An excellent essay, though long touches at the root of the decay within our society, nation, and politics.

Some of the very reasons I loathe Marxist, socialists, the politically correct, etc.

I find these threads hard to relate to without some pictures.

Watch this video and see if any of it sounds familiar. It’s 16 minutes long but worth the time.

“An impalpable censorship is eliminating all intellectual and artistic vitality in Western society with a vengeance; persistent recourse to euphemism and circumlocution is corrupting and debasing language; and the coercive atmosphere of guilt, fear and intimidation surrounding this censorship is inhibiting the easy give-and-take of human discourse, the life-blood of democratic institutions, and ultimately of man’s own social and spiritual life. Thoreau warned us to ‘beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.’ What would he have said about enterprises that require new vocabulary?”

Or,as my cousin Earnest T, would’ve said:

“Them folks up there at the top been telling sweet sounded stories and such and going round bleeping here and there and just about everywhere for near on forty years now until a feller just about can’t afforf to say a darn thing fearing he’ll wind up in one of them anger managing things tey’s been giving my kids lately.

My old Pop woulda told them that my overhauls is good enough for Sunday as long as them and me is both clean.
