The Death of Dialogue

In a recent conversation about Project 2025, I showed a progressive the actual text of the Project 2025 playbook, and how it did not say the tyrannical pronouncements that left wing sources claimed. His response told me more than I wanted to know, as he said "words don't mean what they say."

I realized then how tragically our ability to communicate with one another in western society has collapsed. The indoctrinated have overtaken the educated. Words have no meaning other than what the reader/listener thinks they mean, and if an authority they follow tells them not to believe what they see or hear, but what that authority tells them, trust and reasoned dialogue are no longer possible.

Unhappily, the indoctrination carries over to accepting the idea of reaching for goals "by any means possible." The indoctrinated readily accept the premise that "everyone lies," and have no sense of guilt about lying themselves. Trust and intelligent dialogue have been destroyed.
This explains why a leader can talk about unifying the country and in the next sentence declare half the population as "enemies of democracy." It's no wonder we've suffered a leader with a half century of non-stop pathological lying, because the indoctrinated envy his ability to do so freely and seemingly without a bothersome conscience about the damage his lies have done to others.

    With rationality eviscerated, the “ends justify the means” with the moral acceptance of “might makes right.” It is an evil combination, and let’s hope a small group of thinking people can properly demonstrate that “reality is the ultimate arbiter.” That’s the purpose of this platform, as common sense optimistically returns.

    I can totally see this. It's an unraveling of decent thought processes throughout our society. I can see it, plain as day....

    Well stated. Yes, its about feelings not facts. The Frankfurt School has succeeded. Perhaps a few on the left will realize we are following Venezuela down the path of self inflicted destruction. Thank God for the Second Amendment.

    I would have asked: Then how could we have a one world government ruling over the earth if words have no meaning and how do we tell when they do have meaning.

    But the bigger point, I think, is that he knows that our language has been confounded, the meaning or words has changed.
    Whether he knows that his kind has done that or he thinks the other side did, is up for grabs.

    The statists (DS, Left, whatever...) know this to be true, which is why their propaganda machine will convince millions of Americans Kamala Harris is a virgin saint by election day.

    My Brit Englis prof used to harp on how many words were in the English language, and how few, dwindling, we use daily. It has grow far worse sense then. People are lazy and do no research, wait for talking points from Facebook or TV. How can anyone understand if they do not debate and share what they have learned? My unior I was the only gal in a class of Saudi males, they could actually converse and debate better than US students.

      Things get worse when influencers, whether government or popular individuals, redefine what that limited set of words mean, and fabricate new ones. For example, there is a concerted effort to equate the description of a person as white to also mean "racist," that's been carried even further into strange territory by describing Asians as "white adjacent" (meaning they're also racist).

      A whole new lexicon of terms have flooded any discussion of gender, and a new dictionary of terms is growing to describe acts and attitudes that offend or victimize. One latest example is "grossophobia," which is the act of showing or expressing disgust at the sight of repulsive or unpleasant images, which "victimizes" the party who chose to display the image.

        When Harris keeps referring to herself as "woman of color" knowing press take it to mean Arican America, then so too do dreal AAs, that is a deliberate attempt to deceiv for votes. I have known several women from India, all refer to themselfves by name or as from India. My sister in law is Cambodian, she uses her name, or her placae of birth, but is a US citizen and proud. Honest is a must.

    This is the age of intolerance and hidden agendas- all being pushed by the left. The DO want power, and power means that everyone else agrees with you and does what you want. Dialogue is irrelevant and useless. Its all about forcing people to agree with you and do your bidding.
    This country is for sure doomed if this is allowed to go on. I am thinking true revolution is needed to just divide the country into the power seekers, and the freedom lovers. I have little desire to even interact with entitled blacks, or entitled leftists of any kind.

    I often think of the Monty Python skit about "We will fight for his right to WANT to have a baby"...
    And how ridiculous it was... EVEN in a comedy skit.

    And TODAY... It is in our face. And if you speak out against it, the Leftist Neo Natzi-esque attack dogs will BEAT you into submission. So no other stand up to their absurdities.

    Our forefathers would say "We gave up EVERYTHING so you could ACCEPT this?"
