Why Do Progressives Hate Kids?
By J. Robert Smith

It’s a tough question to ask: Why do progressives hate kids?  The question answers itself when you start stacking up the evidence.  Kids across the country -- in various ways and to varying degrees -- are suffering as a result.

The midterm elections are about a lot of big issues: inflation, housing costs, groceries, gas, crime, the border… but the progressives’ comprehensive assault on children ranks right up there.

It’s cliché, but America’s future is its kids.  Today, a perverse ethos guides progressives.  That ethos in practice is doing incalculable damage to young lives.  What progressives believe amounts to rationalized debauchery.

The culture needs to be reclaimed by the decent majority.  Faith in God -- increasingly unfashionable among progressives -- remains the powerful counter to the resulting cancerous nihilism of progressivism.  The spiritual is the raison d'etre for the traditional values and mores that are necessary for society’s survival and health. 

The evil derives, in large part, from Marxism, which, in one form or another, is the animating spirit of modern progressivism.  Marx’s acolytes realized decades ago that to overthrow America’s magnificent experiment in liberty, it wasn’t enough to undermine free enterprise, but destroy the culture, which is the country’s backbone… which, as a matter of fact, is any country’s backbone.

It's not that Progressives hate kids; it's that Progressives only love and only understand themselves.

They are endowed with a self-righteous infallibility and a revolutionary zeal that makes them dismissive, contemptuous, and appathetic towards others.

Their thinking is:

1.) The end justifies the means; by any means necessary.
2.) If you are not part of their solutions, you are the problem.
3.) You cannot compromise on matters of "justice".

There is no room for compromise and negotiation.  It's their all or your nothing.

Progressives can't be wrong because their cause is "just".  Progressives can't compromise because compromised "justice" is "injustice".  For Progressives, there is no wrong way to achieve "justice".

Kids are acceptable collateral damage in their struggles to achieve a greater "justice".

It's Marxism, with better marketing.

This.

They don't hate kids. There is something pervy and predatory in Leftists - you see it time and time again in the news.

If they don't want to kill them they want to bugger them. Or mutilate their genitals. Or sniff their hair. Or indoctrinate them and control their very thoughts.

It is indeed a sickness that is innate with that crowd.

They hate WHITE kids.

That is also why there is hyper focus on pets (pet parents).  When you get tired of a dog/cat simply lock them in a cage and go out with your friends... cannot do that with kids...
