RE: Bringing a Dictionary to a Gun Fight! Why it Matters When We Redefine Words and their Meanings

in #anarchy8 years ago

it's mostly this relativism crap. people use it because they want to be liars and don't want to be accountable. there is the evolution of language and, then there is manipulation to achieve an end. the difference between, the formation of dialects vs. george orwell's newspeak. what we are experiencing in America today is newspeak. a lot of new usages are introduced through entertainment or media in general. bad now means good. look at how the word, civilian, now is not used to apply to government and the police. the reality is the only people who are not civilians are military. this is used to control. look up the logical fallacies, learn them, use them. a constitutional republic is NOT a democracy. we are being lied to.

Well, words are defined by usage, but when the definition change comes before the switch in usage, that's where the problem lies.
