What our heroes tell about us?

In the USSR, where I grew up, the most famous hero, a communist martyr, and an official role model to follow was Pavlik Morozov, a 13-year-old boy from a Siberian village who, in 1932, was supposedly murdered by kulaks for his loyalty to the young socialist State. As usual with ideological martyrs, most of the story was untrue, but the important thing is that Pavlik's heroism glorified by Soviet propaganda was his testifying against his father, who issued forged documents to kulaks selected for deportations and let them hide grain from the State. For those who don't know the history of the USSR, the 1930s, the time of Soviet collectivization, is unofficially known by the name Holodomor. 10% of the agricultural population in Soviet Russia were labeled as kulaks and forcefully deported to Siberia with all their property being confiscated. At least 6 million people, mostly Ukranians, starved to death. A heroic, by Soviet standards, act of Pavlik Morozov was a death sentence for several families in his village, plus it inspired new young communists to report and send their own parents to the GULAG.

If you think that such a horrific sacrifice of individuals for the sake of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive future could never happen in the USA, think again.

Who do American teachers celebrate as heroes and role models for all students to ally with? What do they teach kindergarteners about little Jazz, a boy who became a girl? I'm sure that none of the teachers or drag queens who read I'm Jazz for kids tell them that Jazz is now a morbidly obese individual suffering from several medical and mental conditions who cannot become either a woman or a man. Who do the media and trans activists blame for the death of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old girl who believed that she was non-binary? They blame "transphobic bigots," not those who brainwashed this girl into thinking that if others don't affirm her delusion, she must kill herself.

Soviet Russia sacrificed "enemies of the State" for the sake of a bright communist future for all; Nazi Germany sacrificed their "unfit and undesirable" for the greater good of the Aryan nation; we, in America, sacrifice confused kids and mentally ill young adults for "their own good" and for gender industry's profits. Are we any better?
