Newspeak: “Sacrifice” now means “Joy,” “Ban” now means “Upgrade,” according to lib climate group
National Pulse ^ | Ivan Radik

Posted on 11/22/2024 4:28:28 AM PST by Strict9

A far-left climate change group has spent millions of dollars in a bid to help climate activists sound like human beings when interacting with other people. Potential Energy Coalition launched the “Talk Like a Human” campaign, which suggests activists use terms such as “extreme weather” and “overheating” in place of “climate change” and “warming.”Additionally, it promotes positive language like “enjoy” over “sacrifice” when discussing the future impacts of climate actions. The coalition emphasizes localized language, suggesting activists talk about pollution rather than the global scope of climate change.

There is a guy at my work who was always so angry at Trump. Never had anything positive to say. Now that the dems have been hit in the face with the fact that most people in the U.S. think Donald Trump is pretty amazing, yesterday, this guy at work actually mentioned a problem and said that Trump had spoken about the problem and, “we’ll see, maybe Trump can do something about that.” I literally almost fell over. Hell has frozen and pigs are flying. So yeah, the libs are altering their speech because that crap doesn’t change one mind to your side.

After anger and mourning comes acceptance.

I’m so glad that they want to ditch the word, “sustainable.” I am so sick of hearing that.

The left should also stop using the word FREE.....nothing is and they have used it ad nauseam to buy the votes of weak minded and ignorant people.

It’s criminal IMO

The conservatives need to use those words when DOGE takes over.

Agreed. I, too, propose us conservatives use new lingo.

“People empowerment” in place of firearms.

“Culture cleansing” instead of capital punishment.

“Rights of the weakest” instead of pro-life.

With liberals it's always changing the way 'words' are used. theri meaning and manipulation of perception.

The changes being done are to fool the yokels - climate alarmist have no intention of changing their ways or their slush funds or damage to the US over China - the changes are "to words" to fool people.

It's the same as the sexual mutilation and sterilization of children - liberal perverts call it 'gender affirming'...

My lefty relatives apparently recovered enough yesterday to invite everyone over for the standard Thanksgiving.

I am curious where they are in the stages of grief:

—Denial (Elon Musk stole it)

—Anger (Screaming and punching things)

—Bargaining (your co worker is here)

—Depression (check into rehab...lol)

—Acceptance

One of my college friends who I friended on FB has her head in the oven ever since the election. She swears the oppression will be unbearable. She posted a picture this morning from her mountain 2nd home with the snow on her Porsche.

Acceptance will be signaled by “We must work harder to drive out the Nazis in 2026 and remove TrumpHitler.

... most people in the U.S. think Donald Trump is pretty amazing ...

Really it was more of a categorical rejection of the Democrats rather than love of Trump.

The last four years were the Democrats openly making war on the people.

Sadly, it will probably work. The media and academia will use all the proper terms and within a year or so you won’t even hear the old vocab.

And notice how many of these new words are geared towards getting rid of a global issue and trying to make it a local one that people can relate to your easier.

“Talk like an human” is implicit admission that leftists are not humans but something else that has to learn to imitate human speech and thought. Actual humans should ask themselves “to what purpose?”

IMO the “Just Stop Oil” group in Europe has the right idea. They block streets and highways in Britain and elsewhere while holding their signs. I love watching the youtube videos of those Maoists being pushed aside by cars,trucks and buses as they screech in righteous indignation. I just hope no vehicles were damaged in any of them.
