What is the path back for an entire generation of indoctrinated Communists? Not to mention a nation-wide educational system that needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.\
To undoctrinate these people would seem to be on the scale, duration, and expense of kidnapping/deprogramming cult members popular in previous decades - no trivial task.
Thank you for a thought-provoking article and God Bless!
Thanks Simon I am very glad to here of this movement within Academia. Everyone openly speaking the Truth will help bring about the Best That's Yet to Come all the soon.
I truly believe We the People are a vast majority and our ranks are growing daily.
The world is changing for the better and I believe we will see a very dramatic paradigm shift and things like education and medicine in the future will look nothing like we have today.
As a University Professor who believes God called her to the field, I appreciate this statement you made: "It’s tempting to dismiss the academic class as over-educated and dissociated from ‘the real lives we’re all living." All too often, we do get dismissed, though there are more conservative, non-woke professors out there than people realize. My university does not have these crazy protests, I am not seeing an increase in the use of "accomodations." I have had very interesting conversations with students about current events and realize that, at least in my classrooms, many students are conservative, concerned about what is happening in the world around them, and understand what is at stake. Unfortunately, what gets into the media (on both sides of the aisle) are the liberal universities with the crazy liberal professors. Part of the problem is also the parents. The parents who buy into the liberal ideology influence their kids. The parents that don't buy into that ideology, those are the students who I see in my classroom. Perhaps its a midwest thing, but I think there is more good out there in general in the university students than we know, than we hear about. Just a University Professor's two cents worth...
What a revealing article, Simon! Besides the details, you’ve given hope that this generation is beginning to understand! That’s critical for our future. God bless you.🙏
I enjoy the accomplishments of Badlands, which I find myself reading more than others due mainly for the smart, revolutionary content. That being said, your topic is an actual, currently on going, personal matter of interest to me. I’m in the midst, or more specifically my son is in the current clutches of this misguided and fully infiltrated ideologic phenomenon at his so-called institution of higher learning. Unfortunately, my brazen attempts to shed light on his situation to try to enlighten him, I believe, are only driving him further away from truth and his father and family. Not to get too long winded, I appreciate the work and progress you’re entailing in this piece, and will continue praying for a breakthrough moment for my son and of course others going through similar circumstance. God Bless!!!
We have a son who though not awake was very influenced by my sharing your references to Heterodox Academy...so indirectly I gained credibility by having read your materials and sent him to the Coddling of the American Mind as a resource.
As always your thoughtful approach and willingness to provide the less informed the background we need help to communicate.
Thats a hell of a reason to come to protest something you know nothing about.... 'I traveled here because I heard everyone else was doing it'. This speaks volumes about 'What it means to be stupid', a book not written yet!! Maybe someone should put the word out that everyone is jumping off a bridge into a lake, to protest something for Palestine, and see how many of these Nincompoops show up to partake! A great social experiment.
One of the first things I read on Substack was an essay by a detranstioner (link below). Two things struck me. One was how similar the phenomenon is to that of eating disorders a generation ago (and still ongoing). Families frantic about the evident self harm. If you ever watched the actress from Growing Pains who had severe anorexia at one point interviewed when she was deep into it, it is quite disturbing to see how far they fall into the trap of their minds and I see a very similar theme with Trans. But there is an element a power struggle as well and usually there are other issues going on that make people susceptible to it. Same tactics in the Trans movement. Example: my friend's brother has three sons and the middle one decided he was a she a couple of years ago. However, when he announced on his social media but included a hastag about burned out middle child, I thought. "Bullshit kid; you don't believe you are a girl, you have Jan Brady Syndrome and this is your way of getting attention." But his family doesn't see that because they are too caught up in it.
The other thing is how much detranstioners are treated like Suppresive Persons in Scientology. If you have watched any of Leah Remini's series on Scientology, there are a lot of echoes. Scientology is the butt of a lot of jokes, but their Totalitarianism is pretty aggressive and is reminiscent of a lot of tactics I see with the weaponization of government. It is spooky.
Great post, Simon.

Excellent. Catherine, thank you. I just had a good giggle after a slightly stressful day.
God bless
G😊lad I could lighten your day...
Very exciting that you can include “unapproved” videos on Substack ☺️

About six months ago, PBD did a podcast with a couple of detranstioners that further illustrate the tactics. Eye opening and worth the watch:
