Thread Name: BS: I dont understand the word homophobia
Subject: RE: BS: I dont understand the word homophobia
Yes Guest, you are right, hatred of homosexuals is what is written on the tin......hatred.
I don't see how anyone can be afraid of homosexuals, any more than being afraid of any other human being.
We are all human beings regardless of our sexual behavior.

The word is "newspeak", and it is used to demonise anyone who questions the liberal agenda, especially people of faith.
It is linked to political correctness and the idea of "thought crime"
Orwell used "newspeak" to illustrate how humanity could be silenced and intimidated by the use of certain words and phrases.....It is used not only by authoritarian governments, but also factions with access to great power, as in the use of the media and government agencies.

The health service public information pages are full of "newspeak", the only parts that cannot be adulterated are the statistics, but moves are afoot the conceal even them from public scrutiny.

Orwell would be even more appalled by the insidious nature of present day "liberalism" than he was of totalitarianism.
He would fight it tooth and claw....freedom of speech and freedom of thought are to valuable to be removed from society.

Orwell valued our traditions, our history and our literature, he would be disgusted to see how much of it is being rewritten in the "liberal" image.
