The German federal state of Saxony - especially Saxony, usually known for its right tendency, but okay... - has started to completely re-write its complete legal texts, all juristic codes and official law texts. In "gender-correct" grammar.
It demands even speaking to be changed. When there is a gender star in a word, the speaker now should make a pause before continuing. A pause in the middle of the word, maybe needing to add a single letter after it, that is, so that the speaker expresses his noticing of the importance of it. At more and more universities it is already mandatory to do so. You cannot file in a paper anymore if you do not write it in gender speak, you cnanot pass your exams. This way, a small but noisy ideological minority enforces to get its will against the vast majority. By brute force. If the West turns into a mental asylum like this, then nothign should surprise us anymore, since no madness has become so unthinkable that it could not be declared to be the new "normal". Gender speak, hate speech, commanded tolerance, enforced consensus - you name it. Its all different project names for one and the same intellectual plague. Totalitarianism in the name of "progressiveness". Zero tolerance for divergent opinions! Social death for any dissenter, economical ruin and public witch hunting! There have been scholars already who seriously demanded the death penalty for deniers of wanted opinions, in Germany! The cause wants it! In battling climate change, anything goes now! Soon the first Lager of the new order will be drawn up as concepts again. All in the name of the best for mankind, of course. A representative poll some months ago showed that over half of the Germans said they are careful with what they say in public and that they think one is not allowed to express one's true opinions freely anymore. I am not certain, but the number that I seem to recall was either 56% or 65%.

^ which is of course idiotic. In lower saxony, you have to write your degree dissertation gender-correct, otherwise it will not be accepted or marked as unsatisfactory/fail. If you read this you are almost unable to understand the text between those absurd word creations.. maybe call all people "it", or "es" in german
![]() Imho they try to make up for centuries of suppression and wrongdoing, but this way is idiotic. Changing the language and words certainly changes the thinking.. It is like tearing down all monuments to make the past look better - placing some monuments in museums with a proper explanation would maybe be a solution. Or apply some enlightening texts on those statues. Removing this entirely has nothing to do with coming to terms with some ugly past. Quote:

The whole conservative "Hollywood hates us, boo hoo...
![]() ![]() Hollywood Congress of Republicans -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollyw...of_Republicans The HCR homepage: http://hollywoodrepublicans.com/about-hcr/ In the Wikipedia link above, note the list of some of the GOP members; a very good many of them don't seem to be suffering at all from the touted 'liberal bias'... The actor Gary Sinise, who also doesn't appear to be starving under liberal oppression started another Hollywood GOP/conservative group called "The Friends of Abe", but the group split apart when Trump was elected and the members couldn't agree on supporting him... Friends Of Abe -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_Abe BTW, did you know absolutely nobody knew Abraham Lincoln was a Republican until Trump revealed it... true fact... ![]() ![]() The conservative presence in Hollywood goes way back to the very beginnings of the industry; director D. W. Griffith was an arch conservative, white supremacist, and segregationist who used his 1915 film Birth Of A Nation (original title; The Clansman) to glorify the Ku Klux Klan and demean Blacks (BTW, The Birth Of A Nation also gave the KKK their current look; the KKK was a rather motley crew snd Griffith wanted a more 'cinematic' look to the film's Klan characters, so his costume designer was ordered to come up with the now infamous costumes); the early decades of Hollywood are rife with conservative memes in regard to racial, and religious intolerance; it wasn't until after WW2 that the pendulum swung back to address the more overt and odious depictions... Then there are the Cold War years when the Red Hunt was ongoing and many prominent Hollywood conservative celebrities formed this group: Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion...merican_Ideals The main purpose of the MPAPAI was to present a unified conservative front with the goal of outing alleged Communists to the McCarthy Era HUAC witch hunts... The claims by Hollywood conservatives and their non-Hollywood backers of undue suppression rings hollow when you read the listings of the individuals involved in conservative cause in Hollywood don't seem to be suffering much at all, if at all; those who have not fared so well, if you dig a bit deeper are known in the industry for other things that make them unhirable or of dubious character... Bottom line: In Hollywood Red and Blue lose out big time to Green... <O>

Did I miss something? I read the article and saw no such claim by Gervais. Quite the opposite.

Nope, you missed nothing but you made the wrong inference; I wasn't, and didn't, reference either Gervais or the article at all and was only referring to the sort of 'alligator tears' (and I'm not referencing any particular alligators... ![]() Maybe, if things are so very bad for them, they should consider polling their resources and set up their own alternative to the traditional Hollywood status quo... ![]() <O>

I found it rather funny from the beginning that Trump, while only listening to populist and rather primitive right wing outlets, accused other media of "fake news".
We have learned what Trump's "fake news" and "alternative facts" really are: Lies to discredit what is still there of halfways neutral journalism. Instead just of all the right media chime in with Trump and shed their crocodile tears of how unfair the rest of the media treats them. The loony whining right-wing snowflakes really are at it ![]()

https://www.npr.org/2014/11/13/36376...tes-come-to-be But I agree it's retarded to call the conservative "Red" states, the liberals are the more closely aligned to commies and always have been. Some day we need to flip the Red/Blue category and get it right. Quote:
There are a few conservatives in Lala land, but not many. I can think of two, Tim Allen and Bruce Willis. And even they are super cagey about what they say publicly, they have to be, it's public execution time if they step too far out of line. Yeah, they worship $Green$ but their identity is Left. Artists are almost always liberal, it comes with the territory of avoiding real work and being an artist. I'm not blaming them for wanting to act in a $200 million feature film over working in a meat packing plant or rebuilding transmissions. But that out-there lifestyle insulates them from the flyover middle America, they cannot relate. |

Putting labels on people is simply not good enough anymore. "Left?" "Right?" What does it actually mean? It means nothing. It is an oversimplification designed to set simple minds against other simple minds. I'd like to hear John McCain's opinion on this. A voice of dignity. Are there any left?

Orwell'S 1984 includes this simple truth about the relation between langauge and thinking, too. Its the reason why language gets systematically reduced and annihlated in the novel. The link is even in the neural hard-wiring. Well - of course it is. It must be. Similiar links are between thinking, and handwriting. Or thinking and tactile feedback in general, for that matter. Pupils not learning to handwrite at schools - as some "pedagogues" propose - but just typing on digital keyboards, causes havoc.
