In any large population you’re going to find some misguided weirdos with outrageous world views but that represent but a blip on the radar. Meanwhile the entire editorial board of the very website this article is published on, probably to a person, think that their particular brand of AngSoc is just fine, since they’ve been pumping it out via their tabloid pages for years.

There were plenty of people - myself included - who called this idiot out for his historical revisionism.

But this idiot seems to think (and there are plenty of liberal women included) that consider men with XY chromosomes who claim they are women are women.

It's rubbish, really.

And yes, almost all are mentally ill. Plenty were abused as children and are still broken. Instead of having someone be kind and tell them that no matter how they dress or think, they aren't women. They never will be. Instead, they have liberals enabling the delusion, including the fallacy that hormones will make them women - when the endocrine system is so complex in women that medically many are considered hysterical when they have actual medical problems.

80% would benefit from intensive therapy with their gender dysmorphia. The other 20% can't be helped because they are spoonfed (rubbish) that they can be anything they want, and modern medicine has no qualms experimenting on these people, giving them cross-hormones to render them infertile and make them susceptible to cancer and heart disease.

Much like I don't have anger at someone with Type 1 Diabetes, I won't be hurtful to these broken people. G_d knows they need prayers and help and instead of getting it, people enable the delusions to look "woke."

Eventually, women will be considered third-class citizens, especially where men who dress as women are higher on the PC grievance ladder. I personally will have a huge bowl of schadenfreude over it when these delusional women - liberal women - are thrown aside without remourse or regret.

You can link to stuff like that with a heads-up that it may not be to everyone’s taste, rather than posting it.

One thing I recall reading about in Solzhenitsyn’s “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” was that you could yell or say anything rude or derogatory about Stalin in the labour camps and you would not get into any trouble for it. Of course, it was a completely different story if you were an ordinary civilian not in jail or a labour camp. These people are basically certifiable, through and through.

Indeed. The left pretends to espouse tolerance and non-violence, but all it takes is a short conversation before the truth begins to come out. They have already urged street violence against their political opponents in the name of “no tolerance for intolerance,” and now re-education camps are a “non-violent” means of dealing with those who get in their way. They are laying the ideological foundations for a truly monstrous regime should we ever be so foolish as to allow them to have power.

My first thought is that the entire idea of the Gulag was so abhorrent that no sane society would have such a thing. Then I considered “trans rights campaigners” and now I’m a lot less against it.

The trannies told a woman she should be sent to a gulag and then to cover their tranny fannies, they said that gulags were actually nice places.

This isn't about mainstreaming Stalinism, its just about defusing their "send her to a gulag" comment by using the natural tool of Post-Moderism which is: reality (and therefor truth) is what ever you believe it to be or say it is.

In other words, they want to play like Obama...and lie.

That's why we can safely conclude that Obama and his followers are "people of the lie" (i.e. children of the father of lies)

They love to lie because that is the foundation of Post-Modernism.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

" Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” -- Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Two telling examples. After reading the three volumes of TGA, I was overwhelmed by the fact that the Russian people put up with those atrocities at every level of their society. From the small farm, to the shop, to the street, to the town, to the city, there seemed to be no thought of resistance. The Black Marias, that only came at night, carrying off the prisoner to his doom, for just questioning Stalin’s new 5 year plan were ignored.
The saddest chapter was about the prisoners who survived the 8 year or the “tenner” then becoming exiled in their own country.
A long read but worth the time. Solzhenitsyn eventually returned to die in Russia. After all he went through, he was not a Vermonter, he was a Russian!
Compassionate, educational? Not ever!

That’s the way leftist see it. Concession to torture and confinement is compassionate government slaughter for failure to concede is compassionate. Kind of like postpartum abortion.
