Chud hogs torturing language until eventually they just have a glottal stop that means "bad thing"

The right wing has an insidious tendency to adopt whatever current term is in vogue, throw negative spin on it, and then regurgitate it back to their slavering mongrel hordes.

Let's say you write articles about CRT for a decade. Then the shits learn about it, distort it, propagandize it, and then point to your work and say "see! They have been talking about it for a decade!"

It's their go-to move. They are generally not clever enough to come up with their own slogans so they co-opt them and make them sound bad. "Woke" has a decades long history. It means aware. Like "be aware (woke) to the fact that this town isn't safe after sunset." It got popular on the internet and rather than make a counter argument they just howled about how bad it is using your terminology.

Think of it like fascist art. It's derivative. It's generally also bad. Then some dude like Picasso does something new like cubism and all the nazis could say was "yo this is bad." Meanwhile Hitler couldn't paint a 3 point perspective of some dumbass building to save his life. "This is great!"

Conservative thought generally does not lend itself to creativity. Their whole ubermensch thing they stole from misinterpreted works of Nietsche. Again, not creative, just distortion. Why do you think the current batch of theocrat fascists love the damn Bible so much? It's a big old book that they can point to and say "see, it's old and it means what we say it does! Legitimacy achieved!"

Its like overnight we shifted from PC to Woke

Not only is woke just one syllable - it's usually a drop-in replacement for the n-word(s) or similar hateful word. PC couldn't compete with that.

if people just said, "I like being rude to other people, why won't you let me be rude?", they'd get no traction. The longer they use a substitute phrase, the more apparent it becomes that it's really just frustration that they can't be impolite and consequence-free. So once a phrase is over-saturated, they gravitate to a new one.

Woke has lasted barely any time at all and it's already trite and tiresome. Not sure where it'll go next...

"political correctness" just doesn't have the same punch and just sounds like a cranky columnist whining in a newspaper from 20 years ago

Cancel culture is another term that has effectively replaced politically correct. Maybe it's because it makes it easier to add "get politics out of [insert w/e]". Politically correct implies that there is something political about whatever issue is being talked about. Meanwhile woke is just ambiguous and cancel culture points to some cultural issue.

Well that was a lot of nonsense. In the end everything can and is political it's just that most Americans are in denial of that fact.

when u tell me i cant say the n word its political correctness

when u call my boss and tell him i yelled it at ur kid at the playground it's cancel culture

both are literally 1984

woke

I might be wrong about this but the right/nazis try to rebrand themselves all the time to get apolitical/centrist people on board. This might bleed into their vocabulary and lead to them using and replacing words over time to have plausiblie deniability. Because obviously saying you want to kill trans people will make liberals uncomfortable but saying you just care about children is an easy selling point for gullible people. I dont have to hand it to them but there is some hivemind/adaptation thing going on with them which I have to say is not dumb from a strategic standpoint. Basically a selection process that makes the best/dumbest ideas stick.

Take MAGA for example. (just as an example for a good slogan) What do you mean you dont want to make America great ?(yes I know maga was used before but trump brought it back big time)

I guess it might have partially to do with the fact that their words become loaded after a while even in the mind of not very political savvy people but by replacing them they stay atop of the discourse and can say they are just complaining about the SJW,PC,WOKE etc. The right needs specific combat phrases and I think its a valid tactic (like their use of the word groomer) as detestable as it is its not dumb from a strategic standpoint for them.

This is not to say we should emulate them (I have no direct answer or strategic input here) just my 2 cents.

My ideas are a bit all over the place but I hope you get what im trying to say.

Alongside everything else, I think its too reversible to be as useful as "woke" or "critical race theory" are.

You can accuse evangelical puritanism of imposing political correctness by taking everything that isn't white cishet out of schools, but you can't call it woke or a result of CRT.

Obviously they don't care that much about accusations of hypocrisy, but insulating against it won't hurt.

Despite the stereotypes, I'd say a good number of Youtube atheists are our guys.
