(If you already know all about how the leftists use their control of the media to control our language and use that against us, then, you might want to jump to “Conclusion: Why This is Important!”)
By now, most of the rightists on Substack, Rumble, and various of the other rightwing media outlets have complained that it's not us that's “weird”, it's the left that's weird.
And they show pictures of transgender blue haired loons to prove it. But it doesn't seem to matter. With the time comes, the left will once again be able to label us whatever they want to. And make it stick. But we can rarely do that to them.
Why?
You want to know what's really “weird”, my friends? What's really weird is that the right never sees this coming. As we point out in “Why Did Kamala’s Popularity Offensive Surprise Us? Is it real? Will she beat Trump? Can she really meme?”
Time and again we get run over by the mass media. Steamrolled. And as we look around wondering ‘What happened?’, the mass media steamroller continues to chug down the road, paving America with Cultural Marxism.
What happened, of course, is that we got crushed by the leftist mass media again! Breitbart famously said that politics is downstream of culture. And it’s hard to argue with that, given the success of the left. But what we can never seem to figure out is that, like it or not, the mass media is upstream of culture. And the leftists control the mass media.
We the right seem to believe that the mass media doesn't matter. The legacy media is inconsequential because anyone can see that what it says is fake and stupid. But if you think about all that the leftists have accomplished in the last 50 years, including taking over the U.S. government and even the RINO wing of the Republican Party, and the mainstream religions, then you will see that they could have done almost none of it if they had not had control of the mass media.
How did the left turn the word “progressive” into a label and falsely apply it to themselves? (Woodrow Wilson did that, with the help of the mass media, when it was first turning left.)
How did the leftists turn the word “liberal” into a political label, and then flip its meaning to its opposite? (FDR did that in 1946, with the help of the mass media, a story we tell elsewhere.)
How and why were the leftists able, in 1980, to reverse the red = left and blue = right colors in effect since Marx?
Conclusion: Why This is Important!
The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.
Philip K. Dick, I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon (1987)
Leftist were able to do all these things and many, many more because they controlled the media. And without that control, they could not have done them. Control of the mass media gives the left much control over the English language. And therefore the ability to confuse the news and muddy the waters of public discussion. And tell lies and hide truth. If the leftists keep beating us time after time, using cultural Marxism to take over all of our institutions, we will lose everything. We have to stop them, and there is a way.
Now what do we do ?
