Rules for Retrogrades: Forty Tactics to Defeat the Radical Left

by Timothy J. Gordon

Mod-cons would be well-served to understand, for example, that the debate over gun-control isn’t about reducing deaths; it’s about making people more dependent on government by depriving them of self-sufficiency. Likewise, the debate over abortion isn’t about “a woman’s right to choose”; it’s about “freeing” women from the home by enabling women’s careerism. The debate over unfettered immigration isn’t about relieving the world’s poor, tired, huddled masses; it’s about ushering in globalism and undermining the sovereignty of the nation-state. The debate over raising taxes isn’t really about balancing the budget; it’s about income redistribution. The debate over “climate change” isn’t really about protecting the environment; it’s about handicapping the economies of first-world nations so that third-world nations can achieve parity of wealth. The debate over gay-“marriage” isn’t about “equality of rights”; it’s about debasing and undermining Matrimony and the family, which are viewed as patriarchal and oppressive. The debate about “trans” rights isn’t about respecting human dignity; it’s about undermining the moral order and crushing sexual taboos.
