The maniacal gibberish spouted by the deranged is only possible during soft times. The times are transitioning from soft to hard, and people will have no time to hoot about their pronouns when they're concentrating on finding food and keeping warm.

I expect this lunacy to pass aver the next few years as the availability of gas, petrol, eggs, bread milk, beer etc becomes more...how do they say...problematic.

I fear you are right.

I am not sure people who mindlessly parrot the climate emergency mantras realise how much smaller, how much more restricted, how much poorer, their world will become if we continue headlong towards "net zero" as envisioned by the 'elite'.

Most will not have a car, will not be able to eat meat (only some factory-produced sludge, most likely from insects), will live in "15 minute cities", will not be able to adequately heat (or cool) their houses, and so on.

Members of the elite 'club' will, of course, suffer no such restrictions or limitations - as life will continue much the same for them. Their world will not shrink and they'll be able to enjoy more of it with fewer plebs visible to spoil the view.

Part of me wonders whether this is all being done with an eye to a future in which AI dominates and replaces the need for human labour. When that happens, I expect we'll see some serious culling.

If we culled the elites right now, it would save an awful lot of trouble in the long run.

Fantastic article BTW.

When you've been around as long as I have, and someone asks "How do you identify?" I just say "Old".

I love to be pedantic (and remember, love is love, so I expect full support), so my biggest issue here is that pronouns are not “conjugated.” They are declined. ETA: And I decline the neo pronouns.

I have only one thing to say:

"Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah-nagl fhtagn—"

And:

"That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret

priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and

resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind

would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good

and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing

and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new

ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth

would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom."

Seems eerily fitting with regards to the woke, doesn't it?

Eldritch would seem to be an underutilized adjective, considering what’s been going on

He was also fond of unspeakable and undescribable, both fitting for a certain crowd in academia.

So by rote reflex I looked up the etymology of the word "conjugate" since it's the tapstone of the piece.

Apparently it's latin, from coniugatus which is the past participe of coniugare.

Which means "to yoke together". Given the pronoun-ciation of yoke, that's a good laugh right there, yes? Whereas the meaning of yoke isn't.

And it used to be an adjective meaning to join together. Joining gendered pronouns together... it allcomes down to the s-e-x, doesn't it?

Carry on conjugatin'!

Last year I went to a new doctor and on my initial visit was asked what my preferred pronouns were. I replied, “You have got to be freaking kidding me” and walked out of the office. The more people who absolutely refuse to be a part of the lunacy the faster this nonsense will end.

However, with over a billion people fully poisoned by the death jabs I think this shit will end soon...when folks worldwide start dropping dead like flies all

over the place. Been vaxxed and boosted to the hilt? I’d be more worried about my impending death than how someone addresses me. That’ll end this shit.

This is more to your liking, I suppose. Certainly to mine.
