“giving back” and “paying it forward” are my most despised phrases.
"Leaning In", 1/6 "Insurrection",
I have to say-reading your responses to my initial post at #9 has given me a bit of comfort here.
You don’t hear people outside of forums like this referring very often to the use of words, phrases, and symbols by Leftists to advance their goals.
Sure, we all know how they hijack language, by taking words and symbols, appropriating them, and funneling behavior of people to advance and metastasize their filthy ideological goals into a largely unsuspecting society.
Words like liberal, gay, diversity and such, are used with purpose, then eventually their meaning is bastardized until nobody can use the word in its original context. Sometimes, as happened with “liberal”, it had a completely different meaning 180 degrees from what it came to mean.
But then, when the word “liberal” in its new meaning came to acquire a disreputable bad smell, they discarded the word, and began to adopt “progressive”.
And they do this constantly. I personally cannot even utter the word “diversity” in its original useful meaning without feeling a pang or irritation.
That was why, reading your posts, I realized I am not alone in this.
