October’s autumn gloom continues into November, briefly broken by the festivities of Halloween, a fantasy holiday when children dress in costumes and pretend to be people and things they are not.
 
October is also a time when a tiny minority of adults often dress in costumes and pretend to be things and people they are not, because the entire month of October is LGBT History Month, with it’s own woke fantasy celebrations:
 
October 8 - International Lesbian Day
October 11 - National Coming Out Day
October 17-24 Genderfluid Visibility Week
October 19 - International Pronoun Day
October 19 - Spirit Day (Support for LGBTQ+ Youth)
October 23-29 Asexual Awareness Week
October 26 - Intersex Awareness Day
 
How ironic, and what a disproportionate number of celebrations for
such a tiny proportion of the USSA’s (if not Earth’s) population.
How could so few people have so many holidays, not just in October but all year ‘round? How do so few speak with such a loud voice and what drives them and their endorsers?
 
The answer is clear if you understand that the former Marxist class struggle has been strategically replaced by a Marxist-derived cultural struggle, and it's clearly visible in this photo of Clemson students protesting their university's decision to remove tampon dispensers from men's lavatories (men don't menstruate) on campus:

Do the anarchy and communism symbols seem out of place among protestors outraged that Clemson is removing tampon dispensers from men’s rooms? Not if you understand that the LGBT-etc movement is a cultural push that shields itself from criticism through a false pretense of that asserts “love” is a human right, and anyone who disagrees is a “homophobic” bigot.

The left is constantly discovering new rights—human or otherwise—and declaring them inviolable as if they have the force of law and full support of The People™ even if they don't.

This has nothing to do with love unless one defines love as normalizing sexual perversion, which has long been a goal of communist subversives. This has everything to do radical change to deconstruct, disrupt and destroy existing society, culture and institutions—completely anarchistic by nature.

Notice any clues in this photo of one of those absurd men’s room tampon dispensers:

As you can see, it’s all about change, not about menstruation, love or human rights. It’s not a solution to a pressing problem, it’s a cynical message that the left is ready, willing and able to impose it’s twisted values on you and make you a pariah if you don’t walk in lockstep—or until your freedom of thought is eliminated.

RE: "How do so few speak with such a loud voice and what drives them and their endorsers?"

Homosexuality used to be called, "The love that dare not speak it's name". Nowadays it's the aberration that won't shut the f#ck up.

"Homo-leftism" and it's incestuous cousin "Transgenderism" are fashionable these days. Damn, how I long for the days of so-called "Toxic Masculinity", when men were men and women were, well, women. *

The world was a better place then. Not perfect, but better.

*No misogyny expressed or intended - I've had women as Company Commanders, Flight Instructors, bosses, teachers, etc., survived 12 years with nuns, and have sisters. My late mother was a strong-willed Southern lady. Oh, yeah, and I have a wife and a daughter too.

On a more sinister note, destruction of "traditional gender identity" and destruction of the traditional family are just more ways of destroying civilization and culture, especially Judaeo-Christian culture. The freaks holding the signs in the picture above are what Stalin referred to as, "useful Idiots" - they're too dumb to realize that when it all collapses, they'll be the first to go.....

They missed the October Revolution (Oct 25 old style, Nov 7 new style).

Seems like they had it covered:

October 23-29 Asexual Awareness Week

At least under the old calendar. 

The jackalope is very sad.

As if to reinforce my argument, the Alphabet Mafia continues its support for "Palestine," and not just in the U.S. Clearly, it has hitched its wagon to anti-semitism and the bogus "Palestinian" cause.



The irony is delicious when one considers that Islamists have a tendency to toss LGBT people off roofs, burn them, hang them, etc. while Israel has increasingly shown tolerance toward LGBT people.

This shows—once again—that the Alphabet Mafia's militant "movement," which long ago departed from its original ostensible raison d'être of peaceful coexistence—will cast it's lot with any other militant cause, no matter how reprehensible.

The best thing about Oktoberfest is that it starts in September, ends in November, but continues through to next September because of German ingenuity—they've built one or more hofbrauhaus in almost every city so the festivities can continue perpetually...

Bread… and Roses? Shouldn’t that read Bread and Circuses? The elephants are missed, but they always are in such circumstances.

Where’s Comrade Panem on this?

"Bread and Roses" was a phrase, then a poem, then a song—since 1912—that's been associated with labor strikes, womyn's suffrage, the womyn's labor union movement (socialism), and socialism and strikes in general ever since.

Various logos show the roses but never the bread, so there's no panis for Panem to chew on here.
 

The rose also holds religious significance among Moslems.

Marginal Note: In his novel, "From Russia With Love," Ian Fleming drew some sort of parallel between the Russian words red rose (krasnaya roza) and beautiful Russia (krasivaya Rossiya). It's true that the Russian words for red and beautiful are similar as are the words rose and Russia, but a connection between roses and communism doesn't exist as much as a connection between red and communism (and socialism). 

 

Thanks for the roses, Colonel O.

That was just 'pelipsky touching side of your panem with a hot grill. No worries....yet. Colonel O explained how Womynx Socialists ruined roses for everybody! They protest for Bread and Roses when they ought to be concerned about dinner, and a show - Bread and Circuses. No wonder communism never works. Protestors start asking for the wrongthink thing, and getting it.
