Default The world has gone nuts

Spending the day reading the on line news when I came across this...

Quote:
Canada changes lyrics of its national anthem to become gender neutral

Canada has voted to change the lyrics of its national anthem to remove gendered language following claims it is discriminatory.

The country’s Senate passed a bill ruling that the line ‘in all thy sons command’ will be replaced by ‘in all of us command’ in O Canada.

OK, I'm a middle aged fart stuck in my ways but I grew up with the knowledge there are two sexes on this planet. And now this, what ever it is sneaking up and.....OH.

They can change the words to what ever they want....but they can't make you sing them.

Gender lunacy is very much en vogue in these perverted times, as is fashismo-feminism, ultra-radical homo-sexualisation, an explosion of gender-identities and whats more...

http://www.dw.com/en/poem-on-berlin-...ate/a-40384180

^It has meanwhile been decided that the poem will be wiped off the wall.

When I first hinted in this forum at the events caused by radical feminism's brutal egoism with political lobby that it represents, the hate on masculinity and masucline virtues and qualities, the ridiculing and supressing of male traits, most people here were just laughing, at best just shrudded shoulders. That was years ago. I think nobody is laughing now anymore. The madness has gone epidemic since long, and the patients are partying in the streets. Everybody can see how far it already has degenerated - if only he opens his eyes and is willing to see things as they are, not like he hopes by his memories they still would be.

I recently linked to van Crefeld's full broadside against the effects of this drama in the military, and how it weakens and erodes Wetsenr armies and Western combat efficiency.

Genderism also a frontal assault on the functionality and reputation of scientific research - which, I give it that, in itself also is very much corrupted these days. - (But that speaks against corruption, not against scientific methodology, and regarding the latter, confidence-tricking "gender-studies" compare to scientific work like astrology compares to physics.) - I have read quite some material about this bull in the past couple of years. And it all was crap, crap, crap, and then just more crap, by 90% and more unsupprtable claims by scientiufic recearch, and most of the time it was just a pitiful display of complete and utter incompetence in handling and managing scientific methodology and statistic analysis. Often this abuse is opportunistically wanted. Everybody who ever got taught even just basics in statistics and scientific research methodology should feel ashamed if he agrees to call this crap "science". Its that as much as creationism is science.

"Bügerinnern und Bürger". "Wählerinnen und Wähler". German political correctness that has become mainstream in past years. "Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer".

On EU level, they also want to annihilate "mothers" and fathers". "Parent 1" and "parent 2" shall become the new official formula, and both titles should also not be linked to one and the same parent all the time, but "parents" shall agree to have turns on sometimes labelling the one as parent 1, sometimes the other, so to no parent shall be placed on "1" always, all the time. That would be a discrimination of the other being called "2".

And worse, in German, "parents" (plural) is "Eltern", German knows no singular form of this word, its always plural. The article for it would be "die", indicating plural again: "die Eltern" (the parents). It is suggested and planned that in German-speaking parts of the EU, national official language should not only annihilate "der Vater" (the father, male article), and "die Mutter" (the mother, female article), but that "die Eltern" (the parents, plural article) should be replaced with "das Elter 1" (singular, without "n", indicating neutral article that avoids plural, male and female articles alltogether), and "das Elter 2" - whereas both adult people (if they are people indeed, I started to get my doubts on whether humans actually still are seen as humans while actually they maybe have been turned into "its" - "it" in plural - meanwhile) should be indicated by any of the two titles in changing turns.

Geroge Orwell, anyone? Language control is one of the best instruments to enslave people and limit the mind, it directly affects the way we think. If you want to limit thinking, limit the language. If you want to manipulate thinking, manipulate language. "1984" has quite some shots at that direction. They are true.

I could get sick from these inhumane bastards' crime against humanity. That I know they are not evil by birth, but simply dumb like a wooden bloke, stupid, empty in their skulls and completely amiss of a functioning mind worth the name, does not make it better, nor does it ease my anger. They break everything that is of beauty, value and truth in this world, and they will not stop until they have it all destroyed. When feminists flock together with ultra-orthodox Muslimas defending the veil, and say they fight for the women'S right to decide in favour of it and Islam is an expression of true feminism, and the mass media report about it and applaude it, then you know how deep in the sh!t it all is.

Thats why I mock von der Leyen as "ministress" of defence. There aint no such thing like a "minjustress", and she certainly knows nothing about defence. But about how to behave like a princess.

Von Bieninnen und Blüminnen: sorry, english subtitle translation in this video works like a mess, so you better crash-learn German for watching this . Actually the English translation ruins the point by completely mistranslating it (there are no English words for "Störchin", "Bienin" and "Blümin", since these words do not even exist in German...).

Here in the US (maybe it's State by State) we can be whatever we want when we wake up; male, female, bi, tri, whatever.

I don't like it but will keep my mouth shut as I continue to wake up happily still a male, and just secretly shake my head.

Maybe this phenomenon can be traced back to the 1960's, and if so I apologize on behalf of my generation. Free love was nice and all, but we really weren't thinking of today's future mutant generations in the 2017, 2018's...

Wonderful answer please send that to all those odd balls.

I just recalled reading about gender neutral clothing the other week. I'm finding this some what crazy.

Depending on your recognition level in society and your profile in the media, such a reply could lead to witch hunts these days that could crush the fundament of your professional existence, and can socially isolate you from those you once lived together with. Or believed you did.

That far it already has come. You will not get burned at the stake. But you will be silenced, isolated, ignored, c harcter-assassinated, defamed, and turned into a living dead, socially.

Tocqueville wrote this in another context, adressing another topic, but the base mechanism is the same:

"The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you. For if you seek the votes of your fellow citizens, they will withhold them, and if you seek only their esteem, they will feign to refuse even that. You will remain among men, but you will forfeit your rights to humanity. When you approach your fellow creatures, they will shun you as one who is impure. And even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they, too, be shunned in turn.Go in peace, I will not take your life, but the life I leave you with is worse than death.”

This could as well have been written by Orwell. It happens today, regularly, it is common practice nowadays. Its the reality of the mental asylum I need to live in.

No-one's about to crush my professional existence... I am a British Citizen and most of us are of the same mind: if somebody wags a finger at us then we bloody well bite it off!

I don't think this is a big thing.
