Immigration Wrongs

I just heard a newscaster report that the rallies today were aimed at stopping legislative attempts "to criminalize illegal immigration."

Hmm. I guess that's like a rally to promote the decriminalization of legal immigration, only the other way around.

The debasement of language is reaching the point where it will soon be impossible to say anything clearly. It will, however, continue to be possible to say nothing clearly. Or anything unclearly.

This is all a good thing, of course, since we know that perspicuity and logic are merely ploys which enable the powerful to control the narrative. Even the notion of narrative is more than a little suspect, as it implies some kind of linear progression from A to B to C. The hegemonies of language being apparently unavoidable, I think it's clearly best to say nothing, as unclearly as possible.

Ignorance is strength.
