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.

'They' preach diversity yet NEVER reciprocate, and do NOT intend to. As we all know it's all about control, not any real commitment to real virtue. 'They' do not and have no intention of tolerating 'our culture' and demand we conform to theirs and leave ours behind. That has to stop. WE can stop it.

Why do 'they' believe they have the real power to decide what is permissable? Well, we give it to them. And yeah, the Courts don't help since the 60s.

So here goes, let's start capturing their special lexicon - the words 'they' have warped, and if you like also add in the words they do not permit.

I'll kick it off in the first comment.

I suppose “Gay” would be the first word. Once upon a time it used to mean happy.

“gender” in the sociological sense and a substitute for “sex”.

Perfectly good linguistic term, but it was redefined by a pervert.

“marriage” is one.

Followed by “yes” and “no”.

Once the listing is populating I’ll author a follow-up post on how to take language back, in the name of actual cultural diversity.

“woke”: replace with “racist commies”
“progressives”: “commies”
“liberal”: “Freedom-hating commie”
“Democrat”: “America-hating commie corruptocrat”

Any word ending in either “son” or “man” or in the middle anywhere.

You might try googling “words redefined by liberals”.
A cursory review showed at least a couple of lists and potentially many more.

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

I think Republicans can get 80% of the Hispanic Vote if they promise to never use that term.
