Gleichschaltung.

Huh?

Gleichschaltung is a German word that means (meaning "coordination," "making the same," "bringing into line." It was the Nazi policy enforcing political conformity in all sectors of society.

Gleichschaltung comprised:

1. Distorted, manipulative language intended to confuse; think Ministry of Propaganda in 1984. (e.g., infinite genders, or Global Cooling begetting Global Warming begetting Climate Change)

2. Media conformity with totalitarian postures. (e.g., Big Tech, Brownstream Media, i.e., CNN/MSNBC/CBS/NBC/ABC/WaPo/NYT/NPR)

3. Controlled interpersonal communication, e.g., politically controlled jargon. (Politically Correct language, cancel culture)

4. Manipulating the population to the point that it can no longer distinguish truth from lies. (Fake News and per AOC, “We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.”)

5. Banning the expression of conventional religious viewpoints. (e.g., Little Sisters of the Poor. See also Hobby Lobby and Chik-Fil-A.)

6. Re-educating students in the ways of state philosophy. (Critical Race Theory)

7. Rewriting history (e.g., 1619 Project, removing/demolishing statues, the Rotunda is racist, renaming schools)

8. Scientism -- the twisting of the scientific method to support the political agendas of the party and/or special interest groups. (e.g., Green New Deal)

Sound familiar?
