Highlights From The Article:
"Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, a member of the progressive “squad,” recently accused those who disagree with student debt cancellation of "policy violence."
That is, to disagree with the left now is “violence.”
... Words mean whatever they want them to mean in order to achieve their far-left goals.
Pressley’s statement is also an implied threat. ...
The venomous hatred spewed by the Woke mob in the name of tolerance and inclusivity is indefensible.
That is why they do not defend it.
Instead, they generally try to bully people into submitting to their demands.
... in order, actually, to defend a thesis one must first formulate it properly with careful definitions and mobilize arguments and evidence in favor of it (a procedure that used to be commonplace in universities).
This they do not do. Consider first Northeastern University Gender Studies Professor Suzanna Danuta Walters’s claim (in a 2018 Washington Post article titled “Why can’t we hate all men?”) that “it seems logical to hate all men.”
... it is a political statement she uses in her pursuit of power for her own tribe.
She makes this explicit when in her article when she asks the “men” that she hates to “step aside” so that her political group can take power.
... the word “Black” as used in the expression “Black people” no longer means black when used by the woke left.
This is illustrated by Vanderbilt University Professor Michael Eric Dyson’s reaction to the November 2021 election, which caused so much distress to the left, of the Black Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears in Virginia.
Employing his usual alliteration of superfluous verbiage, Dyson stated that when Sears articulates her patriotic pro-American views “there is a Black mouth moving but a white idea running on the runway of the tongue.”
Orwell, in the same work, describes the technique:
“When there is a gap between one's real and declared aims, one turns, as it were instinctively, to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. …
All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.”
... By “Black person” Dyson means, roughly, someone who agrees with his leftist views and by “white person” he means, roughly, someone who disagrees with his leftist politics.
... The reference to race is a smokescreen to damage one’s opponent.
... When Bill Clinton, who is a Caucasian of Irish ancestry and whose skin color is white, was called “the first black president” ... It was meant that he held certain political left-of-center views the people who used that description found useful for their own pursuit of power.
There is, therefore, a sense in which one should not be distressed when members of the “woke” mob make such indefensible statements.
... they are not actually speaking English.
They are speaking a code that superficially resembles English.
... Walters and Dyson, and the woke mob generally, use language as a weapon of control, that is, as an instrument to achieve political power.
Walters’ message to men is that if they don’t want to be called hateful they must submit to her political views.
Dyson’s message to Black people is that although they may believe slavery ended 150 years ago, they are still owned by his political tribe.
... the Left’s achievement of its agenda requires the destruction of the English language, it is not clear that anyone really understands what anything means in the woke tower of Babel the left building in its frantic quest for unlimited power."
Our nation became a circus with Covid in 2020. The news media became the public relations firm of a government that decides what you don't need to know, and how to slant what you do need to know. Blog motto: "Is that true, or did you read it in the New York Times?" ... “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.” ...
