Orwellian Outrage

The Times channels its inner Orwell:

The Times’ Orwellian Matthew Purdy adds that Pete Hegseth’s efforts to rid the Pentagon of the divisive and racist effects of Critical Race Theory are reminiscent of the bureaucrat in “1984” who “gleefully bragged that ‘we’re destroying words — scores of them, hundreds of them, every day.’” Remember, this is coming from the group that has destroyed a generation of schoolchildren’s understanding of what pronouns are and how they work by forcing us all to pretend that they were a matter of each individual’s own choosing. This is coming from the group that professes to revere the man who said he dreamed of the day when people would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin; now, Hegseth’s efforts to do just that are “Orwellian.” .... Yes, the left owns Orwellian, because leftists today are so exquisitely Orwellian. It is they, with their felonious Trump, their fake insurrection, and their equally fake women, who are demanding that we affirm that two plus two equals five, just because the party says so. The New York Times, in trying to shore up the left’s sagging narrative, only reminds us yet again who are the real enemies of freedom, and, indeed, enemies of the people.

Will the real Orwellians please stand up...
