Bears repeating...with emphasis. He who controls the language controls the argument/discussion and the outcome.
Amen to your amen!
Controlling the language was a pivotal theme in Orwell’s “1984”.
We should stop using terms like “gay” ,unless we mean “carefree and happy”, “Community” unless we mean “neighborhood”, etc.
And we should stop completely our use of made-up manipulative, agenda-driven words such as Islamophobia, homophobia, Vegan, Global Warming, Green (unless referring to that color that comes from mixing blue and yellow!), sexist, hetero-normative, politically correct (or INcorrect!), wait-staff, waitron, chairperson, sustainable, capitalism, “challenged” when we mean “disabled” etc etc etc.
