The Demagogues Dictionary! A blistering blizzard of buzzwords!

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

I have un-pinned Republican Code Words.

Why? Because leftists now understand the idea of dog-whistles and code-words, and they take the idea so far as to shoot themselves in the foot. Things have gotten to the point where simple statements like "crime is bad" are interpreted as racist dog-whistles by the left. If one goal of secrecy is to make your enemies paranoid, we can declare mission accomplished here.

So instead, let's start listing new terms that can greatly clarify and streamline today's political communication:

(I did not invent all of these terms myself.)

CTRL Left - pronounced "control-left". The ALT-Right is the other side of the same coin.

Baizuo - Chinese for “white left". Maoist tactics, in particular during the Cultural Revolution, are a huge influence on the tactics of the CTRL-Left, and the Chinese know all about this. Plus the CTRL-Left ARE very white, and they squirm when you point this out.

Physical Terrorist - previously known as "terrorists", these are people who exploit laws so they are treated as noncombatants even as they engage in physical violence. Related: ActualFa - Previously "AntiFa"

Social Terrorist - people who use terrorist tactics short of actual physical violence. They use Rhetorical Human Shields - "criticism of my ideas is an attack on all brown people". They do character assassination, not just on politicians, but on noncombatants/non-politicians/non-public figures. They demand pity privilege.

Pity Privilege - we have separate rules for helpless toddlers, and every terrorist, social or physical wants to exploit this. See also CryBully. By climbing the Victimhood Hierarchy, crybullies get the privilege of punching people without being punched back - in return for being condescended to by the Nanny Race.

The Nanny Race - If the ALT-Right believes whites are the Master Race, the CTRL-Left believes whites are the Nanny Race. Always coddling the protected classes, even when the poor babies inflicted their problems on themselves - after all, the poor babies can't be expected to do any better. Related to "The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations".

No coincidence that history's least fertile demographic of women is into this. Emotionally fueled by Empty-Nestism, why be a crazy cat lady when you can adopt [protected class]?

Contrary to their slogans about "the future is [protected class]", rich whites expect to be acting as middlemen in The Coming Utopia.

The Middleman State - previously known as the "welfare state". Ever wonder why the welfare state doesn't just hand cash to the poor?

Culture War Mercenaries - previously "social justice activists". Explained here.

Culture War Conscription - drafting innocent bystanders with mandatory corporate "training" and slogans like "White Silence is Violence" "White people have to choose a side" and "there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other."

Outrage Archaeology - digging through someone's past in search of something to get offended by. One of the reasons new taboos are always being decreed, and innocent words being declared slurs. Very effective against poorer and less over-educated, who are last to get the memo.

WPKJ: Digging through history to get people angry and divided. White People Killed Jesus. Leftists got the idea for this from Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, Israel-Palestine, every other multi-generational genocide war where people get "justice" for centuries-old outrages by killing babies today. Every time a leftist says "Justice" they are actually saying "vengeance". (More on "justice": Part 1 and Part 2).

Historically oppressed - oppressed by historians.

Trojan Horse Term - previously Double-definition Game - previously "motte and bailey". Similar:

Rhetorical Gerrymandering - unilaterally changing the borders of a word's meaning in an argument. Original usage here. (Correction: first used here)

NonDebunking - arguing against a factual claim by attacking the speaker, declaring the idea problematic/heresy, or otherwise refusing to answer "well, is it true?"
.
Gated-Community Cosmopolitans - the notorious GCC. They may have had more contact with the outside world than eating a McBurrito, but they are not cosmopolitan enough to send expeditions deep into the jungles of NASCAR-land. A.K.A. Bigcity Bigot, overlapping with Rich-Supremacy.

Fainting-Couch Feminists and Smelling-Salts Socialists. They talk tough but turn out to be triggered-happy callout-cats.

The Klan With A Tan - take any piece of leftist propaganda, replacing the word "white" with "jew". Or "man" with "blacks". Here's a game where you have to guess if the author is a leftist or a Nazi, can YOU tell the difference?

The Red Holocaust - many millennials don't know that communism killed people, because the schools are run by red holocaust deniers.

The Red Swastika - previously known as "the hammer and sickle".

IslamoFactual - previously "Islamophobe".

Dine and Dash Economics - Today's voters order the lobster and then are outraged when the waiter delivers the bill. "Tax and Spend" is obsolete because "Borrow and Bomb" is more accurate (the term, not the bombs).

The anti-boy movement - previously known as "feminism".

Trophy Buying
.
UPDATE: Here's a serious Wokish-to-English dictionary that puts all my amateur work to shame.

NonDebunking - arguing against a factual claim by attacking the speaker, declaring the idea problematic/heresy, or otherwise refusing to answer "well, is it true?"

Another way to nondebunk is to simply quote a factual claim while speaking in a silly voice, doing all but adding a laugh track. See most of the El Chapo Traphouse podcast, or this video:

Ricky Gervais nondebunked our article on the Ten Commandments:

(Hey Ricky, how has your career been going since you messed with us? I hear in Portal 3 you'll only have 2 or 3 lines. As a Companion Cube.

God hears the prayers of His chosen elect, not the snickering of mockers and scoffers! )

Rhetorical Human Shields - "criticism of my ideas is an attack on all brown people".

Or "disagreement with me dehumanizes all [protected class]."

As postmodernists, they actually believe that reality is constructed by people saying magic words and thinking magic thoughts. If this sounds familiar, it should:

Next time someone says they've been dehumanized, say they've only been turned into a newt, and they'll get better.

Re: The Demagogues Dictionary! New political terms! Get buzzy with new buzzwords!

I think "victimhood aristocracy" might be more correct that "victimhood hierarchy".

In an aristocracy, most people are born into their position and stay there. In an argument between a Duke and a commoner, the Duke is always right and the commoner is not only wrong, but impudent for arguing at all. The commoner is "commoner-splaining".

Hierarchies, on the other hand, come in all types, some are informal, meritocratic, and fluid. That is completely contrary to the legalistic/lawyer-infested, race-based, calcified caste system that is currently under construction.

Think of the Southern Aristocracy/racial-pecking-order, only with the skin colors swapped.

TL;DR: the South has finally won the Civil War.

"Not Your Minion"

Leftist revolutionaries tend to be the spoiled children of the bored upper-class. They are close to the top, and they want to be on top. A world where they are second-best is what they call "capitalism", a world with them on top they call "socialism/communism/justice", regardless of actual policy. This is why "communism has never been tried" - because the particular leftist saying it has never been on top. It's also why the left is so uninterested in what happens after the revolution - who cares? They are on top, their birthright is being respected (justice), that's all that matters.

Problem: The West is a meritocracy, and spoiled rich kids don't have enough merit to rise to the top. Solution: violence.

Deciding to solve their problems with violence, they become revolutionaries. Problem: As as the spoiled children of the bored upper-class, they are as white, fluffy and melt-able as the snowflakes they are compared to.

Revolutions, A.K.A. civil wars, are not ideal habitats for the fluffy and meltable. So what is a revolutionary to do?

Solution: get minions to do your fighting for you. This is why the left used to be all about the proletariat, despite knowing almost nothing about the working class, and hating what they did know. The need for cannon-fodder makes strange bedfellows.

By the 1960's it was obvious this plan had flopped, but Mao was a rising star. So the left gave up on recruiting Proletarian minions and instead tried to recruit third-world peasants as minions.

Overnight the left suddenly did 180 flips on a bunch of issues, becoming all about unregulated mass immigration, alliances with dark-age reactionaries, turning a blind eye to antisemitism, violent crime, etc.

This is why it never works to tell leftists that they are allied with terrorists, violent criminal cartels, and rapacious savages. That's the whole reason the left chose those allies: they need people to do the dirty work that they, as over-socialized softies, are unable to do!

"Diversity is our strength"

So now you know what the left means when they say diversity: they mean their coalition has both a future ruling class (themselves) and a cannon-fodder class (brown people). The leftists know they are too weak to fight, and believe that brown people are to dumb to do anything without white leadership. But put the two together and they are strong. "Diversity is our strength".

Brown people need to understand: leftists don't love you for your funky music and flavorful cooking. They like you because you have a reputation for violence. They need you to carry out violence when the revolutionary war comes. You will be the meat-shield, soaking up the bullets while your fearless leaders lead from behind...From a safe distance. So they can keep an eye on the big picture, of course.

So the next time a leftist tries to recruit you, tell them you are Not Their Minion.

I'd like to mention

"paradigm shift"

"journey" (such as my journey out of fiscal responsibility which no-one else is interested in at all, not even slightly)

Talking about how the CTRL Left uses language is worthy of a whole new thread, but let's start here anyway:

"White Jews"

The campaign against “white Jews” on the progressive left is not an accident but a determined effort with several concrete ideological purposes. The first is to codify the position of Jews at the bottom of the social justice victim pyramid, as just another category of “whites.” This move is intended to downgrade or even erase anti-Semitism—a sin of which Farrakhanites, radical Islamists, and other important progressive allies are all guilty. “White Jews” erases that sin by stipulating that “Jews,” insofar as they are “white,” cannot actually be victims of hate–because they aren’t, functionally speaking, Jews at all. They are white people, and therefore, by definition, the oppressor and not the oppressed.

“White Jews” is therefore, first and foremost, an epithet—an attempt to make “Jews” synonymous with “white supremacy.” This move is especially invidious, since Jews—“white” or not—are themselves the primary victims of theories of racial supremacy, and anti-Semitism is central to white supremacist ideology, including in the U.S.

But the larger point of marking Jews as “white” is to render them political treif—unassimilable into the left’s virtuous coalition of the oppressed, which includes plenty of Third-Worldist groups and alignments that are rooted in a political discourse in which conspiratorial anti-Semitism is normal. The solution that progressives have apparently alighted on is not to educate their allies out of bigotry and ignorance, but to trim “Jewishness” of any traits that might set off wild, conspiratorial fulminations by the people they wish to position as innocent victims.

Notice how it is only Jews who are endowed with a racial descriptor; no one on the left is busy fingering “white Muslims.” This assault on reason and history puts Jews, or “White Jews,” in their place as inherently oppressive and vile, while gifting their valuable history of oppression to its “true” inheritors—namely progressives and their handpicked allies...

...intersectionality, not unlike anti-Semitism, is a conspiracy theory, one that hinges upon essentializing individuals into discrete and irrevocable racial, religious, or sexual-identity based groupings and ranking their virtue accordingly, in order to arrive at a more perfect form of justice, which will then rule the planet Earth. Intersectionality demands that the sectarian agendas and superstitions of a Palestinian-American woman in an arranged marriage, a Somali-born legislator who tweets about Israel “hypnotizing the world,” and a fellow traveler of a black nationalist cult take precedence over the universalist aims for which progressives used to stand.

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

Re: The Demagogues Dictionary! New political terms! Get buzzy with new buzzwords!

Machete Pacifist

The idea that white people are to blame for all the world's wars because the people who fight wars (brown people) buy their weapons from white people. Was the world has a peaceful utopia before the founding of Boeing and General Dynamics? No, if we somehow left our little brown cousins with only spears, they would kill each other with spears. Or in the case of Rwanda, machetes.

Related: "Blood Diamond". As if it's the diamonds that are killing people. All these arms embargoes to warzones do is give the advantage to the aggressors, who have been planning and preparing for violence, and therefore arming themselves, from the start. In America, that means Republicans, so I guess I'll stop complaining now.

...

Someday I will make a guide to leftist code-words, but there's a lot of them so the project is daunting. Here's one that sprung to mind:

Exploitation

The heretical idea that instead of elites deciding for them, women, poor people, and so on are capable of assessing their options for themselves, and making what deals they can.

Examples:

"Sure, they're unemployed and starving, but at least they're not being exploited".

"Men are giving money to women, and all the women have to do is possess breasts? That's exploitation!" (of women? )

Re: The Demagogues Dictionary! New political terms! Get buzzy with new buzzwords!

Machete Pacifist

Joined up thinking is not a strong suit among Leftist revolutionaries, many of whom have never even visited the places they think need liberation. Liberia would be a good example of that. They swallow theories wholesale with utter absence of cross-referencing if indeed they even know what cross-referencing of ideas means.

1. IDEA ONE
   • Machine age weapons are necessary for war
2. IDEA TWO
   • White people evolved from Africans

The history of machines could perhaps go back to Græco-Roman times but classical era warfare did not involve jet aircraft, nuclear submarines or cruise missiles. Nevertheless machines did exist but quite honestly do machete pacifists complain about the Emperor Honorius selling ballistæ to Greater Zimbabwe?

2 minute clip

No. There were some buildings, mud huts and later a granite citadel but conflict resolution was mainly through fire as evidenced by incinerated ruins. There is no evidence of imported artillery.

So there we have two very different ideas. The export of machine-age weapons to the third world creates warlords where, presumably, there would otherwise be peace and tranquility and simultaneously the idea that we're all evolved from the same mtDNA and X or Y chromosomes on the African continent so we're all the same and no-one's importing or exporting technology at all because we're all the same humans. Never mind that we were burning one another out well before the catapult was invented. It's called having your cake and eating it. Machete Pacifist would be an analogous term. But that requires joined-up-thinking forever denied to those who never read The Bible.

"Not Your Minion"

Leftist revolutionaries tend to be the spoiled children of the bored upper-class. They are close to the top, and they want to be on top.

There is more to this.

A leftist is born everytime someone says "I'm clever. I've read books. I should be in charge."

For most of human existence 99% illiteracy and 100% ignorance could be taken for granted. Anyone with literacy and a bit of knowledge was a genius, or a wise elder, worthy of being a philosopher king or at least a power behind the throne.

To be clever and literate and not be giving orders feels unnatural to a lot of people. They see the economy ruled by practical go-getters, often high-school dropouts. So the leftist turns against business. Not just "big business", if that were the case they could support anti-trust laws but be libertarian otherwise. They oppose business period, and oppose the idea of free markets because free markets means no way for clever people to control the economy without getting their clever hands dirty by actually running a business themselves.

You'd think any serious revolutionary would first do all they can to get the military and police on their side. And that's true, but leftists are not serious revolutionaries. They see that the military is a practical-minded meritocracy, so they turn against it.

If your business stinks, you go broke. If your battle plan stinks, you get defeated. But if your clever blahblahblah stinks, you can keep blabbing your cleverness forever. This is what the left really hates: meritocracy.

You'd think anyone who supports liberal policy would be like Steven Pinker and say "Look at how much better the world has gotten, let's see what liberal policy had to do with that". But they don't. To a leftist, there are only two political systems: the one where they are bossing people around, and the one where they aren't. And the world where they are not the boss has to criticized as horrible in every possible way.

A world where they are second-best is what they call "capitalism", a world with them on top they call "socialism/communism/justice", regardless of actual policy. This is why "communism has never been tried" - because the particular leftist saying it has never been on top. It's also why the left is so uninterested in what happens after the revolution - who cares? They are on top, their birthright is being respected (justice), that's all that matters.

Hence their love of vague terms like "change" and "progress" without any non-hazy idea of, or care for, what they are changing to or progressing towards.

This desire of the clever for the experience of power gets pretty funny when you look at art movements, especially architecture. They form circle-jerks where they pretend to having an effect on politics, flattering themselves with delusions of relevance. "This blob of paint will destroy patriarchy!"

Because they are so far from practical life, they end up producing things like city-design by poets: "We Futurist poets, architects and journalists have conceived the great unitary City as made up of continuous lines to admire from the air...". (Of all the things normal people prioritize in city construction, whether it looks pretty from a learjet is not the number one priority.) "...the parallel thrust of Aeroways and Aerocanals fifty meters wide..." (Shouldn't engineers be choosing the optimal width?) "...unify rivers realigned in harmony with the airway lines) [why?] will transform the configuration of the plains, of the hills, and of the mountains". Why? Apart from feeding the megalomania of poets, why?

Yes, I know the Futurists became fascists. All that proves is that there's very little difference between fascism and the left. The fascists (and the communists) may have taken their top political leaders from the gutter, but that's the only difference. The identity politics, statist megalomania, and perfectionist world-cleansing are all the same, whether your parents bribed your way into Harvard or you got rejected from an art school in Vienna.

Re: The Demagogues Dictionary! New political terms! Get buzzy with new buzzwords!

statist megalomania

Apologies for my earlier post: I'd forgotten this was a dictionary thread. Can you even imagine what would be going on in someone's head who thought they should rule all the world—more or less as a single state—and murder everyone who objected? Or who simply did not acquiesce? Or who were lukewarm in their response, acquiescing, but not with sufficient enthusiasm?

.–. Statist Megalomaniac

Toxic narcissism on such a scale defies reason; why, surely the less enthusiastic could be latrine attendants (3rd class) or someone maybe herding feral swine or polishing floors. Indeed, others have imagined activities even less appealing.

A messenger was despatched half a day’s journey before us, to give the king notice of my approach, and to desire, ‘that his majesty would please to appoint a day and hour, when it would by his gracious pleasure that I might have the honour to lick the dust before his footstool.’ This is the court style, and I found it to be more than matter of form: for, upon my admittance two days af- ter my arrival, I was commanded to crawl upon my belly, and lick the floor as I advanced; but, on account of my being a stranger, care was taken to have it made so clean, that the dust was not offensive. However, this was a peculiar grace, not allowed to any but persons of the highest rank, when they desire an admittance. Nay, sometimes the floor is strewed with dust on purpose, when the person to be admitted happens to have powerful enemies at court; and I have seen a great lord with his mouth so crammed, that when he had crept to the proper distance from the throne; he was not able to speak a word. Neither is there any remedy; because it is capital for those, who receive an audience to spit or wipe their mouths in his majesty’s presence.

Opportunity there for floor-sweepers extraordinaire! Necessarily they would be alive but of a very inferior rank. Given a choice between licking & being tortured to death, can I say I'd not choose licking? In this example however even less attractive options exist.

There is indeed another custom, which I cannot altogether approve of: when the king has a mind to put any of his nobles to death in a gentle indulgent manner, he commands the floor to be strewed with a certain brown powder of a deadly composition, which being licked up, infallibly kills him in twenty-four hours. But in justice to this prince’s great clemency, and the care he has of his subjects’ lives (wherein it were much to be wished that the Monarchs of Europe would imitate him) it must be mentioned for his honour, that strict orders are given to have the infected parts of the floor well washed after every such execution, which, if his domestics neglect, they are in danger of incurring his royal displeasure.

Incurring his royal displeasure, yet still alive. Whipping was an alternative here (but not for our murderous narcissist who'd kill everything outright) and in this allegorical account clemency is an option too.

I myself heard him give directions, that one of his pages should be whipped, whose turn it was to give notice about washing the floor after an execution, but maliciously had omitted it; by which neglect a young lord of great hopes, coming to an audience, was unfortunately poisoned, although the king at that time had no design against his life. But this good prince was so gracious as to forgive the poor page his whipping, upon promise that he would do so no more, without special orders.

Seeing the magnitude of horror brought down by Statist Megalomania what insanity could not be excused if lives were preserved? Even the lives of floor lickers? I know I would.

To return from this digression. When I had crept within four yards of the throne, I raised myself gently upon my knees, and then striking my forehead seven times against the ground, I pronounced the following words, as they had been taught me the night before, Inckpling gloffthrobb squut serummblhiop mlashnalt zwin tnodbalkuffh slhiophad gurdlubh asht.

Christians do not lick floors. God has told us how to adore His Anointed Heir and we are joint-heirs with Christ.

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

God does not want us to die without Him. The consequences are immense. It doesn't matter how much you Inckpling gloffthrobb squut serummblhiop mlashnalt zwin tnodbalkuffh slhiophad gurdlubh asht, nothing replaces Christ. There is only one status in Paradise: ruling Together With Him.

Has anyone covered outright MURDER yet? So many nutters see it as a method to ensure respect but is that really respect? Demagogues need to address this point but compromised by rejecting Christ as the supreme authority and electing to kill off all opponents knocks justice well out the park.

MURDER is the next word for demagoguery to address.
