There are none. No new virtues. It seems like there are, now, what with all the noise about these newly redefined old words, repurposed to some certain end — Equity Inclusion Tolerance Supremacy etc. But it's just a new emphasis, a required imbalance regarding wisdom, as with the tension between Justice and Mercy, say.
Our old ideal was equal consideration under the law. The reality was different, what with actual bigotry and corruption, but we had an ideal. Now there's a non-male, um, non- uh, European? group that's good, and me, who must be bad. You know, polluted genetics, or soul slash spirit, I guess. Irredeemable.
Yet, somehow, Biden for example is so very awesome, race traitor though he be. That's an unfortunate but accurate trope, okay to use here because he hates his father's race and america too. He certainly owes no loyalty to his "race". But he owes complete loyalty to his ancestral genetics, in the biological sense of passing along his genes, as is the accepted Evolutionary view of the meaning of life. Thus, loyalty.
Likewise, the american race, a genetic melting pot, crystalized and manifested in a fierce and unwavering dedication to the proposition that all men are created equal. I will not sully the phrase with my usual sarcasm, all persons. That's the race to which Biden is a traitor.
It goes beyond treason the way Satan's rebellion surpassed mutiny. Satan ruined the entire universe, as Biden would ruin america.
So to use the neo-Plantation locutions the Left is coining, Biden is a house cracker, not a field cracker — a good boy, not uppity, knows his place. He's in the Cracker House, or its basement, until they wheel him out like Hannibal Lector, allowed now to be without his covid mask. Make a speech, Joe! Good boy.
So it's about reclassifying, reversing, ignoring various disfavored values, until vice is a good thing. Not diligence, but equity. Not equal justice, but favored groups. Etc — make your own list.
I generally have nothing to say about Haris, Vice President Kamilia Harrise. She's the buzzing of mosquitoes, which are, however, profoundly dangerous — as deadly as rats, more or less, re disease transmission. But by now you know how I am. I can't help it — it's who I am, always needing to check that the words line up with the meaning. It comes from my childhood, when I had to examine everything for its real meaning.
She said, flailing her hands and twisting her head like she was watching tennis, "This is about Equity. And whether or not we are truly committed to the Principles of Equity in every way that we as Government and as a society can enforce those important Principles."
It's just a sound byte, stock footage by now, like black and white film of a buffalo stampede or a large flock of birds exploding out of a tree on the savannah. We will overlook the senseless sentence construction — it is perhaps extempore, for all that it's mere and endless repetition.
But we mustn't let these things flood over us without, at last, examining them for their actual meaning.
Contrary to the vice president's demand, I am not committed to Equity. Do I have that right? Freedom of conscience? It's a demand because it is to be enforced. More of a command, then. The thing that caught my ear however was her usage of the word Principles.
Henceforth "Equity" shall always be capitalized, like "Trinity" or "Constitution". Just as a proper noun can be orthographically demoted, eg "bill clinton" or "islamism", likewise, when a concept rises to a certain eminence, it should be distinguished from its homonyms by being capitalized. Likewise, then, "Government", as these people use the term.
Can principles be enforced? Rules, laws, contracts, yes. But she didn't want to call Equity the Rule, the Law — and certainly not a contract, which would require mutual agreement and benefit. Principle however is of a higher ethical order than what she means.
I don't require intellectual rigor or thoughtful integrity from Madame Vice President Herodd. She cannot rise above her character — what with that not being her priority. It's our fault, not hers, that she currently occupies the VP office. She was not more articulate, coherent or comprehensible when she was campaigning. We saw what she was. So that she does not know the meaning of words is all of a piece.
The real problem, aside from mosquitoes and rats, and fish-market bats (you can adapt that into a rap song or a meme. I give you permission), is that she has the Bureaucracy of Government behind her. All Government is coercive. Laws are not suggestions. And she has stated, knowingly on camera, that her belief and therefore her actions propend toward Equity being Enforced. Enforced means forced.
Like Hitler, yes I went there, again, who in Mein Kampf quite cogently laid out his Master Plan re Race and Lebensraum — likewise these wokists cannot help but say what they mean and mean what they say, for all that the words don't match the meaning.
You will conform. You will believe. You will be forced.
Will it happen — I mean totally, in the Handmaid's Tale only the opposite way that my endless screeds portend? Is this to be the time of the Tribulation? But there are many tribulations.
So yes, it will. Many villages are bombed. Many refugee camps are invaded, the women raped, the males hacked to death. And raped. And the women are hacked to death. Equity. When that happens here — as it certainly did in our past, re settlers and indians — then we will learn something about american exceptionalism.
American exceptionalism was only as real as our love for Rule of Law. Confucius knew the idea, as the Rectification of Names. Call things what they are. When these virtues no longer protect us, well, it's not that we will deserve to be raped and hacked to pieces. That's just what will happen. And we will deserve it. You know, because of the way the universe and history are. Savage.
We will deserve it because we could have stopped it.
