The weaponization of language continues with a frightening new term
American Thinker ^ | 15 Oct, 2022 | Olivia Murray

It’s ‘democracy’ vs. the ‘stochastic terrorists’ — AKA, the Regime vs. the People.

Do you stand outside abortion mills, praying for intercession or singing hymns? Or do you possibly minister to the mothers as they transport their unborn to the medical gallows?

Do you oppose the physical and physiological mutilation of children at Big Pharma “gender” centers?

Do you believe that schools should teach the basics, rather than cultural Marxism and deviant sexual ideology?

Do you maybe, just maybe, believe the government could be lying about “official” narratives?

Odds are, you’re probably a “terrorist.”

Enter a novel, and rather ingenious anonym: “stochastic terrorism.”

We’ve seen this all before: the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs, the War on Terror. No clear identification of the enemy means the enemy can be whatever (or whoever) at any given moment in time. There can never be an end to the conflict, because how can you defeat an ambiguous enemy? Accepting crusades against vague foes is a clear indicator that we are marching towards a tyrannical government.

It makes me think of 1984’s Winston, as he sat atop the chute that led to the incinerator — nicknamed the Memory Hole if you recall — where he contemplated his role in ever-changing “history.” Oceania’s enemy was fluid, and based on the whims of the Party, but because Winston burned every piece of documentation, the enemy du jour had always been the enemy.

A war on “poverty” dictates that as long as there is poverty, there’s justification for massive welfare programs, even as they bankrupt an entire nation. A war on “drugs” means federal agencies have license to expand and trample the Constitution — after all, you don’t want cartels and drug dealers hurting children do you?

Thanks--I was wondering what "stochastic" was supposed to mean.

The Greek word stochastikos means "skillful in aiming at, able to hit," or "able to guess, sagacious," according to Liddell & Scott's Intermediate Greek Lexicon.

“stochastic terrorists”
Since it was first used recently to describe normal behavior such as praying quietly in front of abortion clinics it puzzled me what they mean or how did they come up with such a term.
google definition of stochastic - a variable process where the outcome involves some randomness.
It is not a random action and is predictable.
An example meaningless word salads that the general public will not bother to stop and analyze the validity.

I agree. Mass Formation Psychosis is what is going on. Everyone who is not “woke” needs to keep speaking out. Everyone should watch that video.
