I have a question @drbastiat. Reflecting upon your recent post, I believe you have not gone far enough in asking why. I too was interested to know why this degrading (for viewer and participant) olympic freak show was necessary. And your suggestion is that these fantasizers and their 'allies' are out to destroy Western civilization. My question is why? Are they really too blinded by their own glitter and self-importance and personal desires and unreality that they do not understand that it is Western civilization that protects them and allows them to parade their evil? It is the political systems based on Judeo-Christian traditions that are holding back the barbarians. Without Western civilization, these freaks would not exist.
I do not personally know any drag queens, or any other of the types of people that would participate in this filth. I do not know their motivations. However, I am no longer of a mind to 'live and let live.' The simple suggestion is that they are just stupid - living for today, who cares about tomorrow, living for myself, who cares about you. I find that hard to believe, not necessarily for those who participate, but for those who facilitate, who fund, who support, who must have some reason to be a part of this evil. That is what is frightening. What is the true ultimate goal here?

Fifty+ years ago, I read about cults/organization such as the Order of the Golden Dawn. I even let someone talk me into going the Transcendental Meditation route, personalize mantra and all. I still wonder, when I think about it at all, whether those people are just con artists fleecing the naïve, or if they are true believers.
As far as the performers are concerned, maybe Cole Porter had it right back in 1934.

Why? Over the last few years I have come to the conclusion that there are people who derive their identity from being obnoxious in their words, their actions and their personal appearance. Some are so anxious to be noticed that they will do literally anything to draw attention to themselves, be it positive or negative.

I think evil does exist in the world. I would like not to, but can't convince myself anymore that it doesn't.

Why?
Because the success of Western Civilization exposes all others as failures, and They resent it. They hate Western Civilization, because Them and Their ancestors fail in comparison.
It's easier to hate and destroy, than to improve oneself.
Damn near all My Life I've stated, "Don't give to other countries. If They are 'hungry, war torn, or what ever,' then be like America."

I think Glenn Harlan Reynolds has a good explanation. They do nasty stuff like this because they can -- and it's an in-your-face power play:
