Yes, controlling the language, and the right’s concession to it, has allowed the left to cut off debate by either re-defining the terms (”gay”, “queer”), or banning them (the term “thug”, used to describe those who engage in thuggish behavior such as looting). When the words have been re-defined or banned, there’s no language with which to debate. The right has played right into their hands with the “Me Too” strategy.
Looks like a lot of us will be sitting around listening to “Pirate Radio”
