The left has the largest disconnect in my opinion. They hate capitalism but ignore it with pharma. They want bodily autonomy but are fine with forcing injections into others. These are not coherent positions!

I have electronic copies of all the Dr. Seuss books.
Book burning won't be allowed this time around. I can store every fucking book I could ever possibly read on an $20 device.

We have to exclude the right because they are not inclusive.

they treat us like worthless underlings
The Left is freaking out after journalists like Keith Olbermann and Aaron Rupar, are being held to the same standard as everyone else when it comes to doxxing.
But Sean Davis's of The Federalist has a great thread on the hypocrisy of those who only get upset when their team gets a penalty:

All we wanted was one set of rules. Rules that allowed us to say things like, "Men can't become women," or "universal mail-in balloting seems sketchy," or linking a New York Post story about the corrupt foreign business dealing's of a Democrat candidate's 50-year-old son. (1/x)
While we were feverishly fighting that battle, scores of court eunuchs on the Right joined hands with the Left and screeched about how Twitter and Facebook and Google can ban and censor whoever they want because muh private company and also because Trump is icky. (2/x)
When the New York Post, which was founded by Alexander Hamilton, was banned (along with anyone who shared its reporting on Hunter Biden), many of these same people shrugged at best or sided with the Left and its lies about NYP's reporting at worst. (3/x)
When the sitting president of the United States was banned from Twitter and Facebook after posting a video calling for peace and denouncing violence, the self-declared free speech warriors busted out their soapboxes and lectured on the propriety of Big Tech's censorship. (4/x)
The Babylon Bee ban, in which a Christian satire site was banned for calling a man a man, was also illustrative. Oh, sure it's troubling, they tut-tutted. Bu
t what can you do? Twitter's a private company, and also mocking insane trans ideology is mean. (5/x)
And then there's the ongoing, coordinated banning and shadow-banning of millions of normal people whose only crime is not going along with whatever narrative
is being jammed down the country's throat by the current regime. Where was the plea for fairness for them? (6/x)
Years and years of censorship of their own readers and contributors barely rated a yawn, but when suddenly a handful of left-wing journos get busted for doxx
ing that led to Musk's kid getting attacked? WELL NOW. Suddenly their principles require them to say something. (7/x)
When people describe conservatism as a defeat mechanism, or as progressivism driving the speed limit, this is what they are talking about. Standing athwart h
istory, yelling, "I'm not like those other icky people on the right. I'm one of the Good Ones™." (8/x)
Auron MacIntyre explains this phenomenon further:
Conservatives can't be the party of controlled opposition. Stop playing defense by letting the Left define reality.
Wow! China is ruled by a party that never apologizes! How unusual. China is so different from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the USA, right? Did NY Times ever apologize for lying about Covid, vaccines, and so on? Not that I remember. ...
I applaud Chinese people for wanting to keep Covid Criminals accountable. I am surprised that NY Times is so blind as not to see me, you, and thousands of people like us asking for Covid justice and reckoning right here.
We are crazy right-wing conspiracy theorists asking for Nuremberg 2.0. We do not deserve justice, accountability, reckoning, and apologies, according to NY Times and our censors.
The Chinese people, of course, do deserve apologies and reckoning, says NY Times.
We demand censorship and need to have misinformation stamped out, say NY Times censors while thanking the Biden administration for taking care of the social networks...

AmericanKulak That's great meme material. Had to abbreviate a bit to fit it in.
Pretty sure these easily spottable contradictions are by design in preparing people for the modern day 1984. The more people they can get to say "we're at war with Oceania!" just a few weeks after it was "we're at war with Eurasia!" the better for them, it means the conditioning is working. Never criticize your own government, always turn on the Emmanuel Goldsteins and foreign nations! This is full on orwellian npc shit.

In the book 1984, this was accomplished by destroying the past. That was the job of Winston Smith at the Ministry of Truth.
But what we have today, is the ability for any individual to store any amount of content, permanently. Winston Smith had a little diary, which was illegal. I have a little SD Card, which can contain more books than the NYC library.
True, but the majority of people do still get their newest from major outlets and they are drowned by the sheer amount of information so they don't do research and are happy to accept 180 degrees "course corrections" as truth. Even in 1984 people had the truth in their memories despite the erasing/altering of the past, but they were conditioned to truly believe that 2+2 can be 5.

There were 3 classes remember. The Proles - the lowest class, the Outer Party - the middle class, and The Inner Party - the upper class.
The slogans for the Inner Party are all correct and not contradictory. War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery. Provided the country was at war, the Inner Party had peace, provided that the Outer Party and Proles were Ignorant, the Inner Party had strength, provided the that Outer Party and Proles were slaves, the Inner Party h...
