If I was a major stakeholder in such powerful industries as media, finance, and government, I would first try to make this fact oblivious to the mass consciousness, even though it's staring them right in the eyes. Second, I would claim racism or some other disparaging term at whoever spoke out about this, in order to harm their quality of life and to deter others from speaking about it. That's totalitarian control hiding in plain sight, but it's unspeakable.

On LGBTQ
I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as rights. It's merely a mass delusion, like religion or money or statehood.
But even accepting the concept for functional purposes, rights conflict with each other.
My right to influence the world the way I want conflicts with the rights of others who do not want that world, and vice versa.
Or more specifically, positive liberties (freedom to) conflict with negative liberties (freedom from).
LGBTQ advocates claim they merely want equal rights, but that's not exactly true. What they want is to influence the world in a way that heteronormative people do not want. These two sets of "rights" conflict and are essentially irreconcilable.
I don't like womanface (drag). They are grotesque sex clowns mocking a caricature of women. It's as offensive as blackface. I especially oppose children being exposed to it.
I don't like LGBTQ books marketed to children and young adults in schools and libraries; or LGBTQ groups for children in schools and libraries; or LGBTQ in movies and other media, especially those marketed to kids. This is indoctrination into a sexual ideology. It's at least as bad as religion.
I don't like LGBTQ flags in schools and government and businesses. I don't like inclusion training in government and businesses. It's promoting a sexual identity as if it were a religion.
I don't like censorship and cancellation for disagreeing with the movement. I believe in freedom of expression with few, if any, restrictions.
I don't like LGBTQ parties on the White House lawn while their flag hangs from the rotunda. It violates the First Amendment prohibiting endorsement of religion.
I don't like Pride Month all damn summer and other days and weeks of this and that all year long. It's annoying and an intrusive projection onto mass consciousness.
I don't like gender ideology. It's pseudoscience.
I don't like men in women's sports, restrooms, prisons, locker rooms, changing rooms, shelters, and other single sex spaces. It's misogynistic.
I don't like men insisting that I pretend they are a woman. It's a blatant lie.
I don't like men trying to deceive me that they are a woman. I hate liars. I believe it is a form of sexual assault for anyone to deceive another into having sex with them under false pretenses. So-called transwomen seek sex under the false pretense that they are women. They are not women; they are men who seem to be suffering some sort of delusion or other mental illness.
I don't like sterilizing and mutilating children and making them addicted to powerful synthetic hormones. They're no better than Nazi scientists.
I don't want to see two men kissing or holding hands. I'm allowed to find that disgusting.
I don't like feminine men or masculine women. It taunts cultural norms based upon biology.
I don't like gay camp personality or gay speech patterns. It's as annoying as Bobcat Goldthwait or Gilbert Gottfried.
I don't like their cult. I don't like their culture. Their vibe is disturbing. And I especially don't like them trying to change society to match their norms. I prefer heteronormativity; I do not want queernormativity.
If I don't particularly like something or someone, but they mostly keep to themselves, then it doesn't take much for me to tolerate them.
But the LGBTQ movement wasn't satisfied with keeping to themselves. They weren't satisfied with tolerance. They demanded acceptance. Then they demanded inclusion. Then they demanded to rewrite the rules of society to align with their values and goals. They will never be satisfied until the whole world is queer. It is like the insidious progressivism of settler-colonialism, but rather ideological and via institutional capture.
This I cannot abide. They have turned an ally into an adversary. They are their own worst enemy.

Rigged Game
I've been trying to do a few small things to improve my quality of life. I replaced the car's windshield wipers and put some elbow grease into removing the stickers.
I took it to a car wash, which did not remove the smeared sticker glue, and as an added bonus it also ripped my windshield wipers clear off. Not the blades. The whole damn thing.
This is why it seems pointless to even try. It's almost as if everything is rigged against me. Two steps forward, three steps back, for the past ten years.

Future Myths
It's the year 4024. In the past 2,000 years, civilizations have crashed, rebounded, and crashed again multiple times.
As yet another civilization declines and crumbles, a cult has sprouted that worships a "Super Man" from another world who performs miracles in order to save the people of Earth. He suffers like they suffer. He dies like they feel their society dying. Their Super Man is resurrected, just as they also hope to do.
This cult in 4024 is politically strong, but some people resent how the cult abused their power. So they attack the cult at the base of their faith, denying the very existence of a Super Man who incarnated as Clark Kent.
The cult is furious that they should dare be questioned. They insist Clark Kent was a real person who really spoke truth to power as a news reporter.
Of course there were Clarks who lived around the time this supposed Super Man lived. There were even several Kents. But the Clark Kent that the cult speaks of didn't enter the historical record until much after the time he supposedly worked for the Daily Planet. And those references were sparse at best, and merely speaking from the point of view of something called a comic book club.

On Palestine
Full disclosure: I am ethnically 1/4 Jewish on my mother's side and a staunch atheist.
These are the reasons why I condemn Zionism and the state of Israel.
1. Colonialism is immoral.
2. Ethnic cleansing is immoral.
3. Apartheid is immoral.
4. War crimes are immoral.
5. The reason why they are immoral is because of the Golden Rule or any other kindergarten-level moral principle.
6. Zionism is settler-colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and war crimes.
7. Other states are guilty of the same; see the colonialism and genocides of the Americas, Africa, Oceania, and parts of Asia; also Northern Ireland.
8. No state has a right to exist.
9. Therefore Israel also does not have a right to exist.
10. Modern Zionism began with Theodor Herzl in the late 19th century in partnership with antisemites. It began before the Holocaust.
11. Being the victim of a genocide does not give you the right to commit a genocide against another people.
12. The religion of Judaism is inherently narcissistic and racist, claiming in the book they wrote that they are God's chosen people.
13. The religion of Judaism justifies Zionism in the belief that God gave them the promised land. See especially the Book of Joshua.
14. I differentiate between Judaism the religion, Zionism the political-spiritual movement, and Semite the ethnicity.
15. No idea is too sacred to be criticized or ridiculed.
Antizionism is not antisemitism
Those criticisms are about geopolitics, not an ethnicity. Further, many Jews are antizionist and many non-Jews are zionist for religious or political reasons.

Zionism is settler colonialism
It's clear that criticizing an ideology or political movement or the establishment or conduct of a state is not racial discrimination. That is a false claim and counter-charge intended to silence critics of Israel.
So what are the criticisms? First of all, I contend that Israel is a settler-colonial project and is therefore illegitimate.

Zionism is guilty of other crimes
There are many other issues, such as the illegal settlements in and occupation of the West Bank, blockade of Gaza, indiscriminate targeting of civilians and disproportionate retaliation, killing of journalists, assassinations by the Mossad, and war crimes by the IDF.
But, while heinous, these are irrelevant to the root cause: Israel does not have a right to exist. It is a settler-colonial project. The only just resolution is to dissolve the state of Israel and establish a single, democratic, secular state from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, the Palestinians must be given the right to return, responsible Israeli leaders and western backers held accountable, and reparations made for the Palestinian people.
Therefore, I am not a proponent of a ceasefire. The oppressor always seeks peace as a means to pacify resistance. I advocate resistance using a variety of tactics to achieve the liberation of the Palestinian people and the abolition of the state of Israel.

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement is one such tactic that worked against apartheid South Africa.

Censorship against criticism

Conclusion
I want to be clear that while I support Palestinians struggling to defend their homeland against Zionist invasion, occupation, and oppression, as an atheist I do not support Islam. In this regard, it might be more accurate to say I am antitheist, especially toward the Abrahamic faiths.
Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion Q&A
I am opposed to Judaism as a religion, Zionism as a settler-colonial political movement, and Israel as an illegitimate state. Some have made claims that Jews control the entertainment industry and other media, the banks, and other influential industries. If that is true and not just inciting unsubstantiated racial hatred, I would also be opposed to that sort of collusion, just as I would be opposed to any other cartel or organized crime.

Confession
I don't really like people. They're too untrustworthy; too capable of so much harm.
On the streets, if I pass someone walking their dog, I'll pay a lot more attention to the dog than to the so-called owner. I trust the dog. I don't trust people.
Abyss
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you. - Mark Twain
I trust the abyss far more than I trust either the eternal light or the rainbow.
