Google Redefines The Word ‘Fascism’ To Smear Conservatives, Protect Liberal Rioters
Daily Caller ^ | Feb. 4, 2017 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 02/05/2017 7:11:11 AM PST by Twotone

Has Google, the world’s most popular search engine, changed the definition of the word “fascism” to protect liberal mobs using violence to silence those who disagree with them politically? The evidence suggest they have.

You see it on signs at every protest or riot — liberals accuse President Donald Trump of being a fascist. The word’s association with Adolf Hitler and its use now is no accident, it’s meant to strike fear in people’s hearts of tyranny.

Merriam-Webster defines the word “fascism” as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.” The secondary definition is “a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.”

There was a time when the lefties were inspired by the slogan, "Question Authority".

Somewhere along the line it morphed into them wanting to grant government complete authority in all aspects of life.

Fascism is what happens when the respectable class doesn’t stop the rioting leftist degenerates. Jonah Goldberg wrote a clever book about “liberal fascism”, but he had to change the definition to make it work. Leftists are not “facists”. They are violent, they bully, but they are not fascists.

It is a very dangerous thing that the world’s default search engine is run by leftists. “Google it” is even part of the language. It’s Orwellian.

I dealt with Google, Inc. from the inside.
They are truly evil.

Re-defining fascism as on the Right has been one of the Left’s most successful propaganda moves.

What about sources of information (mainstream media)?? Sources of learning (k-12 public, colleges and universities)?? Entertainment??

HOUSES OF WORSHIP??? (More and more of them)

It’s almost hopeless... But Trump did win the election even with voter fraud for Hillary. So some of us do get it.

The Left's Orwellian assault on the truth is not limited to corruption of the language, but extend to a total distortion of historical and contemporary events.

In today's battle for the future of America, one side is calling the other side "Nazis" and "Fascists."

But to determine the truth, shouldn't we compare each side to the actual historical groups who called themselves "Nazis" and "Fascists."

Both Hitler's Nazis and Mussolini's Fascist gained power by:
- Crashing and disrupting their opponents' political rallies
- Violently shutting down attempts of their opponents to speak publicly
- Taking over college campuses and demanding ideological compliance and the removal of opposition faculty and students
- And many other similar methods we can see today across our country.

But which of today's groups are displaying Nazi and Fascist behavior?
Was it Trump supporters (backed by his campaign) who were sent to disrupt Hillary rallies?
Was it Trump supporters who went to riot in Berkeley to stop a speaker?
Is it Trump supporters who have been driving free speech and those who dare engage in it off America's campuses?

Who are the Nazis and Fascists?

Haven’t used Google in years. There are many more search engines out there that simply “search”, not redefine English, or set agendas.

As one quote I saw went, unattributed: our grandparents died fighting the nazis and fascists so that we could be called nazis and fascists for believing the same things they believed.

Just for grins I went to look at the Wikipedia definition. It’s even worse than Google’s. And when was it updated?

I looked it up too. There is a “feedback” button on the site. I clicked the “this definition is wrong” choice. You can also leave comments. Go for it Freepers!

Speaking of that era...

I love it when I here or read that Trump is a Nazi for his pause on immigration entry from those 7 Muslim countries and then in the same breath compare it to our WWII era barring of German Jews from entering.

Don’t they know it was FDR who barred the Jews? Don’t they know FDR was not a Nazi, but the President who fought the Nazis?

Thanks for that reminder. I have left feedback, & reminded them of their motto: Don’t Be Evil. Trying to change history is evil.
