Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
Maine state representative demands government goodies for ‘our country’ (Somalia)
We’ll have to bear with Maine state representative Deqa Dhalac here, as she can barely speak English.
With some straining, though, we can ascertain her position that the gears of Maine’s government should be devoted, for reasons not explained, to aiding the development of her (she uses the possessive here) Third World homeland on a separate continent, separated by an ocean:
Policies, how can the politics in Somalia can be, you know, resonate what we have here in the United States, the democracy that we have? How can you help us, you know, be a better country and build back what we used to have, back in long time ago? So hopefully we will be able to help our country, our former country, Somalia.
“We” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
She refers multiple times to “we” and “us” in the context of being Somalian, while referring to Somalia as “our country.”
Simultaneously, she refers to “what we have here in the United States” and expresses her hope that “we” (the Maine taxpayer) will help “our country” of Somalia.
Article IX, Section I of the Maine state constitution requires representatives swear an oath to uphold the United States Constitution; to my knowledge, no similar provision for swearing allegiance to the Somali constitution exists.
Nonetheless, her hierarchy of loyalties seems confused.
Democrat Maine Representative Deqa Dhalac says she wants America to give money to Somalia to pay for the people of Somalia & pay for the development of their country.

The truly mind-boggling thing to consider here is that, somewhere in Portland, Maine, a liberal wine mom with a “Love Is Love” bumper sticker on her Subaru will hear this and somehow not be offended that some lady in a hijab is demanding on national television that her state’s resources be repurposed to come to the aid of a Third World failed state halfway around the world.
Scottish police chief ‘won’t tolerate any form of hate crimes’ against ‘new individuals’
These people wrack their brains coming up with nifty euphemisms for “migrants.”
In this case, it’s “new individuals.”
Chief Superintendent of Police Scotland Susan Ashman:
There are obviously concerns expressed sometimes about how different parts of Scotland will respond the new individuals and the new families joining them, coming into their communities…
Our job is to keep all people safe and to protect vulnerable people and communities, particularly from victimization. I want to make it really clear that just as you won't tolerate any form of hate crime, neither will we.
Police Scotland warn people DISSENT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

What is this “new individuals” talk?
It reminds me of the latest production from the legendary Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan. I don’t get paid to plug it, but I will anyway because it’s great.
The premise is that a crafty alien species, rather than an “Independence Day”-style kinetic invasion, instead opts for the more benevolent strategy of hijacking human consciousness.The people they control they then refer to as “individuals” as some kind of clinical jargon meant to dehumanize them.
As with all Social Justice™ semantical machinations, clinical dehumanization seems to be what’s happening here by turning “people” into “individuals,” not unlike the way that these people constantly refer to “bodies” in place of “people” — “Black bodies,” “queer bodies,” etc.
It’s weird and off-putting stuff — alas, weird stuff is what you come to expect from these freaks when you listen to enough of their verbal tics.
