Abortion as birth control, to the point of infanticide, has been normalized by feminist activism. Transgender choices nowadays are rewarded by social 'standing'. Social media has created false social rewards for extreme attention seeking. Peoples addiction to social media never satisfies loneliness, but gives people temporary high's instead. Eventually individuals escalate extremes of choices and behaviors in order to fill an emotional void, and compete with their peers for attention. Social media algorithms are designed, and proven to be addictive, but people still fall into their trap.

Indeed Sir Bjorn.. Education is very important. Its very poor at the moment. They start very young with manipulation. They continuously change the books.

Here Is an example of the Modern madness, Young Boys in English schools have been told that they cannot wear shorts in Schools, but they can wear Skirts if they want ! ?

I think part of the problem is that regular people (decent, rational) didn't call people out on their crazy behavior or stupid crap they spewed. We didn't push back when the schools & sports gave everyone a trophy, even if they didn't put in effort. We didn't pay enough attention to what our politicians were doing and laws they were enacting. In the U.S. we just want to be left alone to live our life. We put up with a lot of stuff because we worked on the premise that "that's their business as long as they don't push it on me." Well, they started pushing it on everyone . . . demanding we act, talk, think certain ways. Bullying those who didn't. They are bullies! Just like the ones we dreaded in school.

Here in England, they have turned of the old 3 G network, stopping many older phones from working at all !

Wait till those children are adults and start suing their parent, and docs who allowed this.

Throughout history governments tend to drift from acting in their constituent’s best interests. Due to our short memories we are slowly relearning this lesson. Corruption is inherent to an institution which centralizes power and wealth.

Pelosi has been around since the beginning of time and I still don't understand who votes for her.

Hello Bjorn,
I decided to put something here, rather in the chat window. I listened to your talk for about 20 minutes or so. I think that this extremism we see is a progression from enlightenment values taken to an extreme, that is to say, elevating the primacy of the individual over the group and that truth is a rather malleable thing subject to perspective, and now some are seeking define basic values that are deemed inconvenient. Once I was at a social justice organizing meeting and one the speakers there said that "there is no such thing as race", to which I at the back of the room objected and said that "race is a biological construct if one is trying classify differences, etc." Since then I have heard people say that "there is no such thing as race from an anthropological view". Mmm. Interesting. Plants and animals are given races by name and even the grasses have tribes. My take is that there are super smart people out there, who actually are not so smart, that are trying be politically correct to avoid harming people with categories and words they judge as empowering oppression. They invent all kinds of new terms for things that are perplexing. But there's much more to this as your talk about the unborn babies points out, that a shift in basic values is working. Conjecture - Some people are lost being their own masters for too long without understanding the limits of our common humanity in the real, natural world. There is an academic rebellion against convention and traditional wisdom I guess. In the States, it is hard to find establishment political parties, that once championed working class people, doing anything concrete with legislation; but promoting half baked soft-sells of alternative cultural issues that are more sensitive and less abusive supposedly. In my opinion, this is cover for not doing their real job.

Just because actions are orchestrated by Governments doesn't mean they are not acts of terrorism.
When your actions are in sync with American/ UK foreign policy you are called a 'freedom fighter'... If not a 'terrorist'. If Governments are behaving in an increasingly extreme way the free citizen has an increasing urge/right to react in an extreme way. Actually the onus and ethics are with that free citizen who is reacting to gov extremism

New thing, we get hit by is people saying can't cut even the bark of a tree, we don't touch old majestic trees or use more than we need,

About the Gender Identity,
AIUI, they are not arguing about Sex.
They are not saying people with XX chromosomes
are not female.
They are saying that 'Gender' is a role,
ie raising children, cooking, fighting, bread-winner.
To conflate the two is probably to spring various 'traps'
in definitions of words and redefinitions of words.

The world went and got crazy, this is why we try to stay off grid, , knowing bushcraft comes in handy at times like this

[pammierae]

As to your subject "How did extremism become mainstream?" I feel that the masses have been groomed to except this.. as in right became wrong, good became bad, truth became lies..exc..the powers that be have generated mass confusion for many..which also allowed those who are extremist to come out of the wood work..

Valhalla here I come! Love the vids Bjorn!

Once upon a time in my life my Father handed me a book 'My Body, Myself' told me to read it and we'd discuss it 'at the table'. I read it and we, my parents with 2 younger siblings running thru discussed views openly. There are men and women in this world what they choose to do with their body is their choice...it is a personal choice and should not be pushed on others. Abortions in my opinion, should be something between the pregnant individual and the medical doctor period. Back in the late 70s I spent at least 10 hours a week educating people about sex...to think someone could be in college level learning environment and honestly beleived one could become pregnant by just touching parts was and continues to be beyond my understanding.
