  1. Exactly, this is how narratives are controlled. When you control the language and the words that can be used, you can control what arguments can be presented. The media accepting these types of euphemisms is one of its most glaring examples of how they have colluded with one side.

    • That’s a great point, AM. If you adopt the goofy language, it signals you are on board with the entire thesis the goofy language articulates, regardless of whether you even understand the thesis. Of course, journalists become experts at everything they report on by spouting jargon. Remember when earthquakes used to be earthquakes? Now they are called temblors. Dust storms used to be dust storms, now they are haboobs. “You know, morons.”
