The more we mock cynical ideologues, the sooner violent virtue signallers may crawl back under the rock they came out from, says Laurence Fox

But these weren’t just any persecuted group.

These were “white Christians.”

The very lowest of the low in the intersectional hierarchy of grievance and permissible hate.

So instead of silence, instead of outrage at the slaughter of the innocent children, from the American president came giggles of delight about ice cream as the young bodies became ever colder, alone on their steel trays in the morgue.

Our own Daily Mirror whimsied about the murderers lost future as a talented artist.

One wonders what we have to look forward to next in this clown world we are forced to perform in.

A lengthy editorial about what a loss to the water-colour community Hitlers untimely death was perhaps?

I myself woke up in clown world this morning to a message from someone in this building asking me to delete a tweet in which I offered a view that I would be less than happy handing over the safeguarding of my children to a body dysmorphic, mentally unwell bloke in wig.

I was being compelled to reject the evidence of my eyes and ears and refer to this “man” as a “woman.” I politely declined. Because call me old fashioned, but in a world beset by deceit and lies, adding another to the pile myself didn’t feel a worthwhile contribution.

The more we mock these cynical ideologues, the sooner perhaps the violent virtue signallers may crawl back under the rock they came out from.

And then, on Thursday came the Policy exchange report about the imposition of gender ideology upon our children in schools.

Titled “Asleep at the wheel” The report is litany of the ways schools routinely overreach their ideological mittens into the sacred business of the family, by socially transitioning children without parental knowledge, and other equally unnatural practices.

One might have thought lessons should really be learned about the damages of socially transitioning young people without parental consent from our pathetic cowardly she-killer in Tennessee - who in defiance and anger of her Christian upbringing and her parents conviction that such things as sex are sacred and immutable - wrought her deadly and bitter revenge on innocent children.

It is impossible not to see this as anything other than what it is anymore.

We are in a spiritual war to protect the very underpinnings of truth itself.

Society cannot function when it subjugates itself to a radical narcissistic cult, hell bent on the destruction of truth.

Society cannot function when schools and the state turn children against their parents, soothing them with the snake oil sadness that a child can be born in the wrong body.

Society cannot function when good men and women deny the truth for fear of the mob. Society cannot function when the mob rules.

Free speech is only free when girdled by empirical truth.

The reductive moral relativism of these postmodern movements, though, deny the very existence of truth itself, preferring the silky comfort of subjectivism and deceit.

Any teacher or parent who panders to the gender cult instead of embracing the genuine privilege of raising children.

Of nurturing and supporting their kids through the harsh realties of real life, as opposed to this upside downy clown world, has let their child down in the most fundamental way.

Just as any adult - who through fear of upsetting the toxically masculine trans mob - refuses to stand up for truth, becomes an accomplice in its murder.

It is possible to love your enemies, and we should.

To hate the sin and not the sinner.

To be wise in the knowledge that all human beings are deeply floored and susceptible to all kinds of evil and malice, But it is also possible to recognise our mistakes and change direction.

If we don’t, how long will it be before a woman is stamped to death for asserting her right to exist and express an opinion, or a child poisoned by this pernicious ideology stalks home to reap the most chilling revenge on their loving parents.
