Political Correctness is communist propaganda writ small.

** Political Correctness Is Much More Harmful Than People Realize Amalric de Droevig https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Amalric de Droevig[field_author_has_account_] (393 views) on Fri, Jan 11, 2019 A recent poll found that Political Correctness is extremely unpopular in America, even amongst moderates and independents, which got me thinking on the subject. There exists an old quote from a famed British psychiatrist by the name of Anthony Daniels regarding Political Correctness. It is the best quote I know of on the subject, and I have been mulling it over for some time, considering its meaning and its implications. The quote reads: Political Correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine Political Correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. In this way, Political Correctness can be seen not only as a form of narrative control and truth suppression, but as a type of relentless bullying. Speech codes and persistent propaganda no one is even allowed to object to (like diversity worship or the fictions we constantly hear about human equality), reinforce society’s sense of powerlessness. If you can get people to assent to obvious lies, or better yet to repeat them, or better still to absorb them, which is to say to lie to themselves, there is virtually nothing you can’t make them do. You have broken the seal, as drinkers say. It is as if you have forced a man to murder an innocent, or to rape his own sister. You have destroyed a bit of his soul, you have forced him to surrender, to submit, to choose pragmatism over rectitude, to abandon his reason for the sake of social or professional survival. Once a man has lost his sense of shame, of pride, of agency, of integrity, once he must abandon his own conscience and put on a performance for all the world to see just so that he’ll be socially accepted, he’s a sheep being led to slaughter at that point. He has been subjugated completely. His heart is a gaping wound. He has been warped and debased to his core, to his essence. We must see Political Correctness then as a very intense form of psychological and spiritual warfare. The goal of it is not just to censor ideas and words and keep people in the dark. The ultimate goal is to destroy the subject’s sense of right, and the subject’s sense of shame, and most importantly, the subject’s will to resist, to live a life of authenticity, of honor, of virtue. Once these dams are broken, vice flows effortlessly downhill for the individual, and for societies living in the shadow of these dams, known colloquially as principle, conscience, probity, integrity, honor and civic virtue--- the things that uphold human civilization. If people aren’t even willing to stand up and rebuff the most glaring of falsehoods, what will they stand up to? They will go along with most anything at that point. People conditioned to wear a mask every day of their lives, to present to the world a perfectly false self, to celebrate things no decent or sensible person could or would celebrate, have already assented to the intolerable. When the most unthinkable atrocities arrive, they will be more than ready to tolerate them. They have had ample practice tolerating the unthinkable already. They have already assented many times to denying the reality right before their very eyes, and to countenancing what they know in their hearts to be pure evil. If we understand Political Correctness this way, we must understand Political Correctness to not only be an assault on the truth, which it is of course, but as the main front of a war on human liberty itself, on free minds, on free peoples, on free nations. Political Correctness paves the way for the army of horribles behind it, by turning madness into gospel, meekness into fashion, and surrender into habit. Vanquished, demoralized peoples do not fight back, they do not rise up and deliver themselves from Marxist tyranny. They applaud rather than cringe (as all people of sound mind would do) when their overlords trot out, on national television, an 11 year old drag queen dressed up in the attire of a street hooker. They do nothing when told that 9 year old boys are perfectly capable of deciding to start physically transitioning into girls via powerful, permanently mind-altering and body-altering pharmaceuticals. They play along when Cultural Marxist oligarchs and media personalities tell us that flooding the country with criminals and imbeciles from the third world will lead to moral and social progress. They remain silent when they are told that East Asians and whites are the real racists for not wanting to be systematically racially discriminated against in hiring and university admissions countrywide. Because who would assent to absurdity is half-way to atrocity already. He has sacrificed a piece of his soul for security, but will not receive it. The universe never has and never will reward such a bargain.

How Feminism, aka worthless feminazi scum is funded

09 Jan '19

feminazi scum (aka feminists) got a 200 millions loan from the americunt government. Notice how feminist scum in a banana republic is 'financed' by the supreme scum of the planet, the americunt government. Though of course, the loan will be repaid with money stolen from argie taxpayers. So americunt scum will actually get back their 'capital' PLUS usury. https://www.iadb.org/es/noticias/el-bid-acompana-medidas-para-impulsar-la-i…

revelling in bigotry's comedic shock value != evil fascist intention
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

OFFICIAL CAUTION: Revelling in bigotry's comedic shock value, scattering melting snowflakes in your wake, slashing "hissing weasels" from their fake-God pedestals of female fake-purity with every biting sardonic bigotry trope in Pepe's and Gritty's trope books, is known to cause spontaneous feelings of joy, relief, satisfaction and occasionally sensations of a dawning enlightenment. Wherewith the 'evil fascist' behind every triggering, every Russian, every conservative? Not by half, Watson; 'tis but one of the the weak-willed's visious step sisters ... trumpt da da daaa ... conflation. Conflations, ad-homs, straw men, false dichotomies and an endless litany more, are set upon those with goodly and true intentions to bust The Ministry's fascist PC dictates twisting the minds of the young and of the uninformed. Stay strong my fellow Souls and continue to banish all politically correct hypocrisies enslaving the NPCs, and witness the seedlings of your temporarily embarrassed human targets - some will whither and die, some taste the sunshine and fresh waters of your meme rains, beginning their journey to adulthood, to becoming human and possibly to reach being worthy of that class, "man". So ride, muh grits! Meme! Don thou asbestos suit and create thy world already. Go forth humbly and forthrightly, yet shirk not thy holy duty to trigger. Peace, and may God ride with you in this, our collective journey of healing and trigger train meme gangs. We are close. Our abundant opportunites are now only short before us. Heed your own most personal call - be true to you and your Creator - in Present World, Future Needs YOU‼

Aaron Swartz stalked by feds years before previously known.
by Razer 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

"Nearly two years before the U.S. government’s first known inquiry into the activities of Reddit co-founder and famed digital activist Aaron Swartz, the FBI swept up his email data in a counterterrorism investigation that also ensnared students at an American university, according to a once-secret document first published by Gizmodo. The email data belonging to Swartz, who was likely not the target of the counterterrorism investigation, was cataloged by the FBI and accessed more than a year later as it weighed potential charges against him for something wholly unrelated." https://gizmodo.com/fbi-secretly-collected-data-on-aaron-swartz-earlier-tha… Sent from my AndroWeenie dee-vice with K-9 Mail
