George Orwell wrote his cautionary book titled Nineteen Eighty-Four about what progressive lefists would become, if unconstrained. It was intended to be a warning, but seems to have been taken as a roadmap. A key part of it was the idea of political correctness (wrongthink) devolving into "thought crimes". He was prophetic.

In 1949, George Orwell wrote his cautionary book titled Nineteen Eighty-Four[1], positing what a world would look like by the year 1984. After all, he’d seen what the trends of Socialism had done to the world around him (in England and the U.S., USSR, Germany, China, and so on). And I'm not talking about just the economic devastation, but the broader cultural intolerance, purges, revisionism and demanding conformity that is a prerequisite to enable Social ownership (and the resulting loss of individual liberty). So he just imagined and documented where the current cultural trajectory would most likely lead, if unimpeded.

Intro[edit | edit source]

IngSoc.png
BigBrother.jpg

In Orwell's book, IngSoc (English Socialism) would spread and the U.S and England would merge into a tyrannical single-party dystopia, epitomized by Big Brother. Following Socialism’s normal mode of operation, the state would spy on everyone, demand conformance, and use their politically-correct invented language, called Newspeak[2], as a litmus test to validate conformity and capitulation (there was no freedom of thought or expression going on). Any variances from proper uses of the continually shifting terminology (or re-invented histories and word-meanings) was classified as "thoughtcrime"[3]; which meant those perpetrators were worthy of torture and re-education.

Since the shifting history, language and truths were impossible to keep coherent, there would be contradictions between them — but acknowledging those contradiction was akin to blasphemy, so the people were taught to accept them as doublethink[4]: that two conflicting party-truths could both be correct at the same time (even if logic dictated that one must be wrong). This is taken to a climax when the antagonist party-man (O’Brien) is forcing our protagonist (Winston), under torture, to admit that 2+2=5[5], because anyone who is free to admit the truth (that 2+2=4), is not yet a worthy subject to the state. Truth is what the party tells you it is.

While the non-fictional 1984 wasn't nearly as bad as all that, for most people, the parody still had too much truth to it. I’m not as concerned about the loss of privacy (though that has happened in spades). Nor of the unification of Europe under one super-national empire. I’m more concerned with the loss of intellectual thought, and the freedom to question things without safe spaces or people trying to imprison or un-employ you for what you said or think.

In the real-world 1984, I was a liberal kid attending college part time (while working), who wanted to be active in politics. But the more they tried to convince me of "the truth", the more I researched and questioned the mistakes in their alternate reality. The more I resisted the newspeak and doublethink (and offered my research and facts back), the madder the politically-correct got. I refused their fictions, and they hated the truths. That forced me to make a choice between accepting their reality or just accepting reality — thus I was force to evolve from being a youthful “liberal” (which to them meant an intolerant, unenlightened, conformist, conservative-hating enforcer of the party-dogma du jour), to becoming a classical liberal (a free thinking, libertarian’esque, high-tolerance, anti-progressive -or- a radical centrist as I started calling myself). Even the term liberal had succumbed to newspeak and now meant the opposite of what it had meant before. A true liberal could no longer be part of their club: no soup for me.

My childhood was defined by a family that had a malleable relationship with the truth: early on I defined myself by NOT compromising truth for familial affection, better grades, or to stop the beatings, thus the milder comfort of peer pressure conformity (belonging to the clique), or scorn for defending the truth, held no power over me.

Now I’m humble enough to realize I’m probably wrong on at least a few things I believe, but I’m smart enough to know when someone else is bullshitting: dodging, distracting or attacking to bluff their way out of admitting something they don’t like. I also know that it’s highly unlikely that I’m completely wrong in ALL of my knowledge at once. So the easiest way to figure out which side is brainwashed, is to offer nuggets of information and see who can correct it, and who changes the topic, uses fallacies, or attacks me for daring to say it. How they react to data that’s new or they don’t like (or the messengers), is a reflection on who they are. That doesn’t mean they have to agree, but how they disagree is what poker players call, “a tell”[6].

Below is a small sampling of just a few of the various topics where you have a choice of believing the popular opinion that 2+2=5 (Newspeak), or you can go with 2+2=4 (Reality). And the tell is how people respond to your disagreeing with the newspeak, or pointing out the reality — if either generates venom, distraction, pedantic attacks on the spelling or irrelevancies, or anything other than contemplation (and reluctant acknowledgement) of the bigger point, then you know you’re dealing with someone that’s go something going on: more ego than honesty, more party/ideology loyalty than to the truth, or they just prefer their world to the one the rest of us have chosen to live in.

NOTES: (a) This is a living document (unlike the constitution), thus if there’s anything I haven’t thought of: offer suggestions. (b) I know there are examples that cut the other way (against far right ideology), and I might do an article on that smaller subset someday, but this is about the tidal-wave of thoughtcrimes that are enforced by the cry-bullies in social media and in our university safe-spaces (c) I realize some of these are not the most moderate beliefs, but the point is "how do they respond", and what does someone see in the Rorschach inkblot? Do the defend the radical revisionism and newspeak, or an un-moderate form of the truth? Can they accept that the tidal-wave of excrement coming from “progressives” might be agitating the resistance that the media sensationalizes? Or is all the other sides fault for wanting to be left alone, and daring to defend reality over their caricature of it?

You can decide which is real or false, but a warming, if you question others on which is which, you might discover how “tolerant” some folks really are.

  • 2019.06.16 Expelled over gender thoughtcrime - Scottish student tapes teacher kicking him out of class for the thought crime of saying, "There are only 2 genders". After the post goes viral, the student is expelled for having taped a teacher being unreasonable. A bigger crime than thought-crime is exposing thought-crime. Gofundme banned him, and won't say why.
  • Digital Kristallnacht - Under the urging of Biden administration and supporters, Social Media enacted Digital Kristallnacht: ripping through 7,000 Conservative individuals, digital businesses and communities on Social Media, breaking windows, banning, and blocking, in order to harass and ban them, all in the name of faux healing and unity.
  • Recycling - Recycling is not the panacea that some think it is, it is about teaching the gullible to follow without question, while increasing pollution, waste, taxes, and government control over our lives. That's not conspiracy, these are just facts. But still the gullible trained proles follow out of ignorance or virtue signaling as a demonstration of symbolism over substance -- they put their agenda above science.
  • Separation of Church and State - The First Amendment pretty clearly meant that there would be no single Federal Church (like the Church of England), and that the Federal Government would be forbidden from interfering with the States and communities enforcing whatever religion they wanted. What it did not mean is that there would be a clear separation of Church at the State or Local Government.

Alternate History - There are really two different histories of America -- the one that I know existed based on extensive reading and studying of history, and the one that some of my left of center friends know by repeating what they were taught in School/Universities, what they read in their version of the media, or what they really want to believe, despite all evidence to the contrary.

When I read Howard Zinn, NYT (1619), or Karl Marx's view of the world -- it sounds like an average far-left intersectional Democrat's view of the world. While it has names in common with mine, the facts have been changed to protect the guilty and convict the innocent.

Without someone having an accurate understanding of the past, they have a distorted view of the present, and no ability to understand what's coming in the future. Which explains how they can demand such ruinous things with the glee of a cult follower reaching for their glass of flavor aid. Thus our realities will only occasionally intersect, and when they do, it's usually not a great reaction. Alt-History, Left Lies • [36 items]

Alt-Economics (Leftonomics) - These are alternate-reality economics that Fake Economists (usually leftist polemics) tell each other and their base. AKA Leftonomics. Never blame on malice that which is more easily explained by incompetence. But when you are an "expert" that knows the facts and repeat the fabrications anyways? Then malice (dishonesty) is all that's left. They know better.

ℹ️

Alternate Equality - The left thinks handicapping/punishing the successful makes life more fair/equal. It doesn't.

No one is going to deny there's inequality in the world. There's just different views on what to do about it. The left believe's it can be fixed if we surrender to a totalitarian state that we redistribute everything and make it more fair. The historically informed know that's never worked out before. Replacing a sloppy meritocracy (and being able to pass your wealth to your heirs) with a politocracy, where the politicians decide who gets what, never makes it better for anyone but the political elite. Both are a plutocracy of sorts, just to climb the ladder on one requires talent, effort and luck, and in the other it requires political connections and dedication to the herd agenda.

So what kind of world do you want your kids to live in? Where there's injustices against success, based on politics (the left's utopia). Or where there's injustice based on some people being smarter, stronger or just working harder? (the right's reality) For me? I'd rather live in the real world and latter one, than any utopia created autocratic lefties, because to date, none of those have ended well for individuals. Inequality, Left Lies • [15 items]

There's real liberty, and the left's version (Alternate Liberty) - they have very little in common.

Real liberty is about arguing with people who don't do what you want, but letting them do it anyways. Telling them not to say things, or arguing against it, but letting them do it anyways. It's about championing your causes, by trying to win in public opinion, not using the tyranny of the majority (50%+1 of votes) to force laws or authority to take away their right to do it. Remember, a law/regulation/tax is the point where a bully says, "do it, or I'll have this government goon take you property, liberty or life". Alt-Liberty, Left Lies • [18 items]

  • Eighteenth Amendment - Progressive Democrats (and Women's Sufferage) drove Alcohol Prohibition (18th Amendment), and it was a disaster.
  • Eighth Amendment - Eighth Amendment says, "...nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted". 1972 the left invented that meant Capital Punishment.

  • First Amendment - The left opposes Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, or "Hate Speech" and Disinformation, which is anything they don't like.
  • Fourth Amendment - Democrats/left are so against the 2A, that they're willing to sacrifice all our other civil rights, including the 4th.
  • Gun Control - Gun Control is about people control.
  • Party of fear - The lefts two biggest tools are envy, fear, and finger pointing to distract; used to manipulate their constituents.
  • Plastic Bag Bans - Plastic Bag Bans are anti-environmentalism, anti-economics, and hurts people, and the left loves them.
  • Second Amendment - America was founded on, "Guns are liberties teeth". If government doesn't trust the public, then Government is the problem.
  • Sixth Amendment - The left supports secret hearings to strip you of your rights, based on shoddy or made-up evidence, because "guns are scary".
  • Smoking - Persecuting smoking and smokers is a modern witch hunt among the left, to the point of being anti-Science.


ℹ️

There's the real people, and the Alernate People (aka the version of people the left believes in) - There are really two different versions of people/personalities: the one that I know existed based on extensive reading and studying of that person (and sometimes not even very extensively), and the fictional person that some of my friends know by repeating what they were taught in School/Universities, by the media or social media or popular beliefs, or what they really want to believe.

Them being wrong, is fine. Nobody knows everything. (Self included). The bigger issue is how do they deal with new evidence? Do they deal with it, with excitement and curiousity and validate the points and stop repeating the lie. Or do they put ego and agenda (or popular opinion amongst their clique), above the truth and reality?

One of the biggest differences is that if your currency/idendity is built around consensus, popularity (popular opinion) and leftist/youth influences (where change/progress matters more than the lies you have to tell to get change), then they are extremely resistant to new information. That's the problem. I don't care if someone doesn't know something. But if they don't want to know something? Well then they're not a sentient (self-aware) human, they are just fool or a tool.

Without someone having an accurate understanding of the past (or people they cherish/vilify), they have a distorted view of the present, and no ability to understand what's coming in the future. They live in a different reality that can only intersect with the hostility that their ego/insecurity demands. They know the same names of people that I know, but with different histories and thus perceptions of them (some events/actions omitted, others imagined in). And if they don't welcome revision to their world view, then they are just a cult follower reaching for their glass of flavor aid. Thus our realities will only occasionally intersect, and when they do, it's usually not to anyone's benefit. They wont drink from the chalice of knowledge, and I won't gulp from their goblet of ignorance. Alt-People, Left Lies • [33 items]

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

In George Orwell's 1984 Newspeak is using the sanctioned language that meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism (Ingsoc). The idea is that if the progressive democratic socialists control the language, they can control the thoughts behind the language. So the purpose is to restrict free thought (and prevent thoughtcrime), by restricting free speech down to defining the language and defining out the improper history and facts that are not allowed. This ever shrinking vocabulary of acceptable words, is so asinine that the only people who will accept it are those participants are fully programmed until they can accept Doublethink (simultaneous opposing contradictions) like 2+2=5. If that's what the state tells you, then you speak it, because the alternative to denying their political correctness is gruesome torture.

Sadly, Orwell's writing was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual. But the far left, uses it as the latter. If it was just the annoyances of political correctness, I could roll eyes and ignore. But it is altering people's understanding of history, the present, the future. How they see their friends, family and neighbors who aren't seeing the world through their distorted lens of good = believes the left leaning media, versus bad = skeptical of fake news, or skeptical of the versions of history they were taught in indoctrination camp (e.g. schools, universities).
