Hate Words in Politics1320872
We need to be capable of acknowledge what words mean. It appears as though this kind of obvious matter not worth mention, because words are pretty simple things. They mean what they mean, and everyone knows those definitions. So why should it be necessary to explain that we have to agree on them once we already do?Mostly because many people seem to still find it best if you subvert the established meanings of words for their own political purposes.
These individuals recklessly exaggerate and outright lie to get their ends, and the loser is the English language. This misuse of words creates what exactly are called “buzzwords”. They're used frequently all over the political spectrum, however the left have a particular penchant for employing them, and 2 of the favorites to make use of against those involved with conservative right are “racist” and “xenophobe”.Prior to getting into what is being done to those words regularly, let's ask ourselves: Can we understand and concur what you mean? It's worth the cost to completely think about that question, because history shows us precisely how ugly these words may be. Previously, it was common across the world (including, sadly, in the United States) for people of African descent being subjugated and enslaved totally free labor by whites around the understanding, taken for granted, that blacks were inherently inferior and possessed of no human rights which whites were sure to respect (to explain an exceptionally vile Supreme court decision handed down in the nineteenth century). That's racism. Moreover, with this ach day, you'll find people owned by a specific religion who are so convinced of the rightness of their faith along with the wickedness of others that they are wholly intolerant of people that profess a different world view. People who find themselves nothing like options are punished in a variety of ways, including with death. That's xenophobia.But the left wants to throw these words around like they do not describe true evil, and use these phones label people of the right wing political persuasion and those in the Alt Right movement. And why? Which are the crimes of individuals so branded? Usually being concered about people from areas of the planet recognized to harbor terrorists (such as the aforementioned religious zealots) and planning to promote border security against illegal invasions from people who get lucky and overwhelmingly participate in a specific ethnicity. That, on the left, is xenophobia and racism - our buzzwords for the day.
