In George Orwell's novel 1984 NEWSPEAK was designed to meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism in Oceania. The ruling Party created Newspeak, a controlled language of restricted grammar and limited vocabulary, in order to repress freedom of thought — personal identity, self-expression, free will — that threatens the ideology of the régime of Big Brother and the Party, who criminalized such concepts into thoughtcrime.
To be fair, in a moment that still informs pop culture, Muhammad Ali triumphantly defeated Sonny Liston in an iconic boxing match whilst yelling at his opponent: "What's My Name?!?!"
Call it political correctness or inclusivity . . . Here's public radio pushing an English update on Americans who wish to effectively participate in political debate on a level beyond social media blathering.

Nonbinary Folks In Kansas City Say Their Pronouns Aren't Really That Hard To Understand
As nonbinary people gain more recognition, with Merriam-Webster adding "they/them" pronouns to its dictionary and celebrities like Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness coming out as nonbinary, members of Kansas City's nonbinary community hope to educate more people about their lives.
Nope.
ReplyDeleteNeed to move left or right coast buddy, that dog don't hunt here.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^ Tolerance should be a priority EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDelete1201. It’s not tolerance. It’s thought control
ReplyDeleteSure thing, but when they insist on a population learning a different language, then determine that same population to be racist/bigoted/intolerant because they can't grasp what the hell they are supposed to call them, that is too much. Time to move to a community that embraces their agenda and stop cramming their thought down others throats.
ReplyDeleteI "feel" like a cat today. Tomorrow I will "feel" like an "elephant" Thats how I identify, and tolerating it is not enough, you MUST celebrate my choices!
ReplyDeleteIt is not tolerance, 12:01.
ReplyDeleteIt is bullshit. Always has been. Always will be.
Total nonsense.
ReplyDeleteIgnore them. Thats what they fear most.
ReplyDeleteAnd they seem to wonder why normal people don't give a crap about them.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I don’t send money to KCUR anymore.
ReplyDeleteI read the article and I still don't have any idea what is been asked of me. I think it's more needless complexity.
ReplyDeleteLook, I like it as much as the next guy when a lady I am having sex with calls me "daddy" even though I do not identify as her father. However, should she be FORCED to call me daddy?
ReplyDeleteLook, I like watching women with penises absolutely dominate women with vaginas. We all know that women with penises are smarter and stronger than women with vaginas. It is just a flat fact.
Look, I understand that you were not held as a child and as a consequence you don't know if you are a boy or a girl or a TV station, but just like the girl who calls me daddy, it is a CHOICE not an obligation. I prefer to make fun of non-binary people because I think they are fun to make fun of. So sue me.
LGBT..Liberty, Guns, Beer, Trump !
ReplyDeleteJ.W. for the win.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about creating a sudden vocabulary labyrinth for everyone else so they create a sitution where they are the "knowing" overlords and others are the "unknowing" imbeciles. That's where they believe they have gained some measure of power and it makes them feel good. Confusion is sowed and smug superiority is reaped.
ReplyDeletefaggots, freaks, deviants, embiciles, mentally ill. There Sally is what we can call you.
ReplyDeleteThey’re faggots so who cares about their pronouns?
ReplyDeleteIs "you" an acceptable pronoun like in fuck you?
ReplyDeleteDude LOOKS LIKE A LADY. I have made the same mistake .Two speed snorting DYKE LESBIANS was coming in the Door and I said HIGH FELLOWS. THEY SAID THANKS FOR HOLDING THE DOOR.
ReplyDeleteFucking Queers are never happy. And yes , Queers say you can call them Queers according to the Expert Queer on NPR.
ReplyDeleteNever ceases to amaze me that some of the ugliest dicksucking fags in the world will grow some tits and put on some lipstick and then become the most horrendously ugly fucked up looking queers with tits on the planet. Then the mentally ill misfits get displayed on tv like real Americans are supposed to accept this sick shit. I’m sick and tired of the Hollywood Jews throwing queers on tv in an attempt to subvert the children of this country to the point where sick queers are the norm and all the rest of us are outcast. Don’t ever forget a homosexual is a disease in the body of a nation. We’re seeing evidence of that every day it’s sad
ReplyDelete7:32: That sounds like Trump. Is he a tranny?
ReplyDeleteYou’re either a man or a woman
ReplyDelete^^Actually, that's not true.
ReplyDeleteWe've learned a lot since you last studied biology fifty years ago.
And yet human biology has not meaningfully changed in that time, you complete moron.
DeleteAre they going to get special designated parking spots at Hyvee ?
ReplyDeleteByron, is that why you identify as a sheep?
ReplyDelete4:09 explains this situation precisely.
ReplyDeleteWish these bad guys could aim better and take a cop with them to the Gates of Hell. Cops would think twice then about how much they getting paid an hour.
ReplyDeleteThat's cray.
