“Well, at least they aren’t engaged in the homophilia of the pervert loving left.”
Every time the left succeeds in inserting one of these neologisms into the public consciousness, it is a battle won for them and lost to us.
Do you remember a time before the terms “male chauvinist,” “feminist,” and “sexist” were coined? Remember when “diversity” didn’t mean “death to America?” It’s only very recently that the nefarious term “gun violence” made its appearance.
They tried to introduce “fake news” as shorthand for “anything the proglodytes don’t like,” but thanks to President Trump and the Internet, that one blew up in their faces.
Words are important. They govern not just what we think, but what we *can* think. We must be alert to these attempts to alter our thinking, and oppose them.
Not “gay,” but sodomite.
Not “trans,” but fake—as in fake man, fake woman.
Not “sexist,” but man-with-common-sense.
Not “feminist,” but shit goblin.
If people don’t see why this is important, I can only beg them to study it further.
I like proglodyte.
And I understand your concern.
Not too long ago I exchanged some posts with a guy who would not entertain the idea that there were other senses of politics and political than the Marxist take on these things and he did so more or less because he opposed Marxism.
Even opposing Marxism he let the Marxist have some control over they way he expressed himself.
I didn’t try to point out that he’d already let the Marxist inject their sense of the word into times and places where they don’t belong mainly because I saw the discussion wasn’t going to go anywhere.
Simply: if there was ever a time that some idea or public service ever arose where socialism etc were not and could not be the causes for them it is a fundamental error to assume these things only arise because of socialism/progressivism etc ... as indeed many leftist do assume (thus we see comments like how opposing their “progress” means rolling back civilization itself).
Btw ... some on the left make homophilia a positive but I’m for turning it into a pejorative, let a word sour in their mouths for a change.
I use “Islamophile” to similar ends.
My somewhat pessimistic outlook is that people who are still leftist are beyond hope. We need to get the rest of the population on board with sanity, make sure everybody is on to their tricks.
Don’t know about beyond hope, but if it walks like, talks like and believes like an example Romans 1:18-32 in action we shouldn’t be surprised should we discover when all is said and done that Romans 1:18-32 was in play.
“we shouldn’t be surprised should we discover when all is said and done that Romans 1:18-32 was in play.”
Yup. The left claims to comprise half the population. However, only half the population votes, and they’re only half that.
So the question is whether we can survive God abandoning a quarter of us. I don’t think He will abandon us all for the sake of that quarter.
Her blog posts would have been surprisingly accurate if they were about Obama.
