A Populace Conditioned to Accept Contradictions Is Easily Manipulated
It’s the hottest, snowiest season on record - if you believe the New York Times, a former newspaper
It’s the hottest, snowiest season on record - if you believe the New York Times, a former newspaper.
On January 2nd the NYT published this piece …
And then, just 10 days later, the same news source published this …
So what gives at the schizophrenic New York Times?
Well, the beauty of climate change is that it can be used to claim anything.
Drought?
That’s climate change.
Floods?
That’s climate change too.
Bushfires?
Also climate change.
Snow?
You already know the answer.
And all we need to fix the climate is around $100b a year, deposited into the UN coffers by taxpayers in Western nations.
Unelected, unaccountable, unrepresentative UN officials will then redistribute the money as they see fit which, incidentally, makes them very, very powerful.
Snow. Drought. Floods. Fires. When you are selling a narrative, facts (much less consistency) don’t matter a bit!
You’d think the obvious contradictions would destroy the entire charade. But we now have a populace training to embrace contradictions.
The same celebrity who says gender is a social construct celebrates her pregnancy with a social media post saying “It’s a girl”.
The same politician who says a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman is also a staunch advocate for women’s rights.
The same activists who claim that sexual orientation is an immutable, unchangeable fact argue that biological sex is fluid.
Journalists stand in front of violent BLM riots and assure us they are “mostly peaceful protests”.
We have been trained to just go along with contradictions, not worrying much about whether or not anything we are told makes any sense.
And so politicians, media, activists - none of them feel any shame holding two completely contradictory positions at the same time. In a post truth world, they are confident that the majority no longer care, or even notice.
Great article James. 2 of my nieces left Texas after my brother’s wedding and returned to Edmonton, CA, where they’re having their coldest temperatures in 50yrs. It’s been down to -49. They’ve been told to use less electricity so they don’t bring down the grid. If these people don’t have oil heating, many would die. They’d love a bit of global warming now. Cyclical weather patterns 🤔 who’d have thought?
What happened to truth?
The current generation of young adults has been taught that truth is as fluid as gender. It used to be Male and female, truth and lies; but now there are "many genders" and everything is a shade of truth.
And these young adults are now teaching their kids the same thing - I heard a song on "Kids TV" sung by 2 cartoon character gay men bringing up a cartoon kid, dressing him in a girls ballet outfit and a tiara, and singing "when you don't know what to do, think of what you like to do - just be you" - and the kid was like "Just be me?" - with the adults purportedly raising him nodding happy encouragement. The US channel reaches billions of people worldwide, providing this advice to children.
No guidelines, except Emotions, are provided. No mention of what is wrong and what is right.
And the thought of discipline? If they could legislate parental discipline right out of the country, they would. We are more than halfway there already.
It's not choosing between right and wrong anymore, with a line which may not be crossed without consequences. It's following your emotions, which means that you ricochet from one crisis to the next without any guide as to what is the right thing to do except your feelings.
Very confusing for adults - how much more confusing for children. No wonder so many people need counselling - which is often provided by people with exactly the same worldview.
It is a self-perpetuating disaster - only interruptible by Grace from without.
