Brain Janitors Mop Away Distinctions

Timothy Birdnow

The AP is trying to erase the word THE from public discourse:

May be an image of text that says 'Tweet AR @AP The Associated ciated Press We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing 'the' labeis such as the poor, the mentally ill, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant. 08:21 27/01/2023 92.1K Views 121 Likes 21 Retweets 81 Quotes'

So it is "dehumanizing" to say the before mentioning a group? 

This is no idle issue. What it does is erase boundaries between categories, a form of monism that makes everything a part of everything else. (The Nazis were monists, as most of them were neo-pagans following the theosophy of Helena Blavatsky and the German Thule Society.)

The intent here is to make it impossible for people to see distinctions. It is those distinctions that are the root of all wisdom when it comes to understanding issues. This monistic salad that we are told to adopt makes understanding difficult if not impossible.

How do you deal with, say, problems involving poverty if you cannot see the distinctions between those who are not poor and those who are?  But that is precisely what they are seeking to do.

And why is the AP the arbiters of language and of kindness? Isn't their job to impart information and not to change emotional views of people?

Precision is what their use of language should be about. Not making people feel good about themselves. If they want to do that they should stop calling themselves journalists.

But of course we know the "journalism" profession is all about emotions and manipulating how people think rather than about precision or reflecting current views. They are propagandists and brain janitors.

1 Your rebuttal rebuts itself, Timothy - illustrates that you have missed the point that liberals are trying to make. That point is that facts don't matter. Their world, they world they wish to drag us into, functions based on feelings. Operations are based on how the functionaries feel, and on how they want the population to feel. They are working their precious littls asses of to manipulate feelings, and are uninterested in how factual issues evolve.

2 I think it is deeper than that Bill, at least where those who come up with this stuff are concerned. This is Newspeak, the same thing spoken of by George Orwell. It is designed to erase distinctions so people cannot think properly. I think it transcends pure emotion, although there is a definite element of that, especially with the "troops".

Not sure how my argument "defeats itself".
