We need more threads like this. I gave jariel a rep point for starting it.
As I like to say, we think in words. So he who controls words ultimately will control thought. And if you control the way people think, you control a large portion of reality itself, because our mindset greatly influences what we perceive as reality.
This is why lefties and Marxists win culture wars. They know this.
So time and again we see words or phrases pop up like "fuckboy," "bro," "rape culture," "male/ white privilege," and "street harassment" that define a "reality" that only exists in the minds of these people.
However, once these words and phrases get unleashed on the public, that becomes reality to us all. For example, those hard-working computer guys who used to get props for working long hours and keeping the company alive just got socially and intellectually reduced to mere "bros" because of a word. See how that works?
We need to call the left out on this.
Not only that, we need to invent our own words and phrases more often. "Cuckservative" is the biggest one that's come from the manosphere/alternative right, but it's not directed at the left. People need to do more of this.
