欧博官网Is the Dictionary Done For?
The break line is about 1980 when the 'inconvenient' historical meaning of words, "pelted him with a snowball" versus "a pelt of a beaver", became a focus.
Redefining language is about narrative control and silencing others.
- Inconvenient words (and ideas) are excluded from the common discourse
- Words and phrases are turned from their non-offensive meaning to an offensive meaning (and into ones with negative implications for your being employed)
- Modes of speech and references are categorized into good / bad
- Dividing people into groups so that any part of (person demographics) + (speech) + (difference in opinion) can be turned into a lose your job offense, exclusion from society, ...
- Commonly used words for socially negative behavior are softened and replaced with words seeking to "absolve" the person from their socially negative behavior (for only favored groups of people)
- The growth of approved persons from approved demographics gaining the unelected social power to interject themselves as judges of right and wrong; approved and punishable; social interactions. Those same approved unelected persons gaining the ability to judge and punish on less than a system of due process and innocent by default.
Repeating - All of these are for narrative control and silencing others so that everyone is "guilty" of some punishable "offense" at any time.
The common theme is a need for the 4% of the population focused on "policing others and policing social behavior" in the constant need to invent new derogatory terms for existing behavior, new ways to be offended, and making other people responsible for your feeling of safety even for irrational cases.
This allows those in the 4% to continually expand what everyone else must do and what government and tax payers should pay for as a way to gain power and control.
The easiest way to identify it is to determine if the person invents new derogatory terms for existing behavior of other demographic groups or repeatedly seeks out, learns and has to label things with the latest new derogatory terms. The need to shame and condemn in general, like the Victorians and some of the early 1980s right leaning political groups.
