The language of the left is a truly transformative grammar, so I suppose Noam Chomsky would heartily approve. There are words which, when uttered by a leftie, lose all sense of themselves — such as ‘diverse’ and ‘vibrant’ and ‘racist’. It is not simply that these words can mean different things to different people — it is that when the left uses them they are at best a euphemism and at worst a downright lie. And from that you have to draw the conclusion that their whole political edifice is built upon a perpetually shifting succession of imaginative falsehoods. Such as when they tell you you’re a ‘denier’ of something — child sexual abuse or climate change, for example. They are attempting to lump you in with maniacs who think that the Holocaust didn’t take place. Denier! It has the whiff of Salem about it, that particular accusation, and flung about simply because some people doubt the efficacy of wind farms or think we might be overdoing the old Operation Yewtree stuff.
Or there’s ‘you’re on the wrong side of history’, as if history was a living and deeply moral entity, a bit like God, except more understanding about transgenderism, and He definitely hates you for your views. And so you come to spot the leftie by these chimeric and virtually meaningless terms and, as they are speaking, you begin to tune out, turn off the radio or TV or leave the room as they witter on and on, having excreted one of these noisome linguistic turds somewhere in their rambling analysis of why Brexit, Farage, Trump and Theresa May are evil — an immediate indicator of their idiocy or dishonesty, or both.
There are a couple of new ones I’ve heard during the discussions about our National Health Service, and in particular Accident and Emergency departments.
