Your logic is completely in err. Part of battle is knowing what to give at times, and what not to concede. Language is not something that is EVER given in concession, once language is given up you find yourself in the predicament we have today. PC speak aka communist speech has changed the American variant of the English language to a point of commonplace that every normal conservative patriot people use the oppositions words without realizing it. Words mean things, and if their meaning is constantly mutable then how do you have a conversation, discussion, or argument with anyone if no one knows what the hell is being said?
Simply because the opposition isn't using the proper definitions, there is zero obligation on anyone's part to follow suite. If someone wants to use a euphemism, or some PC BS word, make them define it, do not just act like nothing happened when they obnoxiously use them. Question them, push them, push back
How many times have you been in conversation and someone you are conversing with, or perhaps you yourself have used some of the following or someone says I really shouldn't say that because it isn't PC.
Trans
African American
Undocumented migrants
Assault weapon
Gay(not used as happy)
toxic masculinity
Fat acceptance
CIS(what the actual F?)
The list goes on, and on, and on..........
Granted this is only a sampling list, but the terms and euphemisms are used by the opposition CONSTANTLY. There are more made up, phony terms, that seemingly come out on a weekly basis b/c these people do not want the real definitions used, the media is complicit, the politicians use these moronic terms, and of course entertainment as well. Someone who has perverted intentions towards children isn't a "minor attracted person", they are a damn pedophile child rapist.
So where is your limit as to what words you will give up? Are you willing to give up family, Christianity, AMERICAN, or something else?
Jesus said it most aptly:
Matt 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
I'll add this as well
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
When you allow people twist the original definition of a word, you can now be caught in their web. Stalin said (paraphrasing) "Control the language and control the people".
Take back the lexicon, do not use retarded PC speak.
Rebranding isn't the same thing as a redefinition. Feed store X can stop selling hay, tack, and horse shoes to become a skate shop using the same name, that isn't an issue, it is their prerogative, and that isn't what the left does. Calling mentally ill men ~ women, and visa versa is an issue. Propaganda goes hand in hand with the redefining of words, with the precursor being the implementation of euphemisms. It's always mild at first then gets ramped up as the use becomes more widespread.
For example:
No one is retarded anymore, they are mentally challenged, no one is crippled anymore, they are physically disabled, children(mainly boys) now have ADD attached instead of just being normal, somewhere along the line homosexuals disappeared and the gays have taken their place, Mexicans are now Latinos or hispanic(hah), anyone with folded eyelids is now "Asian", apparently you can't be Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, or Laotian anymore, no such thing as Indian, they are Native American, funny how they don't say Native Mexican as Mexico was invaded by the Spanish.
Those euphemisms are the doorway to altering the lexicon. Speak with someone who has lived in a former Socialist or Communist country, you will hear first hand about how the fallout when a definition is changed. Call it rebranding if you like, at it's heart it is still lies, deceit and propaganda.
Trump also said he is a "proud nationalist" too. That's what u/Scalloped_Potatoes is getting at, I believe. Stand your ground. I get that.
Yes but in the case of war. Using words that the opponent has successfully destroyed is just being stubborn in my view.
A fighter must adapt to something else.
Using language that is predictable is the easiest way for our opponents to counter it.
Standing your ground should be tested.
If you see that calling yourself a nationalist is changing the minds of the people under the lie. Then I am all for using it.
I don't see it that way.
Words like "Republican, Patriot, Rightwing, Conservative, Nationalist, etc".
Our opponents have already destroyed those words. They are less effective.
So it's time to adapt to a new language that removes the defenses of the brainwashed.
This is why tons of people are still asleep. It's because there is nothing new to the argument. The same language is being used over and over again.
This is why there is an impasse with a lot of people.

Not true.
It’s why they now call us a MAGA Republican.
Trump created a new term to rebrand the party. If you talk any marketing course.
You will understand the concept of rebranding! Organizations rebrand all the time.
They do not hold on to brand images that are tainted.
So go ahead. Use the same damaged branding to asleep opponents.
Let me know does it change their minds!
You have to come at it with a new angle and brand concept.
There is a reason why our opponents have won the culture wars in the past.
Because they know how important rebranding is. We need to fight the same way.
