“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)

There’s a perversion in American right now that some people want to ignore. It’s like it’s not happening and they don’t have a stake in it. Sexual deviates and perverts are taking over the conversation, women’s sports and making a mockery common decency. They are grooming little children for pedophiles, exposing them to explicit sexual content at an early age, performing gender confusion and change in secret.

If you think it’s ok, take a look at your young family members and think of the impact this will have on them. Do you want you little nephew to be your niece? Or just don’t care? If so, you’re the problem. It’s going to take a majority of Americans to vote this stench out of elected positions.

We’ve established how the alphabet works, so now it’s time to look into exactly why French seems to ignore its own spellings. And to be fair, while the French adherence to alphabetical “rules” is loose, it’s probably not any worse than English. One thing French has that English doesn’t is the Académie française, which is an institution that conserves the French language and keeps it from changing as much as it would naturally. But in spite of that, English and French have similar reasons for why their pronunciation is tough for second language learners.

The biggest reason for unpronounced letters is that, at one time, the letters were pronounced. Spelling tends to reflect the language as it was spoken when the language was standardized, rather than how it’s pronounced today. French spelling went through various phases of reformation — no language stays still forever — but some words can trace their spelling back nearly 1,000 years.

One such change is that the last syllable of French words were pronounced less and less historically, which is why today, you often don’t pronounce the last letters in French words. A similar thing happened in English; the silent “e” at the end of words used to actually be pronounced. It’s only because spelling doesn’t evolve together with French speaking that the mismatch occurs.

Another contributor to alphabetical weirdness is “etymological spelling.” Sometimes, a word will reflect the language it comes from, even if it was never actually pronounced that way. The French word paix never pronounced the “x,” but the “x” is still there to reflect the Latin word it comes from: pax. 

Again, these factors aren’t that unusual for any language. English has just as many quirks for similar reasons; it just manifests in different ways. And if you’re raised speaking a language, you tend not to notice how aggravating the language can be to non-native speakers.

Wokeism’s natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and—if need be—of those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda.

Wokeism has been described by its critics as the omnipresent use of race—and to a lesser extent, gender—to replace meritocracy and thus ensure equality of result. What follows from implementing that ideology are reparatory actions to reward those of the present by atoning for the injustices done to others in the past.

Some see it as an update of 1960s cultural Marxism fads. Others scoff that it is just a return to 1980s-style political correctness.

Still more see it as the logical successor to 1990s-type race, class, and gender obsessions—albeit with a shriller and more dangerous Jacobin, Soviet, and Maoist twist. Wokeism’s hysteria also invites comparisons to the Salem witch trials and McCarthyism.

But few have described wokeism as the cruel creed that it is.

Wokeism’s natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and—if need be—those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda. It is nihilist and destroys everything it touches. It tears apart foes and friends alike, whether by fueling media-driven hatred of Donald Trump or faux-deification of the disaster that is now Joe Biden.
