"It's No Big Deal" - the modern leftist deception

 Human beings crave intellectual honesty.

You will find a trend in the liberal/left that defies intellectual honesty, and it runs like this: "here is a social revolution, actually it is No Big Deal."

Wait, how can you have a social revolution that is No Big Deal?

Here are some examples:

The 1960's heralded the sexual revolution. People could be affectionate outside the shackles of marriage. Freedom! This led to broken hearts, unwanted pregnancies, and an inability to nurture devoted and committed relationships, but that was not foreseen by the liberators. 

Then people claimed that, not to worry, sex is No Big Deal.

Roe v Wade declared abortion rights for women in the USA, actually if you read the wording, those rights depend on the personhood of the unborn, and technology now shows that personhood begins rather early, but, back in 1974, Roe v Wade won.

Then people who support "choice" declared, the unborn is not alive, it is No Big Deal. And the feminist who took the abortion pill on air in early 2022 to make that point, in defiance of even other feminists who hold that the decision to abort should at least be made gravely, underscored this aspect of the shaky intellectual ground of - let's have a revolution, actually it is No Big Deal.

The group that calls itself Women of the Wall say that they are fighting for prayer equality at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. They also say, in the very same breath, that the Western Wall has no sanctity.

So they are fighting for equality and at the same time saying that the area has no sanctity, so this is all No Big Deal.

I believe that those who are in homosexual relationships should of course have full civil rights and be allowed to adopt children. I also have found some inconsistencies in the argument that homosexuality is constitutional and inherent, but, fine, that has nothing to do with civil rights.

But if I challenge a liberal when they say, "Being gay is just fine because they are born that way," by retorting that perhaps sexuality can be influenced, they quickly get intellectually fuzzy and say, "well it really is No Big Deal."

Took me a while to identify the intellectual quagmire of the modern leftist liberal. From revolution to - ah this is No Big Deal. 

Which means they really did not seek revolution after all.
