Thread Name: BS: a sign of the times!
Subject: RE: BS: a sign of the times!
Read the sections on Newspeak in 1984 and you will see the method behind the politically correct madness of reducing language to the characterless equivalent of oatmeal. It deprives people of the ability to think independently and reduces them to creatures who cannot express anything other than the sanctioned offical line because they have in effect been deprived of the words with which to express themselves in anything but the sanctioned official line.

The official line defines certain people automatically and ALWAYS as "victims" or "heros", due to their outer defining appearance or label, regardless of whether they are actually victims of anything or not. It forbids recognizing those people as perpetrators, even when they ARE perpetrators of violence and acts of hatred. It forbids any honest public dialogue about those people...any comment about them that is not laudatory. It enshrines prejudice and perpetuates division.

The intention behind it is not to protect people, but to enslave them in a mindless conformity which reduces complex and dire circumstances to mild, agreeable, and familiar propaganda slogans devoid of actual reality. Like, for instance, calling unprovoked invasion of another country a "war of liberation" and labelling aggression as a "pre-emptive defensive strike".

It means waging terrorism yourself, but calling it a "war on terrorism". It means dealing drugs internationally yourself, but claiming that you are waging "a war on drugs". It means referring to warmaking forces as "peacekeepers". Etc...

The USA had a huge bomber, the B-36, that they called the "Peacemaker". Yeah, right...it might better have been named, "The Terrorizer". In the event, they used B-52's instead to bomb places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, as they were a bit more advanced than the B-36, I suppose.

"Land theft" and "apartheid" are likewise referred to in euphemistic and positive terms like "providing security" by another political outfit who are so sacrosanct in these deluded times that one fears to even mention them critically by name...guess who? (And no, I don't mean "the Jews"...I have no objection whatsoever to the Jews...whom I regard to be equally as good and no more so than any other people.) I am referring to the Zionists. There are a significant number of thinking Jews in this World today who are opposed to Zionism, and they can be congratulated for actually following the true ideals set out in the Torah...which are to be honest, truthful, and fair in your treatment of all human beings. Zionists do not embody the true ideals of Judaism.
