Dictionaries/wikipedia changing the meaning of words in order to help the left win arguments.

A thread🧵

@Cernovich gives us our first example: wikipedia redefining "recession" to help Democrats👇
2/
When Republicans put Amy Coney-Barret on the Supreme court the left chaged the meaning of "court-packing" and dictionary .com went along with it. ImageImage
3/
Speaking of Amy Coney-Barret...

When Amy Coney-Barret used the term "preference" wbile discussing sexual orientation the left pretended that "preference" was offensive, and Merriam-Webster changed the definition in order to make that lie stick👇 ImageImage
4/
The transgender people got merriam-webster the change the definition of the word "female" to include "gender identity" (pic 1) when that was nowhere to found as recently as 2019 (pic 2) ImageImage
5/
Of course changing the meaning of "female" means changing the meaning of "girl"

(H/T @libsoftiktok) ImageImage
6/
And of course changing the meaning of '"girl" means changing the meaning of "boy" ImageImage
7/
We also find that vox celebrating the fact that Merriam-Webster changed the definition of racism to include purely "systemic oppression." ImageImageImage

@chadfelixg points out that google changed the definition of the word bigot ImageImageImage
9/
The left did not like us pointing out their use of "cultural marxism" (a term found in academic literature to refer to marxist cultural analysis) so they changed the meaning of that word to be an anti-semitic conspiracy theory... and wikipedia went along with it.👇 Image
10/
The left did not lile non-white voting for Trump...so they changed the definition of "whiteness" to include black, brown, and hispanic people.

The dictionary didn't go along with this...but the washington post sure did. ImageImage
11/
The game the left is playing is to shift the definitions of words in their favor, and then get dictionaries and wikipedia (the common sources people use to check definitions) to do their dirty work and change the official definition to reflect what the left wants.
12/
The left can't win on the merits so they have to play fast and loose with the definitions. They have to use linguistic sleight of hand to make it look like they're winning.

@JackPosobiec points out that wikipedia has redefined the word "definition"

This teacher admits she doesn't know when America was founded. She also says she doesn't teach her students the curriculum, but instead teaches about protesting anti-racism, activism, and Black Lives Matter.

So....Let's talk about the Department of Education.

A Thread🧵
2/
The entire education system, including the Department of Education, is full of activists, professors, teachers, and other people who thing teaching is a political act, and that Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.
3/
In his book "The Critical Turn in Education" Isaac gottesman, explains how leftist brought marxism, feminism, and Critical Race Theory into universities and used them to radicalize the field of education in the 70's and 80's Image

There's a story behind the squirrel story everyone's missing.

A man had his home searched for 5 hours until officials found his pet squirrel, which they took and then killed.

The problem isn't that government broke the law, the problem is that it *didn't* break the law

/🧵
2/
People analyze this story as an abuse of power or as government over-reach, but that's not the problem.

The problem is that everything the government did, including killing the mans pet, was LEGAL.

And that's what people find scary: the government is allowed to act that way
3/
The problem is not that the government broke the law, the problem is that the government terrorized a man and his family, disrupted his life, destroyed a source of his income, killed his pet, and left him heartbroken...and doing this was totally legal.

When lgbtq+ activists talk about 'queer' they don't mean "being different."

The lgbtq+ activists definition of "Queer" is about opposing and abolishing *ALL* social norms, and abolishing the idea that anything should ever be declared to be "normal"

Queer Theory,

A Thread🧵
2/
"Queer Theory" is an academic discipline which claims to study human sexuality, except that it does not use *science* to study secuality.

Queer Theory analyzes sex, gender, and human sexuality using a method of engagement created by neo-marxists called "Critical Theory."
3/
In 1937 Max Horkheimer wrote an essay called “Traditional and Critical Theory” which explains the difference between "traditional theory" and "Critical Theory."

According to Horkheimer, traditional theory is purely descriptive; its only goal is describe the world as it is...

To show you how captured by wokeness Government institutions are, here's a list of insane things published by *JUST* the National Institutes for Health. /🧵

They hired a "fat activist" to write about "fatphobia, and say there's no evidence for safe weight loss. Image
Image
2/
The NIH has an article about "Hari discrimination" and the prospect of living with "Black Hair in an Unjust Society" Image
3/
They have a 3 part series on "intersectionality," a term coined by Critical Race Theorist Kimberlee Crenshaw.

The entire series is about how institutions are systemically biased against women in various ways, and how employees ought to advance DEI as a way to fix this. Image

The National Institutes of Health hired an activist who claims:

-obesity doesn't cause poor health
-safe weight loss isn't possible
-poor outcomes for obese people are caused by fatphobia, and anti-fat bais

America's largest Health organization is captured by activists/🧵Image

These ideas come out of an academic field called "Fat Studies," which has it's own academic journals. The ideas from Fat Studies come almost entirely out of Critical theory and Postmodernism.

Those who work in Fat Studies call themselves "Fat Scholars" and "Fat Activists." Image

3/
Fat Studies is postmodern, and as such is accepts the postmodern idea objective absolute, universal truth does not exist.

Postmodernism says all truth claims are socially constructed, and are thus polluted by the biases, interests, and agenda's of the people who created them.
