Is history repeating itself – again? I was a first-hand witness of the stolen revolution that took place on the streets of Romania in 1989. The striking similarities to what happens today with the rise of the ‘thought police’, ‘woke’ brigades running wild in the new “streets” of the Internet, and censorship in the name of free speech, are difficult to ignore.
Can we afford to be ignorant in the face of such evidence?
In today’s episode, I am joined by Sahajananda J. Porslund, freelance investigative journalist with a MA in Comparative Literature. United in the moral duty to lift our perspective and look much more closely at the events of society, we discuss the reality that faces us now.
Renaming terms is a way to reshape concepts and the consciousness of the masses. What a wretchedness… I searched for some examples of this new invented so called Politically correct English:
Bald = hair disadvantaged
Failure = incomplete success
Fat = horizontally challenged
Dishonest = ethically disorientated
Lazy = motivationally deficient
Ugly = cosmetically different
A.D. (Anno Domini – Latin for Year of our Lord) = C.E. (Common Era)
My conclusion – Thus, people are funneled to a certain comfortable status and fake inclusiveness where there is no hope for confronting reality as it is and therefore no impulse for transformation. Sweet dreams our beloved sheep…
Good grief… what pretentious nonsense.
I feel people are not so nice during this time of Covid19 and with the restrictions, it really feel like we are living in a communist regime, neighbors telling on each other, if they see more gatherings than allowed. Suddenly, the idea of such restrictions have turned into something else, a need of power and control from the minds of the public. Actually this accured while I was listening to this episode of your fantastic podcast that the police came to investigate. Investigate what? This is the last place of investigation and now it’s become more of a witch hunt to address those who choose not to hurdle up in their private residenses, afraid of going outside.
I understand the uneasiness about the privacy but “witch hunt”? If the poor people accused of being witches were alive today I think they would beg to differ about the use of this term. Let’s keep the perspective.
Likewise, I think people having lived under oppressive regimes would have a say about the consequences of reporting breaking for instance quarantine.
Unless of course, you happen to see people being taken to camps, disappearing etc.
