Words Corrupting Society
It has been observed that language is corrupted to attain a specific political end. By changing the meaning of words commonly used in the past to control the people who must now use them, such words have been weaponized by the Left.
The weaponized words include bipartisanship, reproductive rights, choice, identity, sexual orientation, progress, fairness, committed relationship, trans, climate, offended, outraged, homeless, health, world citizen, dignity, free, common sense gun laws, activist, moderate, living constitution, working across the aisle, same sex, safe sex, mainstream, homophobe, Islamophobe, white privilege, hate speech, gender, transgender, gay, advocate, offensive, recreational, collaboration, oppressed, repressed, indigenous, adult films, compromise, multicultural, environment, undocumented, community, green, visionary, global, consensus, change agent, equity, inequity, moderate, transformational, and the always reliable dead mules of double speak: diversity and tolerance.
Historic words are now used and understood in an almost opposite way from their original meanings to instead produce revolutionary emotionalism and mono-thought. This is why Adolf Hitler, quintessential socialist and a leading light on the Left, had a formal propaganda ministry. Bent language produces bent minds.
