This illustrates something I've said for a while now: progressives don't need to breed, they convert the children conservatives send to college.

Parasites rely on hosts to reproduce. They are not just economic and social leeches, they fester their eggs in the brains of the vulnerable.

That sounds anti-semitic.

Breeding slows down their indoctrination rates and risks, thanks to the biology of humans, a woman listening to her biological requirements of being a mother and not a self destructive bitch. I have personal experience of this thankfully of a family member going from manic to completely sane and dependable mother after giving birth.

The left are in a constant war with nature and biology, why do you think they're on so many drugs ALL the time?

Tradcuck boomers paying parent loans on the indoctrination that took their kids away from them.

Yikes. I only made it two paragraphs in - perhaps I'll finish it later out of sick curiosity - but it's so much worse than you'd expect, actually.

I was expecting generic communist gobbledygook, instead I got ThatHappened-level 'I hate God' gobbledygook.

Also...just fucking lazy. 'If evil exists, how can God?' Really? Is that the best you got?

I don't care if people believe in God or not. I think atheists are wrong, but I bear them no ill will. Now...smug, retarded atheists? Those insufferable bastards can fuck right off, the obnoxious pricks.

EDIT: Oh, and sick fucks advocating atheism for nasty reasons are worse than even the most insufferable atheist.

My sister is one of the smug, retarded atheists. I'm also an atheist but her behavior is almost enough to make me reconsider.

She now acts like we grew up in a repressive, conservative religious household and that's not even close to reality. We had to go to church most Sunday mornings until we were ~14 and then our parents let us stay home. I hated going to church but in the scheme of things it was nothing. My sister willingly joined youth group and eagerly went on trips to Mexico to build houses.

I firmly believe that most women have aniinnate desire to feel oppressed, and they get off on pretending they overcame said "oppression." Or they just like the attention they get from talking about it.

I can rarely get through a New Yorker article, just because of how much sheer fluff there is in the long lead up to "getting to the point". And the overall writing style.

I did note that the article leads up with a classically more extreme example, someone who grew up with Evangelical parents.

Regarding smugness and atheism. From my own experience, this sort of comes hand in hand with younger people, when they're still a little angry and rebellious, usually towards their parents. Some will cool off after a while and gain a more balanced and sober minded perspective while others just continue to obsess over it like self indulgent brats.

Is it because we're in the middle of our very own version of Mao's Cultural Revolution?

I think it is.

My mother was a junkie prostitute who literally left me homeless for months to go on a bender with some niggers she barely knew. I was still in contact with her until she died, though it wasn't warm or good contact.

I can promise not a single person who talks "no contact" has issues even slightly close to that level of cruelty or betrayal, and because of that they all sound like the whiniest, most tantrum throwing children.

My "deep in the kool aid" sister actually did this recently. We had a family get together and she refused to come, because my parents have started becoming more and more anti- liberal. Not even conservative, just critical of the democrats. That's enough to cut off contact.

One very noticeable trend with leftists I'm sure anyone honest will spot is they often come from Christian families and are very resentful of it.

I posted about this above, but I think most of those people are like my sister and they wildly misrepresent how much their parents pushed them towards Christianity.

It's just the excuse they use for being miserable cunts.

It's sometimes a little bit of both. There's often a fair bit of tunnel vision going on, just sort of goes hand in hand with such angst.

Parents can also sometimes be a little more heavy handed towards kids with regards to religion when they first learn that their kid is moving away from religion. Which is understandable, but also liable to spark some conflict and eventual resentment.

parents don't realise that unwittingly they can push their own anxieties onto their children

Yeah, I think I got a lot of my outlook on finances and spending from seeing my parents struggle a lot of the time not because they were broke, but because they were borrowing. Life was better before I was a teenager and we were just poor really. So, I guess in a way it's a positive, but not necessarily everyone will take it that way. I'm just a people watching observer that sponges it all up. It's not even something I do consciously, but if I'm around friends and family, I learn a lot that they think I'd never notice.

That's assuming she doesn't turn her sons into formless homunculi with puberty blockers.

I'm sure grooming is a major factor.

Went into it expecting it was just “ahh my parents like the orange man!” I wasn’t wrong, but holy crap did it go so much further. It’s a damn book, and I had to just skim the second half. I’m starting to think it’s fiction being that it hits every lefty talking point so well.

I can relate to a strict church experience not being great either, because I grew up in that. Not that it’s bad for being strict, but that a teenager that grows up in it from the beginning never has the opportunity to really question and understand why it is they believe beyond their parents told them to. Ask about things, and just like the article says at best they get mad and spit a bunch of verses at you. Also often a bit of church of the Pharisees, meaning rules, technicalities, and hypocrisy. So yeah, when these people get sent to places like college where they are attacked from all sides, their defense sucks, because they never understood what they believe to begin with.

Is it another young woman who lost her parents to Trump and Fox news story?

There's already way less stigma with going minimal or no contact with family than what this article paints compared to a century ago. What I find disturbing is the common theme of halfwit leftists, always oblivious that they are at least as stupid and immoral as their parents.
