How to destroy a society


  • A group with a socially unacceptable lust/desire/passion is identified (or identifies itself).
  • Their lust/desire/passion is renamed with a term that has a positive spin and lacks the connotations/baggage the old name had.
  • Any known harm caused by the lust is minimized/papered over or spun as a reason for pity, and anything that can be construed as a positive attribute of the lust is magnified.
  • The group dominated by the lust is defined in terms of the lust, and it is deemed an essential part of their character.
  • The lust group is identified as a minority group and so subject to protection.
  • Any social resistance to the lust is defined as oppression, so the minority group is now considered to be oppressed.
  • Any opposition to the lust or efforts to remind people of the known harms of the lust is deemed to be hate speech or lust-phobia and thereby suppressed.
  • People who oppose the lust are labeled as prudes, bigots and/or oppressors.
  • Advocates of the lust self-identify with previous successful and popular liberation groups so as to legitimize their own efforts.
  • People in academia publish papers that declare that the lust is actually healthy and a normal part of human society and therefore to be supported and encouraged.
  • Exercise of the lust is defined as a human right, and thereby subject to human rights protection.
  • Government support is given to the exercise of the lust, in the form of tax benefits, special protections and other endorsements.  Existing programs are specifically amended to include support for the lust.
  • Tolerance education is formalized to instruct people (including young children) on how to support and advocate for those possessed by the lust.
  • People who still refuse to endorse the lust are subjected to mandatory tolerance education and threatened with loss of employment, deplatformed, or otherwise ostracized.
  • Businesses that do not endorse the lust are sued, boycotted, threatened with loss of certification or tax exampt status (if relevant), and slandered on social media.
  • Schools adopt tolerance education as part of their curriculum and train up children in tolerance of the lust.

Repeat until done …
