The tyrants of today are the "progressives" (of whom there are some in both parties) who seek to prevent the expression of any view contrary to their own. And the entire time, they claim not only that they are committed to free speech, diversity, compassion, and tolerance --but that they er THE ONLY ONES.

And now they're imposing this on the youth through the schools and the culture.

Yet the similarities between today's progressives and the brutal tyrants of old are inescapable.

As Bill Buckley said, "'Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other points of view."

They have complete control, in the universities. It’s there that they deploy their entire strategy. They excel at forcing students to adopt language that conforms to the party line.

It’s happening right now, with those pronouns for dickchoppers:

You pay big bucks to send kids to college, and this is what they get.

Great article. Thanks for posting. Sad, though.

“...merely by being labeled as such stands as accusation, condemnation and implied deserved punishment due the “just wrath” of — the National Socialist German people, the Soviet Socialist toiling masses, the “unprivileged” race victims of “white privilege.”

The truth will not be tolerated.

War is peace

Ignorance is strength

Freedom is slavery

Every day I see “conservative” writers using THEY where the correct word is HE or SHE.

Even when the antecedent is SON or DAUGHTER!

“Passed away,” originated, I presume, with undertakers. Its use with respect to historical figures or total strangers (Abraham Lincoln passed away in Washington, D.C., in 1865.) or pets is prissy and irritating. (Also annoying: “Former President” Abraham Lincoln...

Upper Class: He died.
Middle Class: He passed away.
Lower Class: He went home to Jesus.

As with most issues, conservatives allow communists to declare the rules and define the terms of any debate. Then we lose by design.

Example: “Homosexual”: There is no such thing, since sex is inherently about reproduction. I refuse to concede the argument at the outset by using that ersatz term; it is properly designated homoeroticism.

“The sole purpose of the [Nazi use and form of language] is to strip everyone of THEIR individuality, to paralyze THEM as personalities, to make THEM into unthinking and docile cattle in a herd driven and hounded in a particular direction, to turn them (Here, the antecedent is “cattle.”) into atoms in a huge rolling block of stone . . . Where [Nazi language] addresses the individual . . . where it educates, it teaches means of breeding fanaticism and techniques of mass suggestion.”

This passage (probably translated) is an example of the totalitarianism of our own time. Lesbonics.
