Video: Stanford University Wants The Word ‘American’ Added To A ‘Harmful Language’ List

Argues that it is ‘too U.S.-centric’

UPDATE: Stanford’s IT Department Walks Back Plan to Purge ‘Harmful Phrases’ Like ‘Blind Study’

Stanford University is proposing adding the term “American” to a blacklist with other ‘harmful’ words, reasoning that it is ‘too U.S.-centric’ and not inclusive enough of other countries.

Yes, really.

The University is targeting the label as part of its Orwellian “Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative” that seeks to police language by memory-holing words and phrases it deems to be not woke enough.

Instead of the words ‘American’, the University wants people to use the term “U.S. citizen,” because there are other countries in the continent of America.

The University has eight categories of language policing. They are “Ableist, Ageism, Culturally Appropriative, Gender-based, Imprecise Language, Institutionalized Racism, Person-First, and Violent.”

They have Newspeak suggestions for every ‘offensive’ word and phrase they can think of in those categories.

It is literally 1984 come to life, with Stanford setting itself up as Thinkpol.

Other suggestions Stanford makes for word replacements are “handicap parking,” “addict,” and “Karen,” to be changed to “accessible parking,” “person with a substance abuse disorder,” and “demanding or entitled White woman.”

You read that right. You can’t say Karen now.

Indeed, this destruction of language isn’t restricted to one University. As we highlighted last year, an arts college in Waltham, MA banned the use of words and phrases it deems to be ‘violent’ or ‘racist’, replacing them with bland alternatives in an effort to prevent anyone from being offended.

Among the banned phrases were, ironically, ‘trigger warning’ which had to go because of its association to guns, along with ‘take a shot at it’ for the same reason.

When Oxford University’s Student Union attempted to employ “sensitivity readers” to vet, edit and place trigger warnings (oops I mean ‘content notes’) on the institution’s oldest newspaper in order to resolve ‘problematic’ articles, there was a backlash among alumni.

Meanwhile, students at Manchester University have demanded that the word “black” when used as a negative expression such as the word “blackmail” should be banned because it is “divisive.”

This notion comes directly from race baiters like Ibram X. Kendi, who continually claim that anything with the word ‘black’ in it is racist against black people.

There are now ‘debates’ happening at universities where it is being suggested that using correct grammar is akin to white supremacy, and that ‘non standard’ language is seen as “linguistically, morally, and intellectually inferior” not because it is regularly grammatically incorrect, but because black people are using it (Many many white people also use grammatically incorrect language, but again, facts don’t matter).

recent study by leading education focused think tank Civitas, found that free speech at the world’s leading universities is being eroded at an alarming rate owing to the rise of “cancel culture”.

Universities are in danger of becoming breeding grounds for revisionist history based on extremist political movements made up of individuals who are obsessed with declaring everything racist.

The term ‘sex offender’ is now also offensive to sex offenders, and don’t caller people who groom children pedophiles, because it’s discriminatory.

This kind of clown world mentality has not only paved the way for thought policing, but it is also destroying grammar and language, with some young people taking it to the extreme of not using full stops because they appear to be ‘too aggressive’.

It won’t just be people policing your words either, Google has a Newspeak correction tool already developed that will correct whatever you type if it doesn’t like it.

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

There was no vocabulary expressing the function of Science as a habit of mind, or a method of thought irrespective of its particular branches. There was, indeed, no word for ‘Science,’ any meaning that it could possibly bear being already sufficiently covered by the word Ingsoc.

    Video: Shrieky Purple Haired Democrat Makes A Complete Fool Of Herself At FBI Whistleblower Hearing

    Tries to identify FBI whistleblower as J6 Insurgency supporter by attributing someone else’s Twitter account to him… fails spectacularly

    A Democrat made a complete fool of herself at yesterday’s House Judiciary Committee government weaponisation hearing in the House by attempting to pin some random person’s retweet on an FBI whistleblower as evidence that he supported a January 6th insurgency.

    Sporting sprigs of purple dyed hair and waving around air quotes, shrieky Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez of California attempted to go all Perry Mason by uncovering former FBI agent Marcus Allen as a dangerous MAGA extremist sympathiser.

    The problem was that her entire case rested on a retweet claiming ‘Nancy Pelosi staged January 6. Retweet if you agree,’ by someone with the same name, that isn’t the same Marcus Allen.

    Sanchez took about 4 minutes to set up her devastating take down of Allen as a legitimate witness, asking him several poorly worded questions about whether he believes FBI agents should be impartial and apolitical.

    Sanchez intended to get Allen to agree that obviously this should be the case and then hit him with the revelation that he retweeted a MAGA crackpot QAnon statement, or something.

    When it came to the big unveil, Sanchez asked “Is your account @MarcusA97050645?” to which the former agent replied “That is absolutely not my account.”

    Should’ve checked if there is more than one Marcus Allen… in the world.

    Sanchez ridiculously carried on anyway, demanding that Allen answer for the tweet, as someone in the background quipped that the owner of the random Marcus Allen account “could be the football player.”

    Allen hilariously repeatedly told Sanchez that the Twitter account in question is not his.

    Watch:

    Two can play at this game…

    Earlier, Allen had testified to the subcommittee that he was punished for forwarding information to his superiors that “questioned the official narrative of the events of January 6.”

    “Despite my history of unblemished service to the United States, the FBI suspended my security clearance, accusing me of actually being disloyal to my country,” Allen said.

    He added, “This outrageous and insulting accusation is based on unsubstantiated accusations that I hold ‘conspiratorial views’ regarding the events of January 6, 2021 and that I allegedly sympathize with criminal conduct. I do not. I was not in Washington DC on January 6, played no part in the events of January 6, and I condemn all criminal activity that occurred.”

    Toronto ‘Anti-Capitalist’ Pay-When-You-Can Cafe Shuts Down After Just One Year

    Published

    A Toronto cafe for anti-capitalists, “The Anarchist,” is permanently shuttering after just 12 months in business after following a “pay-when-you-can” business model.

    The Anarchist describes itself as an “anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe, shop and radical community space on stolen land.”

    “Unfortunately, the lack of generational wealth/seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources left me unable to weather the quiet winter season, or to grow in the ways needed to be sustainable longer-term,” the owner, Gabriel Sims-Fewer wrote last week.

    The Anarchist, which opened for business in March of 2022, went viral last year, with internet users mocking the leftist cafe for charging high prices for its “speciality” coffee as well as selling “radical” art, books, clothing, jewellery, tote bags, and stickers. –Breitbart

    “Fuck the rich. Fuck the police. Fuck the state. Fuck the colonial death camp we call “Canada”,” Gabriel wrote.

    It’s been an amazing experience, connecting with so many great community members, sparking desperately needed debate, raising the blood pressure of Conservatives (that includes you, “anarcho-capitalists” and “Libertarians”), fulfilling the dream of most service workers by not having to tolerate the presence of professional class-traitors (pigs and military), and experimenting with living and working in ways that don’t enthusiastically embrace the pure misanthropy of Capitalism,” he continued.

    How could this have possibly happened?

    A professor reveals that students are citing “mental health” to get 25% extra time in exams, generous coursework deadline extensions, and as a general excuse to just not show up or do anything at all.
