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.

Out of respect for an Army buddy who has multi-multi deep family ties in Virginia, henceforth I now say “The War of Northern Aggression” instead of “The Civil War” or the “War Between the States”. I’ve been a naturalized Texan since 1976, when I reported for duty at Fort Bliss.

Our ADA battery had striking similarities to Easy Company: our CO couldn’t read a map to save his life, my friend was unflappable and always made the right decision, like Dick Winters, and I was a damn good Platoon Leader, thanks to the training from my 3 platoon sergeants, all had at least one tour in Nam.

We hadn’t seen each other for 40+ years, oh how the memories flooded back.

Don’t say “Gun Safety”, say “Gun Control.” (A clever ploy by the left - who could be opposed to “Safety?”)

The convention in proper English for generations is when the sex of the person is unknown, one uses the male pronoun. This is not sexist or discriminatory, it is simply a convention for communicating that only a single individual is being referred to. If one knows the person is female, then use the female pronouns.

Under no circumstances does it make sense to call a single individual “they.”

Don’t anybody forget that it’s “global warming” not “climate change”! My blood pressure skyrockets everytime I hear those terms!

I berated someone recently for using ‘silencer’ as opposed to ‘suppressor’.

Feel free to 'berate' Hiram Maxim. He invented the things, and he called his invention a 'silencer'.

I'll take his word over yours as to what they should be called.

Long has been one of my pet peeves. I remember first hearing of “person of color” on a Rush Limbaugh broadcast. “It’s person of color, not colored person. Remember that, please.”

This is a recent headline in Michigan:
Michigan’s state House of Representatives has passed a bill that could make it a felony to use someone’s preferred pronouns in a way that “intimidates” them.

“The state of Michigan is now explicitly allowing the gender delusion issue to be used as a ‘protected class.’ This opens up numerous issues when it comes to the courts and the continued weaponization of the system against conservatives,” State Rep. Angela Rigas said of the bill.


We’ll be in prison for up to 5 years if we miss saying the perfect one of the many alleged genders, for instance.

“The Maxim Silencer” does roll off the tongue better than “The Maxim Suppressor”.

Don’t say gender; say, sex.

Or use the words as synonyms when referring to people. The pretense that mental illness can change a person's gender is a recent ideological manipulation of the English language.

“This is a recent headline in Michigan:

Eighty percent of Chicago's students can't read at their grade level. I doubt if they know what a pronoun is much less the dozens of made up pronouns the non-normals have dreamed up. It will be interesting to see how the law will be enforced.

And don’t use the plural personal pronoun “they” when referring to a single individual, who is either a he or a she.

If they don't want *He* or *she*, you could always suggest *it* and watch the meltdown.

Don’t say “gay” unless you mean “happy and carefree”.

Don’t say “Educator” when you mean “Teacher”.

Don’t say “Progressive” when you mean “Communist”.

Don’t say “amoral” when you mean “Evil”.

The left likes to cloak barbarism in innocent sounding phrases.

“Gender affirming care” instead of genital mutilation.

“Reproductive rights” instead of murdering unborn children.
