This preoccupation with replacing unpleasant words with softer or more ambiguous words in order to promote tolerance and acceptance is a sign that we are a decadent society with the wrong priorities. You know what they called mental asylums in the olden days? People would call them things like "Home for the Feeble Minded". And they'd call people with Downs Syndrome "retards". You know why? Because "retard" comes from the Latin word for slow. And retards are intellectually slow. Makes sense, don't it? They wouldn't call homosexuals "gays" or "heroes" or whichever way they want to be addressed in 2026 because they were "sodomites". The act that made the homosexual distinct from the ordinary man who is attracted to women is sodomy. So it follows that you would call them "sodomites". The disinterest in politically correct speech in times past teaches us two things: one, that hard times force people to be practical. And practical people don't have the time to sugar coat things. Second, it tells us that people of the past were more rational than we are today because they understood that fixing the word does not fix the thing. Irrationalism is rife among our university educated middleclass because we sent these people to university to gain wisdom but instead the professors gave the students Foucault - the French philosopher of post-modern queer theory. And because they studied Foucault, the students came to believe that reality can bend to their will just by speaking in gibberish Foucaultese.

>>536930212do you have as much heat for the right playing with words as well when they use the word "ally" to define a country that regularly abuses our trust and good will and ropes us into unjustifiable wars
>>536930863Right.Israel doesn't even have a mutual defense treaty with the US.Literally not an ally.
>>536930212I've never seen Foucault used by a queer theoristFoucault language is about power structure, discipline, human sciencesThe theorists don't speak Foucault at all he's too masculine for them, he just happens to be gay He's also basically the only genuine Nietzschean, Crowley was weird, Althusser was a communist And then you have Judith Butler etc. who are actually responsible for theory
>>536930212miggers on this board ALL THE TIME use and create "ambiguous words" to codify their lack of tolerance or acceptance
>>536930212>The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought — that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc — should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods.
>>536932111I don't need to tolerate or accept you.
>>536932111What was fictional about it? It was from a peer reviewed paper in Nature magazine.
>>536930212You can change reality by changing what words mean and the french fell down that rabbit hole and occasionally you can hear pickaxes coming from the hole. Faggots and their enablers then use this as a prybar to decriminalize homosexuality by attacking the foundation of human civilization. I'm not sure if the actual effect is just turning everything into brown goo though
>>536930212Words really are reality, they're not merely representational. The color blue did not exist in the ancient world until there a word was invented for it.
>>536935549>The color blue did not exist in the ancient world until there a word was invented for it.Nonsense. There are many ways to express blue without a word for it. Pointing at something else blue for example. 1984 was written about 1948 England. Words are used to control the masses.
>>536931965The way Foucault buggered those Tunisian children was quite Dionysian.
>>536930212It is a Jewish tendency for conjuration magic, thinking you can change things by changing names. You see it all the time in traditional Jewish magic and esoteric doctrine. It's also present in their folklore, the best known is the infamous golem, a monster of clay that is animated by some rabbi carving the word "life" on its forehead, and after its rebellion against the Jews the golem is killed by changing one of those letters to mean death. There are idiots ITT promoting those Jewish views. They are Jewish and/or best goyim. Besides >>536931965 is correct and Foucault was based, some idiots in mutt academia just became obsessed with their retarded retelling of Foucault (he's the most cited man in academia ever, largely because of Americans making easy references they don't understand). He's wrong thoughbeit because Bataille is the other genuine Nietzschean.
>>536930212the simple answer is the left does it because it's simple and anyone can do it - you don't have to be in chargerightoids do the same thing
>>536930212>This preoccupation with replacing unpleasant words with softer or more ambiguous words in order to promote tolerance and acceptance is a sign that we are a decadent society with the wrong priorities.It's a lot to do with females and weaker minded creatures trying to soften emotional blows and not be the butt of jokes in emotionally heated conversations they tend to start or initiate.
>>536936885But what is the obsession with etiquette? I mean, that's all it is - manners. Completely trivial in moral and political terms.

>>536937195Remeber to save all your original Dahl books>Dahl's comments and writing have received criticism. In the August 1983 issue of the Literary Review, a review by Dahl of Tony Clifton's God Cried appears, in which he writes that the United States is "so utterly dominated by the great Jewish financial institutions" and asks, "must Israel, like Germany, be brought to her knees before she learns how to behave in this world?"[4] In a 1990 interview with The Independent, Dahl said that he had become antisemitic, "in as much as that you get a Jewish person in another country like England strongly supporting Zionism".[5]
>>536930212>whybecause leftism is a mental disorderimagine claiming men get pregnant and girls have dicks???
>>536930212>modifying wordsGenuine and useful thread on pol. An exceptionally rare item. Get a bump.
Unalive yourself. Just kidding, great thread OP. Internet censorship has been one of my all time obsessions. One reason is the sheer baffling I have that another person would so gleefully ban and remove a comment, like through moderation. Most Moderators have no financial interests in the topic discussed, yet like zealots or as if it depended on their livelihood moderators online in ALL spaces but here will remove your comment for no-no thoughts. America is living under a cursed manufactured consensus, and I have no idea how to break people out of it because the benefactors are also this untouchable God class called minority or Jew or Woman. sinister trap we are in
>>536937065Ego. A lot of people here think good manners=just being submissive towards them. They wont be that for you. Always putting themselves first, but it's rude and disrespectful for you not put them first in your priorities too.
>>536930212along similar lines I'm absolutely disgusted when I see things like>r*ped>g*n>k*lledin articles and anyone's comments. I get it's allegedly for some algorithm thing but frankly makes no sense since there are millions of unfiltered results using any of the words people self censor. I can't help but ask myself what sort of people even comply with that type of faggotry.
>>536937403People power trip, for sure, having no power in their own lives. They indulge when they get power over others.
>>536930212Jews
>>536937620Right? It's becoming ridiculous and silly and we're destroying our language to appeal to the censorship bots that were created to protect advertisements from lawsuits.
>>536930212You realize ‘Home for the Feeble Minded’ was the euphemism, right? Before that, ‘idiot,’ ‘imbecile,’ and ‘moron’ were actual medical terms. Every generation softens the old words—then those become insults, and the cycle repeats. That’s not decadence, it’s just how language works.Calling people ‘sodomites’ wasn’t ‘rational’—it reduced a whole human to one sex act they were condemned for. Switching to ‘gay’ wasn’t sugar-coating; it was recognizing identity instead of branding people as criminals.And Foucault didn’t say reality bends to words. He said power works through classification—which is exactly what you’re doing when you call old labels ‘more rational.’If changing words doesn’t fix anything, why does it bother you? Either it’s trivial (so why complain?) or it matters (and then past people did it too, just with different terms). Hard times produce slurs, not just honesty.

>>536930773Based confused poster.
>>536931965>I've never seen Foucault used by a queer theoristWhen he was told about AIDS he dismissed it as imperialist propaganda because it only seemed to affect gays and niggers.guess what he died of.
>>536937829That quote just proves my point. ‘You are a sodomite’ wasn’t a neutral observation—it was a condemnation. They weren’t trying to be ‘practical’ or ‘rational’; they were trying to shame and criminalize. And when they added ‘Feel proud?’ it was sarcastic, designed to mock the very idea that someone could accept themselves.So yeah, people stopped using ‘sodomite’ because it was never just a label—it was a weapon. Replacing it with ‘gay’ or ‘homosexual’ wasn’t about being soft. It was about refusing to let bigots define someone’s entire existence by an act they considered sinful. If you think calling someone a ‘sodomite’ was more honest, ask yourself: would you want to be reduced to the one thing your enemies hate most about you?
>>536937701>it reduced a whole human to one sex actThat is literally what every sodomite faggot does every single fucking day of their lives. Gay culture is literally nothing more than sexual perversion on display for the sake of demoralization. You are all sick mentally ill people that reproduce by continuing the cycle of sexual assault that happened to you as a child on the next generation of children and need to be institutionalized, sterilized and/or euthanized.
>>536930212Leftists believe in magic.They believe that words change physical reality.They believe in spells.
>>536938225What is the difference between a homosexual man and a straight man other than the former commits sodomy?
>>536938247yeah? and what are you gonna do about it Timmy? Nothing.
>>536930212>And because they studied Foucault, the students came to believe that reality can bend to their will just by speaking in gibberish Foucaultese.And they're correct, which is why they must be opposed.
>>536937852Foucault lived a wretched life.

>>536935954Plenty of experiments have been done on primitive people whose languages don't have a word for blue. They literally can't see blue. You can show them a set of colored disks, 9 green and one blue, and I don't mean bluish green, just straight blue, and they can't pick out the one that is different, while any modern child can do this instantly.
>>536930212With Socrates Greek taste veers round in favour of dialectics: what actually occurs? In the first place a noble taste is vanquished: with dialectics the mob comes to the top. Before Socrates’ time, dialectical manners were avoided in good society: they were regarded as bad manners, they were compromising. Young men were cautioned against them. All such proffering of one’s reasons was looked upon with suspicion. Honest things like honest men do not carry their reasons on their sleeve in such fashion. It is not good form to make a show of everything. That which needs to be proved cannot be worth much. Wherever authority still belongs to good usage, wherever men do not prove but command, the dialectician is regarded as a sort of clown. People laugh at him, they do not take him seriously. Socrates was a clown who succeeded in making men take him seriously: what then was the matter?

>>536930212Because they do not want to "solve" problems, they want problems to be swept under the rug. By changing definitions they can claim to "solve" something while only furthering the reach of evil.
>>536935549This is absurd creation science bullshit, which is really funny coming from the left given how they like to portray themselves as intelligent and educated.
>>536939677The Sumerians thought Lapus Lazuli was the most precious rock because of it's blue color. Are you saying this is only because they have a word for blue? Before language the world was black and white? How boring. Kinda like that movie Pleasantville.
>>536941090is there a marxism one
Because the leftoid worldview is so contrary to reality they have to literally change the meaning of words to try and come up with a reason why they are correct.
>>536930212Leftists definitionally don't care about truth since large scale "stateless, classless societies" are incredibly obviously impossible. Leftist theory therefore revolves around two primary objectives: obtaining power for leftists and their allies while pretending to be advancing leftist goals; and signaling intelligence and erudition via wordcelling. The broader constellation of leftist-adjacent ideology like the race and gender stuff follows a similar pattern, though the unreality there is the equality of the sexes/races, rather than the possibility of the political utopia.
>>536930212Language is power. If you can't even begin to formulate a thought without the leftist jews' fucked up verbiage and manipulations, then you've already lost the debate against them before you even opened your stupid goyish mouth.The liberal world order strongly depends on this. IMO nobody has ever done as much damage to this as the retarded zoomers who made it a sport to abuse and make language as annoying as possible for the sake of memes. The chaos exposes the hypocritical nature of language and the maliciously inserted manipulations in it keep sticking out of it like thorns.
>>536946651One of the most important things about it is Bakunin. Everyone heard about Marx, but nobody about Bakunin. Did you know, that Marx and Bakunin were the forefathers of the First International, and the Bakunin being expelled from it caused its demise?
