Sowing The Wind: The New ‘Newspeak’<\/h1>\n

By Lani Kass
\nRealClear Wire<\/p>\n

The presidential election is eight months away. Yet the campaign to preclude a second Trump administration is already in high gear.\u00a0<\/strong>In the course of two weeks, the public was given a preview of the undemocratic, uncouth, racist dystopia MAGA America is doomed to become. Against the backdrop of the most virulent antisemitism sweeping the U.S. in the wake of Hamas\u2019 savagery, the media has chosen to pillory \u201cwhite nationalism\u201d as the clear and present danger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

First, a new tome, \u201cWhite Rural Rage,\u201d is hailed by the New York Times as \u201can important book that ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand politics in the perilous Age of Trump.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, Politico\u2019s\u00a0Heidi Przybyla<\/a>\u00a0proclaims that people who believe human rights come from God are \u201cChristian Nationalists.\u201d She triggers an uproar. Yet she doubles down in an even more incendiary\u00a0piece<\/a>: \u201cChristian Nationalism is a political movement. \u2026 The thing that unites them \u2026 is that they believe our rights as Americans and as all human beings do not come from any earthy [sic] authority. They don\u2019t come from Congress, from the Supreme Court, they come from God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evidently, people who have read America\u2019s founding document \u2013 the Constitution \u2013 are a mortal threat to our very survival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, on March 3, CBS\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes\u201d broadcasts a segment about \u201cMoms for Liberty\u201d waging a \u201ccampaign to ban books on race and gender from school libraries.\u201d Could \u201cFahrenheit 451\u201d be far behind?<\/p>\n

We are witnessing what Hannah Arendt calls \u201cthe atomization of society.\u201d It is a well-tested tactic: Shatter every natural connection in society; twist the language; isolate people from each other. The individual is all alone \u2013 an atom. No family, no community, no solace.<\/p>\n

Totalitarianism of all stripes finds fertile ground in frightened, isolated individuals.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Technology accelerates this \u201catomization.\u201d We relate to each other in \u201cvirtual reality.\u201d Our \u201cfriends\u201d are on Facebook.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Truth itself is erased, because the Internet offers \u201cfacts\u201d to fit any narrative. We have access to unprecedented amounts of information; yet our knowledge and intellectual discourse are beggared. The free market of ideas gives way to mutually reinforcing opinions, shared in closed echo chambers.<\/p>\n

To disorient the \u201catomized\u201d individual still further, \u201cPolitical Correctness\u201d takes hold. Things which were acceptable yesterday will get you a reprimand today. You\u2019ll be censored online. You learn to obfuscate, because you need your job; you don\u2019t want to be \u201ccanceled\u201d; and, most of all, you dread being labeled \u201cracist.\u201d You self-censor \u2013 just like in the U.S.S.R.<\/p>\n

Soon, a new language takes hold. Not only our pets can be \u201cgroomed\u201d; so can our children. We ask about \u201cpreferred pronouns.\u201d We learn new words: \u201ccisgender,\u201d \u201cwoke,\u201d and \u201cmicro-aggression.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re taught that \u201cthe only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.\u201d And thus, \u201cAll animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The term \u201cNewspeak\u201d originated in George Orwell\u2019s novel \u201c1984.\u201d \u201cNewspeak\u201d is a\u00a0controlled language<\/a>, designed to limit\u00a0critical thinking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Orwell\u2019s dystopia, \u201cThe Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies. \u2026 These contradictions are not accidental; they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.\u201d<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s Department of Defense:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diversity management calls for creating a culture of inclusion in which the diversity \u2026 shapes how the work is done. \u2026 Although good diversity management rests on a foundation of fair treatment, it is not about treating everyone the same. This can be a difficult concept to grasp, especially for leaders who grew up with the EO-inspired mandate to be both color and gender blind. Blindness to difference, however, can lead to a culture of assimilation in which differences are suppressed rather than leveraged. Cultural assimilation, a key to military effectiveness in the past, will be challenged as inclusion becomes, and needs to become, the norm.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The statement is from the\u00a02011 report of the commission on \u201cMilitary Leadership Diversity.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Orwell would be proud.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report \u2013 and the implementing law \u2013 are breathtaking in scope and implications. MLDC calls for a fundamental \u201ctransformation\u201d of our military \u2013 making racial and gender representation a \u201ctop defense priority.\u201d This effort continues with a new Defense Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion.<\/p>\n

We know that accentuating what is different among us fosters division and erodes cohesion. Yet we\u2019re told that it\u2019s \u201cdiversity\u201d \u2013 of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation \u2013 that makes our nation prosperous and our military strong.<\/p>\n

We try to reconcile this with our motto, \u201cE pluribus unum.\u201d But we can\u2019t reconcile the irreconcilable. This inevitably leads to cognitive dissonance \u2013 disorienting, disconcerting, and further \u201catomizing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new Utopia emerges, wherein there are 57+ genders and men can give birth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that is inconceivable, but it\u2019s all around us \u2013 and suddenly we can\u2019t talk to our children anymore. They think we are racist, sexist, transphobic bigots. We feel like aliens \u2013 from outer space, not from across the Southern border. \u201cUp is down, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.\u201d We are atoms, untethered, disoriented, disconnected.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, thus, they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
