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

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"

The left painted Christianity as a cringy, outdated, stuffy, religion of oppressors, so now leftist women looking for faith are picking the only religion they're allowed to like (Islam codes as brown so it can't be criticized), even though it makes the handmaids tale look tame.
Women on the left outnumber men on the left by a HUGE majority, and refuse to date right wing men. So a huge number of leftist women are therefore competing for a tiny number of leftist men. So Leftist women have almost no leverage when negotiating the terms of a relationship...
And because leftist women have adopted feminist liberation and consent morality, they have no morally consistent way to demand that men commit to them or settle down; as long as everything is consensual, leftist women have no moral grounds to demand men stop "dating around"...

Carney gives the appearance of getting things done, so people see him as accomplishing things, defending Canada and making change happen.

This will hold for a while, his support is rock solid.

However, Carney is headed towards a brutal recession, and *stagflation*

/🧵

There is a difference between a recession and stagflation. A recession is just when an economy shrinks, and you usually get high unemployment and low productivity.

Recessions are bad, (no one likes unemployment) but they're nothing compared to the monster known as STAFLATION
3/
Stagflation is when you get a combinations of high inflation, high unemployment, stagnant growth, and lower productivity. And that combination of inflation, low productivity/growth and unemployment leaves the government with no good policy options for solving it because...

This kind of joke is becoming popular on the left, and I think it's because on a subconscious level they know they're all just using social justice as an excuse to create theories they can tactically deploy to grab the upper hand in social situations. Image
Whenever they don't get what they want they invoke social justice discourses (feminism, Critical Race Theory, BLM, decolonization, etc) as a way to get the moral leverage they need to get the upper hand in whatever interaction they are having
And they do this constantly in interpersonal interactions and personal relationships, where they invoke social justice jargon in order to grab moral authority within the conversation so they can get what they want.

The biggest problem with letting illegal immigrants stay is that it is unjust. Why does nobody make this simple point?

It is unjust to ask immigrants who come legally to work for years to become citizens while letting those who enter illegally to be rewarded with citizenship.
When there is a set clear of fair rules for how immigration is to be done in a in orderly fashion, it is unjust to allow illegal immigrants to break the rules, skip to the front of the line, and then be rewarded with visas or citizenship just because left wing activists demand it
It is unjust to allow illegal immigrants to be rewarded for breaking the law and skipping to the front of the line. It doesn't matter if you feel empathy for the person doing the law breaking and the line skipping - it is unjust to reward that person with residency in the country

Leftists are having a tough time with Venezuelans celebtrating Maduro's arrest and the persians overthrowing Irans Islamic regime, because it means the people are rejecting both the communist and islamic halves of the leftists new islamo-communist/third world marxist coalition.
The left wanted to harnass the energy around the palestinian issue and use it to advance western marxism. So, they created an alliance between western marxist activists and Islamic fundamentalists/Hamas supporters using third-world marxism and postcolonial theory as the bridge.
They thought by getting the popular support of global south "subaltern" third-world groups, along with the support of the Islamic world, they would have a coalition big enough the challenge the United States, and which they would control by virtue of having organized it.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) created a DEI program focused on:

-Power, privilege, and oppression
-Understanding microaggressions
-Centering Native Voices in Atmospheric Sciences
-Knowledge that "does not come from science"

Wokeness at NCAR

A thread🧵 Image

2/
The NCAR had two programs. The first was called UNIEON (which stands for "UCAR/NCAR Equity and Inclusion program"), and the second was a program they funded called "rising voices," which was about bringing "indigenous knowledge" into science.

And it's funded by tax dollars. Image

3/
The goal of the DEI program (UNIEON) was to bring DEI into the NCAR, and then get the participants to start implementing the DEI ideology via "Bystander intervention." That is, it invites people to insert themselves into other peoples social interactions in order to spread DEI Image
