language

 

How the left performs linguistic gymnastics in order to confuse, shame, sway opinions, exert control, etc.

 

In George Orwell's book 1984, war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. Similarly, liberals are famous for their Orwellian tactic of perverting language. Here are a few examples:

 

Their deceptive language What they really mean and/or truth
Our Democracy™ The democrat party's way. The democrat party's Marxist agenda dies if you don't vote democrat. Hint: Voting is democracy.
Democracy™ is on the ballot Trump is Hitler. Dog whistle to trigger a democrat brownshirt to go out and assassinate Trump.
Trump's assault on American Democracy™ Pure hysteria
The Science™ The politics. Ignoring of science.
The Science™ is settled Oxymoron statement. Science is never 'settled', especially when it's something as complex as climate change or COVID.
Misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, misleading Terms used as a fascist power/ moral superiority grab. Conveniently subjective terms used as a pretense to censor 1st Amendment-protected information, facts, or opinions that contradict their lies and propaganda.
January 6th insurrection, attack Vastly peaceful Republican protest. Nobody has ever been charged with insurrection. False pretense to stop Trump in 2024. "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." - Donald Trump on Jan 6th
Protesters, mostly peaceful protesters, pockets of unrest, just trying to put food on their tables Term used to downplay democrats, leftists, immigrants, ANTIFA, and/or BLM behaving badly, arson, rioting, vandalizing, looting, assaulting, killing, refusing to accept results of the 2016 election.
Shots fired, apparent gunshots rang through the crowd, shooting at rally, loud noises, golf club incident Assassination attempt on Trump! Prevent Trump from becoming a martyr/hero.
Climate denier Assumes that they are right, the debate is over, and The Science™ is settled
Election denier Assumes that they are right, there was no 2020 election fraud (there was plenty). Ignores Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, and Al Gore election denialism.
The 'Big Lie' Democrats hysterically borrowing from Holocaust denial language
Contemporary scientific consensus Left-wing GroupThink. Cherry-picked, government paid scientists own the science. Fancy language to justify censoring anyone who challenges their unsettled science.
Climate action The word 'action' falsely implies that humans can actually do something to affect earth's climate. The only 'action' happening is the raising of taxes and erosion of our freedoms.
Climate change, global weirding When we had record cold winters, the term 'global warming' became a publicity nightmare.
Climate crisis, climate tragedy, climate bomb, global boiling Just add hyperbolic language, and in a Pavlovian response, the peasants automatically get terrified. Pure hysteria.
Climate change denial The left confessing through projection. The science is not settled. Skepticism is rational.

Diversity is our strength Less white people. Diversity is our undoing. Diversity unravels cultures and countries. If diversity actually was a strength then they wouldn't have to constantly repeat the phrase.
Corporate Social Responsibility A happy name for corporate discrimination. Woke companies colluding with each other to hire based on race, LGBTQ, and gender over merit. Climate change nonsense, anti-oil, anti-guns, anti-tobacco, etc. Also, penalizing consumers who don't adhere to the woke ideology.
Climate justice White people are to blame for weather and people of color are suffering as a result.
_______ justice Whether it be climate, LGBTQ, social, or anything else, just insert the word 'justice' in order to magically create a Pavlovian response of racial outrage.
