“Manufacturing” Deleted From Newspeak Dictionary

It is no longer politically acceptable to use the word “manufacturing.” This official Newspeak Dictionary deletion comes from on high. Presenting Rep Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Ranking Member on the Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee:

In order to socially engineer more desirable demographics, manufacturing will henceforth be referred to as “womanufacturing.”

“Chief” Deleted From Newspeak Dictionary

The word “chief” now constitutes thoughtcrime. It has been struck from the Newspeak Dictionary by an Expert, Dr. Dori Tunstall of the California Institute of the Arts:

Tunstall is also head of her advocacy organization, Dori Tunstall Inc., which is “dedicated to decolonizing and diversifying institutional processes.” She refuses to use the term “chief executive officer,” instead opting for “Lead Executive Officer” on her Instagram biography, where she invites others to “ask why we don’t say chief.”

Don’t ask. It will just start her sputtering about how the word somehow insults Amerindians.

However, according to Liberty University linguistics professor Dr. Jaeshil Kim: “The word chief comes from the Old French chef, meaning ‘leader’ or ‘head,’” and “[t]he term was applied to Native American leaders by European settlers, aligning with their existing use of the word for leaders in other societies.”

She concluded that the term “Chief Executive Officer” signifies “its original meaning of leadership and authority without direct reference to Native American cultures.”

Well then, the word offends transgender kindergartners. Or maybe it causes climate change. The important thing is that you are not allowed to say “chief.” The very arbitrariness of liberal language restrictions is the whole point — namely, to show who is boss.

The Kansas City Chiefs got what they deserved yesterday for being thought criminals.

Draining Swamp Is Five-Alarm Fire

Normally, the Newspeak Dictionary gets ever thinner as moonbats limit our ability to think by limiting our vocabulary. However, sometimes a new term is added. Introducing five-alarm fire, which can be defined as “a person or event seen as an obstruction by progressives.”

Agents are experiencing “terror” because cleaning up the FBI before it could finish deteriorating into an American KGB is a five-alarm fire:

So is asking for accountability from USAID, which has been shoveling massive amounts of our money at other countries:

Chuck Todd has joined Jim Acosta and Chris Wallace among the Democrat propagandists who have been flushed out of the mainstream media recently as it struggles to restore credibility and relevance. He agrees that DOGE leader Elon Musk is a walking five-alarm fire:

You just heard Chuck Todd accuse another person of helping to “destroy the trusted information ecosystem.” The lack of self-awareness among moonbats is absolute.

Newspeak Dictionary Update: Nontransgender

Postmodern liberals manipulate language to abnormalize normality and thereby impose depravity as the new normality. To this end, a new term has been deployed against people who do not imagine themselves to be members of the opposite sex: “nontransgender.”

Via Western Journal:

In an appearance Tuesday on the long-running left-wing daily news show “Democracy Now!” with co-host Amy Goodman, American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Chase Strangio, a woman pretending to be a man, blasted President Donald Trump’s executive orders and — in a prime illustration of transgender activists employing muddled language to conceal truth — used the phrase “non-transgender women” to describe the adult females whom, since the inception of our species, human beings have recognized as one of two sexes.

After social engineers have switched normal and abnormal in the name of LGBTism, this bearded lady will pass as a regular guy:

Don’t be surprised if she changes her name to Chase Normalio.

Unusual Newspeak Dictionary Update From NY Times

A top national priority is to end birthright citizenship, which is allowing the rest of the planet to bleed the USA dry via the welfare state. Sneak over the border or come in as a tourist or student, drop a baby, and presto: lips are affixed to the public teat on an intergenerational basis. As a devoted enemy of the United States, the New York Times is alarmed that Trump will try to put an end to this insanity. But Times propagandists distract from their own message with some unusual language:

Although prominent liberals like Ketanji Brown Jackson cannot define the word “woman,” it is used here to mean “adult human female.” Terms like “chest-feeder” and “person who menstruates” are usually preferred.

The term “unborn child” is particularly jarring, as according to liberal ideology the concept is an oxymoron. If a child has not been born, it is not a child, but a nonhuman clump of cells. To think otherwise would be to acknowledge abortion as cold-blooded murder.

The lesson here for those who want to avoid straying into thought crime is that context matters. A woman can be a woman if she is also an illegal alien put upon by Donald Trump. An unborn child can be an unborn child if it will help the woman onto the welfare and Democrat voter rolls.

Using Newspeak Dictionary to Eradicate Christianity

The sort of moonbats who run Britain find Christianity “offensive.” Consequently, Sutton Council has erased the term “Christian name” from the Newspeak Dictionary.

Via Modernity:

A council in South London has instructed staff to stop using the term ‘Christian name’ and instead use ‘forename’, reasoning that it could offend some people.

We used to think of tyrants as hard cases. These days, tyranny is imposed by faceless legions of squishy-soft mollusks who bully under the banner of hypersensitivity:

The [council’s inclusive language] guide states that use of “incorrect” or “outdated” language can “perpetuate, contribute to, or cause bias, prejudice and discrimination” in addition to “hurt and offence when discussing other personal attributes”.

The morpheme “man” is also deemed problematic:

[The guide] asks that gendered language be avoided, for example “workforce” should be used rather than “manpower” and “chair” should be used instead of “chairman”.

Almost as dangerous as gendered language are ageist terms:

It also encourages workers to “actively avoid ageist terms such as ‘elderly’, ‘OAPs’, ‘pensioners’ or ‘youngsters’” and to steer clear of age-specific terms such as “mature workforce” or “young and vibrant team”.

Fundamental to leftism is the postmodern notion that those in charge can recreate reality according to their specifications by controlling language. In the artificial world social engineers are trying to impose, we are all the same age and of indeterminate gender. Christianity does not exist.

Bureauweenies Wage War on the Word “Squaw”

Phoenix’s iconic Squaw Peak — which moonbats have referred to since 2008 by its current government name, “Piestewa Peak” — will regrettably have company across the state line:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2022 signed a bill into law that bans use of the word “squaw” in future place names and ordered the agency rename all places that used the term, including on streets, bridges, public buildings and cemeteries, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. …

The California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names will work to implement approved replacement names by Jan. 1.

Why are we forbidden from saying the word “squaw”? Just because. The very arbitrariness is the reason. Every time someone says “Piestewa Peak” instead of “Squaw Peak,” they are bending the knee to liberals as their lords and masters. Tribal leaders play along out of habitual crybullying.

Speaking of Squaw Peak, until recently various trailheads near this popular mountain were named after Indian tribes: Apache, Navaho, et cetera. But this was changed, because per woke doctrine Indians have to be erased like the Land O’Lakes butter squaw so that no one offends them by acknowledging them as part of Americana. Acknowledging the South is also forbidden; consequently, nearby Dixie Peak now has the government name “Two Bit Peak.”

This moonbattery is also imposed at the federal level:

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland also moved in 2021 to rename any geographic features or location names on federal lands that use “squaw,” including dozens in California.

Redundancy is a defining feature of Big Government.

Musk and Ramaswamy had better hit the ground running. They have a lot a work to do, if the bloat is so bad that bureauweenies are overpaid with our money to impose their ideology by deleting harmless words from the Newspeak Dictionary.

Newspeak Dictionary Addition: Theydy

Normal progress entails terms being deleted from the Newspeak Dictionary, with the ultimate objective of reducing us to subservient grunts. But sometimes a new word is added. Introducing theydy:

It would be hard not to agree that she isn’t a lady.

As David Thompson suggests, this helps explain why résumés with alternative pronouns are wisely ignored.

Men Erased in UN Newspeak Dictionary Updates

Thanks to social engineers, women are undergoing erasure. By the time they are done pruning the Newspeak Dictionary, there won’t be such a thing as men either.

The Daily Mail reports that the word “Englishman” has been banned:

The Geneva-based World Intellectual Property Organisation – which protects trademarks and patents globally – has also vetoed masculine terms including ‘forefathers’ and ‘brother­hood of man’.

The World Intellectual Property Organisation is yet another tentacle of the comical yet malevolent black hole for US taxpayer money called the United Nations.

Even ‘man’s best friend’ has been blacklisted – with ‘a faithful dog’ to be used instead.

WIPO’s Guidelines on Inclusive Language explain that “masculine-specific” terms might constitute microaggressions by suggesting that “women are not represented in certain groups or do not possess certain skills.” Yet you are not allowed to say “waitress” or “midwife” either, since women are getting erased too.

As Toby Young of the Free Speech Union observes,

“Banning certain words and phrases to advance a dogmatic political ideology is a hallmark of totalitarianism.”

It will all be much simpler when liberal utopia is achieved. Then permissible vocabulary will be reduced to a sheeplike bleating noise.

Son and Daughter Deleted From Newspeak Dictionary

According to the postmodern doctrine of modern liberalism, what we call reality is a social construct that can be arbitrarily altered by compelling changes to language. The objective of this ideology is to destroy society at the most fundamental level. That’s why they relentlessly attack the family and the gender binary. It’s why bureauweenies in Vermont have deleted “son” and “daughter” from the Newspeak Dictionary:

Vermont public health officials are encouraging teachers and parents to ditch the phrases “son” and “daughter” this back-to-school season in the name of classroom equity.

“Use ‘child’ or ‘kid’ instead of ‘daughter’ or ‘son,’” reads an Inclusive Language for Families document published Wednesday on Facebook by the Vermont Department of Health.

When Big Government takes over healthcare, it is no longer about health; it is about health equity. That is, it is about moonbattery:

The inclusive language guide is part of the department’s initiative for health equity, the central pillar of the state’s five-year strategic plan for health improvement.

If the notion of a 5-year plan sounds familiar, you are probably thinking of the Soviet Union — or maybe I should be more specific and say the original Soviet Union, where these plans were imposed to radically transform Russian society. Looks like they will serve a similar purpose in the second Soviet Union progressives are inflicting in place of America.

Newspeak Dictionary Erases Both Men and Women

It is not only women that moonbat social engineers want to eradicate; they are canceling all things masculine too. Consider Newcastle University’s latest edition of the Newspeak Dictionary:

Newcastle University suggests the avoidance of “patronising and gendered terms” such as “girls, pet or ladies” in a guide on inclusive language aimed at researchers.

Being inclusive also requires excluding any reminders that men were once masculine. The terms “man up” and “grow some balls” comprise thoughtcrime because they “are incredibly sexist phrases.”

They would cut to the chase and forbid any vocalization other than a sheeplike bleating noise, but if they didn’t make regular updates to the Newspeak Dictionary, educrats would have nothing to do with their time.

Church of England Drops the Word Church

Refreshing honesty from the moonbat-subverted Church of England. It is dropping the pretense of still being a church:

The Church of England is increasingly dropping the word “church” in favour of “relevant and modern-sounding” descriptions such as “community”, a new study suggests.

The Anglican church appears to be increasingly avoiding the word “church” when discussing the creation of new worshipping communities and congregations, a report has found.

Update your copy of the Newspeak Dictionary. The word “church” has been deprecated.

Humanitarian Entrants

The latest new vocabulary term in the Newspeak Dictionary is “humanitarian entrant.” This might be defined as “an illegal alien upon whom Democrats are showering your money”:

PRUCOL stands for “permanent residence under color of law.” It pertains only to free money eligibility, not to actual immigration status. Moochers from abroad can be illegal aliens and still have PRUCOL status.

What’s the difference between “undocumented people” (i.e., foreign invaders acknowledged to be in the USA illegally), PROCUL people, and “humanitarian entrants”? You would have to ask one of the termites comprising the federal bureaucracy.

Democrats didn’t like it when slavery was abolished in this country the century before last. So they instituted a new form of slavery, via the welfare state. You work so that “humanitarian entrants” from other countries don’t have to.
