Don't waste your time trying to understand it. They will simply change it to something more insane, outrageous, incendiary, opposed to common sense, immoral, unethical, pandering and destructive. It's about constantly shifting the ground for fake outrage.

IMO the vocabulary is a carefully selected part of the woke propaganda. It helps them feel differentiated and important, kinda like leet speak (1337 5p34k). It also makes them feel smart, exclusive, and sciency. And it effectively steals some of the legitimacy of science, and in particular uses words and formulations often found in science and higher education, helping them feel elite and educated/enlightened.

Seriously anyone understands half the shit those people are saying?

It's their own version of Ebonics.

You can defeat their linguistics superiority complex by smacking your lips every time you mock them.

Never in my life I've seen so fucking many invented words that make no sense.

It's a technique to control a (portion) of the population and to ascertain how many people are "on board" with it.

Is it Kyiv or Kiev to you? Is Erdogan pronounced Erdo-wan or Erdogan? Is it Ukraine or The Ukraine? You can quickly see who is plugged into the Matrix and who isn't by just how they talk.

A Kraine, Krajina, Kray is Slavic for "March, Border, Frontier".

In English, you can't say "I go to Border/March/Frontier." You'd have to go to THE Border/March/Frontier.

It's been Kiev in English for centuries. Not Kyiv. It's like somebody suddenly insisting we're all wrong for saying "Munich" or "Vienna" and MUST say, unless we're evil Brainwashed Barbarians, "Munchen" and "Wein" instead.

In that case, I will tell every Spanish speaker it's "Hamburger" and "Hamburgeusa" is insensitive and wrong and evil. And every Argentine that Coney Island invented Pizza is not "Pee- etz - za" (find a Pizzeria in Europe before 1945, much less serving a round pie pizza, the year when American GIs brought it there from New York. Pizza in Italy was yesterdays stale loaf toasted with some cheese and basil, no sauce and not baked in an oven as a round pie, and then only around Naples - basically what the rest of Italy called Bruschetta The brick oven is pure retrofitting, The Magherita story is BS too. )

Don’t try to understand it. If you do, they’ll just keep making up more.

Just add a +P to everything they say and it will all go away.

Leftists say ‘hate’ when they mean ‘love of one’s own’, and when they say ‘love’ they mean at best the most debased of perversions, and at worst ‘hatred of one’s own’. They say ‘social justice’ to mean antisocial injustice: a process by which society is unravelled by apportioning reward and punishment without reference to individual behaviour. They call speech, violence, and violence, speech. They say ‘trust the science’, when they mean ‘believe without question, without argument, without evidence’. They call infanticide ‘choice’. ‘Democracy’ has come to mean ‘rule by the diktat of unaccountable bureaucrats’, while ‘authoritarianism’ is used for ‘the popular will of the majority of people’. Racism is held to be the highest sin, even as ‘race is a social construct’. The say ‘multiculturalism’, and mean a lowest-global-common-denominator monoculture mass-produced by corporate managerialism. They say ‘diversity’, and mean rigidly enforced ideological uniformity. They say ‘inclusion’, and mean exclusion of everyone whose inclusion is not specifically enumerated. They say ‘equity’, and mean theft. They say ‘liberalism’, and mean socialism or even communism. They say ‘fascism’, and mean classical liberalism. They say ‘Nazis’, and mean libertarians or even just basic conservatives. They say ‘extreme far right’, and mean ‘the majority of people, who believe what everyone believed until five minutes ago’. They say ‘progress’, and mean ‘decay’. They say ‘tolerance’ and mean ‘forced celebration’. They say ‘marginalized’ and mean ‘favoured’. They say ‘oppressed’ and mean ‘oppressor’, and vice versa.

The corruption of the left’s language is so total that it is difficult to think of any words in their lexicon which retain their dictionary definitions (unless they’ve used their institutional power to change the dictionary). This led Mark Bisone to characterize their idiom as the Black Speech of Mordor: a language infused with a dark sorcery that corrupts mind and soul merely by speaking it. Bisone warns against using the Black Speech ourselves, for to adopt the enemy’s dialect is to open our own souls to the same conceptual perversion. The left’s long-standing discursive hegemony makes this difficult to avoid, as when one reflexively says ‘liberals’ to refer to leftists. I’m as guilty of that as anyone.

In his seminal work on the political and cultural effects of psychopathy, Political Ponerology, the Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski discusses linguistic corruption as a central tactic that pathocrats – the nexus of psychopaths, sociopaths, clinical narcissists, and schizoidal personality types that has come together time again under the banner of leftism to terrorize society – use to conceal their intentions from psychologically normal humans. Apparently innocuous words take on a hidden meaning that is only understood by those in the inner circle. For example, communists will say that they act ‘for the proletariat’, which is understood by their hypnotized followers to mean on their behalf, but really means ‘for the vanguard party’. During the incubation of a pathocracy this has the effect of drawing the well-meaning but naive into the service of the would-be pathocrats. When the pathocracy matures, the linguistic corruption has the effect of rendering the regime opaque: its intentions cannot be understood on the basis of what it says, because the words it uses can have any number of meanings depending on context, and the regime’s intentions can therefore only be inferred by, as it were, reading the tea leaves, as through a glass darkly.

Orwell illustrated the consequences of linguistic confusion in 1984, for instance with the Ministry of Truth being responsible for propaganda, or the Minister of Love being responsible for torture. More insidiously, he described the deliberate contraction of mental space via Newspeak, which was used to make certain thoughts literally unthinkable because the words to think them no longer existed. Once again we see the theme of language being mutilated as a primary mechanism for obliterating consciousness. The Party’s primary goal wasn’t anything so cheap as simple greed, but the sadistic exercise of power for its own sake, via domination of the minds of its subjects, who were made to discard the evidence of their own senses, to ignore the basic rules of logic, and to annihilate their memories: ‘We have always been at war with Eurasia’, ‘2+2=5’, ‘Ignorance is Strength’, and so on.

In our own society emotional conditioning via the education system, the manufactured consensus of the news media, the hypnotic effect of popular culture, and relentless application of social pressure, has been used to attach an overpowering emotional valence to corrupted language, which makes it all but impossible for the weak of character to break free. Technological comforts insulate us from the hard edges of society, further weakening character, reducing pain tolerance and making people less capable of confronting painful things. Questioning falsehoods is simply too painful for them to bear: their entire identities are bound up in the struggle against racism, sexism, Islamophobia, climate change, homophobia, transphobia, and so on. To correct even a single error threatens the integrity of their entire personality. This doesn’t just make it impossible for them to think clearly. It also forces them into the position of continuously doing violence to their own thought: they see an autogynophile in a wig, substitute ‘woman’ for ‘man’ (because even the suffix ‘trans’ is exclusionary), and then they must forget that they have done this. They engage in this process repeatedly, day in and day out, on every subject of political importance, and they cannot allow themselves to realize that they are doing this because to notice their habitual twisting of thought would reveal that their thoughts are habitually twisted. Thought turned against itself cancels itself: it is thought that obliterates thought.

If sapience rests on a foundation of a language, it follows that corruption of language must reduce one’s capacity for sapience. Deprive a child of language entirely, for instance by isolating them in a room, and the parts of the brain that process language wither away, leaving them no more than a half-clever beast. Corrupt language sufficiently, and thought itself becomes impossible; with cognition reduced to so much emotional static, metacognition follows; the inner light of self-awareness gutters, dims, and goes out.

Oikophobia:

* Their glorious army of freedom fighters
* Our support of terrorists
* Their great art
* Our overblown 'heritage'

Bannock, funny, people have been eating it in Scotland for millennium. "Bannockburn" or "Breadstream", site of a famous battle long before the discovery of the New World. Until Europeans brought it with them, Indians did not have the basic ingredients for it - flour from grains originating in the Near East.

fat shaming

can an unashamed fat person be fat shamed?

Over the years, my weight has fluctuated. When I drink beer regularly, or eat bigger lunches than I should. I would pack on a gut.
When I stop drinking so much, or cut back on the large lunches, my weight would go back down. I don't get round and rolly polly but I would get a gut.
Not a truckers gut, but a few extra pounds for sure.
Those that would criticize or call me out for packing a little weight, most without fail. over the 30 years or so. Are all now obese(Rolly polly) or have chronic health issues. These are people who thought they were in more superior health than me.

But no I never gave a rats ass about what other's thought about my physique one way or the other.
But I do have great hair.

I think the only people that can be shamed are the ones that are already ashamed of themselves.

Please dont tell me that you blow dry it

Short answer to the OP - yes, and it changes daily, just like commie cell passwords.

Never my secret is bedhead. Fussing with it, only pulls hair out.

As I'm standing in line with my pot belly and unkept hair, feeling insecure. I can always count on some wig wearing lady telling me I have great hair.
