Introduction

Transgenderism can be seen as a politically correct ideology along with feminism, anti-racism and the others. The main things it has in common with them are a hatred and denial of nature and an impertinent urge to overcome it.

Feminism against nature

Feminists’ hatred and denial of nature are seen in their refusal to accept that the sexes are simply different. On the contrary, they say, they are essentially the same. Anything a man can do, a woman can, and so on. They back this up not by pointing to facts but with a taboo against saying the opposite. Like the exponents of every politically correct ideology, they have a special attack word for dissenters. In fact, they have two. Should you have the temerity to ignore the taboo, you will be called a sexist or a misogynist.

For some reason these techniques persuade many that what feminists say is true. Equally importantly, they silence those who are not persuaded, leaving feminists a clear field.

With no dissent to be heard, feminists proceed to ask why the sexes are in different circumstances. Why are women rarely found in leadership positions, they wonder, when the idea that men are more likely to compete for such positions and more suited to them is just a myth? Men must be keeping women down.

Feminists reason that to undo this injustice society must be reshaped to look as it would have done had they been correct, with women in half of all leadership positions. If the principle of equal treatment must be disregarded to achieve this, so be it. Thus, having denied nature, they seek to overcome it, or to give the appearance of having overcome it, at no matter what cost to society.

But then, having filled half the leadership positions in a certain field with women, they ask themselves why they should stop there. Why leave the other half to the oppressor? So they carry on, resulting in a fact such as that in 2018 almost every top position concerning the British police was occupied by a woman. This included London’s senior officer (Cressida Dick), the Director General of the National Crime Agency (Lynne Owens), the head of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (Sarah Thornton), the chair of the College of Policing (Shirley Pearce), the president of the Police Superintendents Association (Irene Curtis) and the chair of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (Anne Owers).[1]The Director of Public Prosecutions was also a woman: Alison Saunders, who was found to have been suppressing evidence of men’s innocence in rape cases.

About the only exceptions were the chief constables outside London, of whom by 2020 still only two out of 46 were female. Yet just eighteen months later there were fifteen female chief constables.[2]History Debunked, July 8th 2021, “Women in command; female leaders in the police and army”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i6pBj6dYMw. Including Wales, after another six months there were 19 out 49 (Telegraph, Jan. 9th 2023, “Record 40 per cent of chief constables are now women amid anti-misogyny drive”, https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/01/09/record-4...ogyny/ ). It is surprising even that as many as thirteen chief constables retired in so short a period. For them all to have been succeeded by women was proof indeed that women can not only do anything men can do but are likely to be able to do it considerably better. Or perhaps it just proved that if no man is on the shortlist, a woman will get the job.

Anti-racism against nature

Anti-racism proceeds just like feminism except that this time it is the races that are supposedly the same. The doctrine of essential racial equality might not appear to be true, but we must assent to it for it too is protected by a taboo. Point to a difference between the races, however evident, and anti-racism’s attack word will be attached to you: you will be called a racist. Again, with any dissent from its basic proposition stifled, we are asked to explain the fact that the races are in different circumstances, the only available explanation being that Whites have been oppressing Blacks. And again, the solution is not the removal of the discrimination but its reversal. Blacks must be favoured over Whites.

Thus feminism and anti-racism use the same playbook. They both employ the idea of essential equality to deny nature before seeking to reshape it to fit their Procrustean bed. Is it too tall? Chop its feet off! Too short? Put it on the rack!

Transgenderism against nature

That transgenderism hates nature and refuses to submit to it is obvious. It finds the most basic fact of life — that nature makes us male or female — too much to bear. What if I didn’t want to be male? Did nature think of that? It is time it learned that if I choose to become a woman I will jolly well do it.

How? Well, first I am going to adopt a philosophy that tells me that whatever I say is true: the philosophy of word magic. I will call myself a woman, which will make me one. Just in case, I will then embark on a lifelong course of cross-sex hormones and undergo innumerable surgical procedures that will make me resemble a woman or at least make me look a lot more like one than I do now.

What is more, I will get my medical insurance to pay for all this on the basis that my dissatisfaction with my sex is a psychiatric condition. At the same time, I will insist that I have no psychiatric condition but am simply an example of normal human variation. Then everyone will see that I am as much a woman as any woman and that there is nothing wrong with me. It was nature that got it wrong. As I might put it: “I was born with the wrong genitals. … I had a birth defect that I got sorted with surgery and medication”.[3]This was a man calling himself Bethany Black in conversation with Helen Lewis (New Statesman, Sept. 13th 2013, “What makes you a man or a woman anyway?” https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2013/...anyway ). How incompetent of nature to give me that birth defect! How wrong nature was if it didn’t think I could get it sorted with surgery and medication! It must be feeling pretty silly now.

Punishments for thinkers

No politically correct ideology can tolerate considered thought, as we see in the case of transgenderism in some events from the last few years. In 2019 the contract of a woman named Maya Forstater was not renewed after she tweeted that “transgender women” were men.[4]Maya Forstater made her comments, not while at work, during a discussion of possible reforms to the Gender Recognition Act. When she contested what was in effect her sacking, the judge ruled against her, finding that her opinion was not compatible with human dignity.[5]Her appeal, heard in 2021, found that her position was “worthy of respect in a democratic society”.

In the midst of this, J.K. Rowling spoke up for her, saying that biological sex existed. For this she received a “barrage of criticism”, yet she refused to apologise, said the news outlet RT in wonderment.[6]RT. Jun 7th 2020. “‘There used to be a word for people who menstruate’: JK Rowling gets denounced as transphobe AGAIN”. https://www.rt.com/news/491077-rowling-trans-women-row/ . Six months later she mocked an NGO for using the phrase “people who menstruate”, asking whether there had not once been a single word for such people, which she seemed to remember had begun with “w”. This brought another “avalanche” of denunciation down on her, with someone tweeting that her words were “causing unimaginable pain”. Well, of course they were! How can a transgender person be expected to encounter a cryptic reference to the word “woman” without suffering unimaginable pain? Another commenter called J.K. Rowling a hate-filled weirdo.

In October 2021 Cambridge University’s Students Union issued a guide to spotting “Terfs”, these being feminists who think that there are two sexes and that one cannot switch from one to the other.[7]Telegraph, Oct. 13th 2021, “Cambridge University ‘Terf-spotting’ guide condemned as a ‘witch-finder’s charter’”, reproduced at https://ovarit.com/o/GenderCritical/45570/cambridge-...harter . Predictably, the guide indulged in projection, referring to “Terf ideology” as though it were the views of Terfs that were ideological rather than its own. It stated that Terfs had a “deep hatred for trans women”, when it was the guide that was spreading hatred, of Terfs. It alleged that Terfs had links to the far right, when there is nothing political about their position, in contrast to the far-left position of the guide.[8]MailOnline, “Cambridge Students’ Union publishes pro-trans guide claiming that being a woman is not just down to ‘biological sex’ — and accuses feminists opposing such views as being linked to ‘far right’”, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10087849/Ca...x.html .

The same week, activists at Sussex University launched a campaign to get a philosophy professor fired. Kathleen Stock had asked whether a person’s gender identity could have more social significance than their sex and had doubted whether men should be allowed in women’s changing rooms. Students put up posters saying “IT’S NOT A DEBATE. IT’S NOT FEMINISM. … IT’S JUST TRANSPHOBIA … FIRE KATHLEEN STOCK.” She received death threats and was advised not to go on campus without bodyguards. Her union offered her no support but expressed “solidarity” with “trans and nonbinary communities”. Two weeks later she resigned.

What was noticeable about her defenders was their feebleness. The commentator Paul Embery said that she had merely defended the principle of biological sex and women’s right to single-sex spaces. Women’s concerns about having men in their changing rooms were perfectly legitimate. Transgender activists were trying to get everyone to take their view, he said. But biological sex is not a principle to which one might adhere or not; it is a basic fact of life, and women’s right to women-only changing rooms should be beyond dispute. Instead of saying that transgender activists were trying to get others to take their view, as though it were a view that could deserve respect, Paul Embery should have said that they were trying to get people to affirm a lie.[9]GB News, Oct. 17th 2021, “Kathleen Stock: Paul Embery says abuse of academic after alleged ‘transphobic’ remark is ‘appalling’”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY4b1atncaY. A philosopher named Arif Ahmed stated that Kathleen Stock’s persecution was making it impossible for “one side of a very important public policy debate” to speak. Apparently we had reached the point where the efforts of men to get into women’s changing rooms counted as a contribution to an important debate.

Transgender language rules

No PC ideology can leave the language alone, for unless interfered with, it has a way of reflecting reality. A previous article gave some examples of linguistic engineering aimed at abolishing sex–related words and the associated concepts with them. To give a few more examples, in 2023 Oxfam published an Inclusive Language Guide that illustrated its “commitment to gender justice”, defined as “full equality between women and men (including trans men and women) as well as non-binary people”.[10]For an overview of the guide, see Oxfam, March 2023, “Inclusive Language Guide”, https://policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/inclusiv...21487/ . For the guide itself see https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/h...ence=4 .

According to the guide, we must not speak of husbands or wives but must call them partners or spouses, nor must we use the words “mother” or “father”, which would assume “the adoption of gendered roles by transgender parents”. We must be aware that patriarchal systems perpetuate sexist and hierarchical power relations and legitimise “discrimination against and exclusion of women and gender non-conforming people”. Moreover, we must be aware that the word “people” itself, although it might not seem to specify a sex, can still express a bias because “in the context of a world based on patriarchal systems, ‘people’ is often misunderstood as only referring to men”. If we must talk about “people”, therefore, we should do it in a way that makes the word “as inclusive as possible”.

When it comes to personal pronouns, the guide tells us not to assume that it is correct to “describe someone as ‘he’ or ‘she’ based on their name or physical appearance”. The person might prefer to be called “they” or “ze”.

Like the British Medical Association (referred to in the previous article), Oxfam advises against using the term “expectant mother”. Not only does the expression “reinforce gender stereotypes”; the woman might not wish to continue her pregnancy. It does allow that pregnant people are women, however, although if we stress this fact we might be excluding “gender non-binary, trans men, or gender non-conforming people”.

The words “transgendered” and “transsexual” must be avoided in case someone referred to in this way doesn’t like it. “In a society that upholds the human rights to equality, freedom of expression, privacy and self-determination, we must respect how people wish to be referred to.” We must take an approach that “actively includes transgender people”. Ideally, “a trans-inclusive approach will identify the ways that trans people are specifically impacted by discrimination”. Presumably, then, rather than calling transgender people transgender, we should call them victims of discrimination in various ways that we will proceed to specify, who might be mistakenly referred to as transgender by the unenlightened.

Transgenderism against science

From the postmodern philosophy that gives it its belief in word magic, transgenderism also gets its belief in the priority of subjectivity over objectivity. But since it exists in a society that values science, it must do as other politically correct ideologies do and pretend that its dogmas are scientific, as when claiming that the evidence “strongly suggests” that gender identity is “usually established … by the age of two to three”;[11]Ryan T. Anderson, 2019 (2018), When Harry Became Sally, New York: Encounter Books. 2019, ibid., pp. 32-33.
(For an overview of the guide, see Oxfam, March 2023, “Inclusive Language Guide”, https://policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/inclusiv...21487/ . For the guide itself see https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/h...ence=4 .)
that “the expression of transgender identity … is a healthy, appropriate and typical aspect of human development”;[12]Ryan Anderson 2019, ibid., p. 38.
(For an overview of the guide, see Oxfam, March 2023, “Inclusive Language Guide”, https://policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/inclusiv...21487/ . For the guide itself see https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/h...ence=4 .)
or that “From a medical perspective, the appropriate determinant of sex is gender identity”. The last comment was made by a professor at Duke University School of Medicine, who meant that the best way for a doctor to establish a person’s sex is by asking them. “It is counter to medical science”, she continued, “to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female”.[13]Ryan Anderson 2019, ibid., p. 30.
(For an overview of the guide, see Oxfam, March 2023, “Inclusive Language Guide”, https://policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/inclusiv...21487/ . For the guide itself see https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/h...ence=4 .)

Of course, deception itself is characteristic of political correctness, on which subject it might be worth pointing out that a politically correct statement is necessarily untrue. This is because true statements, meaning empirically correct ones, can look after themselves. Only statements that are empirically incorrect need to be made correct politically.

Transgenderism and childism

A little-mentioned ideology of political correctness is childism, which transgenderism does not so much resemble as incorporate. Childism inverts the natural order by transferring the authority of adults to children, as seen one day in 1998 when BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour looked at the question of what to do with the children in the summer holidays. It didn’t ask parents for their ideas but asked a panel of children. Already in the 1970s Kahlil Gibran’s book The Prophet (1923) was popular, mainly for its advice to parents: “You may strive to be like [your children], but seek not to make them like you”. This gave rise to the idea that adults have more to learn from children than children have to learn from adults.

The children’s author Cressida Cowell expressed her childism when she wrote in 2020 that children “are the most creative people in the world”, raising the question of why Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel when he could have got a better result by commissioning a child. Cressida Cowell hoped that children’s “magical powers of creativity, intelligence and empathy” would make them “come up with solutions to the political and scientific challenges facing the world” — not as adults, mark you, when they would have lost their magical powers, but now, as children.

But childism had reached its apogee the year before, when an assembly of world leaders asked a child to tell them what to do. This was at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York, which Greta Thunberg, aged sixteen, was invited to address. Rising to her role as leader of leaders, the pigtailed adolescent expressed her advice by asking her audience how they dared to do this or that.

The natural complement of treating children like adults is to treat adults like children. This is the essence of “dumbing down”, which first appeared in the 1990s. Many adults responded by starting not only to talk and think like children but also to dress like them, going about in track suits that resembled romper suits. The infantilisation of adults has continued ever since.

Transgenderism incorporates childism by telling teachers not to talk to transgender children but to listen to them, and not to lead them but to follow. Thus in 2014, East Sussex County Council Children’s Services issued the following guidance to teachers: “Listen to the [transgender] child … and wherever possible follow their lead and preferences”.[14]East Sussex County Council Children’s Services, Oct. 2014, “Trans* Inclusion Schools Toolkit”, https://czone.eastsussex.gov.uk/media/2480/trans-too...it.pdf (file no longer there). Similarly, an American campaigning organisation says that “the most important thing we can do is listen to what our [transgender] children are telling us”.[15]PFLAG, quoted by Ryan Anderson 2019, op. cit., p. 35. Adults should learn from children, thinks Diane Ehrensaft, director of mental health at the Child and Adolescent Gender Center at Benioff Children’s Hospital at the University of California, San Francisco. Children are “our best teachers”.[16]Quoted by Ryan Anderson 2019, ibid., pp 35-36.
(PFLAG, quoted by Ryan Anderson 2019, op. cit., p. 35.)
The logical conclusion of this will see groups of grown-ups filing into the classroom to be instructed by infants wearing mortarboards.

Transgenderism requires doctors to accept not only a transgender child’s self-diagnosis but also its prescribed course of treatment. Medical professionals do as they are told for fear of their patients declaring themselves unsatisfied with the service they have received or accusing them of “transphobia”.[17]The Heritage Foundation, March 28th 2019, “The Medical Harms of Hormonal and Surgical Interventions for Gender Dysphoric Children”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnP_WoeNuwA.

Conclusion

If one views political correctness as a collection of ideologies, then transgenderism is just one of these. All tend to the destruction of our societies and culture; most pit themselves against nature. This suggests that their originators are conducting a war against God, for to say that something is as it is by nature is only to say that that is the way God made it. The rebels’ chosen battlefield is the West, where political correctness is mainly found. White people are their particular enemies on earth. If they can defeat us here, they will take themselves to have defeated God. At least, that is one way of looking at the situation.

    Granny Yiddell (bitter retiree) – My husband of 41 years, Solomon, left me for a Filipina he met over the internet and gave all our money to IT. I just recently found out that IT was born a man. Thank Goodness that Solly died when visiting his “family” over there. Food poisoning from pork.

    Mother (righteous mother) – My son is 100% man. Sure he’s a shut-in but he’s no homo.

    Father O’Hair (wannabe priest) – My rigid piety doesn’t accept fake ladies. The real thing only and I don’t mean Coke.

    Jabber (shy shut-in) – Who would want to be a woman? They’re never happy – look at Mother.

    Bozero (Latino clown) – I can twist a balloon to be a man or woman. Why can’t these weirdos just enjoy latex? A lot cheaper and it doesn’t require a doctor. I don’t trust doctors – freaks that became doctors so they could see people without clothes and pretend it’s professional.

    Fiona (park fun lady) – Why would a woman want a p#$&s? You can stay a real woman and provide fun to female friends with a simple massager. You know the pointy sort advertised in ladies magazines with the model using it on her back pain only. BTW, Mother has been complaining of lower, lower back pain recently.

  3. In reality, the anti-biblical idea of glorifying homosexuality arose as a political necessity in the West because if more could not be spent on social benefits, at least if something could be granted that would not affect profits; And so it was decided that everyone could do whatever they wanted with his body, giving free rein to the homosexual reign.
    It was said that homosexual marriages would be more solvent for having two salaries and not the burden of children; and by simple logic, if people have more, they live better and if they do what they like best, then they would be satisfied with their destiny and social problems would disappear.
    This is how the matter was handled in the media two decades ago. That is why the spread of homosexuality became a prioritized Western political task.

  4. The rebels’ chosen battlefield is the West, where political correctness is mainly found.

    There is plenty of “political correctness” in Asia, just applied to different issues. That’s where the term came from, isn’t it? (You might say Lenin started it, but look at those eyelids.)

    What we’re seeing is a hybrid of Maoism and Gramsci.

  5. A feminist like j.k.rowling insisting “biological sexes exist” is one of the most ironic joke of all time. feminism is a form of transgenderism, and now you object it because it undermines your privileges? LOL, I’m all for trannies against the so-called ‘terfs’. Let the trannies just genocide the ‘terfs’. 以夷制夷.

  6. black dog says:

    It’s significant that TERFS are called “radical” in that they opposite the notion that men can be women. What’s radical about that? Yet they seem happy enough with the term.

  7. Equally importantly, they silence those who are not persuaded, leaving feminists a clear field.

    They haven’t silenced the Babylon Bee. Will YouTube ban them again?

  9. I think it’s hilarious how feminists like J.K Rowling fear, loathe, and fight against transgenders. Feminists wanted “equality,” and now they’re getting it, good and hard. I have no sympathy for feminists being abused by mentally ill trannies; they brought this on themselves.

    Feminism and trannies are not sustainable. These ideologies are destroying our civilization. The only solution is returning to the natural order of the patriarchy. It will happen, sooner than most people think.

    PC and woke are soft terms. All of this stuff is Neo-Marxism. It flows from the Frankfurt School and more specifically in the United States, Herbert Marcuse. Yes, they were all communist Jews as you would expect. The final goal is communism which America is well on the way to. They and their ideology are pure evil. You want to remove it from our culture? Good luck because it will take a Hitler type effort to do so at this point.

  14. eah says:

    I’m not sure I would go so far as to call it an ‘ideology’ — but believing in the concept of malleable gender, as opposed to fixed biological sex, and that a person can change gender, is today definitely being used as a kind of Gesinnungstest.

  15. XXSupply and Demand [AKA "SuppIy and Demand"] says:

    If all the nigras were adopting this whole gay/tranny thing, it would be beautiful. A couple generations and they would disappear. The whites adopting it are either mentally ill or just trendy feather brains, and our gene pool is better without them.

  16. anonymous[139] • Disclaimer says:

    Trannies themselves are all about exhibitionism and their twisted fetishes. They have no ideology or real politics. They are being used as a battering ram against society, normalcy, tradition, religion. Getting people to knuckle under and forcing them to state that men can be women is like forcing people to state that 2+2=5. The mental degradation is complete, the population has been broken in like a horse.It’s part of the mind control of the population, to get them to say and do whatever is wanted of them. Most proponents of all this, feminists and other ideologues, are heard from because they have a mass media platform which are owned by the billionaire class and are on their payroll. It’s all a top-down social engineering project. There’s never been any grass-roots groundswell demand for any of this, it’s being imposed.

    I agree with the basic message, but I would call it “Leftist” instead of “PC”.

    The word is meaningless and too fluid. It’s all totalitarian, centralized command and control. Just use “authoritarian” and/or “totalitarian”. Government AND corporate, private companies are interchangeable and in league with each other.

Equally importantly, they silence those who are not persuaded, leaving feminists a clear field.” The key to defeating this Feminist Dogma is to completely ignore the name calling.

Why does NO ONE in the MSM question the Feminist method of labeling someone they disagree with as ‘Sexist’ or ‘Misogynist’? Defeating the Feminist “PC” is to attack them regardless of the labels the Feminists use. MAKE the Feminists supporters in the MSM show their biases.

    The underlying motivation for ‘Transgenders’–and the whole LGBTQ+ movement for that matter is a deep, venomous HATRED for Heterosexuals. This explains why transgenders want to play in Women’s Sports. It explains why LGBTQ+ wants to go into grade schools and preach their “values”. They create “facts” out of thin air such as their belief that there are no real differences between Men and Women. And here the Feminists and their Fellow Travellers the LGBTQ+ movement have a serious problem. Because there ARE differences between Men and Women the most obvious being their physical differences. Deep down inside, the Feminazis KNOW this to be true. So they MUST deny Reality–which they do.

    There is a noticeable difference. Authoritarians just want complete political power, and f### what the citizens think. Totalitarians want complete control over everything- what every citizen does day to day, even down to what they think.

    The US seems to be in a transition from A to T. It started long before I was born with all the agitprop in the lickspittle media corpos. I look at entertainment from before I was born (1990), and the messages are obvious: Marriage is hell. Having children is horrible. Being smart is unattractive and undesirable. Being a functional adult is square and stuffy. Patriotism is the domain of inbred hicks and incels.

    Fortunately, I grew up in a happy (and politically active) family who knew how to counteract it all, and I’m now happily married and pregger with my fourth child.

Mass immigration, globalization, financialization, foreign policy fiascos and more are downplayed while the bullshit stuff is endlessly talked about.

    Anyway, apparently the bitch complained to the manager that I was “harassing” her, so that was brought to my attention.

    The same thing at work. I worked with female colleagues and more than once criticizing them lead to management complaints.

    Imagine if I would complain every time a guy criticized me at work, or even if some faggot tried to hit on me. Who cares!

    But women, on one hand, they are such delicate flowers that they can’t even withstand any criticism (or even unwanted attention), but on the other hand, “they are the same and men and can do anything that men do” (and that’s not even mentioning the physical part of course).

One aspect of this catastrophe in my opinion, is the manner in which the ‘Left’, having surrendered ideologically to the Right, as we see in the Blair/Hawke/Keating/Starmer ongoing fiascos, and the brutal destruction of the Corbyn insurgency, have turned to Woke ideologies, themselves perversions of true feminism, anti-racism and other ‘radical’ causes. For grown female human beings to support the INTENSELY misogynistic ‘trans’ insanity, with the usual 100% Groupthink, is truly mass insanity, a ‘psychic epidemic’, in action.
    Of course some of them are motivated by compassion, cynically manipulated by the transhumanist, paedophile and crude medical pecuniary interests (plus others)behind the lunacy, but have not the intelligence to comprehend the madness of their position, or the bravery to stand up to a mad, braying, mob. It is, I think definitively, the end of the ‘liberal’, ‘progressive’, ‘social democrat’ nonsense, and we see it as well, in the liberal fascist antics of ‘Green’ politicians in the West, particularly Germany. At root, I believe, is the rejection of any class or true economic analysis or understanding, which leaves the field open for dullards who are easily manipulated by the true powers that be. The UK is a very sorry example of where this ends, if not in thermo-nuclear war to protect the sub-fascist Banderite regime in The Ukraine.
    There Starmer, the Jewish elite’s anti-Corbyn, and the Blairite thugs in the Labour Party, stand for NOTHING but extirpating the vast Left majority in the party membership, and serving the true rulers of the UK, the rich owners of society. ‘Liberal democracy’ is not just dead, but buried in concrete.
    Starmer lies like a lawyer, reneges on ‘promise’ after promise, even puny climate destabilisation remedies, and now brags of being prepared to rule as, more or less, another Tory regime. Anthropogenic climate destabilisation and the global ecological collapse will put an end to all this sad, sorry, palaver, but we will be going into that good night ‘led’ by creatures so loathsome as to be beyond parody.

    One hundred and eighty percent arse-about. The ‘progressive’ reaction is against the Left, not of the Left. The Wokeists are all financed by RICH men and women, and the intention is to divert people from politics, class analysis and economic understanding, to meaningless, and futile campaigns over symptoms of elite rule, not that root pathology itself.
    It is quintessentially a ‘divide and rule’ tactic, pitting middle-class meanswells against other middle-class and working class people who ought to be their allies, but who are anathematised because they see child surgical and hormonal abuse as anything but ‘gender affirming care’. Scratch a ‘progressive’ and you’ll find a liberal fascist, drooling to sell out for filthy lucre at the first opportunity.

  54. @Marielle Redclaw

    Hello Marielle,
    You are quite correct. Authoritarianism is simply top down forced, impressed, and imposed behavior from the top of a government. It is a manifestation of fear of negative consequences and/or an acceptance for some reason, rational or irrational. It inherently has little to do with a person’s belief system or value structure.

    Totalitarianism is quite different. The authority and expounder of this phenomenon is Professor Mattias Desmet from Belgium.

    https://rumble.com/v1q9xdk-from-the-horses-mouth-understanding-mass-formation-psychosis-i-interviewed-.html

    Totalitarianism involves Mass Formation Hypnosis/Psychosis/Delusion. It is dysfunction adaption by the individual with the collective grouping of society that shares his belief. Similar to the True Believer, the individual has so much unresolved and overwhelming anxiety that he subsumes, submerges himself in the hive, collective, or “Borg” in extreme but common cases. At this p[oint, not matter the IQ or education level, he is beyond rational, empirical argument or considerations. Metaphorically, it is an adult fetal position with a pacifier.

    An example by Kunstler of his former “friends”-all “liberals” highlights this.

    By happenstance lately, out and about, I met up with several old friends and attempted to check-in with where they stood on these matters — how are things going in our country? The phrase our country seemed to make their heads snap back a little and their eyes goggle. Their answer, uniformly, was “Trump, Trump, Trump,” issued as a sort of barking. Trump’s criminal insults to democracy must be stopped, was the drift.

    My next question was: How’s “Joe Biden” doing? (They didn’t see the quote marks, and I didn’t use my fingers to signify.) “He’s doing pretty well… accomplished a lot,” they said. What’d they make of the developing bribery scandal? “Huh… the what?” Raking in all that money from foreign governments when Joe was Veep, and then after. “Oh… right-wing talking points… baseless….”

    This is what my old friends think. Quite a few of them are aware that I write this blog. They don’t actually read it; they seem to just hear about it. The old community of Boomer friends thinks I’ve “gone off the deep end.” One thing these encounters taught me is how successful the censorship and propaganda campaign of the Blob has been. These were people, you understand, who came of age believing in free speech, freedom of the press, respecting civil rights, decrying political persecutions, and, most of all, being against hegemonic wars — which, back in the sixties, was called imperialism.

    These days they’re all for a righteous defense against misinformation that threatens our democracy, meaning: censorship. They wouldn’t call it that, exactly. They consider it a battle against right-wing extremism, white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, the usual bugbears. It never occurs to them that the Blob lies to them continually, remorselessly, promiscuously about everything.

    They apparently believe what comes out of CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, et cetera. They were told to go get vaxxed. They went and got vaxxed. Some are not looking too good. They don’t seem to know that the vast machinery of public health in our country has been marshaled to do them harm, that the people running that machinery were well-aware that their vaccines did not get properly tested, and the little testing that was done did not turn out very well. Those agencies lied about it and worked strenuously to prevent the duped and vaxxed-up public from learning what had been done to them.

    What we’ve got, then, this Fourth of July holiday, 2023, is basically the pro-Blob Americans against the anti-Blob Americans. It’s a vicious conflict with no sign of resolution. No amount of factual disclosure — no Durham report, no fruitless Mueller report, not any number of whistleblowers, no alt news — can persuade the pro-Blobbers that their beloved Blob lies and deceives. And no degree of coercion or punishment will convince the anti-Blobbers to fall into line and just do what they’re told. I think my old friends are insane, and they think the same about me.

    I believe you and Joe Levantine might find the following to your liking. A true kindred spirit for those of us who demand our thoughts be our own with no adulteration or concession:

  59. Richard Knight: “Transgenderism against science”

    Here Knight twists the truth out of any contact with reality.

    It’s science that is enabling transgenderism, at least in its modern form. Without science, there’d be no knowledge of sex hormones, which are of paramount importance in making the change of sex look convincing. There’s also a great deal of sophisticated science that’s behind the various surgeries that aid in producing such counterfeit people. All this makes it entirely fair to say that transgenderism, as a modern phenomenon, would never have come into existence at all without science.

    Richard Knight: “Transgenderism can be seen as a politically correct ideology along with feminism, anti-racism and the others. The main things it has in common with them are a hatred and denial of nature and an impertinent urge to overcome it.”

    There is indeed a link between feminism and transgenderism, although of course Knight’s own ideological preconceptions get in the way of him seeing it. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of the 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is usually included on a list of early feminists. As everyone knows, the story revolves around the efforts of a scientist named Victor Frankenstein to create life by stitching together parts of corpses, and infusing the result with electrical fire. He does this not out of hatred and denial of nature, but as an expression of admiration for it. The creature he creates could as easily have been female as male, obviously, which suggests that in a world in which science predominates, sex is changeable; merely a matter of which body parts are chosen. It’s a point of interest and perhaps not entirely a coincidence that the first of the Frankenstein movies came out in 1931, the same year that Lili Elbe received a womb transplant and vaginoplasty in a gender reassignment surgery at the Hirschfeld clinic.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lili_Elbe

    Like the creature created by Victor Frankenstein, today’s transsexuals evoke the same mixture of horror, fascination, and fear among many in the general populace. Like the creature, as we have seen in recent news reports, sometimes they run amok and murder their persecutors. Is it a case of life imitating art? Or the reverse?

    Richard Knight: “If one views political correctness as a collection of ideologies, … their originators are conducting a war against God, for to say that something is as it is by nature is only to say that that is the way God made it.”

    The way God made it, or Frankenstein?
