I have no idea how this information-age techno-attack on free speech is going to end, but I know where I am probably headed. I first became aware that something was amiss back in the early 1990’s when a local bar I used to frequent with coworkers before going home was staffed by local college girls bartending and waiting tables.
I witnessed thirty years ago that language was changing. I noticed that the word “challenged” was being liberally used to describe all sorts of things. Mentally challenged, socially challenged, culturally challenged, educationally challenged-everyone and everything was suddenly “challenged” in some way. These kids that are now middle-aged were not being prepared to make their way in the world to be productive citizens, they were being groomed to think and act monolithically and robotically in the image of their idiosyncratic educators.
One slow day some of them, all college seniors, gathered near me and began going over some of their college coursework. They were discussing content that I had in the eighth grade! The hair on the back of my neck stood up like a startled cat, I got chills, and began to sweat profusely requiring another four beers to recover as I contemplated a bleak future. That future is here.
Now things are beginning to make sense. Dumbing down college educations so that people are barely able to read and write is the perfect mechanism to overthrow a democracy losing a population that actually knows what is going on. I quit the beer but the realization that language manipulation coupled with bad education is a doorway to thought control haunts me as an old man. I was drinking beer and throwing left hooks in beer joints when I should have been alerting citizens to a brain-damaging Orwellian takeover-for that I plead guilty.
As an aging white guy, I realize my time outside an internment camp is nearly up. AOC, who is not JFK, has graced social media with the college-English statement that people like me “have drank” the poison of white supremacy! If she means Bud Light, she is apparently correct.
Now old Joe Biden, who along with his wayward son Hunter, has been picking the money tree in China for years, is about to take the helm. I hope that internment camp has free cable TV.
