Maybe we should just start a The World Has Gone Mad thread

[Perd Hapley]

I have to agree with one of the comments: If we actually adopted this stupid word salad language, talking and reading would be simply exhausting.

I think it is designed to make language (spoken or written) more difficult, and really just frightening. And when it's hard to speak or write, it's hard to think.

Just yesterday, I had a male customer trying to look feminine, with eye shadow and some kind of tube top or sports bra under his unbuttoned maintenance uniform shirt. You just don't want to talk to someone like that, because you'll inevitably use some sex-specific word, and that might give him an excuse to use legal action against you, or just complain to your boss, or whatever.

If we go back to the beginning of left-wing speech and thought control, it goes back at least as far as minority-advocacy groups trying to change ethnonyms from "negro" or "colored" to "African-American." Or from "Hispanic" to "Mexican-American," or whatever the case may be. Part of the dynamic, not often discussed, is to establish that they (the Left) is in charge of the language, and you're accountable to them.

Absolutely nailed it.  Control of language is control of thought and also of social coordination and organization.

There sure are a lot of "mad world" competitors these days. I would have never guessed that in my lifetime (or anyone's lifetime) I would be reading stories written in a "this is great" light about the thriving business of cutting the breasts off of 13 year old girls in the United States of America.

How is this different from genital mutilation of African girls?

For the first time, the United States is designating a special diplomat to advocate for global biodiversity amid what policymakers here and overseas increasingly recognize as an extinction crisis.

Monica Medina is taking on a new role as special envoy for biodiversity and water resources, the State Department announced Wednesday. She currently serves as the department’s assistant secretary for oceans and international environmental and scientific affairs.

A US Army major and her anesthesiologist wife have been charged with scheming to help Russia in its war against Ukraine by trying to hand over medical records of American military patients to Moscow, the Justice Department said Thursday.

She also told the agent she’d contemplated volunteering to join the Russian army, the indictment says.

Okay, I read the link and the only thing I can come up with is WTF?  I've worked with HIPAA before, and more often the unfortunately named HITECH act which is really the same thing with a broader scope.  Where was I going with this? (I've been drinking)  Oh, yeah.  WTF?

So they don't want to talk about him being the first trannie officer, that broke that totally unreasonable glass ceiling we had, that didn't allow the clearly insane to pose as military officers, or have access to sensitive materials?

Also, is he admitting he's a man now, because he's come to his senses? Or is he trying to avoid embarrassing the trans fabulously insane community?

Common sense and calm should prevail within a school when deciding how “contagious” an individual may be...

Uh, common sense and calm? They're not forcing them to wear hair nets, and hide behind plexiglass? Who are these people, and what have they done with the nervous Nellie worry-warts we've all gotten used to?

From the article:

According to the indictment, Gabrielian met with the undercover agent in a hotel on Aug. 24 in Baltimore, Maryland. During the meeting, she called Henry a “coward” for being nervous about leaking information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA. Gabrielian also said she had no issue with violating HIPPA and that she did it “all the time.”
