Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 29 Nov 2023 - Cancelled Cartoons

 

Cancelled Cartoons

Political cartoons that exaggerate faults, mock character flaws, or satirize protected classes, like oppressed pro-liberation militants or Ministry-favored politicians, must be cancelled, preferably prior to publication.  The media outlets of the Ministry of Truth cannot allow such racist or divisive content to spread, exposing harmful mischaracterizations to the unsuspecting public.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 29 Nov 2023 - Baptisms

 

Baptisms

Public religious events, especially involving university students or staff, create a coercive and unconstitutional environment that excludes those students who don’t subscribe to the radical views being pushed.  These ongoing and repeated constitutional violations create an uncontrolled marketplace of ideas damaging to students' freedom from (unapproved) religious thought.  "To be free from religion is an advantage for individuals; it is a necessity for government." -  Ministry of Truth representatives.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 27 Nov 2023 - Prisoner Swap

 

Prisoner Swap

Unjustly detained citizens must be freed at any cost, including removing sanctions, delivering pallets of cash, or trading them for those wrongly claimed to be criminals and terrorists.  Big Brother will never negotiate with terrorists; he just strategically capitulates so that hopefully they will hate us less.  The value of "hostages" is based on their social equity and intersectionality score, damage to our foreign policy image, current terrorist exchange rates, business influence, and international gala invites. Sadly, these inequitable exchanges show that the lives of freedom fighters are viewed as less valuable than citizens of the powerful, by at least 3 to 1.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 23 Nov 2023 - Thanksgiving

 

Thanksgiving

A general sense of gratitude to whatever higher power (or yourself -- or even nothing) that you wish.  This is often associated with a colonial holiday which is neither inclusive nor equitable, since it is rooted in the abuse of native peoples.  Glutinously enjoying a Thanksgiving feast is an insult to all those less fortunate than yourself.  "How dare you" celebrate, while knowing that others can't share in your bounty.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 22 Nov 2023 - Switchboarding

 

Switchboarding

The practice of Big Brother's government officials merely relaying flagged social-media posts to social media platforms with the expectation that they will "do the right thing."  A leading example is the Ministry of Love agency, CISA (aka Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency).  CISA was able to use its frequent interactions with social-media platforms to push them to adopt more restrictive policies on censoring unapproved speech and misinformation. And CISA officials affirmatively told the platforms whether the content they had "switchboarded" was "True" or "False".  Note: The Ministry of Love is actively fighting the superficially neutral court system to maintain these productive interactions, which opponents falsely claim infringe on their "rights".

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 21 Nov 2023 - Sports Safety

 

Sports Safety

While the Ministry of Love understands sports participants' safety concerns, inclusion considerations simply trump claims of unsafety.  Representatives claimed, "We respect and understand the complexity and concerns that exist regarding student safety."  However, student safety should not be a valid reason to exclude students of any gender from participating on their preferred gender teams.  Injuries such as facial injuries requiring reconstruction, testicular damage, traumatic concussions, neck injuries, broken bones, and knee injuries are inevitable, but there is no credible evidence that these have increased because of opposite biological sex participants.
