Guest Post by Todd Hayen
When I say “we” in the title of this article, I don’t mean us shrews. I think most of us do care about these things I am going to write about. The “we” I speak of is the culture at large. Even though shrews may think and wonder about these things, we probably just scratch our heads about them.
In most cases, no one has taken surveys or written articles about such things. Some have, of course, but those forays into the effort to answer these questions are isolated to obscure research that most people never see.
Let me start with a silly one, but important nonetheless. Well, at least important to those of us who think this sort of thing is important! What percentage of men pee sitting on the toilet rather than standing up? And how has this number changed over the past three or four decades? Now, forgive me if you find this offensive, or irrelevant, I only bring it up here because, believe it or not, I read about this in some serious article I was perusing a few months back. I can’t remember details about the article, but I do remember this particular observation.
Why is this important? Well, maybe it isn’t, but it might be an indicator of things. An indicator that most people simply do not think is meaningful or anything purposeful. Now, I am not implying that men who pee sitting down have lost their masculinity, but I do believe the culture, or the agenda if you prefer, is behind a campaign focused on emasculation.
Men, who are largely unconscious these days (as most people in general are) will just slide into this campaign without giving it much thought. Their psychology will go along with that slide, and soon to follow are behavioural differences. Is sitting to pee part of that emasculating behaviour? The article I read seemed to think it was. I wonder what most of you think.
What about something a bit more serious? How about the sharp decline in free play among children? This phenomenon has indeed been written about and investigated, but most people just pawn it off as a “sign of the times.” Maybe it is, but the consequences are pretty daunting. Those of you out there with kids know just what I am talking about.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have read in comments, and in articles, how back in our day (us old folks) we played. And we certainly played freely. No one told us what to do from sun up to sun down when we would go out with our peer tribe and roam the neighbourhood. What a life that was. The stuff of our adventures my friends and I would just make up would rival any fantasy novel. It was nuts—and spectacular. Today? I doubt if much creativity and imagination goes on in most kid’s minds these days.
I also recently read an article about “screen time addiction.” I was rather blown away. The article told the story of some kid who was having horrible trouble in school. He was destructive, a recluse, unsocial, failing all his studies, and had no interest in just about anything kids his age have an interest in. A total zero. Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t think all kids who do not follow the line the majority of kids are following are messed up, but this case sounded a bit dicey. Sure enough, he spent nearly every waking moment staring at a screen.
The parents took him to some psychological specialist in “screen time issues” (I didn’t know such a thing existed) and almost immediately he started to improve. After a while, he was the epitome of the “perfect kid” (well, that sort of bothered me . . .) I have searched again for this article and can’t find it (odd, maybe it was a dream!) So, I am sorry I don’t have a link to share with you. If anyone runs across it, let me know.
There are many articles about the dangers of “screen time” and just as many pooh-poohing the dangers (usually from the big institutions). Funny how often you see that combo—a “limited hangout” sort of thing— “We’ll admit there is a concern, but it isn’t as bad as you think it is.” We see this sort of presentation everywhere, about nearly everything we are wondering about. “Yes, you are right there are some apprehensions, but experts say the concern is minimal.”
Yeah, right.
I have several teachers who come in for therapy, and what I hear that is going on in the schools is really frightening. Of course, I am not saying what I hear is representative of every school district everywhere in the world, but I think it does illustrate a general trend in the more “woke” areas of Western nations. Of course, we all know about the “trans story hour.” Again, I have no way of knowing how prevalent this is. But that is also one of the dangers regarding these things “we (sheep) don’t care about.”
It is very easy to dismiss this stuff with a comment like, “Well, that isn’t happening here.” Other school issues are just too numerous to mention. Certainly, those of you with kids know what they are. Us old folks and childless shrews may not know much about them. But it is very serious, very serious indeed.
The big things you and I know, and care, about—impending CBDCs, Social Credit scoring, 15-minute cities, UBIs, and Digital IDs. There are a slew of other similar horrors heading down the pike such as restrictions in international travel (ultimately all travel), upcoming pandemics, mandatory vaccinations, masking and social restrictions. These we know, but the sheep don’t, and if they do, they don’t care.
We are now inundated with the many thousands of seemingly insignificant things the general population does not care about, and even shrews may not think much about. These include the decimation of music, arts, literature, and cinema, being forced into a “rent/streaming only” mode of conveyance, as well as the destruction of the arts through AI.
The issues regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, are eating away at our individuality and creativity—indeed DEI is eating away at the very things it is touted as protecting. The attack of the family, sexuality, masculinity, and femininity is relentless. Chemtrails, fluoride, vaccines, the overuse of antibiotics, dangerous ubiquitous visits to the doctor, pointless pharmaceuticals, fast food, alcohol, rampant pornography, illicit drugs, “innocuous” weed, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and thousands more examples are indeed killing us softly. Most of these dangers people do not think about, nor care much about if they did. It’s all business as usual.
How many things can you cite in our daily lives that you can identify as intentional erosion? Transhumanism takes form in dozens and dozens of medical interventions. The indoctrination of fear is taking place in nearly every interface we have with the media, the news, music, art, literature, cinema and even in our daily intercourse with friends, family, and coworkers. The slow bleed out of our soul takes place daily with a complete and utter disregard for anything in life that has a spiritual or religious “angle.”
Tiny jabs, tiny cuts, tiny restrictions, tiny removals of freedom, individuality, creativity, and uniqueness are being dispensed day in and day out—and the consequences of these minor assaults add up. We surely, as a human race, will eventually die of a thousand cuts. More like several million if you ask me. But no one seems to care.

This is a disturbing After Skool video along the same topic.

One can boil all those symptoms into one encompassing evil, Powerist/socialists are attacking us every minute of every day. If we get rid of them, all the other problems disappear. Vote so it doesn’t have to get ugly.
Voting is just another form of virtue signaling. It accomplishes nothing.
It makes you look stupid and gullible…so there’s that anyway.
For the psychopaths that’s true. For the rest of us, it’s the last task before the SHTF.
So you are totally 100% sure that voting will not have any impact upon the process then ? Me ? like 75%sure , which for me just isn’t enough to keep me from spending a half hour or less filling in my ballot . Just on the off chance that it could matter ,Besides , not participating 100% guarantees you complicity in their behavior , because to not oppose is to acquesce . What if it was controlled opposition that actually got you all hooked on this notion that somehow the enlightened thing to do is to not participate ? I don’t get it ? Is that like not even a remote possibility in your minds ? I want to understand ?
I feel 95 % sure that voting won’t matter, but I too will vote on the “off chance” that it could.
That said, one could hypothesize that if enough people refused to vote at the federal level, formed a movement, and staged visible protests country-wide, a message of non-violent non-acquiescence to the whole rotten system might gain traction. Of course this won’t happen.
Last week we took our daughter to a regional 4-H competition that was taking place at a high school a couple counties away. Before then, I haven’t stepped foot in a public school in many years. We home school our kids, so have been fortunate enough to avoid the indoctrination camps. As we were waiting to do her presentation we waited in a hallway off of the main corridor of the building. From a glance things looked as they always have for decades. The boring old painted brick walls, hallways scattered with lockers, and the 80s style laminate floors. But a closer look at the billboards, posters on the walls, and signs on the classroom doors paints a different picture. We saw a few signs for the school “LGTBQIA+” club. Another for supporting diversity. Classroom doors had signs on them posted by teachers with pro-union slogans (“No union, no education”) and “It takes a vilage”. Keep in mind this was a small town school of mainly white kids, not some big city school.
When I was in school there was no such thing as a club for fags and trannys and we gave two shits about diversity. The teachers were not allowed to push their ideals onto the kids. We are glad we got the kids out of that environment.
The dreaming and creativity continue. It’s just not YOUR dream and your “style” of creativity. They dream of untold riches resulting from them inventing the next big video game or social platform instead getting it on with Mary Sue Rottencrotch. Who am I to tell them they have the wrong dream?
You really should get some new material.
Obviously you have never been to a men’s prison.
If your cell mate makes you his bitch, you are required topee sitting down.
It becomes a habit.
That is a telltale sign that a man was somone’s bitch in a prison.
Theses men or boys usually, after being released from prison as traumatised individuals, will then become transvestite prostetutes.
Many were pimped out in prison by the one who made them be his bitch. Sometimes they are referred to as ‘punks’.
Calling a man or boy a punk is very deragutory in meaning.
Most transgenders, and all alchholics and addicts suffered rape and malestation.
The sad thing is, that they can all be freed from that trauma and a use and its consequences if they recieve one dose of Ibugaine.
Which fir that very reason is illegal in the US.
Our government makes trillions off each illegal drug per year.
The CIA has run all drugs since theybkilled JFK to do it.
They need traumatised children to grow up to be addicts to sell their bodies and be criminals to make money.
They make money by putting people in prison.
The US has the highest number of people in prison.
90% of them grew up traumatized and abused in the foster care system. From which many others become adrenochrome which is where the big money comes from to the CIA.
Interesting! Our
So finding a way of ignoring or denying all of this is definitely a form of neurosis , while at the same time it would seem being totally consumed by it is yet another in my opinion ,I mean it produces a specific mental/ spiritual /psychological lense thru which we shrews( I’m not quite why the authors chooses the term shrews ?but I now in general whom he is referring to ) sure view everything , and I think they know that , making it a feature rather than a bug for them . Its yet another example of the many “heads they win tails we lose ” scenarios / false dichotomies that they create as their ” narratives ” ( ?) Kinda like: dont fight back / don’t attend that patriot rally ,or whatever ,because its surely been choreograghed for Fed entrampment . See ? damned if you do , damned if you don’t again . Somehow we have to find those third choices that dont fit within their narrative .
