I love words! I love language and believe in the power of words. There is a reason why I add a poem to each of my letters. I love poetry. And there is also a reason why I rarely choose modern poetry. I like the complexity and beauty with which older poetry is more often written.
“When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.” — John F. Kennedy
I have already written about the absurdity of gendering in another letter. Today I would like to add to it.
The German Family Minister, Lisa Paus, thinks it is necessary to have reporting centres where people can be reported - I call it denunciation or snitching - if they use language that is not gender-appropriate. Officially, they are reporting centres for anti-feminist statements - this includes anyone who campaigns against gender-equitable language. In this case, I should definitely be reported.
Surveys have shown time and again that over 90% of the population categorically reject this NEWSPEAK gender nonsense or gender-equitable language. It shows very clearly that we are further away from a democracy than ever before - only that it is to be sold to us under the guise of democracy and equality.
“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt
We have reached the point where children get lower marks in school essays if they do not write in a gender-appropriate way. This is where the re-education of the state begins for that minuscule minority that actually wants it. Children are being systematically brainwashed and confused.
A father is currently suing the school because his son got points deducted for using the word jumping jack instead of jumping person. This atrocious re-education by the state must stop. Language is being wantonly defaced and it is a matter of time before poetry and literary works are rewritten and with this being destroyed.
But the consequences are much more far-reaching. What about people who suffer from learning disabilities such as dyslexia? The school system or the education system is already completely broken and lacks any practicality. It produces - and this is desired - brainless, adapted followers of orders who are incapable of thinking for themselves. Future generations can thus be enslaved so much more easily. This is the sad reality and our children must be protected from it by all means.
“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” — Abraham Lincoln
These initiatives not only cost money and tie up attention, but they distract from the real concerns. From an ailing economy, a disastrous health system, a broken school system, and so much more. Unfortunately, it is working very well at the moment - too well.
Language is something that should connect people and this unspeakable nonsense is only there to further separate people from each other.
“Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.” — Humphry Davy

📚My Poem of the Day
Is by my favourite Irish poet, William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
When You Are Old
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
