quote:

The Left doesn’t debate. They rewrite the dictionary to hide reality. They rename uncomfortable truths with soft, clinical, or “compassionate” language so opposition sounds hateful. This is Orwellian Newspeak in real time.

Here’s an exhaustive list:

• Illegal aliens / illegal immigrants ? “undocumented migrants” or “people who immigrated” (erases the crime entirely)

• Genital mutilation / puberty blockers + sex-change surgeries on kids ? “gender-affirming care”

• Gender dysphoria (recognized mental disorder) ? “being trans” / “transgender identity” (now celebrated, no therapy needed)

• Mother ? “birthing person” or “birthing parent”

• Woman / female ? “pregnant people” / “menstruating persons” / “chest feeder” / “person with a uterus”

• Breastfeeding ? “chest feeding”

• Biological sex (male/female) ? “sex assigned at birth” (implies doctors just guessed)

• Normal biological people ? “cisgender” (invents a label to make the default weird)

• Homeless ? “unhoused” or “experiencing homelessness” (removes any personal responsibility)

• Equality (equal opportunity) ? “equity” (forced equal outcomes by identity)

• Riots, looting, arson, violence ? “mostly peaceful protests” or “uprising” or “civil disturbance”

• Prostitution ? “sex work” / “sex trade” (turns exploitation into a job)

• Abortion ? “reproductive rights” / “reproductive healthcare” / “my body my choice” / “pregnancy termination”

• Pedophilia / minor attraction ? “minor-attracted persons” (MAPs)

• Criminals / prisoners / thieves ? “justice-involved individuals”

• Slave ? “enslaved person” (shifts focus to perpetual victimhood)

• Affirmative action / racial quotas / preferences ? “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” (DEI)

• Censorship / banning speech ? “content moderation” or “combating misinformation”

• Obesity / fat ? “plus-sized” / “larger-bodied” / “body positivity”

• Islamic terrorism ? “violent extremism” or “man-caused disaster”

• Biological male in women’s sports/spaces ? “trans woman athlete” / “trans athlete”

• Defund the police / cut policing ? “reimagine policing” or “public safety investment”

• Poor / on welfare ? “economically disadvantaged” / “food insecure” / “underserved communities”

• Global warming ? “climate crisis” / “climate emergency” (amps the urgency when data doesn’t)

This isn’t politeness. It’s strategic. Change the words ? change the debate ? make truth “hate speech.” Once the old accurate terms are banned, you literally can’t discuss reality anymore.

Walton and Johnson used to call it, "The Pussification of the West." That's all it is. Too much soy in the food chain. Too many bitches in charge of HR departments and bureaucracy.

frick this nonsense.

I always felt like Pro-Choice falls in this category.

Choose what? A double quarter pounder with cheese versus a chick fil a sandwich?

I am Pro-Life. Outside of self defense and war, you know exactly where I stand.

They have no moral compass. Everything is objective.
Everything can be anything.
That's the attraction of the Marxist Dem party to so many unhinged folks.

Hmm, so 'Homeless' and 'Prostituion' are bad words that we shouldn't use? When I was young we never used those two words. We used 'Bum' and 'Whore.'

Doctor: What do you think, nurse?
Nurse: Well, he has a penis.
Doctor: Are you sure? It looks really small. Could it be some abnormal growth? Let's call it a girl. What the heck!

That started because YouTube will demonetize videos that use certain words. Suicide is one of those words as well as rape and at one point during the Biden censorship days, COVID.

The first one was even worse at one point -- remember they were re-labeled as "dreamers"?

This is exactly what Orwell wrote about in 1984. Oppressive government needs to destroy language to ensure their tyranny.

One of my personal favorites:

TAX CREDIT

When their voters, who produce nothing and pay no taxes, still get money back for......whatever the frick....while up to 40% of every dollar I make goes to some form of tax.
