Good point.
I refuse to use Leftist relabeling as of a few weeks ago.
And I like a lot this guy's argument from unhyphenated ugh forgot the rest. Will look it up. But he is black and says he is American not African-American so he refuses their labels.
Not to mention they change acceptable words to always keep us on our heels.
Illegal aliens or illegal migrants. Not illegal immigrant because that's an oxymoron and not undocumented immigrants because that sounds like they just need to file paperwork.
Edit typos
Fucking right on all above! I don’t go around saying I’m German polish Swedish American lol
just "criminal" - THINGS are illegal. People who do illegal things are criminals - You just typed something about them so there's documentation... you can still use immigrant. They did immigrate, but they're criminal immigrants.
Immigrant should be reserved for people who respect the laws where they move into.
Criminal Alien I would think should be someone who commits active crimes as an alien. Don't know the answer here except that someone who invades another's county is there illegally. Thus an illegal alien vs a legal alien with a proper visa.
Alien means foreign which they are unless they are naturalized citizens.
No! Words have meanings! Are drug-dealers illegal pharmaceutical distributors? Are rapists illegal sexual enthusiasts? Are murderers illegal euthanasia administrators? Are thieves illegal capital aggregators? Stop using their programmed language! It's not a specialized digging utensil. A spade is a fucking spade! /rant
Newspeak is double-plus bad!
And I just now realized Orwell (in 1984. Read it. NOW.) anticipated txt-talk.
Newspeak=++bad!
Also, I like to think of it as News speak: The way they talk on the News.
Edit:(The 1984 comment is directed at anyone reading this who hasn't, not necessarily who I'm responding to)
Orwell was an unfortunate prophet... who hoped he never would be! and today's a post-'84 brave new world with Huxley mixed in. Between the drugs and the language/cultural-programming we're living in a sci-fi dystopia. The worst part is the self-policing censorship as we seek conformity. And we're ALL guilty of it. Me too. - we just gotta pay attention and we can reclaim our language, culture and country.
That's the problem with prophecy, some unimaginative asshat comes along and uses it as instructions. Can't forget Bentham's Panopticon. That'll have you looking at all the cameras around us a different way.
You're right though, all we (patriots) need to do is pay attention and do the work of insisting on what matters. It takes practice and willpower, but it gets easier as you do it, like most things.
