Stanford Hurtful Words (Page 1/4)

They issued a guide to say and not to say.

Words like, "american" and "survivor" are hurtful and shouldn't be said.

In fact, they want these list of words to be banned from the English language and you being punished for a thought and hate crime.

Well that does it. They are marginalizing the culture of my people.

If I want to call Biden a senile basket case, it is my birthright, my heritage. It is oppressive to deny me the right to use the language that has been passed down to me by generations of my ancestors.

Where is the ACLU when you need them?

It's convenient for some people to claim that these are the objectives of the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative or ELHI.

This ELHI has some merit. People shouldn't rush to judgement about it and make the mistake of throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Oh wait... I probably shouldn't have put it that way.

Ya know, they might be right.

Hurtful and harmful words need to be banned.

Lets start with modern pronouns, which are downright destructive to anybody with 1/2 a brain.

Well,
imposing insane rules is a blatant violation of the 1st amendment.
' May we suggest all of you speak the way we like it ? '
' We have posted new rules for you, penalties to be determined arbitrarily proportional to payments to dempartie grift. '
' This is a hold-up, and you better shut up about it, if you want to live. '

This is the point where the 2nd amendment becomes relevant.
Round up the authors, violate their constitutional rights by arms, interrogate them for a few years without legal counsel.
Philosophical questions, into the nervous system of each specimen, Ai Voight-Kampff neural pattern recognition.
' Are you now, or have ever been, sympathetic to Russian Collusion ? '

' You,
take door number two,
you,
take door number two,
you,
take door number one. '
Separating ideologues of marxist theology from their comfort zones in western societies.
60 million new immigrants breach the Russian border from Ukraine,
forced by law, and gun barrels.
Make a happy face,
' See ?
Your dreams have come true !
Into the gulags with you !
Indentured servitude for life, an equalizing paradigm,
except for those more equal. '


' The difference between theory and practice is that,
in theory,
there is no difference between theory and practice,
but in practice,
there is.'

It is a war, so, you'll have to fight,
or die.
One way or another, the Constitution will prevail.

Of course it is fascist thinking and mindset to control the use of words and language for the population to use. But this mindset is prevalent and growing in acceptance due to indoctrination.

There are even people here on this forum that would relish the chance to condemn someone to prison and wreck their lives for speaking against their fascist ideology. That is why there was such a wide acceptance of fascism in leftist ideology and why they didn't seem to think it was wrong to slaughter millions of people who didn't "think" like them.

Yes, it is a battle of ideas. Unfortunately many of our fellow human beings find ourselves on the other side of the equation in many parts of the world and throughout history. The Constitution is the only idea that keeps the thin veil of freedom from collapsing in America. But it gets battering rammed every day by the fascist left who want to tear it down.

Orwell covered this concept very well in his book "1984" with the ideas of "Newspeak" vs "Oldspeak" and "Doublespeak"

https://www.englishworks.co...enance%20of%20power.

"Syme encourages Winston to recognize that the “whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought”. He explains, “in the end we shall make thought crime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it.

Syme refers to the fact that individual thought, rebellious or “unorthodox” thoughts will be impossible and so, too, will the true concept of individual freedom. Each concept will be expressed in just “one” word. Any “subsidiary meanings will be rubbed out and forgotten”.

The party controls the mind through the control of language (Newspeak), the control of history (the past) and the control of war / enemies, the process of DoubleThink.

Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought.

By “cutting down the choice of words” to a minimum, to “the bone”, people will be restricted in their capacity to think."
