There’s a few theories that I push over and over again when discussions on European social trends come up:
- Communism was a “deep freezer” that conserved antediluvian (“based” in our lingvo) social attitudes in Eastern Europe, at least relative to countries under the American sphere of influence.
- These attitudes express themselves particularly strongly on LGBT, immigration, and nationalism.
- Russia is an organic part of this East European space (so a corollary is that any long-term democratic successor to Putin will be a right-wing populist in the mold of Orban or Netanyahu).
- The deep freezer broke down with the fall of Communism, with the subsequent thaw bringing “conserved” nationalist sentiments (or Islamist ones) to the surface.
- Consequent integration into the Euro-Atlantic information space – if to variable degrees – has promoted progressive views (“GloboHomo” in our lingvo) in Eastern Europe.
- There is now a race between new conversions to GloboHomo and the rate at which it is vindicated or discredited in its American and West European “early adopters.”
The latest PEW poll on social attitudes in Europe provides some of the strongest evidence for points #1-#3
Clear west-east gradient on openness to marrying into Muslim families.
Note that Russia is basically equivalent to Poland, so that puts the kibosh on any Eurasianist fantasies about merging with Central Asia.
Curiously, there is relatively less openness amongst Russians in the 18-34 y/0 bracket to marrying Jews than the average for Eastern Europe, even though they are also more philo-Semitic than everyone there except Czechs, Estonians, and Latvians.
Support for gay marriage displays an even starker east-west gradient.
The big exception is East Germany and Czechia, which are explained by local cultural quirks (e.g. Prague had a reputation for being a gay friendly city even during the late Soviet period); as well as Greece in the Western sphere (which, however, is still more progressive than its Balkan neighbors).
Incidentally, the Ukraine used to be more homophobic than Russia even just 5 years ago (at least as proxied by support for gay marriage). Now it’s visibly more LGBT friendly, four years after the Maidan. Belorussians have always been more liberal on this question.
Eastern Europe, especially the f.USSR, is the only region where Christianity has actually made concrete gains (more people currently Christian than raised as Christian).
Western Europe has undergone a deChristianization that the League of Militant Atheists could only dream of.
Most of Eastern Europe professes at least as much religiosity now as the most stereotypically religious nations of Western Europe, such as Italy and Ireland.
Rather unsurprising that the Scandinavians give the highest priority to “respecting institutions/laws” as a condition of sharing a national identity. Notable that only 62% of Ukrainians and 54% of Belorussians consider “ability to speak the national language” as important. That’s relative to 86% in Russia.
In contrast, all East Europeans do put a very high premium on ancestry, while Sweden Yes is conspicuously at the very bottom.
Commenter Polish Perspective has also commented on these polls.
Yes, we can see that the Hajnal Line explanations do play a substantial role – e.g., Portugal, Italy, and especially Greece are rather conservative relative to Western Europe – but these effects are swamped by the effects of the Iron Curtain, as well as local effects (e.g. Poland vs. Czechia on religiosity, whose roots may stretch back to more than half a millennium). To which JayMan would rejoinder, “But where does Communism come from?” (Answer: From where the Red Army met the US Army in 1945).

In the long run, nothing but nothing destroys religiosity more than ‘liberal’s hard core American style winner-takes-all corporate capitalism.
Given enough time and pervasiveness, it’s guaranteed to kill religion, stone dead, forever, in the same way that Domestic® ‘kills germs dead’.
I can only hypothesis that the inherent nature of U.S. style Darwinian capitalism has an enormous demoralizing and deracinating effect on the ‘consumers’ forced into the leveraged capitalist accumulating rat race.
The implications of this are all rather profound. Despite all the bally-hoo about ‘Islamism’ I expect that US capitalism will, in the long run, ‘triumph’ in eliminating islam, due to the fact in winner-takes-all highly capitalized societies, which doubtless due consumer pressure will dominate in Islamic lands, the same extreme incitement of money, and the fact that US corporatism soon puts the unproductive ‘in their place’ will have the same effect, as it had elsewhere.

Excellent and interesting post.
It’s a 4% difference, 86% to 82% opposition to gay marriage Russia vs. Ukraine. So a trend but not a strong one.
I strongly suspect that in Russia, negative attitude toward homosexuality has become a tribal marker demonstrating opposition to the West, whereas in Ukraine it is pretty much just the traditional view. Thu attitudes become more negative in Russia and stay the same or drift slightly less negative in Ukraine.
Well, there is an “English-speaking Dublin” effect among many Ukrainian nationalists.
OT but Constantinople is saying the right things about religion in Ukraine:
https://risu.org.ua/en/index/all_news/orthodox/constantinople_patriarchy/73310/
Archbishop Job thinks the new Church will be called “Orthodox Church in Ukraine.”
Not the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, because the church is the only one … It belongs to Christ, and not to a nation or a state,” he says.
“In Greek, the names of the churches sound like: Orthodox Church in Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria. The Slavic names – Bulgarian, Serbian or Russian Orthodox Church – are used incorrectly and indicate ethnophyletism, that is, religious nationalism, explains Archbishop Job.
the Hajnal effect may be the same thing (media space) from a different pov – if the hajnal outbreeding process lead to a more universalist and less familial morality and if universalist morality leads to a tendency to look for a single commonly accepted moral authority then the triumph of globohomo among the hajnal populations would fit the post-war victory of the US media over Christianity in the battle for moral dominance.
(if correct the critical point here is that the commonly accepted morality among “hajnal” populations can change on a dime any time the media’s dominance is weakened)
(in general not sure that’s such a good thing but currently useful)

Thanks.
There’s probably something to that, but I’m not sure it’s the main reason. The collapse in pro-LGBT attitudes began in the late 2000s, after having drifted slowly up since 1991. That period included Medvedev’s “reset”, when relations were better than during the “New Cold War” period of the late 2000s. But that was also when the Russian state began making LGBT a culture war issue. Relations became extremely poisonous after 2014 ofc, but I think homophobia had already maxed out by then.
Yes, the claim that Turkish Army reserve officer Bart has the authority to revoke ROC’s autocephaly, and the implied threat that he’d (try to) do it if the standoff lasts long enough, was very “powerful.” 🙂

Russia is remarkably close to both Ukraine and Belarus on ethnocentrism when linked to citizenship. All three see a net fall in ethnocentrism among the young. For Russia’s youth it could be a demographic effect, but the case for that in Belarus or Ukraine is weaker. Belarus in particular is seeing a fairly big fall. All three countries are now “only” as ethnocentric as the best in Western Europe, such as Italy, though notably lower than in Portugal. Not a good sign.
Russia’s numbers on moslems is also somewhat disappointing. Poland has virtually no muslims of any significant size (mostly tatars and a very minor pockets of chechens), yet it is on par with Russia. More contact leads to more conflict, at least when faced with incompatible cultures/religions. You’d think that given all the grievances that Russians supposedly have with central asians, that there’d be a bigger pushback. Apparently not! Belarus, for reasons that escape me, is much more hardline on the moslem question. Anyone venture a guess? The meme is that they are supposed to be more ‘liberal’.
Czechia is the big puzzle to me. They are very hardline on Islam but take a fairly (comparatively) liberal view on citizenship. Slovakia is an even bigger shock. Their numbers are outright liberal – in an EE context – across the board. This is a country that has an actual far-right party in parliament (Kotleba). It’s hard for me to reconcile that, unless their far-right is superbly organised – and contained. Romania has excellent levels of ethnocentrism (close to Hungary-levels) and is quite hardcore on most other issues. It’s also among the most religious in EE. Over three times(!) as many Romanians say religion is ‘very important’ than for Russians. Very few Russians are actually religious in a meaningless sense. In fact, Russia is about as religious as many Northern European countries, and even less than some of them. Pretty hilarious. Muh Christian revival! (Sarcasm aside, I unironically approve of this).
The silver lining for Western Europeans is that despite a few outliers like Sweden, there are still substantial amounts of young people who have an ethnocentric view, at least when pushed on the issue. The numbers for the UK and Austria are impressive. I knew that Austria would do well, but I did not expect the Brits to do quite as well. The numbers for France look decent, too, especially the extreme idelogical programming that they are put through for decades now. Perhaps the swan song is not quite yet sung for these countries, but the clock is ticking.

These ‘Eurasianist fantasies’ involve strict borders and open trade, not some melting pot babelist madness. Eurasianists believe in making money and world peace, not miscegenation. (But still wrong, of course, because Islam and peace are incompatible.)
Not surprising once you realize that Soviet Communism was a right-wing ideology, by 20th century standards. The CPSU was to the right of the American Republican Party on practically every issue.
The Russian Civil War was a mess, and the only way the Bolsheviks could win was by adopting popular right-wing ideas. (Which was ultimately their downfall, mixing right-wing ideology and socialism is retarded and patently hypocritical. The ever-present feeling of hypocrisy was a leading reason why the USSR collapsed.)
How do these changes occur, how does a society like Australia or Canada switch from white racialism to multiracialism in the space of a few years, unless you want to subscribe to conspiracy theories like flouridization? And how does a society go from pro LGBT to anti LGBT memes, especially among the youth, without resorting to such things as grape or canister shotting gay pride parades or the Tiananmen square solution to color revolutions?

I think there are two processes involved: the Soviet freezer, as you accurately described and which links Russia with Ukraine and the rest of eastern Europe, and the tribal marker of “pro-gay = pro-West” which separates Russia from the rest of eastern Europe and makes it less supportive of gays than are the other eastern European countries.
In the early 1990s the West seems to have been more homophobic than was Russia; I remember Russian students at that time looking down on American homophobes and tolerating gays more (i.e., expressing tolerance for Tchaikovsky’s sexual orientation as a way of being better than Americans. and taking over a college towns’s gay disco for a few years, making the gays rather uncomfortable).
I suspect that if the West had stayed homophobic, Russia would have gone more fully pro-gay.
The second point is nonsense, sorry. Something like 35% of Russians thought gays should be liquidated in 1989.

This threshold isn't purely a separate process in each country - it is regional, or is influenced by networks of people interacting. There is a push by the centers of media - Hollywood, London, Paris, etc. Plus from personal relationships and travel, so, for instance, you get the Irish Left, going diversitarian even though they haven't as yet crossed the original US threshold of enrichment.
The key to understanding the Left in my view is that it has its own language, which evolves. The words are all interconnected through the grammar which involves signaling egalitarianism. The Anglosphere is so large, the English script so easy to communicate in compared to Chinese. The world so interconnected that the language of the Western Left has transformed into something truly monstrous, whereas historically it had enormous limitations, when much of it operated at the village level. Egalitarianism as a resource strategy simply was not evolved for a technologically advanced world.
Slovakia is an even bigger shock. Their numbers are outright liberal – in an EE context – across the board. This is a country that has an actual far-right party in parliament (Kotleba). It’s hard for me to reconcile that, unless their far-right is superbly organised – and contained.
Well, the ballot box doesn’t always match up well to public opinion polls. Slovaks may be willing to accept small numbers of outsiders as “Slovak”, but not mass migration flows.
The interesting thing to me about Slovakia is less that Kotleba’s party is in parliament (they’re outright pro-Nazi, at least to some degree, and are pretty disreputable, they won seats in 2016 largely as a protest vote). The more interesting thing is that ethnocentric / anti-migration views are integrated in the political mainstream, both in the form of the Social Democrats (Fico, who said “every Muslim in this country is under surveillance”, is on the Left) and in the form of the Slovak National Party, the two of them are currently in coalition.
It’s kind of amusing to me that the Slovak National Party was toxic (along with the communists) to all the ‘decent’ political dissidents in 1990, and was still toxic to the European social democrats back in the early 2000s, and today everyone accepts the Social Democrat / Nationalist coalition without a murmur, and is just happy that Kotleba’s party hasn’t done better.
The uk has a very strong class system and ethnocentrism peters out exponentially once you start to get above lower-middle class (or working class if talking about millenials), so these figures shouldn’t be taken at face value. Nearly all chavs are ethnocentric. The influence of these people on the political direction of the country will be negligible, or even negative. University “Ruggerbuggers” (English equivalent of the college jock) who end up in the military or finance are the only large group from the upper/upper-middle class largely exempt from this. I’ve spent the last half-decade mostly amongst foreigners in stem academia and it’s only very recently that I’ve spent any time at all amongst elite English millenials and was absolutely gobsmacked by the level of pc.

I can only hypothesis that the inherent nature of U.S. style Darwinian capitalism has an enormous demoralizing and deracinating effect on the 'consumers' forced into the leveraged capitalist accumulating rat race.
The implications of this are all rather profound. Despite all the bally-hoo about 'Islamism' I expect that US capitalism will, in the long run, 'triumph' in eliminating islam, due to the fact in winner-takes-all highly capitalized societies, which doubtless due consumer pressure will dominate in Islamic lands, the same extreme incitement of money, and the fact that US corporatism soon puts the unproductive 'in their place' will have the same effect, as it had elsewhere.

If these data are correct, Russia is not the equivalent of Poland. Historically, 10% of the population in Russia is Muslim ( there are no Muslims in Poland). Another 4-5 % of the population of Russia are “ethnic Muslims”, i.e. agnostics or atheists originating from the peoples historically professing Islam. Obviously these 15% (Muslims and ethnic Muslims together) should not (in their majority) have objections against Muslim relatives . But then 34-15=19%, i.e. Russians (and other non-Muslim peoples of Russia) are much more Islamophobic than Рoles.

Tatar — 69.8% marry Tatars, 20.6% Russian, 4.7% Bashkirs
Chuvash — 69.7% marry Chuvash, 23.6% Russian, 2.4% Tatar
Chuvash is a Turkic people (like Tatars), but professing Christianity. However, the Chuvash and the Tatars have the same degree of intermarriage with the Russians. That is, Islam has almost no influence on relations with the Tatars.

I haven't seen data for Russia in 1994. In 1999, 29% of Russians felt gays should be left alone, 16% felt they should be given help, 15% liquidated, 23% isolated. Attitudes got worse after 1999, so it's likely they were more positive in the mid nineties than in 1999.
Overall, Russia was less accepting of gays than was the USA in the mid 90s, but they were close enough that Russian students were more accepting of gays than was the general US population. Therefore the young elite Russians in the USA sneering at American homophobes were being a bit hypocritical.
If, for some reason, the West had gotten real homophobic after the 90s, do you think Russia would have become more accepting of gays? I suspect so.Replies: @songbird, @Philip Owen

Let me educate you: Russia on the eve of the revolutions (revolutions, not revolution) had dozens of competing leftist movements of varying degrees of batshit insanity. The Russian Civil War was a war to decide which particular batshit leftist strain inherits the ruins of the Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks won this war because they were willing to compromise and cut deals with the right-wing majority of the populace. This doesn’t mean they weren’t leftists themselves, but they at least understood that leftist ‘principles’ are a political dead end.
In that sense, the Bolsheviks were like Trump — it’s now impossible to put the genie back in the bottle and roll back the truly toxic things like gay indoctrination and feminism, but you can compromise with the deplorables on other things like nationalism and a Mexican wall, et al.

Anatoly – Russia’s destiny is closely tied to its huge expansionist movements towards the east. It’s almost hardwired into its genetic structure and a continuing feature of its blueprint for the future. Of course this idea of Russian ‘Eurasianism’ doesn’t include a scenario where a large portion of its Slavic population embraces the Moslem faith, but will continue to its own version of the white man’s burden (remember that?) via its Orthodox church. It’s a form of imperialism that offers Russia much more than a nationalistic version found in Hungary under Orban, that entails a retraction to its European borders. You might counter and offer a hybrid version of nationalistic/imperialism, but I think that it’s too late for any such nonsense in the 21st century. See how successful its been in neighboring Ukraine (Little Russia) that indeed shares a culture much closer to Russia’s than the Far East or even Siberia.
Generally speaking, there is no “Eurasionism” in Russia . This is some completely fictional political movement. It is discussed but it does not exist.
And what is a special culture in the far East and Siberia? Do you think this culture is different from culture in Moscow or St. Petersburg?
Here are Lenin’s direct quote w.r.t. the “sexual revolution”:

Hmmm. there is no such thing as Russian Eurasianism (both classical and Dugins styled ‘neo’) and the cultures one finds in Khabarovsk and St. Petersburg are identical (like walking from the front of a house to the porch in the back). I guess I’ll have to reevaluate my opinion…
In the past there was a group of historians-emigrants (Prince Trubetskoy, George Vernadsky, etc.) who believed that the contribution of the nomadic peoples of the great steppe in the creation of Russia is underestimated. They were” classical Eurasians”. The views of “classical Eurasians” have no connection with the issues of integration with Central Asia or the policy of attracting migrants.
Later there was a historian-visionary Lev Gumilev, who believed that the Russians are perfectly complementary to the nomads of the great steppes, but incompatible with Muslims, Western Christians, and especially Jews. As for migration, Gumilev considered migration as evil.
Still later came the local loony Dugin. This clown is known only in the West, and in Russia he is unknown.
The result-some dreamers exist (as exist for example ufologists), but any real movement of “Eurasianist” did not exist and does not exist. The ideas of “Eurasians” are completely unknown to 99% of the Russian population
Can you explain your idea that Ukraine is culturally closer to European Russia than Siberia? (“Ukraine (Little Russia) that indeed shares a culture much closer to Russia’s than the Far East or even Siberia“)
The second point is nonsense, sorry. Something like 35% of Russians thought gays should be liquidated in 1989.

About this high number in Russia – back in the early 90s homosexuality was often conflated with pedophilia; it was widely assumed that gays were also pedophiles, who recruited gays by sexually abusing male children. At the same time, gays were almost unknown and thought of as being extremely rare. This is why that number is so high.

I know people from Old Bolshevik families and that generation (their grand-parents or great-grandparents) were sexual libertines, including one of Krupskaya’s younger friends whose kids were born out of wedlock and who in old age bragged to her grandchildren about how she had many lovers and never had a husband whose socks she would have to wash. Stalinism reintroduced some conservative norms (as is practiced in North Korea) but Leninism did not. It was not the Western 60s or the Russian 90s to be sure, but by the standards of the early 20th century it was sexually very liberal.

I can remember reading Lenin and Trotsky’s opinions on this when I was in high school, and, even then, what struck me was how naive and disjointed they were, and how much of a joyless ghoul Lenin was. They unanimously agreed that traditional sexual morality should be abolished but divied the reasons why into “bourgeois” and “proletarian”. Basically, anything that might lead to people enjoying themselves was bourgeois, anything that contributed towards spreading comminism was proletarian.

Thanks, very interesting. Still, more than half weren’t, and most homosexuals are not molesting kids. But this research seems to show that there is a kernal of truth in that story.
The Tsar Nicholas I had a policy of Official Nationalism which was explicitly Eurasian. For a time he banned the study and speaking of other European languages and required Universities to teach “Chinese”. He even set up a school in Shanghai to teach Russians to speak Chinese. The policy failed. However, as with all such things, this triggered a movement “Eurasianism” that refused to die.
To provide evidence for the “freezer” theory, one would have to show a bigger gulf in social attitudes now between formerly socialist countries and western ones, than between non-western but never socialist countries and western ones.
Greece and Finland escaped the “freezer” and are more culturally liberal than former Communist countries today (although less so than the core western nations). I’d argue that neither of them is really ‘western’, for different reasons, or at least that neither of them was ‘western’ prior to 1917.
Anyway, Eastern Germany today is very different than Western Germany (less enthusiastic about democracy, more inclined to left wing economics, more opposed to ethnic and cultural diversity), which suggests the freezer had an effect (although no, I don’t think eastern and western Germans were identical prior to 1945 either).
Isn’t that pretty much true?
Basically, there is a much smaller representation of Asian and indigenous peoples of Uraic, Altaic, Permic and Samoyedic origin in Ukraine, thus making it closer to the populace of European Russia. Besides its own indigenous peoples in the Far East, you also have the addition of ethnic Chinese, Korean and Japanese too. I understand that Russian is the lingua-francua of these immense swaths of land, and that ethnic Russians and Ukrainians make up the majority of the populace there, but can you really totally discount the various flavors that this large Asian admixture brings to the local culture?

Well blacks are not well liked here, and not even bull Connor would claim that half of blacks are rapists and murderers. I mean not even David Duke would say that.
Since you’ve made the connection, it’s amazing how many blacks in Africa have HIV, or are said to have it. I wonder how this rate would compare to the general pop of gays around San Fran in the ’80s.
From what I can find, current estimates in the US put practicing gays at about 15% overall, with some metro areas in the South being around 30%. Jackson, Mississippi is 40% for practicing gays.
Of course, it is hard to compare these numbers to Africa. Since the African numbers are generalist, and include children. But Lesotho is said to have about a quarter of its population infected. I guess the specific cohort numbers would be higher.
And that’s pretty amazing when you consider everything involved, modes of transmission, etc. – Africans must do a lot of whoring. I’m not buying the idea that they all contracted it through vaccines.
But both infection rates really lead one to question the homomania and negrophilia so prevalent to globalism.
One could probably use data to create a yearly connectome of globalism’s spread, which would predict attitudes in each country, whether pozzed or not, and, if pozzed, who is on top of the totem – gays or trannies.
What would the data be? Trade. Media consumption from each center, interracial images in advertisements, connecting flights, college course listings, levels of international students, racial demographics. Jewish population. Average age. Level of wealth transfer, both domestic and foreign aid.
You really think that all (or even most, or even a significant percentage) of gays are pedophiles?
Paedophilia = sexual pervert interested in pre-pubescent children of either sex, say 10 year olds.
The Church’s John Jay Report shows more than 80% of cases were priest on pubescent males...
I suspect gays occasionally branch out, a case of the slippery slope, and will accost pre-pubescent children.
Its ravings of a madman. Or is that such a weird joke?
People here do not like black people or Arabs and I am sure that the percentage of them who are rapists and killers is much lower than the percentage of gay pedos.

But you miss the grander point. The Bolsheviks won the Civil War because they were right-of-center populists, like Trump or Bolsonaro. (Like Trump and Bolsonaro, this was a calculated, hypocritical ploy on their part.)
Lenin himself had some sort of centrist self-image. It's strange to read his constant diatribes about 'leftism' and 'leftists'.Replies: @Znzn
You mean Bolsonaro is a neoliberal Hominterm Manchurian Candidate? Dunno much about Brazillian politics.

In our universe in Russia there are no Chinese and Japanese migrants, towns on the border with China and Japan are 100% "white". Few Chinese and Japanese expats prefer to live in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The majority of Russian Koreans also live in European Russia. The only exception is Sakhalin, where Koreans make up 5% of the population.Replies: @Anonymous, @Znzn, @Mr. Hack
I’ve never been to the Russian Far East or to Siberia, so I’ll defer to your opinion as being more current than my own. I did, however, read the well reviewed ‘The Russian Far East: A History’ by Harvard historian John Stephan about a year ago that painted a land much more cosmopolitan than the one you’re representing:

This statement was partly true in the early 20th century. Since then, the Japanese and Chinese communities in the far East have disappeared, and the Ukrainian, Estonian, Finnish, German communities complete assimilated. Now most regions in the far East (and Siberia) are mono-ethnic Russian.

Probably the main reason is low income. Here is a map of the official median per capita salary. By purchasing power (not by nominal exchange rate!) approximately: blue color over $ 2000, green $ 2000-1000, yellow and red-less than $1000
If China was bordered by the “blue” regions, it is likely that the Chinese would move to these regions. But the yellow and green regions do not attract Chinese. In addition (IMHO) the absence of Chinese communities in Russia prevents the resettlement of Chinese in Russia. The Chinese probably prefer to move to where there is already a Chinese community.
Maybe this girl is just Jew. However looks can be deceiving.

71% of non-Orthodox Jews now marry outside of the tribe, at least in the US, and by the looks of it something similar is going on in Russia too (has been for a long time). The rise of the Messianic Jewish movement is further evidence that traditional Jewish culture is undergoing immense changes.

Don’t know about those kids but light hair is quite common among Ashkenazi Jewish children.
These are religious Jews from New York:

Children are often much lighter haired than adults, so it is a little misleading, although they certainly do look like they’d be paler than ordinary Jews. I often see Haredi families (like the one posted above) with light-haired children but ordinary Jewish looking parents. I believe that there is also a ginger strain among Russian Jews (of separate origin than Northern European red hair).
I think you’d be shocked at the number who take an interest in young boys. I don’t mean children, but early teens. And I think you’d be even more shocked at the number who would take such an interest if they could get away with it.

In the photos from the famous choral synagogue in Peter, it’s obviously families which was secular but rediscovers their Jewish heritage. so many are mixed with Russian blood.

In my experience Austrians are shaped by their experience as being a border people to the Slavic and Balkan worlds, add in the Austro-Hungarian experience and avoidance of denazification, and the hard right attitudes I have found in Austrians are easily explained.

In Spain, parts of the Church were co-opted by leftist-liberal “priests” intent on weakening (or unable to uphold for personal lifestyle reasons) the moral teachings, and do not discount the existence of active Freemasons in the government. Zapatero is the most well-known, but whispers abound about Rajoy doing an about-face on specific issues after a 2010 trip to Mexico, where he was supposedly pressured. Cultural revolutions, as well as actual ones, are made by elites.
I think, on this issue, it is wise to heed received wisdom. There’s something about the homosexual subculture that tends to novelty and extremes.. in practices (like the very modern death-wish in looking for unprotcted sex with HIV positives) and in subjects: young men, then teens, then children.
Of course, not all gays “progress” to pedophilia.
Pederasty, or ephebophilia = gay adult interested in young pubescent males. Teens. Used to be politely referred to as corruption of minors.
Paedophilia = sexual pervert interested in pre-pubescent children of either sex, say 10 year olds.
The Church’s John Jay Report shows more than 80% of cases were priest on pubescent males…
I suspect gays occasionally branch out, a case of the slippery slope, and will accost pre-pubescent children.

Helping the spread of Islam will just destroy liberalism and tolerance!
So how on earth can accepting a Muslim into your family be liberal?
That just means someone from your family converted to be able to marry a Muslim.
Very stupid to support that, unless of course you like Sharia but that just means you are NOT really liberal at all.
