hi.

i've been at your bar a few times over the last few months, and i seem to be a magnet for security, who has repeatedly ask that i leave and which tossed me out a little bit roughly this morning. i'm getting the point. but, i'm just trying to better understand what the concern is, and am seeking an honest response.

sure: i'll acknowledge that when i go to your bar, my intent is to consume alcohol and dance. see, i kind of thought that was the point of having a bar that serves alcohol and plays dance music. maybe i'm missing something?

i've never been into a physical altercation, nor am i the kind of person that would get in one. i don't bring weapons or drugs. i keep to my own space when i'm dancing, and don't interfere with the space of others. the fact is that the only answer i've ever been given as to why security is basically harassing me is that i'm actually having a good time. i've literally been pulled of the dance floor and asked to leave, and when i ask why they seriously tell me that i have to leave because i'm dancing under the influence. and, yeah - of course i am.

i'm just seeking an honest reaction, because i'm feeling like there is an underlying reason why i'm being targeted, and it's beginning to make me feel unwelcome in your bar. perhaps i've misunderstood. but, i don't want to go where i'm not welcome.

my position is this: if you find somebody's gender expression upsetting, then you're better off hanging out in a church than at an all-night dance party. i was at the right place. it is you, yourself that was at the wrong bar. given your worldview, maybe you shouldn't have been at a bar at all. and, the staff made the wrong decision.

it's not likely that i'll go back there.

all i can do is point out the absurdity of the situation and avoid putting myself in situations where i have to deal with them.

the biggest threat to liberalism today is not conservativism. conservatism has been largely discredited. the biggest threats to liberalism come from these people that call themselves progressives, as they're trojan horses for the church - friendly fascists that want to enforce the same worldview that conservatives do, but prefer to use more collectivist methods.

that is the difference between a conservative and a progressive: conservatives are pragmatists that want to enforce religion with a gun, whereas progressives are idealists that want us to come to religion together and live it out via free will.

liberals that want to overthrow the religious order altogether need to step away and see them as two sides of the same coin.

this is what is happening: "progressives" and conservatives are merging into a bipartisan consensus that wants to push down a kind of deist religious order that strips out the specifics and upholds the general rules. and, if you reject the rules, they call you a racist. the result is that the society is renormalizing the messianic order under the cover of an acceptance of islam. we're to have these judaic value systems pushed down on us, one way or another. and, they've spun you around and got you standing up for christian values at  all-night industrial dance parties and other spaces that should be safe from the influence of the authorities.

so, my argument in favour of rejecting and resisting so-called religious allies on the left is that, if allowed to occur unchecked, the renormalization of religion is going to undermine liberal value systems and lead to a more conservative society, where things like gender roles end up strictly enforced, as the christian society that we successfully destroyed once did in the past.

you don't see the irony, do you?
