When the COVID hysteria was exposed as unscientific fraud, all of a sudden many of the Woke started writing and posting about the need for "amnesty" for those who'd advocate for school shutdowns and shuttering of "non-essential businesses." They were afraid they would be held responsible.

I assume the same thing will happen over the widespread pushing of children into irreversible mutilating surgery. Already, Europe is moving to stop any sex-change surgery until adulthood - and even then, only after counseling, waiting periods, etc.

I hope there is no amnesty - hold people accountable. The courts should allow the pending lawsuits against doctors, hospitals, and school counselors to move forward. The country deserves to hear how this all happened. (And the latest discovery that children being urged into surgery and hormone treatment are disproportionately autistic is truly disturbing.)

Good piece Sasha. Just speaking to a friend today about the woke narrative. It is starting to slide off the medias narrative due to the fact that the majority of the country is tuning them out and fighting back against the radical Progressive cult propaganda (there is an election coming up....again).

What doesn't grow old that normal people desire is, peace and quite with a dash of stay the fuck out of my business.

I hope we get back there soon.

The New York Times, the Democrats, David French, they all need to learn the same lesson. You can only feed the crocodile for so long before the crocodile comes for you.

The current lemming-rush to transify every child, and to exult every gender manipulation will one day be seen the way we now see the lobotomy abomination of the 40s & early 50s.

Tens of thousands of people had their brains mangled in the use of surgical treatments for psychiatric or neurological disorders. (Just exactly like today’s cult doctors are mangling breasts, genitals, facial bones and hormones in the use of surgical treatments for psychiatric or neurological disorders.) And, like now, society’s sickest, most vulnerable people were the ones under the knife.

The lobotomy cult reached the highest levels of society. Both JFK and Tennessee Williams had sisters (both named Rose) who were lobotomized. António Moniz, the doctor who originated the lobotomy procedure, won the Nobel prize for medicine in 1949.

They were the Empire, too.

Excellent piece, Sasha!!

Yep - you did, in fact, leave a cult. The good news is that there are people who welcome you upon your arrival in the real world.

Also, you don't have to worry about your parents having to hire de-programmers - you left on your own.

Welcome home!

Great article and I can relate. I was raised by a single mom in San Francisco during the 60’s and 70’s ( myself and my two younger sisters). My mom took us to peace marches etc. we were raised Democrat.

My mom taught workshops at Esalen institute in Big Sur and took us there. She put us in EST training and she went to Arica.

I left the Democratic Party in the 80’s. My mlm voted for Obama twice. She told us to give him a chance.

She is now 88 years old and living in San Francisco. My whole family has become closet conservatives, including my mom.

I don’t recognize this party anymore.

The modern left is utopian and should be viewed as the same breed of cat as the Bolsheviks, Maoists, Jacobins, and Fascists of yesteryear.

What it is we’ve been searching for on the Left is simply a way to replace the religion we lost long ago. I know that now. That is something I am going to have to find a way to reconcile in my own mind and heart.

Powerful statement.

I'll probably be mulling that over for a few days.

I hope this is read, I want to correct people on Barack Obama.

Barack Obama was nothing more than George Bush the 3rd. He took two wars that George W. Bush lied us into and expanded it to 5 more. He bombed Pakistan, started the war in Syria, returned slavery to Libya, and bombed Yemen and Somalia.

Libya was bombed, supposedly, to "prevent a humanitarian crisis". It was left in civil war with operating slavery markets after Qaddafi (no angel himself), was murdered by having a bayonet shoved up his rectum.

Syria was bombed, not because "Assad used chemical weapons", which he likely did not, but because Israel wanted to solidify control on the Golan Heights, and a company named Genie Energy had secured a contract with Israel to mine the oil resources of the Golan - even though this was Syrian land. Genie Energy found oil and natural gas deposits there before, supposedly, Assad "gassed his own people". By claiming that Assad attacked people in the Golan, this gave the US an excuse to go to war with Syria.

Obama was every bit as much as a mass murderer as George W. Bush was. Have we found those weapons of mass destruction yet that Hussein supposedly was secretly making?

800,000 Iraqis are estimated to have been killed in that war. There's no figures I know of for the deaths in Syria, or Afghanistan, although I imagine they are high. It's claimed 250,000 Yemeni children have died in the war that Saudi Arabia is waging with US help and full support.

All of our "leaders" are just sociopaths, murderous criminals, the mafia - a mafia that has no respect for life, and complete contempt for the people that venerate them. The real mafia, that I've seen, isn't just complete criminals, they had SOME standards. The government doesn't. They will kill 800,000 Iraqis just as easily as they will kill you.

Are you vaccinated and boosted? We'll see how that turns out in the next few years. This for a disease that has a 99.8% survivability rate across the ENTIRE population. If you're 18 or younger, you have a statistically 0 chance of dying from it. The AVERAGE age of somebody that actually died from the disease was beyond average human life expectancy and our government is mandating you take a vaccine for it. A vaccine that doesn't give you immunity, and doesn't stop the spread of the disease an is totally experimental. I knew a researcher that works on DNA vaccines, until 2003, where she left the field considering it a failure - FOUR companies came up with magic solutions at the same time using mRNA - and they've been working on this technology for 30 years. What are the chances they actually got it right?

You have to realize what you're up against, and stop thinking that there's big powerful people that will love and protect you. You're looking for a mommy or daddy replacement. You're an adult now.

Thanks again Sasha. I grew up in a similar time as you (I’m 57), but polar opposite. Southern, conservative, Christian, military for 8 years, equally blue collar, Republican. Guess what? With the exception of Donald Trump and a handful of his close political allies, I am as disillusioned with my right wing as you are of your left. They are truly 2 sides of the same coin.

Thank you! I've been looking for this essay for years now. It just hadn't been written yet.

Sasha,

You Rock!

Having had two family members in a cult for years, (now out), I know what you are writing about. And you are spot on.

The binary view of the world--the us and them, we are good and they are unredeemably morally bad --is a huge red flag. This is the same dynamic as battered women syndrome scaled up to a large population.

There is just no ability to discuss issues that would have been considered beyond fringe only a few years ago.

This closed-mindedness is so pervasive. It’s disgusting.

Keep up the good work. I increased my support to founding member today.

Thanks for all your writing.

Sasha- regarding the walk away from religion, I see it more like a walk away from the Truth. The truth about God, sin, forgiveness, and how to live with one another in peace. I’d like to recommend a book by C.S. Lewis titled Mere Christianity. Lewis was an atheist who became a Christian later in life and it is an easy read. This book has profoundly changed my life for the better. I hope it can do the same for you as you ponder the deep questions of life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us via Substack!

The Woke Democratic Party has optimized its own eventual destruction by taking actions and making policies that will ensure they get fewer and fewer votes. Those actions will minimize incomes for their base and also reduce their base. The actions include bit are not limited to; ensuring blacks get a worthless education by having caved to teachers Union, fostering black on black crime by establishing Soros DAs in major cities - they don prosecute and as a result cops don’t arrest and criminals kill without fear of incarceration, uncritical support for CIA FBI NSC and endless war in Ukraine; welfare policies that ensure black fathers will not raise their own children; (btw witness Baltimore math proficiency scores - 97% of students fail their grade level proficiency tests); alienating Hispanic and Asian voters; alienating straight white men; insisting on 3rd trimester abortions; emphasizing and authorizing race over merit in school and employment. Their base will dwindle and suffer the consequences of letting others do productive work in a globally competitive world.
