Manipulation of the language is a tried and true method.

In the Language of the 3rd Reich Victor Klemperer explains how the nazis manipulated the German language as a means of manipulating German society into accepting nazi goals and ideals.

Language of the Third Reich

Victor Klemperer (1881-1960) was Professor of French Literature at Dresden University. As a Jew, he was removed from his university post in 1935, only surviving thanks to his marriage to an Aryan.

First published in 1957, The Language of the Third Reich arose from Klemperer's conviction that the language of the Third Reich helped to create its culture. As Klemperer writes: 'It isn't only Nazi actions that have to vanish, but also the Nazi cast of mind, the typical Nazi way of thinking, and its breeding ground: the language of Nazism.'

This brilliant book is by turns entertaining and profound, saddening and horrifying. It is deservedly one of the great twentieth-century studies of language and its engagement with history.

As Lenin said, it is who counts/interpretes the votes.

I believe he had some hidden PC agenda, probably a closet homosexual.

I find it amazing that a kid who should be in jail for sex harassment is suing for his right in a girl bathroom.

Political Correctness is actually a rather brutal form of sophistry.

Once you see that you see how to beat it.
