Thanks, Red Walrus. The answer is in the updated post above yours (the Party has the exclusive right to update history, which then becomes the exclusive reality).

To clarify:

O'Brien turns a dial and Winston receives a painful electric shock. The needle is at 40; O'Brien tells him he will increase the amount of electricity if Winston lies to him. O'Brien asks Winston if the past exists. Winston replies that it does. O'Brien responds that the past exists in the mind of the Party only. To become sane, Winston must see through the eyes of the Party.

Pshaw! That's an easy one. It's because only our leaders know for sure. And with those lying videos of Muslims murdering vast numbers of people continually being broadcast, our leaders must keep us believing correctly after every slaughter of the infidel (for unknown reasons), that Islam is a religion of peace. Next Tuesday will only arrive when all good comrades believe all korrekt thoughts. Right? What do I win?

After 8 hours Fox, CNN and MSNBC News still don't know the motivation of the shooter in Baton Rouge...Does the MSM know less than the rest of the world?

We are told that women in Western societies are disadvantaged and oppressed. And then there are all these transgendered men wishing to be women.

If being a woman is so bad and gender is fluid, why aren't there more women changing their sex to become men and to enjoy male privilege?

Not a question but more of a circular conundrum thingy: Millions of people are destroying the planet, and if we don't do something to stop it, millions of people will die.

If Socrates is so darn smart how come I never see him asking any of the questions?

For that matter, if Socrates is so darn smart how come he keeps on asking people things over and over again? Didn't he learn the first time?

If Socrates is so darn smart how come he never has any answers?

When some smart aleck author throws you a Socratic question now you know what to say. It's whataboutism Socratic questions without using the "what about." But whataboutsocrates, huh? Huh?

Margaret, here is proof of Socrates' smartiness, um, I mean smartness. He was like, smart, ya know?



He might even ask something like: Dude, knowing that all of your political gurus were spectacularly and embarrassingly wrong about the 2016 election, why are you still hanging on every word as if they really knew what they were talking about? Dude?

If Socrates really did exist and was so influential, why are there no written records of him? We only have Plato's word to go on....

Another Socratic question:

If socialism and communism are really great as long as the right people are in charge, how come the wrong people always find ways to be in charge every time it's tried?

Barely Socratic:

Is it because (see Bill/Ted/Socrates and wind + dust above) the right people, in socialism/communism, are (metaphorically/existentially) ‒ phhht... ‒ blown by the wind of Revolooshun, and ‒ arrgh... ‒ bite the dust?

Wait, wait.

Here a womyn is about to switch in a man, and there - still womynhood! - whispers her/his/zir intuition: huh, "man"? wait, darling. privilege, maybe. but then - predator, oppressor, crusader?

And next the pangs, should zir target "man" be "of color". Or/And, Allah forbid, Mahometan?
All privileges out, victimizer stain and supremator stench in!

Barely Socratic, a solution(?):

A list of qestions similar to this topic has been making rounds on the Internet, and they are good.

• If Liberals don't believe in biological gender then why did they march for women's rights?
  
• If women do the same job for less money, why do companies hire men to do the same job for more money?
  
• Since only 11 million people have Obamacare, how will 24 million people die if it is repealed? Will an additional 13 million people be randomly shot?
  
• If you rob a bank in a Sanctuary City, is it illegal or is it just an Undocumented Withdrawal?
  
• Why is each ISIS attack now a reaction to Trump policies, but all ISIS attacks during Obama's term were due to Climate Change and a plea for jobs?
  
• If Muslims want to run away from a Muslim country, does that mean they are Islamophobic?
  
• If Democrats don't want foreigners involved in our elections, why do they think it's all right for illegals to vote?
  
• Is the DNC is mad at Russia because it 'thinks' they are trying to manipulate our elections, or because Russia is exposing that the DNC is manipulating our elections?
  
• How did the Russians get Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC to steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders? How did Russia get Donna Brazile to leak debate questions to Hillary Clinton in advance of the debates?
  
• Why is it that Democrats think superdelegates are fine, but they have a problem with the electoral college?
  
• If Donald Trump deleted all of his emails, wiped his server with Bleachbit and destroyed all of his phones with a hammer, would the Mainstream Media suddenly lose all interest in the story and declare him innocent?
  
• If Hillary's speeches cost $250,000 an hour, how come no one shows up to her free speeches?
  
• If you don't want the FBI involved in elections, why nominate someone who's being investigated by the FBI?

Mrs. Red Square wrote:

It was retroactively classified as a ‘matter', not an investigation. Or maybe it was a madder. A Maddow? Is that guy from MSNBC a Russian spy sent to corrupt our perfect and always korrekt news media?

Here's another Socratic question:

If the Democrats and the media weren't helping in the Russian influence campaign to polarize America, sow distrust in its institution, and pit people against each other, what would they be doing differently?

And another good one, from Margaret:

If everything is a social construct, isn't the idea that gender identity is a social construct, itself a social construct?

A question for Jussie Smollett: If Trump's America is as violent and hateful as you imagine, why do the Democrats and the media need a constant string of hoaxes in order to prove it? Including your own hoax, until it was debunked?

A similar question for the media: If Trump's America is so terrible, why did you need a Jussie Smollett to make this case? Why all your best efforts to besmirch America turn out to be hoaxes?

Historians Uncover Lost Socrates Dialogues Where He Just Gave Up And Started Screaming That Opponent A F*cking Brainwashed Shill

Fear not comrade, it's fake news. The word "racist" doesn't even show up once. Nothing to see here, let's tend our beets.

So let me see if I have this straight—or should I say right? No, maybe I should say correct:

Trump never fired Mueller. Oh, he thought about it. Even asked one of his lawyers about doing it. But he never actually did it. Yet because he thought about it and talked about it, that makes him guilty of obstruction of justice, for which he should be impeached and sent to prison?

Hillary, on the other hand, actually violated federal law with her mishandling of classified information, which might have posed a grave threat to national security. Yet because she didn't really intend to do it, she's exonerated?

As Socratic method the Socratic question would be: What is meant by the word 'justice'?

As Party method the Party question would be: Who the hell is Hillary and Mueller? Never heard of them!

• Why are school teachers the number one occupation of the Antifa terrorists according to the FBI?
  
• Why did it take Nancy Pelosi 34 years to get offended by those Confederate statues?
  
• Maybe it's the criminals, not the cops, who need to be defunded and better trained to obey the police?

Unseeing the doublethink of those very rebels without a real cause Houston bookstore women you met - the rebels against traditional hospitality and grace...because well...??? has been 'pelipsky's main goal to full recovery.

And those Obama-Kapitalist pig stores!!...and now all this spray painting marble columns going on today - and this is REAL marble - not that FAKE marble 'pelipsky was forced to make in gulag - but REAL marble, comrades!! And this real marble is being spray painted and FAKE NEWS acts like it's All OKAY! They don't care between FAKE marble and FACT marble because for some reason a journalist means not caring about these differences between FAKE and FACT through secret process of object without a subject nothink.

These rebels against the very traditions The MotherLand Made Great Again that dared to compare their 'resistance' to everything that is associated with Texazistan's legendary hospitality and grace upon the opportunity to meet you, actually planned in advance an opposition front to the title of your book which challenged their sacrificial tithe to the State Shakedown that drove them to be inhospitable and ungracious frothing animals.

...but seriously all this spray painting REAL marble...get's 'pelipsky's mythical soul all ready to like do something Comisarka Pinkie was talking about back in the days we're recalling here...as 'pelipsky was 'there'...well not there there...but was a more hospitable stop on the original bus tour...so was 'there' in the mythical soul of 'pelipsky ...and just go out and grab a Rainbow...or a maybe even a BLM flag...especially if it's got fringe! Those fringed flags are like...fringe!...and grab that fringed flag--- and just burn it. Just get out a zippo and just watch that fringe start to burn...for a change.

And then use 'pelipsky's issued this morning shovel to whack those assfringe embers until they are out just like Smokey the RED Bear said. Only YOU can prevent Fringe Fires, comrades!

Sir, let me say I deeply appreciate your inclusion of my 'favorite' movie in your post but, you cut out my cameo with Peter Sellers!!! I'm very disappointed and have notified the Peoples Air Defense Center in Omsk to make sure you realize what a 'slight' you have made.

If a biological man identifies as a woman, will they be required to wear a burqa?

Likewise, if a biological woman identifies as a man, will they still be required to wear a burqa?

Have the esteemed academics in gender studies consulted their friendly Sharia experts?

Also, inquiring minds would like to know about the requirement for FGM in both cases.

Karl Marx was a miserable bastard who wouldn't be happy about anything that didn't perpetuate a constant state of revolution and class struggle, just as his current followers need a constant state of race and identity struggle.

FGM is not a requirement, but any man caught pretending to be a woman would be beheaded under Sharia law (although his genitals might be mutilated first just for fun).

We now have ChatGPT to answer all those questions. I tried that on this thread - Fun with ChatGPT

I also asked a new question:

Since Trump was protested by thousands of women wearing vagina hats, why haven't Trump supporters do a counterprotest wearing penis hats?

ChatGPT gave a very extended answer.

ChatGTP is droll. A ChatKJP would make for a fun Socratic advice column. I wonder what she/it would say?

I got this in the chain mail today. The tradition continues...

Thoughts to ponder….

• We don’t let athletes bet on games they have the ability to influence. Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

• Why is it that when archeologists find human remains, they always determine that they are either male or female and none of the other hundreds of ‘genders’?

• Why is it that so many were more outraged that Brittney Griner was stuck in Russia than they were about Americans being stranded in Afghanistan?

• How is it that the government can’t control gasoline prices…but the weather is something they can fix?

• Why is it we’re churning out a generation of poorly educated people with no skills, no ambition, no guidance, and no realistic expectations of what it means to go to work?

• If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. I wanted to be a pirate. Thank goodness nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery.

• Why were we told to lower our AC usage on hot days to prevent overwhelming the electric grid while simultaneously being told to trade in our gas cars for electric vehicles?

• Does it make sense to cut off oil from an ally and buy it from an enemy who calls for your death?

• Are we living in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended?

• Is this a great description of America: Andy has left town and Barney is in charge?

• Why is talking sexually in the workplace considered sexual harassment to adults…but talking about sexuality to children K-3 at school is considered education?

• Who else had a ‘ministry of truth’?…Hitler…Goebbels…Stalin

• Eliminating the production of 500,000 American barrels of oil a day to buy 500,000 barrels a day from Russia or Venezuela is simply…well…stupid.

• I saw a movie where only the police and military had guns; it was called Schindler’s List.

• Why are we running out of money for Social Security and Medicare and not for welfare, illegals and free college?

• I just got a full tank of gas for $22. Granted, it was for my lawn mower, but I am trying to stay positive.

• There is a coin shortage. America is officially out of common sense.

• If an 18 year old isn’t mature enough to own a firearm, then maybe five year olds aren’t mature enough to change their gender.

• Sign in Texas: DON’T VOTE FOR WHAT YOU FLED.

• Nobody called it‘Toxic Masculinity’ when we were saving the world.

• Mice die in mouse traps because they do not understand why the cheese is free. Just like socialism…

• The most powerful governments on earth can’t stop a virus from spreading…but they say they can change the earth’s temperature if you pay more taxes.

• Want to stop drunk drivers from killing sober drivers? Ban sober drivers from driving. That’s how gun control and COVID lock downs work.

• If you don’t want to stand for the national anthem, perhaps you should give your legs to a veteran who lost his. That way a real man can stand in your place.

• If socialism is so good and capitalism is so bad…then why aren’t the caravans heading to Venezuela?

Thoughts to ponder….

Comrade, one of these thoughts is not a question, a few get "Yes" or "No" answers, but the answer to to all the rest is "Democrats."
 

Also, I think your latest post deserves more commentary than it got. Lately it feels as if The Cube is suffering from Summer Malaise (I think Jimmy Carter made up that one).

Most Equally Esteemed Comrades,

PROG OFF:

I have long used the barbed Socratic question to get rid of imbecilic Leftists (redundant, I know).  I have been using the Archeologist and the sex of discovered remains or a version of it for years.  I have gotten lucky and some of the offended have never spoken to me again.  I added a version of the kids making life long, irreversible decisions right after I first heard of the surgical savagery inflicted on children in the name of "inclusion". 

Side Note:  A former acquaintance "supported" his daughter's decision to become his son.  She was 11.  Over the course of a couple years she went through all the surgery.  How she casually referred to the removal of her breast was horrifying.  After it was all said and done, she killed herself because the artificial penis didn't bring her the happiness she was promised.  At least that's what her note said. 

As far as the K-3 sex education question goes, I've seen that one play out.  When I was a Fed a manager was discussing the things her 6 year old daughter was being taught in public school with a coworker.  Another coworker overheard the conversation and filed a complaint against the manager.  The Manager ended up getting demoted and moved to another agency.  Federal Employees almost never get fired. 

And I have been using the example of Schindler's List in Gun Control arguments ever since it came out. 

Nothing causes a vapor lock between the ears of a Leftist quicker than questioning their own assumptions. 

PROG BACK ON:

Comrade Colonel, thank you for encouraging commentary. 

We must seek out those who question the orthodoxy and eliminate them!
