The Conservative Cave

Abandonment is a dominant theme of our age, and most of it is government-enabled. Adults abandon their own children and spouses en masse through no-responsibility divorce, subsidized indolence, and abortion. Children abandon parents to old folks’ homes, some visiting rarely. And parents abandon children to daycare from birth, screentime with deranged strangers, and public schools that increasingly function like orphanages.

So it should be no surprise there’s now a trend of children abandoning non-abusive family members. The “no contact” movement is another logical outcome of the sexual revolution and “Me Generation’s” firm belief that people are objects to use rather than sacred souls born or vowed into lifetime obligations.

No Contact, a book out Sept. 8 by regular Federalist contributor Noelle Mering, explores this trend in the generous, apolitical style of Abigail Shrier’s 2024 bestseller, Bad Therapy. Mering notes the majority of family cutoffs today are driven by cultural Marxism. This means most kids who go “no contact” today are triggered by religious and political disagreements, such as family members’ unwillingness to enthusiastically endorse LGBTQ behaviors and disinclination to vote for Democrats.

Thursday will mark one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a leftist on a Utah college campus. A day that should be one of reflection and national unity is instead reportedly being used by Georgetown University students to hold a Charlie Kirk look-alike contest.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital that the event is meant to mock Kirk, while a Georgetown University spokesman said that “making light of a victim of violence is counter to our values and deeply disappointing,” according to the New York Post.

Perhaps the ghoulish display of celebration of an assassination on Georgetown’s campus is unsurprising given that immediately after Kirk’s assassination, someone posted a flyer from the John Brown Club celebrating the political violence. The sign read: “Hey, Fascist! Catch! The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.” As The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood pointed out, the phrase “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” refers to the engraving on one of the bullet casings that Kirk’s alleged killer planned to use in his attack. (The John Brown Club was not on the list of student clubs recognized by Georgetown at the time, as Fleetwood reported).

“He appeared in that tent wanting to ask questions,” Mahoning County Prosecutor Lynn Maro told the judge during the hearing. “You should know law enforcement gained consent for them to have complete access to his cellphone so they found no threats.”

Maro said after the hearing that the video Havas took shows him “walking into the tent recording and moving forward, calling out her name.” Acton, a physician, is the state’s former public health director.

"You better get ready for ... war." Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a "Big Tent Party," socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.
In Chicago, radicals gathered for a conference on Marxism during what many view as the heyday of socialism in the United States....

Speakers in Chicago used the conference to push supporters to the next stage in the movement, including some openly calling for violence and the end to capitalism.

University of California Santa Barbara History Professor Butch Ware said Democrats "must be destroyed" and urged attendees to be ready for "war in the streets." Notably, in postings on X, Ware has said that candidates such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed are too restrained and are being pushed by the establishment "to contain radicalism."

The professor "of Africa and Islam" whose faculty page is appropriately found under "bware" is the latest radical to dismiss the "Big Tent Party" rhetoric of establishment figures like Schumer. He declared, "The Democrats cannot be reasoned with. They must be destroyed." There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: "You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons."

...

Hasan Piker has called for a purging of moderates from the Democratic Party.

Just last week, Darializa Avila Chevalier declared, "A big tent doesn't pay your rent, lower your grocery bill, or take on the corporations bleeding our country dry. Democratic socialism does."

In a video posted to X, Professor Ware called for violence, warning followers that "some of these clickety-clack revolutionaries have never been in a f*cking gunfight." He menacingly added, "Y'all ain't nowhere near ready for a war in the streets. You better get ready for both kinds of war if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready."

...

Notably, this is the same university that saw a professor lead her students in physically assaulting pro-life advocates on campus years ago. Despite pleading guilty to criminal assault, she was not fired and later honored by the University of Oregon for her inspiring leadership.
