The Unlisted: How People Without an Address Are Stripped of Their Basic Rights
27th July 2025
The Guardian, the paper of record for UK Wokery.
Notice that the article starts off with fulminations about an anti-white racist Person of Color not getting a New York street named after him, to which he obviously (in the Left Brain) had an indefensible right.
My street address obsession began when I learned for the first time that most households in the world don’t have street addresses. Addresses, the Universal Postal Union argues, are one of the cheapest ways to lift people out of poverty, facilitating access to credit, voting rights and worldwide markets. But this is not just a problem in the developing world. I learned that even parts of the rural US don’t have street addresses.
West Virginia has tackled a decades-long project to name and number its streets. Until 1991, few people outside of West Virginia’s small cities had any street address at all. Then the state caught Verizon inflating its rates and, as part of an unusual settlement, the company agreed to pay $15m (£12.4m) to, quite literally, put West Virginians on the map.For generations, people had navigated West Virginia in creative ways. Directions are delivered in paragraphs. Look for the white church, the stone church, the brick church, the old elementary school, the old post office, the old sewing factory, the wide turn, the big mural, the tattoo parlour, the drive-in restaurant, the dumpster painted like a cow, the pickup truck in the middle of the field. But, of course, if you live here, you probably don’t need directions; along the dirt lanes that wind through valleys and dry riverbeds, everyone knows everyone else anyway.
Note the upside-down machinations of the Left Brain: Because rural people don’t have street addresses, as has bene the case since Adam and Eve left the Garden, they are thereby ‘stripped of their rights”. One might almost say (and I’m sure some Left Brain people have said) that people living in poverty, which is the natural state of mankind, are thereby “stripped of their wealth”. You really can’t make this shit up.
It really started with Rousseau: “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” No, man is not born free; man in born weak and helpless and in bondage to his parents, his family, his community, and his political unit. If he achieves freedom, it is by dint of hard work, much luck, stubborn determination, and almost always a hard fight.
Rousseau started the whole proglodyte Make It Up And Pretend That It’s True method of thinking. Who are you going to believe, my principles or your lying reality?
