Alien is actually a term to describe someone who is not from this country or nation. And that I was very tired of the educational system (he is in HS) misusing words and assigning their own definition to those words. This inventing new definitions of words in the English language to incite negative reactions when they are used, has got to stop. He’s usually sides more with conservative issues, but the way this public eduction system continues to indoctrinate our youth is appalling.

I think one of the core concepts of the Frankfurt school of Neo-Marxism was to grab control of the language and weaponize it against the prevailing Christian-ethic based culture. I'm a bit rusty, but that's how I remember it.
Example: "hate crime" - as if the motive for a crime being 'hate' somehow qualifies the crime in some way. The thrust of this idea is to make the 'hate' aka an unacceptable politically incorrect attitude or thought a crime.
(political correctness is a Mao concept which in 18th Century would have been called 'anti-revolutionary')
I consider the very concept of 'hate crime' to be a toxic element (of which there are many) in today's cultural landscape.
Undocumented migrants being another slightly less toxic but still harmful example.
It was when I stumbled upon the Frankfurt school that I finally could make sense of the crazy cultural shifts my society had been undergoing for decades...
