#1 CS Lewis disliker opinion: Here he assumes that “standards of propriety” are always morally neutral and purely aesthetic. Of course, we know these standards are often used to enforce authoritarianism, conformity, or other forms of fascism.
Let's move on with the rest of the passage.
Lewis recognizes that modesty raises thorny issues, but he sweeps them aside to focus on the more important spirit. I want to bring your attention to the last sentence here:

the funny thing is we put exactly 1 streetcar line back and it’s been an instant sensation with two expansions and continuing record-high ridership that has made all adjacent property into prime real estate, so consumer demand has spoken quite clearly as far as I’m concerned!
kansas city had the most street car lines in the nation and then the car boom resulted in those lines being piecemeal taken down by:
1) the push by major autos to expand streets for consumer cars
2) oil companies literally buying the lines and winding them down
details are elided but this is ~true

Marxism and critical race theory actually should be taught in public school
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Also Catechetical Discourse 5.10: “what is similar to the divine in all things must by all means have self-mastery and independence by nature”
Lately thinking a lot about Gregory of Nyssa’s sermon on slavery ~380 CE and man, this might be only type of theological anthropology sufficient to overcome the dehumanization of colonialism+patriarchy+capitalism the U.S. is based on.

Truly I say to you that the only thing that will pop their bubble is three days of blindness from encountering the risen Lord on the road to Damascus.

May come as a surprise to some but no political party has ever tried to take away my balls or my inherent quality of being a man, which would be difficult and impossible respectively.
![Instagram caption from NPR of their interview with John Fetterman
In his new book, "Unfettered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized his party for losing the support of working class men, writing that President Trump appealed to them more because "he wasn't afraid to comment on things the left told us we were no longer allowed to have commonsense opinions on."
Fetterman also writes, “if men are forced to choose between picking their party or keeping their balls, most men are going to choose their balls.”
“I think there's been a disconnection,” he told "All Things Considered" host Scott Detrow. “It's just this idea and just being perceived as more anti-man […] And it's just a lot different kinds of energy that comes out from.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5fkaj7zmtrdz6o4az3vvlxbf/bafkreiadfrhld7ftk53pgpl2aaafm74uz2qivzeudf3nkmykvcx643fl7i@jpeg)

The same dynamics whereby a purity-ring-preaching pastor gets caught cheating on his wife and/or abusing kids with near-mechanical regularity. Bad fruit doesn’t grow on a good tree!
Concerning the right: can you imagine anyone connected to Trump 2 claiming to care about sexual normalcy now? The regime is so pedophilic there's a conspiracy theory that the government is being shut down to keep the Epstein Files buried. It's swingers, adulterers, and couchfuckers all the way down

This week I ran into an older, non-denominational Christian couple from the suburbs of Chicago who loved reading Josh McDowell.
They said “we’re not fans of this admin to put it lightly, it doesn’t look anything like what Jesus teaches.”
