Continuing the series: Ten ways the democratic northern hemisphere nations became the Orwellian west.
1.) Continuous War
2.) Widespread Surveillance
3.) Propaganda-Style Fake News
4.) Acceptance of Politically Correct Orthodoxies via Newspeak
5.) Dumbing Down and Doublethink
Over the past four decades, and as a result of global academia’s embrace of the Frankfort School and Fabian Socialism, the U.S. Department of Education has dumbed down a majority of Americans while vastly increasing their taxpayer-funded budgets over that time. Moreover, whereas emphasis was once placed on critical thinking, logic, classic literature, science, and math, today’s schools have instead prioritized the social sciences while cultivating into young minds attitudes of conformity and political correctness. Now universities around the world offer majors such as global studies, gender studies, and women studies, in order to prepare young people for career government jobs, positions in progressive non-profits, or to move back into their old bedrooms at Mom and Dad’s house.
This is why, in a recent Rasmussen Poll of 1,000 U.S. voters, forty-six percent favored ggovernment-guaranteedjobs for all, why a Los Angeles Antifa group hung President Donald Trump in effigy and called for revolution against the capitalist state, why millennial candidates have embraced Socialism, and why four socialist-backed candidates recently won Pennsylvania legislative primaries.
Orwell defined “doublethink” as: Quote:
the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of the them. End quote
— Emmanuel Goldstein, ”1984”: part 2, chapter 9
These people realize their utopian dreams have been tried before in history; like the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, the People’s Republic of China under Mao Tse-tung, and Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.
Even so, forward, they march.
war is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength
In the modern democratic nations of the world, what is called diversity is actually enforced as unity. In the name of tolerance, Muslim hordes are flooding through borders of the wealthy western Christian nations as oligarchical intolerance rains down upon any who dare question the catastrophic consequences of failed immigration policies. In the U.S. and most of Europe, people are condemned for any criticism of Islam.
Are the governments tolerant or intolerant? Obviously, they are both.
Recently, Donald Trump referred to violent MS-13 gang members as “animals” causing Democrat Party Leader, Nancy Pelosi, to question if the President didn’t believe that “we are all God’s children”. Evidently, Pelosi, advocates for the humanity of MS-13 gang members while touting the benefits of both Catholicism and abortion.
Furthermore, Doublethink occurs when the Party of the Klu Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws believes only they can righteously defend against racism; when Roseanne Barr is a bigot and Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt”, when informants aren’t spies, and when the Party insanely fears Trump’s America as a real-life dystopian embodiment of “The Handmaid’s Tale” while, simultaneously, marching on Washington D.C. for gun confiscation.
Even more fantastic is how special counsel, Robert Mueller, expects to convict President Trump of obstruction of justice in an investigation of which Robert Mueller says Trump is not a target.
Obviously, moral relativity and dissimulation are the hot air that gives flight to the amazing magic carpet ride of Collectivism’s Doublethink.
