Another example is the entire Political Correct movement.

Brought to the US by (can’t remember which one, exactly) a writer of the School of Marxism in Frankfurt during the early 1930s. The concept was that if people could be made to control what they allowed themselves to say, they’d also control what they allowed themselves to think. The more ridiculous the say-control, the more complete the ideological control of the mind.

The end phase of PC is that it can be used to sort out the ideologically compliant from those who still retain an ability to think independently.

We’re seeing a rather full blossom of that reality in many of our schools, from elementary up through college and university now.

We are seeing the blossoms of that reality everywhere and on this thread. The victims of the manipulation will argue that they don’t associate homosexuality with ‘gaiety’ or abortion with ‘choice’, while subconsciously they and millions of others do. That’s why, and only why, the choice of words by the propagandists have been ‘gay’ and not ‘fudgepacking’, and ‘choice’ and not ‘infanticide’, to cite just two examples of the manipulation of everyday language. “Affordable Care Act’. I know it’s not ‘affordable’ but I’m going to use the name because everybody else does, right? Pretty soon you’ll be thinking that Obamacare is affordable, just as you subconsciously think that pederasty is ‘gay’. The language speaks you!
