Help me build a list of words redefined by the "woke" crowd and the Left. We have to actively take our language back.
The Left, the Woke, the Progressives, the whoever believe they are, apparently have the power and the right(!) to redefine what words mean, who can use them/ who cannot, words that insinuate meaning (aka 'dog whistles') etc. For too long we have gone along with that. Let's first identify the words they are redefining, co-opting and restricting, and restore them to OUR usage, in our culture.
So help me capture the words 'they' seek to control and contort. More below.

Danny — Lots of good returns on the search. I will post back to you each time, for simplicity, not to bug you.
discrimination: a word that has lost meaning in the progressive era from over use by the MSM and this administration. To liberals discrimination means not giving equal stuff to members of minorities, who should have whatever they want, and everyone else must pay for those wants.
diversity: a blend of several unique items coexisting, such as a diversified stock portfolio. Liberals, however, define this word to describe racial, religious, cultural, and other “diversity” promoted within a single society that they define.
equality: an idea which states that each member of a given group has equal value or equal authority. To liberals it means forced equal outcomes regardless of skill, experience, or effort, as in racial quotas.
progressive: A “progressive” focuses on using government power to make institutions play by a set of rules. But liberals want to define “the rules.” Are you beginning to see how subtle liberals can be? Does the EPA come to mind?
prejudice: “Prejudice” means literally to pre-judge. But liberals cannot stop there – they add racial or class or sex or … so as to fit their agenda and change the meaning of the word.
racist: The MSM and current administration have used this word so much that the word has lost relevance in any honest debate. To liberals it means any person or organization that disagrees with the policies of the current administration.
rainbow: a “rainbow” is literally a circular color spectrum appearing in the sky due to the result of refraction and multiple reflections of sunlight in droplets of water. Liberals have redefined the word as a symbol of homosexuality. It has also been redefined and used by left-wing political pressure groups to refer to their agenda of multiculturalism. The word has also been mis-used by liberals as a symbol of “diversity.”
tyranny: tyranny literally means oppressive power exerted by government. This word is not present in the progressive liberal vocabulary.
union dues: to liberals, union dues means voluntary contributions from individuals who are happy to belong to a union and agree with all actions the union takes. In actuality, it is money coerced from union members as a condition of employment.
good Townhall article on the same topic.

Freedom
Every word including “THE”. (The definite article is a symbol of the patriarchy because it requires definiteness, a White way of thinking.)
‘Conversation” : Nuff said..

That’s actually a deep answer for 3 words but honestly captures it all.
“peace”: “dead commies”
“liberty”: “dead commies”
“freedom”: “dead commies”
“individuality”: “dead commies”
“peace”: “dead commies”
“fair elections”: “dead commies”
“Washington Commanders”: “pathetic commies”
Indeed, like math and correct answers are racist.
True enough.
I think Republicans can get 80% of the Hispanic Vote if they promise to never use that term.
Fully, as in fully vaccinated.
And vaccinated as well.
Oh yeah vaccine.
