Most of us here understand what you're saying but confusion about the gaslighting, corrupted language, and other forms of lying from the Left (and from the Enemy generally) is still common, and you've put together a brief, excellent primer on how [they] have been using mendacity to corrupt, degrade, and destroy society.
Great post! I hope you consider doing a dedicated post or series of posts for the topic; you're good at this, RandomNumber.
For example, the Left-Right continuum is not "collectivism vs. individualism"; it is "government vs. civil society". The right sees a whole lot of "civil society" in the private sphere that appears to be totally invisible to Leftists. The family is the core building block of society, but the Left ignores the family and sees only individuals. The right also sees and supports voluntary associations like community groups, hobby clubs, and expecially charitable organizations and Chuch groups as being formal institutions in socity. These are invisible to the Left.
Similarly, their definition of "open" is simply how the left likes to see themselves! In reality, they are unsympathetic, procedure-driven, heartless, and willing to use violence.
I LOVE your analysis!
