California’s Left wing Orwellian Worldview

"I learned that words matter—and once they were called 'at-risk,' they almost were in the school-to-prison pipeline automatically,"--Los Angeles Assemblyman Reginald Jones Sawyer

I read an article last week in which Los Angeles Assemblyman Reginald Jones Sawyer said that he has learned that words matter. This article exemplifies how the Left uses language to change our society. So let’s talk about it. (see article)

Sawyer is the inspiration for legislation California Democrat lawmakers passed that swapped out the phrase "at-risk youth" with "at-promise youth" in the state's education and penal codes. California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom signed that legislation into law, which went into effect last month, January 2020.

Why is this important?

This is the latest example of how Liberal Progressives create Orwellian Worldview. You were wondering how our country has became so divided? This is one of the fundamental reasons we are “where” we are in our society today. We have allowed Liberals to change words without pushing back against their insidious plan to change our National identity by changing what we say, and by extension change what and how we think.

The corruption of man, as Emerson wrote, leads to the corruption of language. And the corruption of language, Orwell foresaw, would lead to the further corruption of man.--Paul Greenberg

Creating Orwellian Worldview is the changing of our society through Left wing legal coercion, Left wing politically correct language and Left wing political Fascism. This all for the purposes of fundamentally changing our culture, society and national identity to that of one compatible with the European World government model.

This small example of changing the words, “at-risk” to “at-Promise” as is shown in the article, California changes wording from 'at-risk' to 'at-promise youth' to help disadvantaged students is the epitome of psychological language manipulation the Progressive Left has used since the 70’s to change half of the United States into an immoral, confused and undiscerning society.

Our Nation now settles for Learning superficial lessons regarding complex problems. But superficial lessons are not solutions or remedies. Superficial lessons are temporary measures that make us feel good that we have answers when in fact we worsen conditions with ill throughout answers because we change words and use the wrong words to think about and talk about real problems and issues.

These little seemly innocuous word changes are changes to our collective consciousnesses that set the stage for wrong paradigm shifts in our society. Shifts that the Progressive Left have been so successfully in making in our country.

There is a story of which I am acquainted. A little child stubbles upon an unguarded nest, in the nest a baby bird is struggling, attempting to peck it’s way out from it’s shell.

To the child this process seems like eons and what’s more the little bird seems to be tiring. It has to stop and rest many times during its attempt to break through the shell.

Finally the child can take no more of the struggling so the child peels back the shell to help the little bird free itself.

Feeling proud to have helped the child runs to fetch her parent. Upon returning with parent in tow the child is devastated to find that the little bird has died.

Grief stricken the child complained, “Why, why did the bird have to die?” “Mommy I helped why didn’t the bird live?” Mother responded gently, “ Dear I know you meant well when you peeled back the pieces to help the little bird to escape it’s shell.” Mother added, “But in nature struggle is a part of the cycle of life. It is through struggle all living things acquire strength and experience to go on to meet the challenges that life has to offer.”

This lesson is lost on Los Angeles Assemblyman Reginald Jones Sawyer, this lesson is lost on the California Legislature and it is lost on California Governor Gavin Newsom. This is a Lesson lost on all Progressive Liberals who would change names and titles rather than face and solve real issues.

Yes they may mean well but creating artificial remedies by using Orwellian language creates false alternate realities and splits in national unity. The Left’s Orwellian language crafting is the root cause for the Left’s confusion and the divide in America.

In spite of this, these people feel good about themselves as they change words and enact superficial laws. But the reality is Anthropogenic Climate Change formally known as Global warming or Undocumented workers formally know as illegal aliens or Gays and Lesbians formally known as homosexuals are names and titles that have been changed by the Progressive Left to obscure something about each of these groups rather than bring clarifying understanding to these issues.

If we are to ever regain our unity and comity as a United States, and as a Country of free people, we have got to insist that Progressives cease from attempting to gain power over the rest of us by obscuring and weaponizing language for political dominance and gain.

Also, we have got to stop acquiescing when the Progressive Left says this word is off limits or this is the new word that will replace a traditional word. Just say no! This is still a free country. What I am suggesting to you to do is say, No! And say, ‘I will use the language which I chose to use!’

Democrats of the Progressive Left have put America at-risk by their Orwellian manipulation of the language. In order for America to regain our promise and our potential we must reject the Left’s Orwellian word manipulation and reject the Left’s Worldview!
