You're Invited to the Ball This Pride Month… No RSVP Required

Building a better future, one repurposed genitalia at a time

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.”
Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or

In our times, LGBT$XYZ+-% issues stand out more than Dylan Mulvaney’s stubble or Laverne Cox’s Adam’s apple. But reaching this point has been no easy journey. We’re locked in a bloody battle against nature—one that we seem to be winning with relentless propaganda, experimental drugs, and all the radical surgeries required to ensure everyone conforms to their ‘true’ selves.

Moreover, the good old war against common sense rages on. Battle lines have been redrawn. Used to be a time when genital mutilation was seen as a barbaric crime, and chemical castration was an exclusive privilege, reserved for the sickest of predators. Not anymore. By 2024, these practices are prescribed to children.

Each June, the air is painted with rainbows, and dog whistles echo from the minarets. It’s the time of year we celebrate those who have never shed blood as either a man or a woman.

We parade happily through our modern-day Luitpoldarenas, displaying corporate scalps and political spoils. Yet, let’s be honest—many of us feel as though we’ve been shanghaied onto this madcap journey, like unwitting passengers on a runaway trainwreck.

From Scapegoat to Golden Calf

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
Simone de Beauvoir

Without the genuine purpose that brings civic and religious holidays to life, ‘Pride Month’ is animated by corporate suits and media spin to feign significance—a pathetic attempt to inject meaning. Beneath it all lies René Girard’s idea of ‘mimetic desire’: the rainbow crowd does not desire what they deem just or beautiful, but what they believe others desire.

The surge of LGBT-identifying zoomers illustrates this. Like every generation before them, they struggle with their identities, but now, driven to extremes by peer pressure, they tear themselves apart in a frantic quest for approval.

Girard nailed this behaviour long ago. Human institutions, he posited, are built on rituals, with sacrifice at the pinnacle. Mimetic desire fuels both the lust for scapegoats and the dread of becoming one—a dissenter transformed into a vessel for society’s pent-up tensions and hatred, whose sacrifice offers only temporary peace built on the illusion of rectifying injustices.

These sacrifices? They don’t fix anything. They just scratch an irrational itch for revenge, blaming some made-up god (supernatural or psychological, it doesn’t matter) for our evils, when really, it’s all coming from within us.

Christianity, once in history, broke this cycle. Christ called out this whole charade, asserting the innocence of victims, the futility of sacrifices, and the deceit of scheming gods. He championed individual repentance over social vengeance, restoring the logical link between actions and consequences and paving the way towards moral consciousness and an objective knowledge of nature.

For the first time in history, forgiveness triumphed over vengeance, and we understood why, without casting ill intent on those who antagonise us.

Taking this for granted invites danger. Totalitarianism looms when the prevailing culture discards ancient mythologies yet refuses Christianity. Without its moral compass, history’s pattern of victimisation recurs, targeting varied groups—from the ‘bourgeoisie’ to ‘Jews’, ‘Blacks’, the ‘unborn’, and now the ‘far-right’ and so-called ‘toxic males’.

Take Nazism, which spurned Christianity and drew inspiration from Nietzsche and his love for old-school human sacrifices. Socialism? Just a cheap knock-off, swapping Christ’s messages of mercy and redemption with the state’s agenda of control and uniformity.

Even so, these corrupt ideologies can’t help but sometimes mimic Christian doctrine. ‘Pride Month’, for instance, feeds off (or, better yet, preys upon) these foundations, impersonating a form of ‘Christian virtues gone mad’, to use G.K. Chesterton’s phrase.

Modern liberal democracies pervert this further, transforming victimhood into a virtue and spawning a vengeful priesthood that seeks to dismiss Christ’s redemption as a secular creed, elevating perceived scapegoats to the status of messiahs of a godless new church.

Of course, these proverbial false messiahs are the modern equivalents of golden calves. A poor interpretation of Matthew 23:12, “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” This principle, often misused, assumes that a sword which cuts both ways must cut evenly, which is rarely the case.

Léopold Szondi’s ‘Cain complex’ expands on mimetic desire and scapegoating, revealing how these dynamics manifest on a larger societal scale—resulting in us turning each other into punching bags, from the mutilation and castration of children to enforced speech and looting, all ostensibly to ease societal tensions.

Erich Fromm, a dim star in the Frankfurt School, merged radical socialism with Orientalism in an attempt to co-opt Christianity and Judaism through a Marxist lens, presenting his passions and preferences as respectable, scholarly arguments.

Breaking from the theoretical musings of Lukács, Adorno, and Horkheimer, Fromm joined the American Socialist Party and immersed himself in the anti-war movement, advocating for nuclear disarmament and opposing U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

Later disclosures by the FBI and West Germany revealed that Soviet intelligence exploited these movements as instruments of asymmetric warfare, aiming to coax the U.S. into unilateral disarmament, with no reciprocity from the USSR or China. Today, the emergence of a ‘non-binary’ TikTok army defending Hamas seems like a reiteration of this pattern. Rinse and repeat?

Be Like Water

“Water is fluid, soft and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Originally, modern legal systems were designed to keep blood feuds in check. As cities grew and societies secularised, laws expanded to cover secondary aspects of life, thereby increasing state power beyond the intended scope of new ‘rights’.

This backdrop framed the clumsy ‘evolution’ from natural rights to human rights over the past century. In hindsight, the necessity to resist the woke agenda that increasingly exploits ‘Pride Month’ to embed these new, arbitrary ‘human rights’ into our daily lives becomes clear.

Rights cause no inherent substance; they’re just the effect of someone else’s obligations. If you claim that children have the right to be safe but cannot pinpoint who is responsible for protecting them, then what? They will not be protected by vague ‘human rights’ enforced by whimsical modern deities but by the clear responsibilities that adults owe to them.

Resisting the normalisation of ‘Pride Month’ by boycotting ‘allied brands’ is a vital and tangible way to protect our children. Pushing back against the ‘rights’ to compel speech and deny biological truths, while putting others at risk, is crucial.

Rights necessitate obligations. And, as noted by Kuehnelt-Leddihn and H.L. Mencken, new laws require new cops. And with new laws come new criminals, increasingly judged by their thoughts rather than their actions—labelled as ‘homophobes’, ‘transphobes’, accused of ‘genocide’ through ‘hate speech’. Speak out and you’re branded a heretic; object and you’re deemed a thug.

If we allow politics to govern every aspect of personal identity, the new sheriffs will see Michel Foucault’s dystopian vision realised: sex as the paramount political agenda. Even kids are not spared, their private lives turned into public spectacles that demand universal validation, leaving no space for genuine self-discovery.

Childhood should be a time free from consequences, a celebration of possibilities rather than actualities. As Kierkegaard suggests, kids ought to be dreaming, to be self-centred, unencumbered by reality.

Yet some adults remain stuck in this phase, caught in perpetual adolescence, becoming devout hedonists who sincerely believe it is their sacred duty to jeopardise children’s futures in an effort to save themselves from their own unresolved issues.

Thus, the increasing backlash against ‘Pride Month’ — it’s set its sights on kids, and fewer people are buying what they’re selling.

Cross-sex Hormones and Circuses

“[...] Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People [...] now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses”
Juvenal, Roman poet

Yet, the empty indulgence of Pride continues to infiltrate the core of society. Dysfunctions like schizophrenia and self-mutilation thrive without consequence, alongside the extremist belief that nature and truth are irrelevant. It’s as if a new breed of Samaritans has emerged, their sole purpose to challenge vulnerable youth with a daring proposition: “I dare you to do it.”

June unfolds like a butterfly in a teenager’s stomach, weaving through toxic ideologies in search of a sliver of sanity to restore. One wonders what has happened that convinced otherwise rational individuals to go along with this terrorist ideology.

This is a barren, purposeless display of human endeavour—a nihilistic cycle feeding on itself. Yet, we cannot defeat what we cannot replace. Rather than merely attacking ideologies and their ideologues, we need to present a superior alternative.

Living under the omnipresent shadow of the rainbow, it may seem we are perpetually trapped. But the task for conservatives is clear and known: dismantle the dominant doctrines of positivism, Marxism, structuralism, and Freudianism that pervade our culture, by simply replacing them with nothing less than a revival of good old Christianity.

Remember, the louder one shouts about their burdens, the less they’re likely to carry.
