Does flagrant degeneracy among the elite always presage a civilisational fall? From the Roman to the Ottoman empires, it seems to be a pattern. Even the fall of the ancient Persian empire to Islamic fundamentalism was preceded by its elite embracing Western swinging 60s norms that outraged its ultra-conservative majority.
Academic Camille Paglia argues that widespread androgyny is a sign of civilisation bent on cutting its own throat. “People who live in such times feel that they’re very sophisticated, they’re very cosmopolitan” — in other words, “on the right side of history”, as the Rainbow Progressives love to boast.
The grim reality is that history is on the side of the un-sophisticated “barbarians” who still actually believe in such “toxic” concepts as heroic masculinity. They may not have much diversity, but they are very, very strong.
If elite degeneracy comes before a fall, then American civilisation is clearly teetering on the precipice of the fall into night.
Early on, Biden named ‘Rachel’ Levine, a ‘transgender woman’ (biological male) pediatrician who supports gender surgery for children, to a high-ranking post at the Department of Health and Human Services, later promoting ‘her’ to the rank of admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps so his toadies could claim a historical ‘first’ and check another box.
Now we learn that a recent high-level hire at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy “defended a controversial gay prostitution website with a track record of allowing children to be promoted for sexual services on the platform,” according to The National Pulse.
Do you think a culture such as Fundamentalist Islam, or Communist China, is going to take one look at this freakshow and quiver in its boots?
In a September 2015 column for the gay outlet Advocate, Biden’s latest top nuclear hire delves into a deep defense of the Rentboy.com website, which was closed down in August of that year for illegal prostitution following a raid. “Rentboy” is a term for young men who have sex with older men in exchange for a fee, mostly under very dubious circumstances.
Which is indeed what Department of Homeland Security officials suspected, when they raided Rentboy’s Manhattan offices.
The following year, the CEO of the site, which connected male prostitutes and escorts with potential clients, was indicted on a charge of promoting prostitution to which he ultimately pleaded guilty.
The U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of New York’s indictment also revealed the site’s negligence regarding underage sex work, particularly across Asia […]
Regarding Asian posts, Rentboy “failed to comply with its own standards requiring age verification,” even ignoring “employees [who] complained to RENTBOY.COM management about the quantity of underage escort advertisements.”
So, what did the creepy, kooky and altogether ooky Brinton, who likes to spend its spare time being lead about on a lead, have to say about it? Apparently the real problem is “homophobia” and “transphobia”.
But despite these deeply disturbing revelations, Brinton nevertheless defended the site, writing that “…sex work disproportionately affects the LGBT community.”
“Transgender people engage in sex work at a rate 10 times that of cisgender (nontrans) women. And many LGBT youth engage in sex work just to survive. A 2013 Center for American Progress report suggests that LGBT youth are more than three times as likely to have engaged in survival sex,” he wrote.

Brinton called the raid “a devastating assault on some of the most vulnerable members of our community”. According to it, underage prostitution is as normal as a weekend job at Maccas: “earn[ing] a secure living safely”.
Tell me again that the left aren’t trying to normalise paedophilia.
