This is so true. I once had a job teaching in a school run by old former Russian Commie immigrants. Those people are crazy in a way you can't fathom. It's not garden-variety crazy, like black is white or up is down. It's like black is square and up is marmalade - totally untethered from reality. You can't explain it but it's crazy-making and soul crushing and I had to quit before I lost my mind. And it is deliberate. Now we have American parents passively accepting "drag queen story time" - WTF??? This guy sums it up so well. Pedes, if it feels insane, IT IS. Let's call it out!
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.
I had a similar thought about all of this - there is so much in-your-face blatancy of lies, dehumanization and insults, but I wasn't able to connect the dots. Of course, it makes sense.
However - propaganda has multiple purposes. It is meant to convert people into adhering the ideology, keep the chains maintained and subjugate their political enemies.
It is meant to shape the perception of normalcy. To make absurdity and falsehood a normality and sanity and truth an abnormality.
Yesterday’s Dan Bongino show featured an article by Victor Davis Hanson, I believe it was called “A guide to Wokeness.” It was outstanding! And it was such a good explanation of the above. Basically because progressives have no real viable policies, they get votes by creating enemies that they then need to protect you from. They create these enemies by using language. The example given in Dan Bongino‘s show was “anti-racist.” Now it’s not enough to merely treat people fairly. You must declare yourself an anti-racist otherwise you are by default a racist if you are not actively fighting against racism every day. Therefore you are an enemy.
I've asked several dedicated mask wearers, "If tomorrow the gov't said the virus was gone, would you stop wearing a mask?" Their response has been no. I follow up with, "You started wearing one that fast". They're in love with being scared.
This quote is why Donald Trump- the slayer of P.C. culture, must secure his next four years. It’s the only way to prevent us from becoming a commy nation
"Emasculated liars". This plandemic has brought them out front and center. Friends that I thought were normal and now cower, even encourage, this statist government have been exposed.
this ties in exactly with what JBP says about speaking the truth: the ussr was able to exist simply because people acquiesced and repeated the lies, even though they knew they were lies.
i truly feel that his advice, 'never say anything that diminishes you' is some of the most solid i've ever come across.
It's like murderers who say the first one's the hardest, but it gets easier from there.
Propaganda forces cowards into becoming liars. But then, rather than be struck by lightning for their crimes, they instead get rewarded for their compliant lies. They lose their fear of lying while becoming afraid of telling the truth.
Sooner rather later, they start to find lying easier and easier, until it just becomes automatic.

Here's the interview that quote came from:

Thanks for posting the text in a clear font. And thanks for posting the link. Really good interview.
They're both great people well worth reading more from.
I hate it that older FrontPage stuff is no longer available at their site, and is not available on the Wayback Machine.

Whatever I bet this bigot think women can’t have penises
The most beautiful First Lady Ever (Big Mike) has a HUGE penis he sticks in Barack Hussein Obama almost every night. Ask Joan.
The most admired female penis
😆
WEAR THE MASK
I've asked several dedicated mask wearers, "If tomorrow the gov't said the virus was gone, would you stop wearing a mask?" Their response has been no. I follow up with, "You started wearing one that fast". They're in love with being scared.
Once you cut off someone's balls, they rarely grow back.
Awesome question/followup. Can I steal that?
Please do!
Thank you!

Same here and I don’t know how you can un-mindfuck them
thanks for posting. This was very informative!
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.

Jbp?
I have no shame or humiliation.
If they try that shit I just blast it back in their faces.
Asian culture is oriented by humiliation. This is why they might not escape it.
Democrats are evil. Period. End of statement.
He has an interesting background. Theodore Dalrymple is a pen name, his real name is Anthony Malcom Daniels.
His father a communist, his mother a jew and a Nazi refugee. He's an atheist and a conservative.
He also spent his career working as a doctor in prisons and hospitals in low-income areas, both in the UK, and Africa.
Unlike a lot of cultural critics, he's been in the trenches.
Jokes on them. My life is one big humiliation.
Everyone should read Theodore Dalrymple, btw. Depressing as fuck, but fucking awesome.
This is exactly right.
Probably my favorite political quote. I've lost count of the number of times I've posted it.
So true!
Got anymore of them pixles?
That is a pretty great quote
I prefer to call it Gitmo.
Theodore is based...
And also didnt kill himself
'To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself'
-Best part, in my opinion.
