          With the repeal of Roe v Wade, and the populace becoming okay with gay rights, it's extra important to the right-wing propagandists that they invent something new for their base to be sidetracked with. They've now invented this whole idea of 'grooming' and they can send their base down the rabbit hole of banning books in schools and getting themselves worked up at drag queens. All the while corporate profits hit record highs as rich people use the excuse of 'inflation' to create inflation by jacking up prices and causing people to suffer as the rich rip everyone off. The rich distracting the masses from the damage they are causing to society has been right wing politics 101 since the beginning.

            I'm glad he post stuff like that - it's always good to know what the extreme kooky left is thinking.

                Indeed, that's pretty much right-wing politics in a nutshell. It's a politics of distraction and faked anger at imagined problems. From 'caravans' that are tracked zealously until the day after the election and then seem to stop existing; to cat-identifying kids having litter boxes in schools until it's revealed that the only schools that have litter boxes bought them so that kids who are locked in the classroom during a mass shooting can have somewhere to go to the toilet; to 'groomers' suddenly becoming a massive massive issue conveniently when other right-wing distractions are failing...

                  As you and I have discussed, this is something that existed 2500 years ago. It has not suddenly become a massive problem. The current US right-wing freak-out on this topic isn't reality-based, it's just an orchestrated moral panic to distract from other things.

                      I was noting your distraction from the subject of this thread, but you are free to interpret it otherwise.

                      I don't know what you're talking about regarding litter boxes and caravans.

                        Yeah, no clue.... but it's classic "I know more about your beliefs than you do" nuttery.

                          Let's see.... "suddenly" "massive" "freak-out" "panic".... Do you have fever with these little fits?

                              Queer and drag pedagogy as an extension of critical theory and Marxism did not exist 2500 years ago. It is reality based. If you would like, and if it is acceptable to the mods, when I have the ability, I will start a thread in the padded room with more, less tame, sources.

                              P2)

                              C) I win.

                                I don't really understand your obsession with that topic. Wiki has an article on queer pedagogy and reading that makes it pretty clear it isn't really a thing - the very few experts using the term don't seem to have any agreement or firm opinions themselves about what the term might even mean.
