Something I noticed with this YouTube short talking about the insistence to use BCE/CE instead of BC/AD. Ironically that comment was left on a video discussing all the ways the Netflix Cleopatra was bad..
Wanted to know if anyone had any other examples to form a kind of list as we get hit by the big stuff of redheads turning black and trans after our kids we forget it's an attack on all fronts to destroy western culture and some of those attacks are more discreet.
Leftists often change the definitions of existing words to suit their aims. They redefined what a vaccine is in order to count the therapeutic clotshots which don't prevent infection or transmission as vaccines.
They redefined "racism" to allow for them to find racists under every rock while allowing themselves to treat people differently based on skin color "because racism is about power and privilege".
Yeah, it was a shock to see how tightly they controlled information when Hillary was caught laundering money from the state bank of Russia to foreign agents of Saudi Arabia to, in their own words, violently overthrow the US government. Nobody anywhere thought that this was newsworthy.
Further, the act of changing things that are functioning without issue using sympathy and empathy as the excuse.
Everyone knows what BC and AD mean, and what year they are referring to; there's no reason to change it other than subtle subversion. Heck, most kids probably don't even know what they stand for (like AM/FM or AM/PM) but they know what is signified.
Pathological, and obligatory altruism, without any religious component. Whether legally or through social pressure it takes away the significance of giving if you are forced to give.
Yeah it's a shame empathy has been wraponised to the point of being toxic thanks to the left.
I've restricted my empathy to friends/family (and that's on a case by case basis) children and pets/certain animals. The rest, the most you'll get is I might hold the door open if you're right behind me or give accurate directions.
Too many to count.
But the biggest thing is getting the foot in the door under the guise of tolerance, respect and 'human rights'.
The BCE/CE thing was one of the earlier canary in the coal mine subversions I noticed. As far as I know it was originally preferred by Jews who were offended by BC/AD. The tipping point was when Wikipedia started using it. They originally said it would only be accepted on NEW pages and old text would keep BC/AD, but the replacement gradually seeped into everything.
Oh right, the era... centered around that event....
Before Christian Era/Christian Era
It's hard to tell sarcasm on the Internet sometimes but BCE/CE stands for Before Common Era / Common Era
Which is really egotistical, at least with BC/AD it has religious contentions, this just sounds like 'everything before that point was beneath us, only after that point does history truly matter'
How they define protests or how they handwave away destructive rioting as “racial justice protests”. Also the term “gender affirming care”
I watched Matt Walsh's doc for the first time last night.
I have my issues with Jordan Peterson.
He had a great clip though pointing out that ethical/principled therapists aren't supposed to "affirm" by presupposition whatever mental models their clients present with that cause them to seek care in the first place.
Yeah, his psychology stuff is where he really shines, if only to contrast how corrupt and biased the rest of them are.
Unless you live in Canada then it's illegal not to "affirm".
Hell, Canada will affirn people to death now, literally.
I’m going to steal that line.
To understand the weapons of the enemy you have to understand where they come from. An understanding that is in short supply even on the right.
Leftism is an explicitly satanic ideology. This can be seen most clearly in their biggest false idol, "equal." It is the sin of their master, demanding to be equal to God, to have nothing rule them but themselves. It's why they use words like "marginalized" now, and "downtrodden" in the past.
They do this in part to suggest that moral authority equates to oppression. Satan claims himself oppressed by God, and the followers of the devil claim themselves oppressed similarly. They foment discontent, telling the lessers among men that their problems come from someone else, claiming that anyone above them in any way must have obtained this status by untoward means. This is seen quite clearly in both basic Marxist theory and in modern times with the obscene jealousy the black race shows to their betters and the insane obsession with onerous taxation.
This corruption infects a culture and can become commonplace quite easily. Take for example the repulsive term "the less fortunate" when used to refer to the poor or homeless. As if success is solely attributable to random chance. It's a lie on it's face and yet it's everywhere, even among those ostensibly on the right.
They ask for concessions they paint as easy, painless and simple to follow. If you refuse, however, you are causing irreconciable harm and are actually killing people.
The will always incrementally insert their agenda in such away that reacting to any particular encroachment paints you as the villain.
Feminists will insert their "women are paid less" or "emotional labor is unpaid" talking points. Or "not enough women are doing x job" or whatever. Or talk about "unrealistic beauty standards" when those standards are usually "make an effort". Then will cry and accuse you of "misogyny" at the smallest pushback.
Race marxists will do stuff like always bringing up past "discrimination", push to "celebrate black voices", always pointing out when someone isn't White.
Faggots will put their buttsex flag and colors everywhere. Once it is everywhere you look they start to demand special privileges, because how can anyone deny them when they are in occupied territory?
They always deny their agenda and frame it as "its just being a decent person". A normie who isn't in the game and has been brainwashed by decades of subversive propaganda instinctively believes them. Doubly so for women who are almost incapable for doing anything that they think will paint them in a negative light with their peer groups.
This here is the primary and most important tactic to understand. It preys on the sympathy of some and the pathological altruism of others. With the advent of kiddie drag queens, it would seem that the "slippery slope" does not exist with progressives and they can use "being a decent person" to justify anything.
It's a particularly gross bit of moral sleight of hand. Only their ideas of morality are true, and only for the moment: they will change. Anyone, past or present, who does not fall in line is morally bankrupt. This includes me, you, and 99.999[repeating]% of everyone who has ever lived.
Jk Rowling, leftist wing nut and beloved cultural progenitor, was cancelled over one opinion that was totally accepted not 10 years ago.
I love "emotional labor is unpaid", as though women are the ones dealing with their own emotional baggage and hissy-fits, as opposed to their husbands and boyfriends.
But any man trying to claim debt for the emotional labour he provided will be viciously attacked because he is not in a victim group.
They'll do every horrible thing they accuse others of doing, justifying it by claiming victimhood.
One would be "The Gaze". Can't do this, can't do that, it might attract... "The Gaze". As far as I can tell, "The Gaze" is some kind of devil or demon in their mythos, but its influence carries well beyond their internal cult.
The Gaze is an insidious demon, because The Gaze's mere existence is defined as violence... Until it isn't. Which is usually when someone purchases absolution from their priestly caste: The Gaze, ultimately, isn't important. You can engage with it as much as you like, so long as you pay due tribute (but remember, it is horrific violence if you don't pay tribute!). But showcasing that you believe in their demon is an important humiliation ritual for them.
The demonification of The Gaze boils down to an attack on basic biology, a request that you, and all your works, and all your enjoyments, from a thoughtcrime-level upwards, deny that biology exists, deny that evolution exists, deny that objective reality exists: Because in an objective reality their ideology crumbles to dust.
They are good at abusing the laissez-faire, libertarian inclinations on the right.
No. Be straight and true. Like an arrow.
Best example, Cis, even my normie relatives are going 'wtf is cis? What does that even mean?'
That's easy to answer for others. "It's a slur word that perverts use against normal people."
I mean in that case it's an old Latin root that had legitimate use in other real sciences as short hand for "on the same side as".
The stupid part with the gender bullshit is pretending there are two biologically immutable traits that can align on the same or different sides of a divide (binary sex=/=gender) to apply the cis/trans nomenclature to. Rather than one trait and an array of wilfully ignored mental illnesses
Yep, I first learned the term from a map of the Roman Empire: Cisalpine Gaul and Transalpine Gaul. Gaul was partly on the same side of the Alps as Rome, and partly on the opposite side.
I won’t let anyone call me cisgender though, I insist on “normal” or “mentally healthy.”
So would 3rdgenders/non-binaries be gauls, then?
Oversexualized is another example.
It works. Just look how many people say 'problematic' now for anything even remotely inconvenient, when there are at least half a dozen other words that would be more appropriate.
"dangerous"
"mis/disinformation"
