00:00:00 - 00:15:00

In "Trench - A Christian Guide to the Culture War | Ep.19 - Foolishness", Shane Claiborne describes how the soft generation has turned its back on truth in favor of love and compassion. This has led to people behaving in ways that are not truly representative of their biological identity. Charlie Evans from Newcastle England describes regret she has after transitioning to male, and the consequences this has had on her mental and physical health. Night talks about how he's never felt so overpowered in his life, and how Fox's grip was different. He points out that if somebody had spoken some biological truth into the matter, such as telling Brent that he is actually a man, the situation could have been resolved without any injuries. This video serves as a reminder that we must be careful not to let our compassion get in the way of reality.

• 00:00:00 In the soft generation, love and compassion take precedence over truth, leading to people behaving in ways that are not truly representative of their biological identity. In December 2015, a 52-year-old Canadian man renamed himself Stephanie and left his wife and seven children to connect with a transgender community in Toronto. In 2015, a CrossFit enthusiast called Tyler De Young decided to transition to 2011, which would have made him four years old. In 2016, a 20-year-old Norwegian woman renamed herself Nano and began identifying as a cat. Additionally, a PhD student in Arizona identified as a hippopotamus. In a previous age, where truth mattered, these individuals would have been diagnosed with a mental illness or a disorder. However, in the soft generation, love and compassion take precedence, and they are celebrated rather than accepted for who they are.
• 00:05:00 In "Trench - A Christian Guide to the Culture War | Ep.19 - Foolishness", a video by Shane Claiborne, a western civilization is described as playing along with delusions out of compassion, instead of calling them out as haters and bigots. This is a problem because it leads to the unhappiness of those who are suffering from delusions, as well as the general loss of sanity among those who are living in the postmodern world. The trench theory explains exactly what has happened, and why our society has turned its back on the truth.
