I remember back in '15 when the left started saying this-or-that everyday object, gesture, innocent image, phrase, or even necessary part of a healthy diet was "alt-right". It was hilarious watching them scrape away at their free time, figuratively working overtime so they could put the extra cash in an envelope labelled "fuck you". Most of us were probably laughing, in fact, as we ignored the envelope and just took the money.
Now, recently, I have seen what appears to be some kind of psyop. People here are saying that if an individual uses certain words commonly used by the left, this is a sign that they themselves are also leftist. This in itself is a good observation and indeed, there exist many words used largely exclusively by the left, however, there is something about this that doesn't sit right with me, and it's that there is a solution.
When you see that all of your enemies communicate using very specific frequencies so the uninitiated cannot hear them, sure, it is a viable solution to tune in and see who does and does not belong there, but this is a very fragile solution as many will feign their leftism by also communicating at this frequency, using these words, without actually being a leftist. A much more viable solution that does not suffer from this issue is to broadcast on that frequency at so high a volume that it obliterates any chance of the left being able to communicate amongst themselves. Instead of denouncing these words, use them even more as you say normal right-wing stuff.
As an example, the word "problematic" is a famously unique "dog-whitsle" word employed by the left. "Problematic" has very intuitive meaning. Something that is problematic is called so because it creates problems. I believe all of us here can agree that the Left causes problems, and is thus by definition problematic.
Similarly, Toxic is another liberal catch-all, but all it really is (when used by the media) is an ad hominem attack on a person, which is how most people here would define toxic behaviour.
Start using their words. Drown out their communications. Don't let them win.
...disagree. People aren't "toxic", or "problematic". If I say chlorine gas is toxic, there's no misunderstanding, because I'm using the word as intended. Nobody that isn't retarded says "problematic", because troublesome says the same thing without sounding retarded.
I would say ad hominems are pointless, though. We shouldn't engage in them, because they're counterproductive. We can call our favorite jannies "faggots" as a term of endearment, but it's a shit attack vector.
Now, maybe I could say, "this is problematic genius, you toxic bastard" in the vein of "magnificent bastard", but it's forced, and that makes it weak. We don't need to force anything. All we have to do is highlight normalcy, because it resonates with normies.
Toxic was made popular due to Lyte from the League of Legends dev team. They thought it would be better to strictly police their userbase than anything else.
And I agree, for the most part using their words just plays into their trap. If they ask "Are you a racist?" no matter what you say you will be guilty. If you say "Yes" then you are evil and they are justified in doing anything to harm you. If you say "No" then you must prove it or else you are just a lying racist.
You cannot argue and talk with people who have already made up their minds. Speak clearly and explain yourself as well as you can, you will win over any spectators far faster doing that than trying to "win" through force and tricks.
But it does feel like we are losing the voices of those who have spoken clearly and defied the hegemony, at an increasing pace.
Edit: Or am I just looking in the wrong places?
You certainly have to be careful where you speak the truth, because doing it in front of the wrong people can draw too much attention, even if it is what you honestly believe and have no bad intentions. In this case you must speak only some of the truth, and know which crucial details to omit.
Language really is a battlefield, I suggest watching this video about that.
