Ministry of Truth Just Kidding Update - 17 Jan 2025 - Exclusionary Bird Naming

 

Exclusionary Bird Naming

Offensive naming conventions with associations to the past that continue to be exclusionary and harmful today.  A much more inclusive naming structure and an engaging scientific process, crafted by a broad array of experts and bird lovers, is needed that focuses attention on the unique features and beauty of the birds themselves.  "Exclusionary naming conventions developed in the 1800s, clouded by racism and misogyny, don’t work for us today."

Ministry of Truth Timely Update - 17 Oct 2024 - Down is Up

 

Down is Up

The actual words used are less important than the intent.  The essence of Newspeak is that words are just tools to help influence the people to believe what they are told without question, even if it is seemingly contradictory to what they see.  So, for example, if one day they are told that crime is down, but it is really up, it doesn't matter as long as they willingly follow and support the policies of the government.  At their discretion, officials of the Ministry of Truth may revise or "correct" previously released statements.

Truth Month - July 2024 - Day 31 - Celebrate Truth, All the Time. All the Time, Celebrate Truth

 

Truth Month - July 2024


Day 31 -  Celebrate Truth, All the Time.  All the Time, Celebrate Truth

It is not currently popular to stand for the truth.  Relativism reigns and new destructive philosophies such as CRT, DEI, and radical social justice vie for dominance against traditional values.  Words are redefined to win arguments and influence morality without firing a shot.  Feelings and desires are now said to define reality, and rights are granted and revoked as the powerful find useful.  "My truth" and "my lived experience" carry far more weight than inconvenient objective truths.


All is not lost, but it all starts with YOU.  Don't give in to redefinitions of truth and what is good/evil.  Question their assumptions and ask them how they justify their claims, or how they came to their conclusions.  Refuse to use their language and the Orwellian Newspeak they use. 


I would encourage everyone to not just embrace real truth for a limited time, but rather to incorporate it into your core values and promote it daily.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 26 Mar 2024 - Bloodbath

 

Bloodbath

Flexible Newspeak terms are used to either accurately describe actions or policies of political opponents, or to alternatively impute their worst motives and intentions in using them, regardless of context.  So, for example, when "bloodbath" is used by enemies of Big Brother, this is an unacceptable term, since it is obviously a call to violence and insurrection.  The Ministry of Truth is entrusted with the responsibility to correctly guide and interpret the usage of Newspeak, and to punish violations thereof.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 07 Feb 2024 - Reporting Stylebook

 

Reporting Stylebook

The Ministry of Truth has published a guiding light for journalism which bans certain words and encourages journalists to be as precise and accurate as possible by using the approved Newspeak vocabulary.  For example, media influencers should reject descriptions such as "undocumented", because it is not precise (and is also harmful).  Such a person may have plenty of documents, just not the ones required for legal residence.  One should only use "illegal" to refer to an action, not a person, and should be cautious about describing people as having violated immigration laws without attribution. If required, they should describe how laws were violated and who determined the behavior to be unlawful.  Words matter!

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 06 Feb 2024 - Gender-sensitive Communication

 

Gender-sensitive Communication

The way we talk to others needs to be affirming and inclusive, according to the Institute for Gender Equality.  We must ban gendered phrases in all public discourse.  Examples include: "To boldly go where no man has gone before," "no man's land," or referring to inanimate objects (e.g. ships) with gendered names.  We need to move beyond a society where women are subject to invisibility or omission.  While opponents label this as absurd and utter madness, it is critical for societal progress, and violations should be punished appropriately.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 28 Dec 2023 - Misgendering

 

Misgendering

The fireable offense of failing to refer to a person by their chosen pronouns, even if the offender fanes ignorance.  There are no valid claims to freedom of conscience, nor religious defense, that supersedes the right of individuals to have their preferred pronouns validated by use.  Gender Identity and Non-Discrimination Guidance from the Ministry of Truth enshrines employee mental health rights and establishes protections related to gender identity.  This mandate fosters workplaces free of discrimination and harassment, by compelling right-think and crushing spoken dissent.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 19 Dec 2023 - Gender

 

Gender

Postmodern thought often requires words to be redefined to match the current zeitgeist.  For example, "gender" has now been deconstructed to better reflect the current views of the Ministry of Truth.  Whereas the old Objective truth views held gender to be grounded in biological sex, this has been replaced by the Subjective view of gender expression.  This better reflects the lived reality and spectrum of feelings found in modern society, instead of being grounded in inflexible definitions that no longer serve the progressive transformation of society.  To protect society from their contagion, those who insist on using the obsolete definitions will be punished for their thoughtcrime.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 05 Jun 2023 - Sports Fairness Research

 

Sports Fairness Research

Research studies must be conducted within equity guidelines to get acceptable results.  For instance, when conducting surveys on transgenderism in sports, use of the terms "male" or "female" could be viewed as a form of misgendering, and result in biased results.  The same would apply to questions about competitive advantages based on biological sex.  All research proposals need to be approved by official Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion committees.  This ensures the effectiveness of survey wording and that the presentation of the research does not conflict with established Truth outcomes.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 29 May 2023 - Trans-rhetoric

 

Trans-rhetoric

To control the narrative and transform society, appropriate Newspeak must be used when engaging in dialog or debate with opponents of the Ministry of Truth.  Newspeak is useful to distract from false definitions.  By forcing them to accept our words and definitions, then the debate is inevitably won. Some examples:
  • Puberty Blockers /  Cross-sex hormone treatments - instead use gender affirming (chemical) intervention or therapy, and remind them that this has been show to dramatically prevent suicides
  • Pre-teen Mastectomies / Castrations / other sex organ modifications - instead reiterate that assisted bodily transformations are necessary to support their gender journey and thereby prevent depression and mental health issues
  • Chemical Castration - instead point out that this prevents an unwelcome bodily change into something that they fundamentally are not
  • Gender Dysphoria - since it is actually NOT a mental disorder, instead use authentic gender identity
  • Minimum Age of Transition - remind them that studies have shown that even toddlers who show signs of questioned sexuality can benefit from early gender transitioning 
  • Genital Mutilation - deny that this happens, since surgical changes are always consensual, even if the patient is a minor
  • Pronouns - demand that they use the person's self-identified pronouns, even if viewed as biologically inaccurate or grammatically incorrect under patriarchal language systems, since we know that perceived gender trumps biology
  • Parental Rights - instead insist on calling it the human rights of the children to match their chosen identity regardless of adult opinions or attempts at control
  • Biological Sex - instead refer only to gender, and claim that science has established that binary sex is not real
  • Fairness in Women's Sports - instead point out "many" studies have shown that there are no significant advantages to trans-women in athletic competition.  Their self-affirmation and ground-breaking records speak for themselves.
  • Women's Safety, Privacy, and Security Concerns - instead scream "What about trans rights?", and claim hatred, bias, and discrimination for even mentioning it
  • Voluntary blinding, limb amputation, or spinal transections for Transabled people - don't even talk about it, instead ridicule the idea, and claim it never happens except in cases of mental illness and that no doctor would condone this practice.
