The Destruction of Language Thread

[R_Niko]

Is the destruction of language deliberate? And if so why?

Yes. This topic is very serious.

Our language is our programming, it is how we communicate with others. We are conditioned at a young age to associate emotions with certain words. Orwell saw what was going on and you guys are perceptive to pick up on it. This is going on at a feverish pace within our society.

A clean and clear language is necessary for society to function and communicate effectively. Muddling it sews confusion and allows for the slow boil of changing the meaning of words and behavior of people over time.

As for why, the agenda can be seen by what words are being changed, and what emotions they are trying to evoke.

Example of negative associations:
- Rape/sexual harassment: Now expanded to include behavior that in the past was considered benign for a guy trying to get laid
- Abuse: Now expanded to include a guy not letting his wife spend their last $100 on shoes and makeup
- Homophobic: Created to discredit anyone who doesn't want to see in their face half naked leather clad men acting out depraved acts.
- Anti-semetic: Created to discredit anyone who criticizes Israeli foreign policy

"The fine folks who run the school system in Lincoln, Neb., are on a campaign to make their classrooms gender-inclusive. And that means teachers will no longer refer to boys and girls … as boys and girls.

“Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” reads a handout from the Lincoln Public Schools that was given to teachers.

The handout was part of an effort to educate teachers and administrators about transgender issues, educators told the Lincoln Journal Star.

“The agenda we’re promoting is to help all kids succeed,” Brenda Leggiardo the district's coordinator of social workers and counselors told the newspaper. “We have kids who come to us with a whole variety of circumstances, and we need to equitably serve all kids.”

So instead of asking boys and girls to line up as boys or girls, teachers have been encouraged to segregate the children by whether they prefer skateboards or bikes, or whether they like milk or juice.

“Always ask yourself, ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” the handout stated.

The handout, provided by Gender Spectrum, a website which "provides education, training and support to help create a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages" does not explain what to do if all of the children like juice or skateboards. But it does suggest teachers “create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet at the rug.”

Purple penguins?

The Nebraska Watchdog website published copies of the handouts, titled, “12 easy steps on the way to gender inclusiveness…”

One of the clearest proofs on what's happening with the english language nowadays:

Correct grammar is considered a "racist microagression":

I really hate the expression ''I'ma' instead of 'I'm gonna' which is short for 'I'm going to'. Ugh.

I think I've only heard girls say it, normally American.

Yeah, like saying "gonna" takes too much time. Your contraction is oppressing me. I'ma freedom.

George Carlin had a great bit on this topic way back. I can't seem to locate the video but some bits and pieces I remember:

- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder - replaced "shell shock" and sounds completely sanitized

- Senior Citizens - old people

- Physically Challenged, Handicapped - cripples. Even the Bible refers to these people as cripples, yet the PC police went out of its way to make sure we can't say it. Try calling a guy in a wheelchair a "cripple" and see the reactions.

-Mentally Challenged - retarded. Maybe the mackdaddy of them all. People lose their shit if you refer to a Down Syndrome individual as "retarded" despite it being the correct medical term for the condition.

- Faith-Based Organization - religious group.

- Touch base - meaning to get in touch with someone. Sounds nonsensical.

Carlin's main point was that simple, honest language was being slowly replaced with this euphemistic garbage. It's gotten much worse now, obviously.

There's an ROK article related to this but I can't find it. It describes how the Turkish language has been dumbed down in the modern era. There are fewer words commonly used to describe similar but not same concepts. The result of this is that Turkish people are limited in the capacity for complex thought by the narrowness of the language they have available to describe their world.

Edit: Found it.

Anyone who speaks of 'Equality' is an enemy of freedom of thought, speech and expression. More than any other word, Equality has been the most perverted and destructive concept in all of human history. No one has ever or will ever be equal, least of all men and women.

Other parroted words in the radical left's vernacular (that haven't been mentioned):
Solidarity
Agency
Devisive
Loaded

Suey Park is one of the most indoctrinated pseudo intellectuals that millenial feminism has produced. A quick viewing of any of her videos will introduce you not only to language degradation but also to reverse racism, reverse sexism, playing the victim, etc. Basically she hits all the angry made up feminist talking points as many times as she can. The above words are just short cuts feminists use to avoid having to clearly articulate their positions (because having to do so would expose their arguments as emotional drabble). Thus they throw these words around in casual speech so that any uninitiated joe will feel uninformed when they hear it and are more likely to lend credibility because, you know, "if it's over my head it's probably important."

“The claim to equality, outside of the strictly political field, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior.”
