Oddbean new post about login | logout The reason leftists seem preoccupied with language is because they are smart and they understand that language is the attack surface for both the human mind and the us constitution and legal system. They tell you not to say a word you better make sure you say it more. Never give them an inch. They always have nefarious intent. You don’t try and shape someone’s language if you’re not attempting to control them.
Agreed. And one of their most powerful techniques was explained very eloquently before it came to be: “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” George Orwell, 1984
It’s like the people trying to always convince us that America was a racist sexist torture chamber for anyone who wasn’t a white man. America is a beacon for freedom and has been since inception. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best country we got.
Native Americans, slaves and their descendants would vehemently disagree with you
Do you know native Americans owned African slaves?
As did Africans when they defeated tribes at war but there were codes and laws on how to treat them. They also didn’t own them by the hundreds of thousands nor go to war over them. Try again
And that gets captured as a narrative as well. A couple years ago there was a picture of a bunch of american politicians on one knee adorned with african scarves all over the news. I laughed my ass off when i saw it. My wife asked why and i pointed out that the pattern was classic Ashanti. That tribe had a long and distinguished history of slave traficking.
Kinda like what women do? 😂😂 JK or am I?
No you’re right Leftism is spiritually female Conservatism is spiritually male
And with leftism being the dominate cultural force at the moment, it makes sense that language would be attacked as harmful/hateful and used a method of control… sadly it’s working…

Nice post you gay retarded obese Jew 🤙
Well said🌅 …the only change I would make is to substitute “tyrants” for “leftists” IMHO it just so happens the tyrants with the biggest megaphones today seem to be leftists/progressives Their approach if successful will set the precedent for the tyrants of tomorrow which may or may not be liberals/progressives Once again…IMHO Corruption and tyranny aren’t confined to any political party but rather the addiction of all who remain in power too long🤔 This is why I think we gotta keep nostring and BTCing and any other forms of open source opting out…let the revolution begin and hopefully end peacefully 🌅
No it’s specifically a leftist/communist phenomenon.
Ima fan of urs and a Ron Paul/libertarian One of my fav parts of nostr is we can agree to disagree on the small stuff…and hopefully continue to challenge each other on a regular basis And what I hope is a bright purple and orange revolution can use us all…fight on my brotha🌅
💯 not even an inch 🫡
"Cache" --> "Cash" (Storage place for valuable things) --> (Monetary storage that ironically loses/destroys value) That new "cash" word for our currency (we called them dollars before 🤷♂️) was quite an effective psyop
There is also a thrill in the double speak. Communists get off on the confusion, that you would be able understand if you too were a good little communist. Communists are more than happy to accept logical fallacies to ensnare their opposition. Never let a communist use your values against you. Communism seeks to find the cleavage point where they can foist their ideological goals on a society. Communists are evil and only say what is useful to aggitate a society into choosing a side. They then try to create chaos to which they claim to be the antidote.
The self righteous have always been this way, it’s a battle that will always be present. Churchill said it best: https://m.primal.net/JvpS.jpg
But I wouldn’t agree about saying it more. That may in fact be their intention and also a control they are looking to create. Be calm and pragmatic don’t stoop to their level. Again Churchill said it best: https://m.primal.net/JvpR.jpg
that is why I am trying Nostr. i really think folks will get ambushed at twitter. but honestly I am a bit lost in here
