  1.  @Parker_Douglas  Interesting assertion. How about an argument? No violence, no blockage, no words, no attempt to attract attention established or alleged. This is a straightforward violation of the constitutional rights of British subjects on its face. A slanderous assertion doesn't move the facts a millimeter. You've embraced the Orwellian concept of "crimethink".

  2. Don't be obtuse! All but psychopaths know that they don't live up to their own standards, that is to say the standards they can't help but hold others to. Guilt is not a state of mind, it is the objective human condition. Christians are by no means the only, nor even the first, to say the quiet part out loud but Christianity is the only thing you can do about it. That sort of thing will never be popular, any more than the folk who urge us to eat and drink in moderation, etc. Your absurd attempt to make us feel guilty about warning you of the cliff you're approaching leaves us unmoved. Oppressors have never liked it when we snatched their victims from their clutches. Protestantism created the modern libertarian west. We (Protestants) ended slavery; implemented religious freedom, political freedom, academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press FIRST, and thus caused the academic, scientific, technological, and material progress that followed; and most of the rest of the world hasn't caught up with it yet. John 8:32 "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” And what do you propose as an alternative? Atheism? It's obvious where this is going. In order to rid yourself of an external voice of conscience awakening the inner, you would rather have propagandists haranguing you in service of the nomenclatura and the despot, and arresting you or murdering you if you dissent. From the Jacobin Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, through the Soviet Union, the Third Reich, Communist China, and the Pol Pot regime; the result of a society based on atheism has invariably been bloodbath after bloodbath. The USSR alone murdered more of its own civilians than have ever been killed in all the inquisitions, pogroms, and purely religious wars in recorded history, and they only lasted: what? 80 or so years? If you don't oppose this attack on YOUR freedom of thought and expression, you have no MORAL STANDING to, and may soon enough have no POWER to, complain about anything whatsoever. First They Came For The Jews / Martin Niemöller First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

  3. If you think that the Jewish are on the favored side of this crap, you're not paying attention.

  4. You just contradicted yourself. The defendant should lie to get off, and everybody else in a land that will prosecute for crimethink should document their newly criminalized dissent.

  5. This American brother is not ready to write you off. Our enemies are uncharacteristically clarifying their position. This is necessary for them to complete their task. Totalitarianism is never complete until most KNOW they're being oppressed but are afraid to speak. They're transitioning from trying to fool us to trying to DEMORALIZE us. That transition is when they're most vulnerable. Don't despair. Watch! Think! Speak when you can. When you can't I'll do my best to speak for you. Be ready. You are in my prayers.

  6. Yea, the pieces are all in place, the ubiquitous surveillance, the Newspeak, the censorship, "refs nonpersons", "mutability of the past", TVs that watch you, the "two minutes hate" at our workplaces (only longer), the Big Lie gaslighting: ‘War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.’ But they haven't nailed us down yet. In the final stage, they can't depend on deception alone. One can't ultimately be a total despot in secret. They aren't really trying to fool us anymore. They are trying to DEMORALIZE us. They want a situation where all of us betray everybody else. Totalitarianism requires a state of affairs where almost everybody KNOWS they're being oppressed and lied to, but nobody dares SAY it. Galadriel: The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Aragorn: By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West! G, K. Chesterton - “Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the skepticism of our time does not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape. We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith. We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know it to be right. We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to us. The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall be of those who have seen and yet have believed.” Puddlegum: "One word, Ma'am," he said, coming back from the fire; limping, because of the pain. "One word. All you've been saying is quite right, I shouldn't wonder. I'm a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won't deny any of what you said. But there's one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we're leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for Overland. Not that our lives will be very long, I should think; but that's a small loss if the world's as dull a place as you say."
