doesn’t prevent the displaying of those flags elsewhere on embassy grounds. And any embassy that wants to, can become, in effect, a walled-in, mini-San Francisco. So, they can wallpaper the buildings with those things from floor to ceiling, in every room, including the basement, and the subbasement, and gender-neutral bathrooms; the the janitor’s closet, the safe room, the security guard shacks, and the tool shed, and the . . .

You get the idea. Consequently, any representative of the country where an American embassy is located can still get a good, hard dose of pride when doing business there. And if he’s offended by it, well, that’s because he’s an ignorant bigot who needs to be taught better. And as everyone knows, such hubris and single-minded devotion to aberrant sexual practices are a great boon to international diplomacy.

So, one might reasonably ask, what the hell? What in tarnation? Why would a (formerly) great country promote sexual deviancy around the world? Well, because that country is now running — or rather, sputtering — on the fumes of its former greatness, and its depraved leaders have no self-awareness that it’s in a state of total decadence and decline. And in that decadent state, they foolishly believe that promoting the rainbow is virtuous.

They don’t realize that America, and the West, is a cut-flower civilization that is withering rapidly as it has been cut off from its foundational roots: Judeo-Christian religion and morality. They don’t understand that given the fallen state of man, what fills that moral vacuum is primarily depravity and evil.

It’s pretty much a straight line downward from “tolerance” and “diversity,” to “love is love,” to gay marriage, to drag queen story hour, to transing the children, to “minor-attracted persons,” and on to whatever comes next, which will likely be some combination of transhumanism and sexual perversion — if we get that far before it all collapses.

What country in the world, besides other fallen Western countries, would respect America as it seeks to spread an “LGBT empire”? What country in the world respects American military power, knowing that its armed forces have been queered and trans-ed? What country in the world looks at America’s ignominious retreat from Afghanistan and says, “At least they flew the pride flag till the end!” Like it was some kind of honorable Afghan Alamo.

I do have to admit that in reading the aforementioned article, “Our LGBT Empire,” I laughed out loud at the name of the gay classical music group to which we gave tens of thousands of dollars to perform in Kazakhstan, of all places: the Well-Strung Quartet. Get it? LOL! Laughing all the way to our downfall, after which Kazakhstan will still be standing, but not because they were queered by the Well-Strung Quartet. Rather, because they weren’t.

We are certainly living in interesting times. What could be more interesting than a 500-year dominant civilization destroying itself in a vain and godless, slow-motion fit of nihilistic depravity? That’s one for the books! Hmm . . . I wonder which of our enemies will eventually conquer or supplant us. Food for thought.

And more food for thought: What will happen to the alphabet people after the West has fallen? Let’s just say, the proverbial closet is going to get very crowded.

In any case, when it’s all said and done, future historians will have a field day with all of this. Far sooner, though, we may be able to read memoirs, perhaps with titles like “How We Stopped Putin’s Aggression — And Queered the Donbass in the Process.”
