Here are two of my tweets, oops, they’re now called “posts” on X (formerly Twitter) about more Dem word games I responded to:
Seriously, Rachael Levine floated calling mother “egg-producers” as if we’re hens. Here’s the full Ted Cruz tweet that I quote tweeted:
These word games come in a lot of different directions, but this transgender effort to keep mainstreaming new terms like instead of pregnant women, they floated “birthing people” isn’t just crazy people. It’s important to try to figure out what’s the objective behind these word games. Well, with neutralizing motherhood, the objective is to destroy the traditional family structure and replace it with more fluid human relationships.
I am working on posts about the 2024 presidential race, but wanted to get this short piece out. I’m still reading the first volume in a 3-volume set on China’s history post WWII and the Chinese revolution, because I realized I didn’t really know a whole lot about that. That’s one of my quirks with things, I often get interested in a topic and then set out and read as much as I can about it. I also ordered several books, that I saw in footnotes of some other books, about totalitarianism. Not sure when I’ll find time to read all this, but at least the books are here waiting.
Back to the word games and efforts to destroy traditional family structure, well, Chairman Mao, the Communist dictator, tried to do that too with his cultural revolution and so many of the tactics used in the American left’s culture war, especially the current racial and gender politics strongly resemble Maoist and Soviet tactics. Mao actually received training, support, and arms from Stalin to launch his Chinese revolution, so it’s not surprising many of the same tactics were used. The Soviets also sent many trainers and advisors to China.
Words give meaning to our lives and experiences and allow us to connect and form bonds. By uprooting the language, it literally makes it impossible for people to communicate effectively and by making so many words taboo and instilling fear of social reprisal for using the “wrong” words, it forces us into self-censoring our speech – and that steals our free speech. I’ve watched YouTube content creators go through this substituting words hesitations, to avoid having their content banned or demonetized, from discussing COVID to taking about firearms to who knows what the liberal censors at YouTube will try to silence next. And the other social media platforms do the same thing – even X, despite this widespread belief among a lot of the right that Elon Musk is going to save free speech. Elon Musk really wants to turn X into a platform where people do everything – from messaging, digital banking, and entertainment. He assuredly will be scooping up as much data as possible with this enterprise, just like the other social media platforms. I fear we’ll have fewer and fewer zones of privacy in our lives in the near future, but I hope more people will become aware of how important free speech really is and freely exercise it.
