Leftists like to redefine words. We joke that it's because they can't win arguments -- but the truth is far more sinister. They do it to weaponize language.
We need to understand this and fight back, before it's too late.
Once upon a time, 'racism' meant to judge a person by skin color. Now, they've redefined it to be non-whites only. Then, having established that non-whites are victims and whites are racists, they created 'anti-racism' to mean 'a hatred of white people'. And if you're not 'anti-racist', i.e. if you don't hate white people, then you're a 'white supremacist'.
That is, they've created a war term with which to attack normal white people, and (as AG Garland recently demonstrated) they intend to use it to attack us.
These fake terms just popped into existence recently. And it all started when we allowed them to redefine racism.
They are doing the same for LGBT. Once upon a time, it was normal to be against degeneracy. But they flipped it around. Now they've redefined 'normal' to be pro-tranny and pro-gay. And if you're not pro, then you're 'phobic'.
They've quite literally branded all of us as having a mental illness (an irrational fear)! What do you think happens next? -- Do you think they will start coming for us 'mentally ill' types, and throw us into re-education asylums? The liberals will pretend to care, "we just want to help cure you of your hatred".
It's a war term, just like 'white supremacist', to justify attacking normal people.
This is the danger of allowing them to redefine words.
To fight back, simply stop using their words.
They're not normal, and we're not 'transphobic'. Let these fake words die.
We are normal. They are the 'pro-' or the 'anti-' or the '-phobic', not us.
We are normal, they are 'pro-tranny'. "You can be pro-tranny if you like, but I'm not pro-tranny."
We are normal, they are 'pro-murder'. "I believe that babies shouldn't be murdered. You can be pro-murder if you like, but I'm not pro-murder."
We are normal, they are 'pro-racism'. "I believe that people shouldn't be judged by their race. You can be pro-racism if you like, but I'm not pro-racism."
We are normal. They are the 'pro-' or the 'anti-' or the '-phobic', not us.
Let their fake words die -- before they weaponize them.
I despise the hijacking of our language to serve these f-k's and their disgusting vision of America. Always have.
They don't get to decide what 'hate' is, what 'love' is, or anything else.
Great post, OP
As another example, stop calling them liberals. They are not libertarian. They are not for freedom. They are not classical liberals. They are communists, and do not let them claim any positive connotations with liberty.
This is why I call them "Leftists." These authoritarians have nothing in common with genuine liberalism.
Another one to watch out for is how they refuse to use the word "man" or "men." It's always males, guys, or dudes, but rarely men. The same people who take great care to use sex-specific nouns to refer to animals, like "bull," "buck," or "tomcat," refuse to extend the same courtesy when referring to human men. Why? Because referring to men as "males" is a subtle form of dehumanization. "Males" can refer to any member of the animal kingdom, but only "men" and "man" can refer to humans. Additionally, they do it to strip the power out of the word "man." "I am a man" makes you sound far more serious and stronger than "I am a dude" or "I am a guy."
Be on the look out for this substitution of "males" when "men" would be more appropriate. It's everywhere. And you'll know it's deliberate when you see that they rarely do this to women. They're very good about saying "women" instead of "females," but they don't do the same for men. And the absolute worst are the racists who use "man" or "men" or for other races, but go out of their way to say "white males."
Finally, you can spot the Clown ops by their refusal to use the word "man." Proud Boys instead of Proud Men. White Boy Summer instead of White Man Summer. Which of those sound more serious to you--"boys" or "men"? Again, it's meant to infantilize. They are absolutely terrified of American men thinking of themselves as men.
'Vaccine' and 'pandemic' are good examples of recent weaponisation by means of re-definition.
Like 'all fda approved vaccines are safe & effective'... hehe not yet fda approved...
It seems like the same people in 109 countries
Too IGNORANT to realize their ignorance, so they RATIONALIZE IT!!! When did "Stupidity" get any rights, anyways?
