Don’t use leftist words and definitions
CARM ^ | July 19, 2023 | Matt Slick

Words and their definitions are important because the more accurate you are, the better able you will be to discern truth from error. There are leftist words and definitions that liberals want you to use. This helps them in their cause, restricts your freedom to speak, and influence your thinking.

The following is a video I released on this along with the text of that video.

————-

In the battle for influence and the control of society, words and their meanings are critical. Those on the liberal left believe their morals and thinking are best for everyone. That is why they want you to use their words, whether they be new words or old words redefined according to their ideology. This is because if they can get you to use their words the way they want you to use them, they can influence your speech and guide your thinking. So, the longer you use their terms and definitions, the more you start to think like them. That’s not good. Nevertheless, those on the left say chest-feeder instead of mother, partner instead of husband or wife, equity instead of discrimination, and toxic masculinity instead of hard-working, faithful men. In using terms the way they do, they attack the foundations of our society – and they want you to join them. They want you to use their words with their definitions. But, if you disagree with them, then you’re labeled homophobic, transphobic, a bigot, a racist, intolerant, or whatever else they throw at you. Their goal is to control you…and, ultimately, your children. They’ve made a lot of headway, too. They have infiltrated schools, movies, children’s books, and libraries with their liberal, leftist morality and group-think.

They preach tolerance but are intolerant. They profess unity but cause division. They promote equity, but they discriminate. Don’t fall for it. Don’t use their terms and definitions.

Don’t be a snowflake, a leftist, a socialist, a compromiser, or a weakling. Don’t use the politically-left terminology that restricts your freedom and redirects your thoughts to a leftist agenda. Instead, be strong. Stand firm. Use the right words that have a precise meaning. Stand for truth. That way, you can avoid the indoctrination of the liberal left, keep your common sense and your intellectual freedom.

Spouse is a ‘gender neutral’ word preferred by leftists. As much as possible I use gender specific words in my communication.

Eg actors and actresses instead of just actors. Rush did the same too (anchorette, reporterette…)

The pronoun “they” is plural, so, no, it does not make sense. Use the default masculine or say “he or she.”

The left uses “they” along with their stupid preferred pronouns nonsense.

Traditionally, “he” has been used when referring to an individual whose sex is not known. Then feminists began insisting on “he or she”, and it wasn’t long before people who thought that was cumbersome began using “they” in that situation. By now, so many people have been misusing “they” as a singular pronoun that some think it’s correct usage. It is not. “They” is plural, period.

The trouble is that English doesn’t have a widely accepted singular neuter personal pronoun for the third person. “One” sounds stilted, and “it” is used for non-human entities. People have tried to coin such pronouns, but none has caught on.

Oh well, the language does change; look at even Middle English. Sooner or later, this will become generally accepted if it’s not already, but not by me.

Don’t say gender; say, sex.

I just call them gun mufflers to underscore the absurdity of the legal BS you have to go through to acquire one in the U.S.

I’ve seen that a few times. One of the ones that never took hold.

I usually use the post “New!” (pronounced “nyew”) to react to some great scientific or medical discovery.

This article is roughly equivalent to such a discovery.

Now that some men want to be women, how can there even be a patriarchy?

I never say “misinformation” or “disinformation”.

I say LIES or PROPAGANDA, depending on the context.

I want to slap the crap out of anyone on the right who uses the word misinformation in any context.

When you use your enemy’s terminology, you have lost the battle.
