Fields are where some slaves worked in the early nineteenth century. Consequently, the word “field” has been struck from the Newspeak Dictionary by the University of Southern California:

USC’s Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work said the change was critical to support anti-racist social work and inclusivity.

If you want to see how moonbatty moonbattery can get, a school of social work in California would be good place to start.

The department specifically decided to remove the word “field” from its curriculum and replace it with “practicum,” according to the letter, which was dated Jan. 9 and shared to Twitter.

Before long, moonbats will speak a separate dialect, consisting entirely of stilted terms like “practicum.” As it becomes increasingly incomprehensible to normal Americans, it will qualify as a foreign language.

The letter continued: “Language can be powerful, and phrases such as ‘going into the field’ or ‘field work’ maybe have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign.”

Belief in the power of language is at the core of the moonbat religion. It is grounded in postmodernism, which explicitly deprecates reality in favor of a contrived pseudo-reality created by language in order to achieve power. This is the reason the Newspeak Dictionary gets shorter each day.

USC says they are joining other universities across the nation in making changes to their institution to “honor and acknowledge inclusion and reject white supremacy, anti-immigrant and anti-blackness ideologies.”

Social work isn’t about social work any more than universities are about learning. Everything controlled by leftists is about ideology.

Eric Utter wonders how far the thought police will take the new ban on the word “field”:

If “field” is verboten, we will have to rename baseball positions and parks. No more “center field” or “Wrigley Field,” etc. Football’s “field goal” will have to give way to a different term. Entire cities must be renamed. So much for “Bakersfield” and “Springfield,” for example. And, sorry Mrs. Fields, but your cookie outlets will have to be rebranded. Hope the cost of doing so isn’t prohibitive, but, racism, you know. The Beatle’s iconic “Strawberry Fields Forever?” Ash heap of history. Maybe “Strawberry Practicum Forever.”

Maybe old uses of the word “field” will be grandfathered in, like the forbidden word in United Negro College Fund.

Moonbats are not above exploiting African orphans or corrupting children, so no one should be surprised by the phenomenon of people with Down syndrome being paraded before degenerate audiences as drag queens and drag kings like Justin Bond.

Raves ebulliently approving Mashable:

Bond belongs to a wildly popular formerly underground troupe of British drag queens and kings with Down Syndrome, known as “Drag Syndrome.” Since the group’s first performance close to a year ago, Drag Syndrome has since exploded in popularity, with performances all throughout the United Kingdom and Northern Europe and an American tour in the works, the group’s creative director Daniel Vais told Mashable.

Vais enthuses that people with Down syndrome “can actually watch porn” and “have the dreams and aspirations of anybody else.”

The concept of the freakshow has been taken to a new extreme of bad taste. Vais is triumphant:

“The event fully sold out,” Vais says. “And while we were performing it, the audience came up to me and said, ‘This is revolutionary. This is history happening here. The artists that performed it did such a good job.’ The audience realized we were doing something out of this world.”

Unfortunately, they are doing something very much of this world — or at least of what this world is degenerating into.

On the positive side, this might provide progressive parents with a reason not to kill kids with Down syndrome.

Now that objective reality has been subordinated to moonbattery, you can change your gender. You can change your race. Why not change your species? A Knotty Princess might be able to get back on OnlyFans by declaring herself to be a dog:

A woman who had been posting sexually explicit content to OnlyFans claims she has been banned from the platform after users reported her for bestiality. …

Though she denies that there is “proof” that she has engaged in sex with dogs, several recent tweets posted to her account suggest otherwise. “I have made a decision to come out. … I have been with 6 dogs this past year and only 2 men my entire life,” she wrote on Jan. 2. A few days later, she compared herself favorably to those who go “trophy hunting animals”: “You bring animals deaths , I bring them orgasms. I’m a better alternative.”

A Knotty Princess is only slightly ahead of her time:

Gina Florio of Evie Magazine characterized Knotty Princess’ content as “degenerate in nature” and argued that it comes as a direct result of the American culture’s emphasis on tolerance. “When a society claims that tolerance is the most important characteristic in our culture,” Florio stated, “we will end up tolerating anything,” including bestiality.

By “tolerance,” she means “liberal tolerance,” which often equates to degeneracy. Actual tolerance has been rare since moonbats achieved dominance. Fail to conform to the ideology of the progressive ruling class and you are likely to be canceled. Those belonging to disfavored identity groups are regarded as unworthy to hold opinions.

American Society is catching up with A Knotty Princess:

Content creator @bodittle has interviewed several people at LGBTQ events who have voiced support for bestiality in the name of acceptance. A video posted to his Instagram account in November shows a woman wearing pride-themed attire who claims she began watching porn “at, like, 8 years old” affirming bestiality for those who “want” to participate in it.

Bestiality would be an unsurprising progression from the mainstreaming of homosexuality, if not as inevitable as pedophilia.

“If that’s what you want,” she states tautologically, “then that’s what you want.”

That tautology isn’t much of a jump from the dog-eared Democrat bumper sticker slogan “Love is love.”

A Knotty Princess identifies as “TransCanine,” tweeting the following:

Human men can kiss me feet. I am TransCanine. I can’t have sex with anything that isn’t Canine. It’s actually bestiality for me to have sex with human men.

However, she has admitted that she is not actually a dog:

“Please just remember,” she wrote on Jan. 7. “I lost my job because of you guys. And now you guys got me removed off onlyfans. Just let me have this one thing. I want to have a nice life. Sharing my links with negativity harms me. Just remember, I’m a human too. I have feelings.”

Although identifying as a dog might exculpate her on the bestiality charge, the surest bet is to identify as a victim.

Left-wing elitists consider themselves far more sophisticated than you or me. Yet their mentality is on a par with that of barefoot savages who quiver with fear of angering weather gods. Consider Ellen DeGenerate:

According to liberal superstition, all weather phenomena are caused by anthropogenic global warming. As soon as it stops raining, moonbats will go back to barking that we caused California to be characterized by drought by not driving electric cars.

If Bruce Jenner is a woman, then pop singer Gwen Stefani is Japanese:

While speaking about her now-controversial Harajuku Lovers fragrance line, which launched in 2008, and frequent use of Japan’s subculture over the years, the singer, 53, raised eyebrows as she repeatedly insisted she was Japanese.

The controversy comes from the sin against political correctness that is cultural appropriation. The rest of the world is entitled to things created by white people — electricity, flight, the Internet, modern agriculture, modern medicine, et cetera. But whites are forbidden to embrace anything that is nonwhite in origin, because according to liberal ideology, white people are racist and therefore bad.

In the past, Stefani has been denounced for wearing dreadlocks, thereby culturally appropriating from blacks.

Despite having no ethnic ties to the country as the daughter of an Italian-American father and Irish-American mother, the performer claimed to identify as part Asian.

A little wackiness is to be expected with entertainers. At least she is less crazy than liberal establishment ideology. She asks:

“[It] should be okay to be inspired by other cultures because if we’re not allowed then that’s dividing people, right?”

It is not okay, because the point of cultural Marxism (a.k.a. political correctness) is to implement a divide and conquer strategy on behalf of the oligarchical collectivist ruling class.

Kudos to Stefani for drawing attention to this, and for choosing a race that generally doesn’t get extra privileges for failing and then wailing about oppression. But she still joins the list of racial imposters for claiming to be Japanese instead of embracing what she really is, even if she probably never meant us to take her literally.

Our rulers have decreed that the CO2 required for plants to live makes the weather too warm. They have called for zero emissions. Pursing this objective is difficult when it comes to air travel. At least we have aviation biofuels:

A much-hyped but yet-to-be-completed aviation biofuels refinery in southern Oregon appears to be headed for foreclosure after backers failed to make principal and interest payments on some $300 million in debt.

Red Rock Biofuels launched efforts nearly a decade ago to build the cutting-edge facility in Lakeview but repeatedly ran into obstacles, even as project skeptics questioned its feasibility.

Feasibility is not usually a prime concern when it comes to green energy. Since we cannot possibly prevent the climate from fluctuating anyway, it is the noble intentions that count.

The project has now accrued an additional $56 million in interest owed to private investors who bought bonds to fund the project…

This is why so much green energy investment is by the federal government rather than private. When the feds run low on cash because green energy is not economically viable, they can just print some more.

Not that taxpayers aren’t taking it on the chin too:

Its development was supported by a $75 million funding award from the Department of Defense; fuel purchase commitments from FedEx and Southwest Airlines; more than $2 million in infrastructure improvements funded by the town of Lakeview and Business Oregon; and about $300 million in tax-exempt economic development bonds issued in 2018 through the state of Oregon.

Some saw the disaster coming:

Skeptics have long maintained that it was a technological unicorn, relying on a fuel production process developed in the 1920s in Germany that has never been successfully deployed at scale.

Gary Hughes of Biofuelwatch weighs in:

“We don’t think it’s feasible,” he said of the Red Rock project. “Someone may come in and try and keep it going, but in our view they’d be just trying to access more public money.”

That’s the game, all right. It helps to be a Democrat donor. Those involved are advised to donate to Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who says he supports the project because it will prevent the climate from changing.

Red Rock Biofuels [was] touted as an economic home run for the remote southern Oregon town and an environmental boon for the aviation industry, which has long sought a means to reduce its massive carbon footprint.

Anyone who thinks of green energy as economically beneficial needs to lay off the Kool-Aid.

As for the aviation industry reducing its harmless carbon footprint, I have a more practical idea. Why don’t we capture a UFO and persuade the aliens to tell us how they make their vehicles go?

There is no basic component of our lives so innocuous that moonbats won’t ban it mainly because they can. The petty tyranny starts in Petri dishes of wokeism like Berkeley, where authoritarians banned gas hookups in new buildings as of 2020. It moves on to blue states like California, which is banning gas-powered furnaces and water heaters by 2030, and New York, which is coercively phasing out gas heating. With Democrats in power, it soon goes nationwide, potentially moving beyond harassment actions like the recent stealth tax on natural gas to a federal ban on gas stoves — although it looks like the Regulatory State may hold off for now on confiscating politically incorrect stoves currently in use:

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission backtracked on claims it was considering banning all gas stoves across the United States over health concerns.

Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said that potential regulations would only ‘apply to new products’ in a tweet Monday. ‘CPSC isn’t coming for anyone’s gas stoves. Regulations apply to new products,’ he added.

At least we don’t have to worry about heavily armed FBI agents showing up to confiscate our current stoves as dinner cooks. We just won’t be able to buy new ones.

Progressives borrowed this approach from a similarly totalitarian ideology, Islam. Mohammad allowed Christian churches to exist in the territory he conquered. But construction of new churches was forbidden.

If the name Trumka sounds familiar, that’s because Richard Trumka Sr was a left-wing labor leader. Big Government has as incestuous a relationship with Big Unions as it does with Big Media; all are run by power-hungry Democrats.

In his backtrack Monday, Trumka added that people who choose to switch to electric stoves would receive an $840 rebate due to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

Only Democrats would pretend to reduce inflation by printing increasingly worthless money to hand out for free. If a private company were run by people this economically inept, it would go bankrupt within a month.

Democrats have it in for natural gas because it is a cheap, abundant, clean-burning fossil fuel. Energy must be expensive so as to lower our standard of living, because people are harder to rule when they aren’t focused on just trying to survive. This is what drives the global warming hoax, and is probably the impetus behind recent claims that the gas stoves we have been using for generations could cause higher rates of asthma and even cancer.

As always with moonbats, the jihad against gas stoves has a cultural Marxist component. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep Don Beyer (D-VA) sent a letter to the CPSC last month demanding action against gas stoves due to the “cumulative burden on black, Latino and low-income households that disproportionately experience air pollution.”

More to the point, low-income households are disproportionately affected by unnecessary regulations that raise the cost of household appliances. Rather than banning stoves, people should be encouraged to turn on the range hood for proper ventilation.

Trumpka told Bloomberg gas stoves were a ‘hidden hazard,’ and added that ‘any option is on the table’ and ‘products that can’t be made safe can be banned.’

Next, they will announce that forks must be phased out so that you don’t poke yourself in the eye with one.

What is it about do-gooder moonbats and their ostensibly benevolent intentions? They always seem to lead to evil:

The Ethiopian World Federation has gone to Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera in order to ask that he investigate “’homosexual and transgender’ allegations over the adoption of the Malawian children for possible ‘human trafficking and social experiments.’” At the center of the controversy is the American “Queen of Pop,” Madonna, her charity, Raising Malawi, and the woke icon’s exploitation of Malawian authority and its most vulnerable children. The Federation is asking that President Chakwera “restrict her and her associates’ accessibility to Africa and to African children as a precautionary measure until a thorough investigation is done into child trafficking, sex exploitation, sexual slavery, adoption reversal, threat of coercion, fraud, deception and abuse of power or vulnerability.” …

Madonna, who boasted that her son whom she adopted from Malawi looks better in her clothes than she does, was the center of controversy in 2006 for barging into the East African country (in a private jet to boot), “stepping outside of normal procedures,” and using her fame, money and “privilege” to gain access to Malawi’s orphanages and adopt Malawian children.

Madonna is not above exploiting blacks to burnish her woke image.

She was an avid supporter and participant in the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, even attending a demonstration on crutches as she recovered from an injury.

The War on Police spearheaded by Black Lives Matter has caused violent crime to explode in black neighborhoods.

The Ethiopian World Federation petition states of Madonna that the “psychology behind her ability to release child pornography, religious imagery, bestiality and vulgar pornography has prompted her to open an orphanage in Malawi named ‘Raising Malawi’ in 2006 to host social experiments on vulnerable African children in Malawi.”

Vulnerable blacks are being oppressed by a colonizer. Why don’t I hear a deafening roar?

While Madonna is now being investigated for the horrors of exploiting and corrupting black children in Malawi, the usual voices that are quick to levy charges of racism, colonialism, white privilege and the like are notably silent.

Only fake oppression arouses progressive ire. While elitists fret about microaggressions,

Victims including African children, women abused under the Sharia, Nigerian Christians ravaged by genocide, women who have been exploited by transgender men in sports and raped by men who identify as women, are being systematically ignored.

Entertainment icons are the essence of phoniness; they make their $millions by monetizing postures. Unsurprisingly, they are drawn to phony ideologies, which is why virtually all of them are moonbats.

In a dystopia, everything gets turned upside down and backward. For example, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, book-burning firemen start fires rather than put them out. Another example is Canada under moonbat rule, where suicide hotlines help you commit suicide:

MAID (medical assistance in dying) has now grown so popular that Canada has both anti-suicide hotlines to try and stop people killing themselves, as well as pro-suicide hotlines for people wanting to end their lives.

More upside-down backwardism:

Obstetrician Stefanie Green … revealed that she’s helped 300 people die in Canada’s controversial MAID program…

She uses the term ‘deliveries’ to describe both her work helping women give birth – and people end their lives.

If helping the mentally ill to pretend they are members of the opposite sex can be called “gender affirmation,” why can’t ushering people into death instead of life be called a delivery?
