Orwell wrote 1984 and Animal Farm to warn about such British Stalinists.

How long would the LGBTQ—RSTUVWXYZs have lasted in the former Soviet Union?

I’d really like to take a peek at the revisionist history books those kids are reading. Got to be some gems in there.

According to this line of thought, Solzhenistyn was an overwrought malcontent.

Remember, trans people are severely mentally ill, so in a way, they can’t be blamed for such comments.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1970)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Day_in_the_Life_of_Ivan_Denisovich

Ivan Denisovich Shukhov has been sentenced to a camp in the Soviet gulag system. He was accused of becoming a spy after being captured briefly by the Germans as a prisoner of war during World War II. He is innocent, but is sentenced to ten years in a forced labor camp.

The day begins with Shukhov waking up sick. For waking late, he is forced to clean the guardhouse, but this is a comparatively minor punishment. When Shukhov is finally able to leave the guardhouse, he goes to the dispensary to report his illness. It is relatively late in the morning by this time, however, so the orderly is unable to exempt any more workers and Shukhov must work.

The rest of the novel deals mainly with Shukhov’s squad (the 104th, which has 24 members), their allegiance to the squad leader, and the work that the prisoners (zeks) do in hopes of getting extra food for their performance. For example, they are seen working at a brutal construction site where the cold freezes the mortar used for bricklaying if not applied quickly enough. Solzhenitsyn also details the methods used by the prisoners to survive; the whole camp lives by the rule of survival of the fittest.

Tiurin, the foreman of gang 104, is strict but kind, and the squad’s fondness of Tiurin becomes more evident as the book progresses. Though a morose man, Tiurin is liked because he understands the prisoners, he talks to them, and he helps them. Shukhov is one of the hardest workers in the squad and is generally well-respected. Rations are meagre at the camp, but they are one of the few things that Shukhov lives for. He conserves the food that he receives and is always watchful for any item that he can hide and trade for food at a later date.

Maybe we should set up the equivalent for the LGBTQ so they can experience the “compassion and chance for education”

“Trans Right”? Is this the place where they ‘reach around’ and meet the Far left?

If trannies want to live in gulags who am I to object?

Sounds like they’re volunteering to live in such a facility.

The bottom line, they decided for someone else where they should be and what they should be doing. In several million cases they decided you shouldn’t be alive.

It’s anti-human, and anyone defending it identifies them self has a monster. Never give up the Second Amendment

In any large population you’re going to find some misguided weirdos with outrageous world views but that represent but a blip on the radar. Meanwhile the entire editorial board of the very website this article is published on, probably to a person, think that their particular brand of AngSoc is just fine, since they’ve been pumping it out via their tabloid pages for years.

There were plenty of people - myself included - who called this idiot out for his historical revisionism.

But this idiot seems to think (and there are plenty of liberal women included) that consider men with XY chromosomes who claim they are women are women.

It's rubbish, really.

And yes, almost all are mentally ill. Plenty were abused as children and are still broken. Instead of having someone be kind and tell them that no matter how they dress or think, they aren't women. They never will be. Instead, they have liberals enabling the delusion, including the fallacy that hormones will make them women - when the endocrine system is so complex in women that medically many are considered hysterical when they have actual medical problems.

80% would benefit from intensive therapy with their gender dysmorphia. The other 20% can't be helped because they are spoonfed (rubbish) that they can be anything they want, and modern medicine has no qualms experimenting on these people, giving them cross-hormones to render them infertile and make them susceptible to cancer and heart disease.

Much like I don't have anger at someone with Type 1 Diabetes, I won't be hurtful to these broken people. G_d knows they need prayers and help and instead of getting it, people enable the delusions to look "woke."

Eventually, women will be considered third-class citizens, especially where men who dress as women are higher on the PC grievance ladder. I personally will have a huge bowl of schadenfreude over it when these delusional women - liberal women - are thrown aside without remourse or regret.
