I’ve been wanting to voice this opinion for quite a long time. Specifically, how the anti-Trump Language Police are gaslighting the American people.
I can’t help but notice how hard the other side are trying their damndest to ensure that certain words are automatically heard by We The People only as they define those particular words. Never mind that all of the words I’ll cite are open to a number of various definitions.
First off is the word “Nationalism.” Yeah, I realize that the only probable reason why Leftists hate the word Nationalism is because of a certain National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), otherwise known as the Nazis.
Obviously, the first word is “National.” The second word is totally glossed over, but that’s par for the course for the Left.
Speaking of the word “National,” isn’t that the first word when it comes to National Steel, National Gypsum, and National University? If having that particular word in the title of your organization makes them Nazis, they must all be flat-out hotbeds of fascism.
Sorry, Lefties… Nationalism is simply just loving your nation. Obviously, the Left is somehow confused how the word “Nation” is supposed to be used.
Don’t allow the Left to steal this word or even make you feel as if you’re an evil person if you identify yourself as a Nationalist. To me, one is either a Nationalist or a Globalist. Not a lot of gray area here.
Now we come to “Populism.” From the Latin Populus (people), that’s exactly what it means. In the modern use of populism normally refers to one who defends the common people, especially if there is a corrupt ruling class factored into the equation.
Golly, I can’t figure why the Leftie elite are wanting so hard to co-opt “Populism” (sarcasm, off).
Now, on to “Capitalism.” At its very basic, capitalism just means making a profit.
Being the Traditional Catholic that I am, I know well The Four Sins that Cry to Heaven for Vengeance;
- Murder (Gn 4:10)
- Sodomy (Gn 18:20-21)
- Oppression of the poor (Ex 2:23)
- Defrauding workers of their just wages (Jas 5:4)
Obviously, nos. 3 and 4 make clear that morality-free capitalism is a no-go. Shafting the worker isn’t just a sin, but a sin that cries to Heaven for vengeance.
To paraphrase Pat Buchanan, “There’s nothing wrong with capitalism… as long as it’s tempered with Christian morality.”
Even though I could make quite a list, I’ll end this with the all-time favorite of the Left; referring to anyone who even slightly disagrees with them as either a Fascist or a Nazi.
In reality, Fascism and Naziism are the exact same thing, the latter is simply adorned with a toothbrush mustache.
First of all, Fascism/Naziism aren’t the polar opposites of Communism, they’re more like feuding brothers.
If you really want to understand what Fascism/Naziism truly are, they are the joining of a totalitarian central government and massive corporations.
- Messerschmidt made tons of money in Nazi Germany.
- Fiat made tons of money in Fascist Italy.
- Kawasaki made tons of money in Tōhōkai Japan.
Gee, does any of that look familiar?
