Words Are Important

I was going to write something about the White House monkeypox guy, so I was combing Twitter for some content to embed. This tweet came up, which got me thinking.

Are any of their strategies actually working? I can’t think of a single one. The politest way I can put it is that this affliction is spread by gay interactions and yet everywhere, and all the time, they are promoting gay interactions and other things that make even that seem tame by comparison. So, no, it’s not working, and any effective strategy would have to start from the premise that gay interaction is an inherently unhealthy practice.

To the extent any of their strategies work, it’s because the desired outcome is contrary to the stated purpose. For instance, the desired outcome of decriminalizing black people is to unleash a crime wave on America, not the stated purpose of racial equity.

It appears they market all of this mainly by describing it in terms that nobody understands. While the stock market tanked, Biden held a celebration of the Inflation Reduction Act on the White House lawn. Not that I expected a real explanation, but I was curious about how legislation that involved the government spending an enormous sum of money reduced inflation. It’s a fair question.

What does this even mean?

Imagine going up to someone on the street and exclaiming “the promise of America is real, and its soul is vibrant, we need courage that digs deep.” Depending on who it is, they’d either physically assault you, run away, or look at you like you’re a lunatic but feel physically secure enough to just keep walking. If they were feeling introspective about the incident later, perhaps they’d wonder to themselves about what in the hell you were talking about.

Our politicians can articulate precisely who is bad and who is good according to our nightmare system, but that’s about it. Somehow, the non-articulation of a specific concept approach seems to mollify the average American as long as it’s coming from politicians and not anyone they actually talk with in real life. Here’s another:

We need to ______________ today, if we’re going to address the problems of tomorrow. If I were in their line of work, this would be my go-to fill-in-the blank. Even a primitive mind readily appreciates this basic set up: “We need to eat our lunches today, if we’re to move our bowels tomorrow.” It’s foolproof.

If I were writing for Biden, I’d start brainstorming hard because he’ll need to disconnect all of his language from reality soon. They should have bushels of these things ready to go:

“The courage of our character is the essence of America’s determination. It is the light we shine into the darkness in the sure knowledge that our nation is a beacon to the masses.”

This fits everything from the mundane to the horrifying and catastrophic. I’d be happy to sell them for 5 bucks a piece. The principle reminds me of dialogue from a movie about the last Chinese emperor and his tutor:

Reginald Fleming Johnston: “Words are important.

Pu Yi: Why are words important?

Reginald Fleming Johnston: If you cannot say what you mean, Your Majesty, you will never mean what you say and a gentleman should always mean what he says.

This is a great concept to instill in a young man, but that ain’t gonna work for Joe.

  1. The Biden Freak Show kicks into high gear. The good news is – I don’t have to watch. The bad news is – I’m forced at gunpoint and at the threat of being thrown into a gulag to help finance the freak show. That part really pisses me off.

    1. Realistically, if they hadn’t done the Covid scamdemic (“live in ze pod, eat ze bug”) and all this encroaching leftism, the world we’d grow up to “enjoy” would be that of Nietzsche’s “Last Man” AKA Francis Fukuyama’s “the end of history”. A world of total and complete deracinated, decultured, hyper-individualist consumerist capitalism. You’d basically be living in an anarcho-capitalist cyberpunk dystopia anyhow. So nothing’s really changed– arguably, at least in our current timeline, we’re not going to have to worry about getting old and feeble and living a meaningless existence of wanton excess. Given the status-quo and what outcomes are actually possible even if they hadn’t done everything they have since 2020, its quite possible we’re actually living in the best timeline
