Birthing People, Political Correctness

 We see here the Biden administration decide to substitute at a pretty official level “birthing people” for mothers, because it’s supposedly more precise. Hopefully that will shore up a lot of confusion about the nature of the kind of people who specifically give birth - they are birthing people.

I remember when first hearing of political correctness as some phenomenon arising in the US, not knowing what it was but I think my felt but unarticulated impression was of some kind of artificial, sterile, bureaucratic spirit inserting itself into life. Now these years later we see it coming into something like full fruition. I don’t think it needs arguing the people in sway to this spirit are pathetic and crazy. They really have fatally split from their common sense. These aren’t deep, fascinating intellectual issues and avenues. They are having to go out of their way to be as artificial and stupid as possible. I see on the YouTube page a couple of comments on the abandoning of “mothers” or “moms” that it is so dehumanising in the attitude towards moms, and ‘“Birthing people” is something aliens would call mothers on earth.’

In spiritual terms with things like lust or greed or anger and so on, these are spirits, like there is a spirit of envy, and actually people through somehow opening of doors, may become possessed by specific spirits or demons who specialise in one of these areas. Whether one believes in this or not it is clear that with all these phenomena, like say pornography or a gambling or drug addiction, things don’t stay at the same level once giving into it. The autonomous self may to a large degree vacate the premises, and what is left is a host to this urge which becomes more extreme in its desires. This will happen in gambling even to the point of total self-ruining in a short space of time. So we can say the relevant spirit is suicidally opposed to the well-being of us, and yet even still we may again and again succumb to it. The specific mission of each of these spirits is to literally drag us down. I think actually even in ordinary intellectual use, rather than perversely looking for mystery, a genuine inimical and evil spirit is actually the most sensible in understanding what’s going on here.

Either way though, there is unarguably a spirit of lust, anger, greed and so on which all don’t just reach a certain reasonable point of satisfaction and then retreat back to respectability. No, they all lead into further and further extremes. And with this political correctness, it’s the same thing. My vague feeling as a child was correct, and it is a spirit that is inimical to life, and if allowed would go further and further along its horrible pathways. Almost humorously to add it’s obvious the visceral pull of temptations like pornography, gambling and so on, but what kind of freaks get drawn into the temptation of political correctness! Academic arseholes is coming to mind! Though to add, pathetic and stupid as it is, it is definitely far from benign in its potential for harm. And actually there is a more basic psychological nature to the temptation here as the drive to power, or will to power, is very primal, and with all these progressive emanations and ideologies, these do very much come within that umbrella.
