A Brand-New Microaggression REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

 

 

From March 17, 2018

This would be comic relief if it weren’t also a tragic waste of money and a crime against sanity.

At Simmons College, Boston, a women’s college, students have been warned that saying “God bless you” when someone sneezes is–you guessed it–a microaggression. Bad, bad, bad! What you haven’t guessed, probably because you’re not a lunatic, is that this particular microaggression is classified as “anti-Islamomisia.” Ooh! It is, the college declares, “an assumption of one’s own religion as the norm.”

It goes along with other newly-invented thought crimes: anti-transmisia, anti-ableism, anti-sanism, anti-queermisia, etc. Do you know what any of those words mean? I don’t. Do you care? I don’t!

Once upon a time, at the Tower of Babel, God confounded the language of mankind.

Now we’re doing it ourselves.

Folks, what you’re paying for here is not education in any meaningful sense. It is the purposeful cultivation of rank idiocy.

Parents who love and respect their sons and daughters, and have any self-respect for their own hard work that earns the tuition money, don’t send them to these colleges.

I wonder what you have to do, to get a job as a “vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion” at a major university. Do you have to be an absolute idiot, or will they settle for a big fat dope?

At the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, the resident big fat dope is calling on all students to use, from now on, really silly words that other idiots made up, instead of ordinary English pronouns ( http://townhall.com/columnists/michaelbrown/2015/08/31/zis-is-what-i-call-social-madness-n2045757 ). This self-imposed Babel is supposed to do away with hateful, oppressive “binary gender” pronouns like “he” and “she” and replace them with “gender neutral” slop like “ze” and “xe,” “zirs” and “xyr,” or–I think I’ll stop now.

For this you run up $100,000 of student debt? For this you sit in a classroom for five of the best years of your life instead of being out in the real world, earning money and gaining experience?

This twaddle is supposed to reflect the newly-discovered “fact” that there are a great many genders rather than that crummy old male-and-female thing.

Which is a lie.

Here is a simple truth, easily acquired in any high school biology class, which you can trot out whenever you need to confound these people.

No matter what the surgeons do, no matter what kinds of chemicals are pumped into or out of the bloodstream, no matter what mannerisms he adopts, every single cell in Bruce Gender’s body remains forever male because it contains a Y-chromosome.

There is no such thing as a “transgendered person”. Period.

‘Christian Nationalism’ (Eh?)

Martin’s essay goes deeper than mine.

Lately we’ve been hearing a lot about “Christian Nationalism.” See Martin Selbrede’s essay in Arise and Build.

https://chalcedon.edu/resources/articles/a-stone-cut-without-hands

I would like to present, for what it’s worth, my opinion.

*When He confounded the builders of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9), God gave us nations to protect us from any global government set up in emulation of, or in outright opposition, to Him.

*God’s laws, as given in Scripture, are binding on all nations.

*All too often we get nationalism without God’s laws.

*I believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ will return, as promised, and give us the only rightful world government that is possible: His.

*Until He does, His Kingdom is among us, spiritually–as He said (Luke 17: 20-21). We are waiting for it, all the while trying to live according to God’s Word.

I’m a little uncomfortable with the concept of “Christian Nationalism.” Christianity, after all, is a universal standard, certainly not particular to any nation. This fallen world has many nations which are not Christian. “One nation, under God” is not an easy thing to find, anywhere on earth.

But that doesn’t mean we should stop looking for it.

 

Tower of Babel–All Over Again

The tower that was supposed to reach to Heaven

The pipe-dream of global government is as old as sin itself.

In Genesis 11: 1-9, the proto-civilization, descendants of the survivors of the Great Flood, got together in the plain of Shinar to build a tower that would reach to Heaven.

Why? “[L]et us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.” And this was hubris. God countered their ambition by confounding their language, “that they may not understand one another’s speech.” And why did He do that? Because if He were to let it go, “now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Sounds just like globalism sounds today. This first time, the project fell through because the builders had lost the power to communicate.

Throughout history, would-be world empire builders relied on force to carry out their scheme. One after another, they rose and fell. But after the two world wars of the 20th Century, they replaced brute force with seduction. Now we’re told that a global government will bring us to Utopia.

As in the past, the globalists’ empire will grow to a certain point and then God will collapse it. Because there is only one Person with the right to rule the world: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, King of kings and Lord of lords. All the others are but thieves and porch-climbers.

How will the world state collapse? Folly and incompetence will do it.

“Ah, but man’s reach must exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” (Robert Browning) I am reminded of a very young child trying to take a plate out of a cabinet, just out of reach, and the whole mass of crockery crashing down to the counter. Sinners and fools will fare no better–no matter how much power we allow them.

The Bible counsels us, “Put not your trust in princes… in whom there is no help” (Psalm 146:3).

Yeahbut, yeahbut! Our princes are The Smartest People In The World! What could possibly go wrong?

The answer to that question will be painful.

The Tower of Babel–the first experiment in global government.

If you’re going to include within your country’s borders a whole raft of competing groups, some of which have a history of hating each other, there’s only two ways go go.

Either make everybody afraid to break the peace, in the face of the state’s overwhelming force; or everybody makes a commitment to the peace and order of the host country.

No Borders? No Country

What? You mean you can’t just wander into a country and then demand they give you free stuff and change their own country to make it more like the hell-hole you just left?

When God split the human race into nations (Tower of Babel, Genesis 11), He saved us from the horror of a world government. We should be thankful for that!

‘God’s Blessing: Nations’

When God (in Genesis 11) confounded human language and made it impossible to complete the Tower of Babel, it was seen by the human race as a punishment.

But it really was a blessing.

God’s Blessing: Nations

How ancient is the dream of global government! And imagine the mischief we’d get up to, if we ever had it. For all they do wrong, our nations are nevertheless a protection from crimes made infinitely worse by the power of government.

We can hardly be trusted with our own national governments. God knows what a world government would do to us.

“Grovel to your betters, plebs!”

God confounded human language to stop the construction of the Tower of Babel and to keep worse things from happening.

Today it’s our ruling sinners who confound the language… to ensure that worse things happen. 

The New Tower of Babel

“Gee, they must be smart! We can’t understand ’em when they talk!”

They dumb us down in school and college, groom us for our role as useful idiots to the Democrat Party, and only remember us around election-time. Or if they need to whip up a riot for some reason. Any reason.

We are governed by people who despise us and who intend to do us harm. George Washington called the force of government “a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

We need to get those Constitutional Checks and Balances back into shape.

‘Neo-Pronoun Lessons’–from CNN

Soon our language will mean nothing at all.

[This is the only nooze I’m going to do today–because I have two hymn requests to post, and I’m happy to do it. Also, Josh has made progress in finding someone to fix our car and the situation is no longer hopeless.]

CNN has taken time from its busy schedule to lecture its viewers on the use of “neo-prounouns” to avoid those dreaded “gender markers” that might offend idiots (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/08/cnn-lectures-people-use-neopronouns/). Huzzah. “Xe” and “em” and “zyr” etc., etc. Hey, maybe we can get a **Mandate** forcing us to use them!

The lessons are provided by the Human Rights Campaign–you have a “right” to compel other people to feed your delusion.

Gee, I thought “HRC” stood for “Hillary Rodham Clinton”! Ah, well, what’s the difference? One Far Left crazy’s the same as another.

And look at us, making our own new Tower of Babel!

What the Dickens Is ‘Keto’?

Word salad, anyone?

Do you want to be hip? Do you want to be cool? Well, just hop aboard the next new bandwagon that comes along… and there you are.

At the supermarket today, the PA system kept babbling about “loving your keto lifestyle.” I have no idea what that means. I thought at first that it might have something to do with Quito, Ecuador. But how do you acquire a Quito lifestyle if you’re not in Quito?

Criky. “Keto” came along a few months ago and now there’s a Keto lifestyle? Patty explained: it has to do with eliminating carbohydrates from your diet. Doesn’t sound like an altogether good idea, but that’s fad diets for you.

I refuse to add any of these newly-minted twaddles to my lexicon. If you can’t express it in a real language–English, Spanish, Welsh, whatever–it’s most unlikely you have anything worthwhile to say.

We seem to be reconstructing the Tower of Babel, complete with a confusion of the language so that those who participate can’t meaningfully communicate anymore.

But that’s OK. A new global government will take care of everything.

Gender-Neutral Pronouns: How To Use "Xe/Xem," "They/Them," and More | Them

Is this 100% per crapola, or what?

When they sought to build a tower reaching up to heaven, God confounded human language, breaking it up into hundreds of mutually unintelligible languages. This prevented the formation of a world government.

Now leftids confound our language as a step toward world government!

Because hopelessly confused people who can’t express themselves coherently are easier to control.

The Libs’ Tower of Babel

My old alma mater, Rutgers University, advises students “Just shut up!” because, after all, there’s really no such thing as free speech. But if you do talk, they want to make sure you babble idiotically. All those new pronouns, including “they” for “he” or “she,” were only invented to mess up your brain.

O Lord our God, deliver us!
