This should not be an executive order with the threat of diminished federal funding... but identifying liberal language control as "illiberal" speech is close to getting it right... or do I mean "close to getting it left"? Funny how the Right has to champion liberal expression and the Left is bent on Newspeak. The Orwellian script has flipped.
How did we get here?
Where do we go from here?
The idea that my absolute belief in free expression, ALL expression, and the breadth of liberal principals that I ascribe to myself -- all women's rights, all and any gender and non-gender rights, all medical rights, all safety rights, all rights of Freedom and equality for ALL -- are all "rights" which fly in the face of the Right. The fact (FACT!) that the absolute right of free expression has leapt from the principles of the Left to being cause célèbre of the Right is another one of those confusing sociopolitical positions that send sociopolitical ideology into the maelstrom of political positioning (and meaning).
I recognize that President Hex #FF9900 (https://www.colorhexa.com/ff9900), a.k.a., "Orange Peel," sanctioned this agenda in support of the mealy-mouthed, maggot-spewing, shriveled-dick urine-spraying white men (and women) of marginal humanity floating in their own "Vacuum of Anger" (http://brianphilipkatz.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-vacuum-of-anger.html), but this may force the Left to identify the breadth of its liberalism (with an unhealthy dose of "illiberalism") to include that which is most sacred and most right for all the human rights I believe in... which is all of them.
So, despite being ordered for the wrong reasons and despite the fact that an Orwellian bureaucracy needs to be established to protect free speech (which, in itself, is not "free speech"), I can't help thinking that, in the short term (or at least until we get a leader for plurality, a leader we actually deserve), this might make it easier to be who we are, say what needs to be said, make art like a magnificent motherfucker, and loudly and proudly reject the P.C. Police and their expression controlling shillelaghs clubbing language like baby seals.
I hate that this had to come from HIM; but, being that I just wrote what I just wrote in the spotlight of his executive order, I'm somewhat, reluctantly grateful.
