How Words are Weaponised to Destroy the West
In the US, the words “mother” and “father” are being removed from Massachusetts’ family law to “be more inclusive to LGBTQ+ parents.” The Massachusetts Parentage Act, set to take effect next year, replaces gender-specific terms with gender-neutral phrases like “the person who gave birth” and “other parent.” The legislation, which impacts birth certificates, child custody, and surrogacy, has garnered support from big business abortion provider Planned Parenthood and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups such as GLAAD. Deputy Governor Kim Driscoll praised the Act for pushing aside “outdated norms,” while Senate President Karen Spilka declared that “archaic beliefs and laws no longer stand in your way as a parent.”
The new law replaces man and woman with “persons” and swaps several references to paternity with “parentage.” This is not the first US state to this, Connecticut in 2022 cancelled mother and father and replaced them with “birth parent” and “non-birth parent.”
Hop over the pond to the UK and we learn there are already similar policies to combat the word-crimes. Last year, Somerset Council removed all references to women or mothers from a council document on pregnancy and maternity. In the interest of “inclusivity,” Somerset Council has replaced feminine nouns and pronouns with gender-neutral terms throughout its New and Expectant Parents Policy. North of the border in Scotland where the crusade is often the fiercest, a male GP in 2023 was refused from donating blood to the Scottish NHS because he refused to answer the question, “are you pregnant?”. Admittedly this example is less about the exact use of words but it’s easy to spot this comes from the same playbook on how to blur fact from ideologically-driven fiction.
How to recognise Language Lockdown – cancelling language in 5 Easy Steps
The strategy employed goes something like this:
- 1. Pit one against the other
Firstly, a scenario is created that pits a seemingly disadvantaged group against another. The actual nature of the group doesn’t matter as the outcome is to sow discord so that Elites, typically from intelligentsia or socialist sets can deconstruct Western heritage and then step in to seize control. In this case, heterosexual biological mothers and fathers, and those who hold to millennia-old norms of a mother is a female and a father is a male, are pitted against same sex partners who want to parent children.
- 2. Flip right and wrong and package it in an ideology
An ideology is developed alongside the scenario such that right and wrong are flipped. Good becomes evil, evil becomes good, bitter becomes sweet etc. In this example, the old “good” is now declared as bad as is hinders the wants and desires of other people. Subversively put, if you do not embrace the new thinking, you are standing in the way of others. Plus, you are “outdated” and your beliefs are “archaic”. As is so often with modern Marxist faked realities, no one is standing in the way of anyone. Mothers and fathers are not physically preventing same sex partners from parenting. It is an illusion.
- 3. Dictate the approved words, cancel the competition
Permitted words are developed (birthing parent, non-birthing parent), cancelled words are banned (mother and father).
- 4. Insist that all subscribe
If you do not subscribe to the new ideology, you are made to feel you are wrong. A bad person…even a hateful person. Neutrality of belief in the ideology is not permitted, you must unreservedly embrace the new position. 99% adherence is not enough.
- 5. Formulate the language into policy and enforce
The Long March to Freedom (see link to Insight below) is used to enshrine the new faked realities into policies as a means of ensuring subscription by force. Nationwide laws are passed, educational facilities expel students for non-adherence, the police make arrests, healthcare institutions sack those who dare to say otherwise. Fear and intimidation are the swords and shields with which the militants march.
Language cancellation – fighting back
To fight back against this cancel-culture, we encourage individuals to resist the pressure to self-censor by standing up for open dialogue. Rather than retreating into silence, people can engage in respectful, civil conversations to challenge the insanity. We at What in the World is Going On truly believe that you have the privileged upper hand because the new ideologies are not based on sound reason. The arguments offer hope for false promises that have never delivered in the past, and when dissected under the scrutiny of fact, are riddled with holes. In the West, our worldview is still governed by reason and logic, therefore, conduct discourse within that framework.
