Newspeak emerges from the pages of '1984' and enters the reality of the 21st century: indeed, Orwell was not merely a writer of fiction, but a prophet

Shepard Fairley/Penguins Books Limited

Purely anecdotal, and examples I will not proffer, but doth mine eyes alone notice that, of late, people's grammar and language skills seem to be deteriorating further, and a more rapid trajectory? Should we not recall '1984' and how the proles were gradually groomed to converse in Newspeak, a simplified version of English crafted to quell critical thinking? '1984' doth swiftly approach as veritable truth. Be alarmed; the degradation of our mother tongue is not something to dismiss lightly.

VIDEO: Trump worship has turned MAGA into a sexual fetish. Even after eight years of this cultish folly, the madness hath no end. Let none cease to remain alarmed and on high alert. #Cult45 are in a worse state than we have realised.

History to be made today: Trump becomes first former U.S. POTUS to stand trial on criminal charges

Thirty-four felony counts against him, and still the GOP nominee to face President Biden this fall. Consider this post a daily reminder, #Murica, that what is unfolding is far from normal or proper. It never has been, and despite efforts by all of the tentacles of #Cult45 to normalize it, it never will be. {BBC 4/15}

The eclipse comes and goes, and #Qanon and various groups appear to be embarrassed once more. Do they care? Do they still ‘trust the plan’? (Short answer: the only ‘plan’ is hating and hurting Jews, and every single follower is aware of it)

The eclipse has passed, and no new catastrophe has emerged, once again leaving the tin foil hat-wearing 'Pepe' crowd with egg on their faces. Do the 'trust the plan' #Qanon enthusiasts still ‘trust the plan’? Sadly, the answer remains 'yes', as there is a complete lack of shame and dignity at all times with these people.

All the trappings we see from these folks - the many slogans, the idolization of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the stupid frog, the fixation on pedophiles and child trafficking - are thinly veiled cover for their one overriding purpose: hating and disempowering Jews. It matters zero to them if their ‘plan’ is grounded in reality; they are fervent Christian nationalists with a severely distorted sense of reality, and a highly tuned antipathy to all who do not believe as they do.

That said, every #Cult45 acolyte knows, deep down, that Donald Trump did not win the 2020 presidential election, and Trump and his enablers know he did not win; they shout 'Trump won' in our faces as a form of abuse, not because anybody thinks it is true. #Cult45 will be proven wrong time and time again, and every time they will only intensify their hatreds and willful delusions. It is organized insanity in service of neo-Nazism and white supremacy. 

Do not underestimate the absurdity and cruelty these committed fanatics are willing to perpetrate. Despite their willful delusion regarding specific details, their profound fear and hatred of the Jewish people remain unwavering in the grand scheme of things. This hatred is as ancient as time itself, a malignant cancer that will likely endure for hundreds and thousands of years to come - assuming the world still stands, but I digress.

A quick note on rejecting conformity and embracing being hated

I have never neatly fit into any box, nor hath I blindly followed any crowd. Being ordinary is simply not in my constitution; my personality is prickly. From birth, I hath been anemic, weary, and at times given to confusion. By reason of these traits, among others, I hath ever been despised by the typical person in my life, especially in childhood but continuing decades hence. Most people hate me. Well, the feeling is quite mutual. Never more so than in these rotten days. #JustSaying

The masses are a**es: reinforcing humanity's harshest truths and refuting the universe's biggest lie in a time of extreme degradation

E.G. Records

The period from (at the very least) 2016 until now has reinforced a harsh reality about humanity, one that nearly all of us prefer to ignore: While people may age physically and their personalities may be altered over the course of a lifetime, the majority tend to retain the same immature a**holes they were in high school. It is disheartening to acknowledge that most individuals are not inherently good, despite the notion demanded of us that people in general are fundamentally decent. The past eight years, coupled with significant and soul-crushing self-reflection, have unequivocally confirmed these sobering truths for me. It is distressing to witness not only the failure of many to mature, but also the outright regression of most adults in this absurd era. #Cult45 serves as the starkest evidence, naturally, but they are not the sole culprits; numerous other examples could be cited. Consider grown adults indulging in video games, eating fast food, or listening to teen pop music, for instance. And how vehemently they will defend themselves if anyone dares suggest that ‘hey, come on, this is kid stuff’. But I digress.

Since just before the pandemic, I have endured profound agony and near-total isolation, striving to confront and overcome the darkest parts of myself. Meanwhile, I have watched as many others appear to embrace their own inner demons in this diseased age and within these dying United States of America. Every pessimistic thought and suspicion I ever harboured about humanity has been painfully confirmed and then some. At 46 years old, not once in my life have I ever felt a sense of belonging, only now I am proud and grateful to not belong among all these bloody imbeciles. The collective decline is becoming too much to bear, with people becoming increasingly self-absorbed and indifferent. Sadly, this trend shows no signs of abating; an American renaissance is unlikely to occur in any of our lifetimes, and the planet itself is suffering irreparable harm. Get me the f**k out of here.

An AI safety researcher warns that there is a 99.999999% probability that Artificial Intelligence is an existential threat to humanity

Getty Images

The director of the Cyber Security Laboratory at the University of Louisville doth caution that once superintelligence is achieved, controlling AI becomes virtually impossible, stressing that the only prevention is to abstain from its development entirely. Conversely, Elon Musk, the Boy Genius, estimates the perilous odds of calamity at a relatively mere ten to twenty percent, and advocates continued research and development. When even the staunchest proponents admit there is a measure of hazard, it is time to take heed. Or embrace the looming spectre of Armageddon, one or the other.
