Something unprecedented happened in America in the years between 1991 and 1998.
Christian religious affiliation fell from around 90 percent to 75 percent among young adults of ages 18-35.
As frequent readers know, something noteworthy happened around the same time.
If you take the average of people who were 18-35 in 1998, you get 26. That is core Generation X. Those same Gen Xers would have started college in 1991.
After the Ball, a gay propaganda book by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen published in 1989, was all the rage in academia back then.
That book’s influence can’t be overstated. It helped whitewash public perception of sodomy from sketchy shenanigans indulged at massage parlors and rest stops to a self-validating lifestyle led by ordinary people.
The flood of degenerate content channeled through the media following the book’s publication was no accident.
Conservatives should glean two main takeaways from the foregoing:
- Sodomy is incompatible with Christianity. Despite various wolves in sheep’s clothing preaching otherwise. The numbers show that poz and apostasy are self-reinforcing feedback loops. The establishment GOP’s fondness for Death Cult sacred cows should be a blaring wake-up call.
- Sending Xers and every later generation to college was a total disaster. Boomers may have thought it would get their kids low-work/high pay jobs, but for the most part it reverted them to heathenry and buried them under unserviceable debt.
The Pop Cult’s conquest of all media and academia on the Boomers’ watch decimated American Christianity. The result is the Clown World we find ourselves imprisoned in.
You can tell the Cult planned it this way by how shook they are at Elon Musk taking over Twitter.
If they cared about their kids’ futures – first and foremost, their eternity – Conservatives would have spent the past 30 years and their historic wealth buying every media outlet, Big Tech firm, and private college.
Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter was a promising start. But his free speech record has proven spotty.
Still, the Global American Empire’s sustained and multiplying humiliations on the world stage are encouraging. If we can wait them out, our deranged rulers may run out of the money and clout needed to maintain their international mission to spread the Death Cult.
Of course, when the GAE’s enforcers come running home with their tails between their legs, their first act will be to take out their defeat on their subjects.
That means you and me.
But falling for the Satanic cult propaganda that seduced America into turning its back on Christ got us in this mess. If reaping the consequences of our apostasy drives us back into the arms of the Church through suffering, so be it.
Much better to skip the suffering and go straight to embracing Jesus Christ, though.
Word to the wise.

The wild part today is how broken people will outright brag and tell you just how much they are broken, which makes nailing things down much easier. He is outright telling you here that a shift happened and that shift destroyed people’s sense of quality judgement and perception. And that is a good thing!
Millennials stay aesthetically bankrupt.
This is one of the things that irritates me about my fellow Millennials (and why a lot of older folks think that I was born in the wrong generation). I genuinely enjoy a lot of older movies, books, games, etc, and people my age look at me like I’m smoking something whenever I criticize a Currently Popular Consoomable Product. It’s not that I hated it or would leave the room if you put it on, but rather the fact that I found something ‘off’ about it.
Just remember: Generations are a spectrum, not a demarcated line.
One of the dividing lines between Gen Y and millennials is that Gen Y grew up being exposed to older works and the millennials didn’t. These are generalizations of course; there are millennials who dig into stuff like the pulps or who grew up watching classic sci fi movies, and similarly there are members of Gen Y who never watched anything but the newest shows on TV and stopped playing video games after they were a year or two old.
In general it wouldn’t be unusual for a member of Gen Y to be watching stuff like the original Star Trek series, Planet of the Apes, Dr. No, Alien, etc. In fact that’s exactly the type of thing that we often came back from the video store with. The most triumphant example of this is when the special edition movies for Star Wars came out in theaters, basically the entire generation had seen the originals several times despite the entire second half of the generation being born after any of the original trilogy came out.
In contrasts for many millennials even the early 90’s is “too old.”
I don’t think that this is the fault of the millennials. I think there was an intentional plot to stop kids from watching old things that took place around cultural ground zero. (One key sign of this is the fact that The Matrix had very little impact on Millennials and practical none on Zoomers, despite being released in 1999.)
And to be fair, it’s not like Gen Y is doing itself any favors. I know plenty of people who saw all sorts of classic cinema in their childhoods, but NOW only watch the popular consoomable product of the week, despite being equipped with everything they should need to know better.
I can only attest to myself as an example, but the most people around here in my cohort did was watch things like Ghostbusters 2016 passively because it was the Brand, then never thought of it ever again. I’m seeing more and more people who simply don’t bother engaging at all anymore.
To paraphrase a saying from Mr. Plinkett: their brains know something is off, even if they don’t.
Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of the incoming partitioning off of culture is that it is going to lead to a not insignificant number (almost certainly lead by Gen Y) into never engaging with anything new, regardless of what it is. If you want to create any kind of art, it’s going to be even rougher than it is at this moment in time.
Admittedly, I’m almost there. It only takes one hand to count the new pop culture products I’ve consumed in the past 12 months. My workload does account for some of that omission, though.
I’m ambivalent only on one point regarding those stats. That is, that many of the Boomers/Silents who have been standing in church for decades are not exactly Christian. Inside Catholicism that lack of conversion expresses itself either as the eternal hippie or the Traditionalist Rage(TM) where everything was perfect in 1950. Inside Protestantism, it’s the sparkle creed and black women lesbian “priests” or the worship of Americanism and Israel. (For all the problems on the arc of salvation, they are certainly a magnitude order easier.)
Anyway, my thought is that honesty might generally be the better path. We at least know where we stand.
Hear, hear.
The demise of “cultural Christianity” does have the benefits of clarity and of forging committed disciples. The downside is that it makes the path harder for weaker brethren to walk and to draw the unconverted and half-converted in bit by bit.
