The Perpetual Woke Revision Of The Newspeak Dictionary

Posted on August 11, 2022 by The Political Hat

     Languages change and evolve over time, but forced change to impose correct thinking and make “wrongthink” impossible, as the novel “1984” demonstrates acutely with Newspeak and its evolving—and limiting—totalitarian control of words is very real and is being documented in real time as words are revised to suit the woke agenda and ideology.

The White Racial Stain Of Cis-Genderism

Posted on August 10, 2022 by The Political Hat

     Ah, that intersectional car crash of critical gender theory and critical race theory!   It turns out that White people can’t be “non-binary” because allegedly White people invented the “gender binary” to oppress BIPOC, thus all White people carry with them the sin of cis-gender identity even if they they say they aren’t.

     This is an example of “Kyriarchy” where queer White people oppress non-White queer people because of their oppressive privilege of being White. This person emphasizes race over all else, but justifies it by saying that “cis-heterosexuality” was an invention of White people, who are all collectively guilty across space and time, and thus can’t have the same level of purity as non-Whites who are all inherently queer and outside the “gender binary”, but only think they are because of those maleficent White devils.   And even if the evil Whites tear down the “gender binary”, they are still benefiting from the “gender binary” despite being non-binary because their sinful Whiteness imbues them with the privilege of the gender-binary and all the evil cis-genderism that comes with it.

Won’t Someone Ride Us Of These Meddlesome Climate Deniers?

Posted on August 9, 2022 by The Political Hat

     So secure in their faith that Gaia is punishing us all, Biden’s “National Climate Advisor” demands tech companies silence the voices of those icky deniers who fail to praise the “values” of “solar energy”!

     How dare they question what they are told to accept. How dare they interfer in the spreading of this “good word”?   Certainly after hearing the desires of the Biden administration, tech companies all on their own of course will censor the dissenters from the governments dictates of proper belief.

Out: Academic Freedom. In: Academic Liberation By Woke Groupthink

Posted on August 9, 2022 by The Political Hat

Meanwhile, at the UNC School of Medicine…

     The entire concept of academic freedom, where tenured professors can’t be fired for unpopular—or even unwoke—ideas fails when colleges and universities prohibit the hiring of anyone who refuses to proactively and enthusiastically endorse wokeness and the “DIE” agenda (diversity, inclusion, and equity). The UNC School of Medicine is one such institution demanding fealty to wokeness.

Arrested For Doubleplusungood Causing Of Anxiety

Posted on August 8, 2022 by The Political Hat

     Ah, the police in the U.K., where police ignore trivial things like rape and instead focus on what’s important: Punishing wrongthink, doubleplusungood utterances, and hunting down thoughtcriminals. Now, they have arrested someone for retweeting a political message critical of radical gender ideology.

     Yes, because criticizing an ideology that includes authoritarian if not outright totalitarian behavior be comparing it with an ideology that includes authoritarian if not outright totalitarian behavior might cause some anxiety to people pushing an ideology that includes authoritarian if not outright totalitarian behavior—which is not a bad thing.

     Oh, and what was this criminal retweet?

     Arraigning four of the plethora of “trans rights inclusive” rainbow LFBTQ&c. Flags into the shape of a swastika to express a political and personal opinion of an ideology that includes authoritarian if not outright totalitarian behavior by comparing it to an ideology that includes authoritarian if not outright totalitarian behavior.

Normalizing Euthanasia With A Children’s Activity Book

Posted on August 4, 2022 by The Political Hat

Death, Rx

     Canada, where poor medical care and lack of hospice has lead to euthanasia being pushed ever increasingly, is now seeing children targeted for indoctrination with the release of a “Medical Assistance in Dying Activity Book” for kids.

“Children are introduced into the medical killing fields by Canadian Virtual Hospice with its Medical Assistance in Dying Activity Book, described as being for children ages 6–12. In it, the child is taught how a person is killed during euthanasia:

“’The three medicines work like this: The first medicine makes the person feel very relaxed and fall asleep. They may yawn or snore or mumble.

“’The second medicine causes a “coma.” A coma looks like sleep but is much deeper than regular sleep. The person will not wake up or be bothered by noise or touch.

“’The third medicine makes the person’s lungs stop breathing and then their heart stops beating. Because of the coma, the person does not notice this happening and it does not hurt. When their heart and lungs stop working, their body dies. It will not start working again. This often happens in just a few minutes, but sometimes (rarely) it can take hours.’

“And if the person asks to die, there is no changing their mind:

“’As much as other people may want to change their mind, the person who is choosing MAiD probably wishes just as strongly that they could change their illness or condition and how it is affecting their life. When someone decides to ask for MAiD, it is usually after thinking very carefully and having very hard feelings for a long time. They may feel that nothing will change their mind because there is nothing that can help their body or their suffering get better.’

“That isn’t true, of course. Palliative care and appropriate emotional and psychological interventions can overcome suicide ideation in the seriously ill and disabled. But those asking for euthanasia are denied this essential hospice service. Moreover, only 15 percent of Canadians have adequate access to palliative care — a true scandal in a country that pushes euthanasia.”

Justice Alito On Rights And Freedom

Posted on August 3, 2022 by The Political Hat

     U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito recently spoke at the 2022 Religious Liberty Summit in Rome. Though news media highlighted his (justified) mocking of world leaders who bemoaned the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Alito spoke more generally on how rights and freedoms under the U.S. Constitution are understood differently from how rights and freedoms are discussed in the rest of the world, specifically the difference between negative rights and positive law.

     His full speech is well worth listening to beyond the “foreign leaders” quip:

Anti-Prayer Zones In Ireland

Posted on August 2, 2022 by The Political Hat

     Ireland, in less than a generation, went from being conservative and religious to become a secular and leftist state. No wear can this better be seen by a country that had relatively recently banned abortions now banning prayer outside of hospitals where abortions are performed.

“Pro-life campaigners in Ireland have criticized a government plan that would criminalize prayer vigils outside abortion facilities.

“Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly announced July 27 that he has secured government approval to legislate for the designation of co-called “safe access zones” around facilities providing abortions.

“He said that pro-life activists found protesting or having prayer vigils — even silent ones — less than 100 meters from abortion facilities would face jail sentences, fines or a combination of both under the new legislation.”
