Ministry of Truth Just Kidding Update - 19 Jan 2024 - Tree Poaching

 

Tree Poaching

Illegal killing of climate friendly (old-growth) trees, especially for profit.  This genocidal obliteration of the forests is very concerning, as it may lead to complete deforestation of the planet.  The scourge of forest crime must be combated with investments in cameras, motion detectors, and various other technologies to catch poachers in the act, before it is too late.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 18 Jan 2024 - Victim-blaming

 

Victim-blaming

Morally insensitive acts of attributing culpability to the injured party of crimes or terrible abuse.  Examples include: blaming women for their rape, claiming victims aggravated their abusers, accusing abductees of Stockholm syndrome, saying crying babies deserved their mutilation and murders, or rationalizing poor judgment in protesting for equity at a biker rally.  However, since oppressors can never be victims, they take full blame for anything bad that happens to themselves, their spouses, or their children.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 17 Jan 2024 - Team Disunity

 

Team Disunity

Bigoted biologically-based boycotts of sporting events, resulting in minimal (or even single person) non-biological woman teams.  While they claim to be standing together for the integrity of their sport, that their feelings and safety concerns are being ignored, that they are experiencing unfair competition and recognition, that they are stressed out, and that they are seeing special treatment for some during practice (e.g. being "in heat" because of hormone treatments).  They wrongly want to protect their sisters, their future daughters, and the next generation of athletes, but they are actually selfishly driving the remaining teammates to suicide and exclusion from sports they love.

Gerontocracy

The oldest generation is best suited to retain power over newcomers, even if they are less reliably socialist/communist.  Experience and seniority trumps competency, as long as they can follow the directions of a good support system, and can reliably read from a teleprompter.  A figurehead who represents progressive values, is better than a politician with ambitions and personal financial concerns.  After all, if they lasted this long in politics, they have earned our trust and devotion.

Windmills

 A symbol of conquest that denotes the mythological settlement of the American West, now embraced by the white Christian nationalist movement.  Its historically "innocent" pastoral identity is in reality a reminder of poverty, extermination, and despair for many.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 11 Jan 2024 - Segregation Bowl

 

Segregation Bowl

The National Football Slavery League (NFSL) is run by rich white men who exploit non-whites.  Recently some insufficiently compensated minority players have suggested having a partitioned exhibition game with "the best" all-White team possible against an all-Black team.  This would be cathartic, since obviously the inferior white team would be crushed and humiliated.  This will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that sports announcers of non-minority creeds, races, colors, or genders should not be allowed to give analysis on sports, because they are neither experts nor qualified to have opinions.  Details to be worked out include: what selection criteria to apply to players of mixed-race, those married to white partners, or who have conservative views.
