The weird thing about his argument is that it's self-defeating. The reason we reference the 1220s or the 1880s as a different era is because times have changed since then.

The only people who think that people can be "turned gay" are the people who grew up lusting for people of the same sex in school and viewed that whole lustful experience as a "test of their faith." They do not see it as their sexuality making itself known... They feel it's a test of their faith.. If they can beat the urges, they'll go to heaven. Perfect example of this is Steven Crowder who has openly admitted to having his "battle" with bisexuality in college.... And now he's an adult 30 something guy who teabags his buddies and colleagues and shows them his dick and stuff.. You know, normal straight guy behavior for sure..??? Totally won that battle with bisexuality FOR SURE.... 100% won. VICTORIOUS! Guy is so straight, SO straight.. He's a guy who thinks that you can be turned gay.. Because in his experience, without the shame of christianity, he would be prancing around in gay pride parades happy as hell today... Instead he had to get into a loveless relationship with a woman who he then abused for years... Just going through the motions of a straight relationship because he was shamed out of accepting he's gay or bi... Miserable man turned bitter, blamed his wife for not being wifely enough.. I mean if she was wifely enough, maybe he'd be happy? (He wouldn't, dude is gay as fuck.) And he wants that shame for others.. Because he thinks he prevailed, and he wants other boys to prevail and vanquish the urges through doubling down on faith and shame... It's sickening that he doesn't just accept that he thirsts for men.. Instead he's just outing himself as bi/gay every time he talks about how people can be turned gay by the "gay agenda...." Straight people can't be turned gay... Shame-stricken gay people who pretend to be straight can be released from their shame by moving away from the people who shame them.. Such as going to college and finding people who won't tell them they're going to hell if they are attracted to the same sex. Kid comes home from college, tells his parents he's gay, parents lose their mind and blame college.... Kid comes home from high school, tells his parents he's gay, parents blame the school system... These types of christian parents are not straight... Because as I say a million times.. Straight kids don't turn gay... And straight people wouldn't assume that anyone can be "turned gay" because it makes no damn sense... Matt Walsh is literally home schooling his kids to keep them straight.... Matt Walsh is hella gay and extremely ashamed, particularly because he's also a pedophile. Only reason he has a wife is that she's the only way he'd get easy access to kids. Made them himself, then kept them from the world... We got ourselves another Josef Fritzl on our hands with that guy, and he's peddling morality as if he's got any. Ben Shapiro can't make his wife wet... Cause how the hell could he? Dude's limp as a noodle cause he's straddling a woman.. The last thing he wants in life is to be close to women. Anyways.. No one would think "turning gay" makes sense unless they're attracted to the same sex. It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE for a straight person to believe that straight dudes are running a gauntlet of cocks while horny as all hell. There's a higher chance of me being turned into a vampire by the catholic church than me turning gay.. Cause I'm straight.. Conservatives will never understand that they're outing themselves with this line of reasoning... I'm starting to think that there are FAR more gay conservatives than there are gay liberals. They're just "kept in check" by delusions and shame. No wonder there are so many loveless marriages on the right... And lets be honest, the conservative incel movement are incels because A: They can't have same sex relationships that they crave.. And B: 50% of them are lusting for minors. They're alone because their attraction is literally illegal. Nothing but self-outing on the right these days.

If I'm not involved in the action, I don't really care whom other people choose to love or associate with - well, so long as it's all consensual. Live and let live!

By modern standards, the 1700’s absolutely weren’t woke. By the standards of the 17th century that preceded it, it was a progressive century, but compared to the 20th and 21st century, still entirely religious and regressive besides the few small pockets of liberalism and humanism mostly in the urban centers.

Bro, shit was vicious back in the day. 1220? Get ready to be a serf working some noble’s land. Then get conscripted for war and be fodder, smashed by trained knights on armored warhorses. I’m sure dude imagines he’ll be one of the nobles.

A middle schooler could totally say “you know that offends me” but it’s only because they are meeting the world through their parents’ world view. Some kids at that age are rebelling against their parents, and some are are just sort of following rules and looking for adult approval.

Close can mean to shut a door or that two objects are in proximity. "The door is close to being closed" 😡 It's infuriating, and obviously nobody means "pride" as in a feeling of superiority. It's probably not a true homograph at this point, but it is a word with multiple implications.

A 12 year old girl hears a quote by Tennessee Williams and it goes right over her head. She's choosing to be offended by it and that just italicizes her ignorance. But she's 12. I say we overlook it. As well as all these other people who have an overblown sense of the value of their own thoughts and hope to force those thoughts on the rest of us. Go back to school and don't address me again until you've noticed enough of your own thoughts to be ashamed, because right now you just don't notice.

But they can't reconcile that belief with the reality of their own social and economic failures, so there must be a cultural scapegoat to blame who has corrupted their glorious capitalist society and weaponized it against them.

The bourgeois revolutions were indeed progressive! Landowners don't seem like a progressive class to us nowadays (because the only class that can achieve socialism is the proletariat) but they once were! and had they not come along, we might still be living in feudalism, a far more abject and unfree existence! The AmRev had a lot of problematic aspects, but every important historical movement has. The difference is that the bourgeois revolutions laid the historical groundwork for the potential for socialism. Socialism is about moving beyond capitalism, not regressing behind it and declaring any sort of system that is "anti-bourgeois" as good. That is antinomical thinking, not dialectical thinking.

That Tennessee Williams quote (from A Streetcar Named Desire, 1947) isn't about LGBTQ. It's about all humans. Another way to put the quote is "the heart wants what it wants". It doesn't matter what's most logical, beneficial, or easy because feelings and desires aren't dictated by those things.

You're right. The American Revolution was just a bunch of patricians/nobility fighting against a king, which is a type of revolt that took place every now and then in Europe since medieval times. Also, the ancient Roman Republic was founded by aristocrats ousting the king. In 1648 in France, the event called the Fronde was a failed parliament revolt against the king (historically speaking, parliaments were reserved for the aristocratic class), and the English Civil War in the 1600s was Parliament and Oliver Cromwell vs King Charles 1st, which the Cromwell won and established a republic and commonwealth, similar to how the patricians led by George Washington established the U.S. republic in the American "Revolution". The French Revolution and also the Russian communist revolution were both led by the commoners class (in France) and peasants (in Russia).

It did include some clauses about all free men being equal before the law, but a large portion of the population was serfs and not applicable for that at the time. Besides it was just a legal document for England, it had negligible impact on the rest of Europe, at least until well after the middle ages.
