The Equality Act Is Really the Inequality Act.



https://humanevents.com/2021/03/01/the-equality-act-is-really-the-inequality-act/">A world where the government gets to decide what gender and sexuality mean for the rest of us—what could possibly go wrong?



By David Kraydenon March 1, 2021



We live in an increasingly Orwellian world. Although it has become both a truism and a clichĂ© to invoke the words and spirit of George Orwell's classic novel 1984 to describe the political (un)reality around us, it's fair to say that, had Eric Arthur Blair had not thought of it first,  the Western Civilization has more or less invented an Orwellian world by this point.





The world of 1984 is one where "newspeak," the fictional language of Orwell's totalitarian state, Oceania, has become the language of the political masters.



Oceania's rulers have devised a controlled language with a strict vocabulary designed to limit an individual's ability to think and articulate, and they use it to describe lies as truth and war as peace. Through these machinations, the state has turned reality on its head, and nothing is as it appears to be.



Of course, politicians, time immemorial, have worked in an environment of euphemisms that tend to cloud or muddle the true intention of policies.



But there is rarely an example of more Oceanic legislation than what the Democrats have concocted with The Equality Act.


"But we have moved so far to the left in codifying, not rights, but special status to any group that can claim a grievance. And that outrageous demand for privilege is taken seriously, sometimes even granted.



But when someone's demand for privilege supersedes another person's basic right to life and liberty, it's time to cry foul and demand a return to sanity."




This^^^  :punish:



The lunatics are truely running the asylum and it's long past time we locked them back up, cleaned their feces off the walls and straightened shit out.
\"A man\'s rights rest in three boxes. The ballot-box, the jury-box and the cartridge-box.\"

Frederick Douglass, November 15, 1867.

As Orwell's 1984 Turns 70 It Predicted Much Of Today's Surveillance Society



George Orwell's famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four turns 70 years old next month. Looking back on its predictions and the state of the world today, how much did it get right in its predictions of a dystopian surveillance state where every word is monitored, unacceptable speech is deleted, history is rewritten or deleted altogether and individuals can become "unpersons" for holding views disliked by those in power? It turns out Orwell's predictions were frighteningly accurate.



In 1984, it was the state that determined what constituted acceptable speech in keeping society orderly.



In 2019, it is a small cadre of private companies in Silicon Valley and their executives that wield absolute power over what we are permitted to see and say online.



In 1984, there were just a few countries to which most of the world's citizens belonged.



In 2019, there are just a few social media empires to which most of the world's netizens belong.



In 1984, it was the state that conducted surveillance and censored speech.



In 2019, social media companies deploy vast armies of human and algorithmic moderators that surveil their users 24/7, flagging those that commit thoughtcrimes and deleting their violations from existence. Those that commit too many thoughtcrimes are banished to "unperson" status by these same private companies, without any intervention or even in contradiction with the will of the state and without any right to appeal.



In 1984, those who committed particularly egregious thoughtcrimes or had histories of them were banished into nonexistence, all traces of them deleted.



In 2019, social media companies can ban anyone at any time for any reason. Those banished from social's walled gardens can have every post they've ever written wiped away, every record of their existence banished into the memory hole. Those that dare to mention the name of the digitally departed or criticize their banishment can themselves face being banished and their concerns deleted, ensuring the "unperson" truly ceases to exist.

They are not crazy. They know exactly what they are doing. It's the latest ploy. Tomorrow another item, not to replace it, rather to add to it



But they will never give that "everyone who speaks against us is a "white nationalist" one up. It works / cancels too well for them .. While among a great many methods already, it's become their best single control / cancel weapon to date



The left are playing for keeps ...  and have every ally to assist already in motion. You mentioned "media" .. that's one of so many major arrows in their quiver.

Together they decided the last election down south .. thereby allowing them to pass laws that kneecap any opponent forever after. There is little to stop them now.

There were people of every race in that protest up in Edmonton..



Some people were carrying tiki torches like you would see in back yards in the summer, so according to Rachel Notley, they are white nationalists.
