They play with the word “hate”, too. But I “HATE” modern leftist “liberals” in the traditional sense of the word “hate”, because they are Marxists masquerading as social critics and engineers with good intentions, whereas, they are actually “EVIL” to the core. . . in the traditional sense of “Evil”.
I remember when the then “Negro Community” asked that everyone change their language to “Black”.
Fair enough. I’ll call you what you want.
Now, they want “African American?” I don’t think so. You got your one shot at me for a lifetime. If ya messed up that one, I’ve go nothing else for you.
False equivilency. Hillary was just rattling off all the trickery of the meany media, in a recent speech.
Hmmm, conservatives need to play this game and use words to our advantage. From now on, I’ll refer to abortionists as baby-butchers, liberals as society-wreckers, and democrats as demonic-asses. No more nice labeling.
A couple of words I have come across recently are new to me:
intersectionality [has something to do with the fem movement]
woke [as in ‘woke’ comedian]
Then, there are the rules changes — such as ‘cultural appropriation’ being bad, whether it is eating a certain food or wearing certain clothing, etc.
It began with ‘Pro-Choice’ rather than ‘Pro-Abortion’.
The latest seems to be the word “gender”. People do not have “genders”, they have a biological “sex” that is determined at conception.

Yes, and the left sets the terms of the debate as soon as it hits the media, with the help of the media. Republicans always fall for it.
This is quite an impressive piece of writing.
Here, I think, is his most important idea:
“By separating gender from sex, linguistic activists tore the very fabric of mutual understanding, and created a new class of victims, and by definition, a new class of offenders.”
The Left wages some high level psychological warfare. They make what is normal, abnormal and then demonizes people who continue to embrace social norms. . The Left then rushes in as heroes and accumulates power.
Frankfurt School English Class:
Control the language, control the debate.
For example, there’s nothing at all ‘gay’ about being homosexual, and being ‘transsexual’ is an utter impossibility.
‘Pro-choice’ is a convenient euphemism for murderer.
It goes on and on.
I just refuse to play. I announce very loudly that PC is a tool for tyrants, and that I don’t permit anyone to choose my words. Then I inform them that I took an Oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and never recanted it.
