Why do you feel the need to seek out reasons to be paranoid and hateful?

>>19473026
If you read enough literature you develop a sense for authentic versus inauthentic speech. Clearly if you need someone else to tell you, you haven't read enough.

terrible thread

I just want to be able to receive both the implicit and explicit messages that people are communicating. Same reason as the left is obsessed with "right wing dog whistles" — you're at a disadvantage if you don't understand the ideological underpinnings of the language that people you encounter use.

>>19473080

That's just obvious in-your-face ingroup slang and not really newspeak.

waht ideological underpinnings of changing from crazy to wild?

>>19473026
Birthing person is one that I see everywhere lately.

>>19473150

Yeah you already listed it

>>19473057

Those are actually pretty good, especially "unpack". I guess it's not exactly replacing anything, but it's certainly signalling something.

>>19473162
This is similiar to not saying men or women, but people with penis or vagina

>>19473154

It's because "crazy" is offensive towards the mentally ill. It's inane, I know, but I don't think anyone really cares too much about the "why".

I never knew that "wild" was considered newspeak. As I get older, I've noticed that my speech patterns resemble my father's more and more, saying "wild" instead of "crazy" being one of them.

>>19473178

My wife alerted me to it, because some woman in a podcast she listens to corrected another woman who said "crazy". Since then I've noticed it a lot in all sorts of popular culture. I'm pretty sure that everyone just said "crazy" five years ago, but now the word is almost gone.

Part of it is just slang and not ideological, "wild", "vibe", "mood", etc. is just how zoomers speak.

That kind of nonsense has always existed, like trying to replace brain storm with thought shower because of epilepsy or something. Pearl-clutching crosses ideological boundaries and it doesn't stick, or the replacement term becomes an insult itself. Teens are the meanest cunts on Earth, they don't care about that sort of thing.

Any word that is a "correction" of another word is newspeak.

Attempts to re-badge something to avoid an organically-earned negative connotation should always be resisted. People who are stridently vocal about "not giving offence" to fashionable victim groups aren't courteous. They're the rudest and most unpleasant people in the world. Just voice a socially disprivileged opinion in their presence and you'll see how much they care about courtesy.

Examples: "plus size" (for fat), "gay" (for homosexual), "minor-attracted person" (for pedophile), "African-American" (for "black" or "negro"), etc.

Some common contemporary terms/phrases which usually need a qualifier (like "so-called):

CLIMATE-CHANGE DENIER — the "denier" strongly suggests irrational rejection of an established truth. "Sceptic" is a better word.

HOMOPHOBIA — suggests that dislike of homosexuality is a phobia, i.e. irrational and exaggerated.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION — obviously, this could equally well be called NEGATIVE ACTION. It's favouring one group *at the expense of another*.

EDUCATION — at least 50% of the time, when someone says "education", he means "schooling". I prefer the term "schooling" because it suggests battery-farm-style indoctrination, as it should.

ELITE — very similar to the previous. If you want to talk about the ruling class, call them that. 'Elite' means the best. The people in charge are not, as a rule, the best.

Conspiracy theory. Or just the word conspiracy by itself.

>>19476924
Good one

It's 'per se' you illiterate latinlet.

>>19473026
Perhaps the most obvious and most alarming one I've seen recently has to be "MAP"(Minor-attracted person)

best practices

“Problematic” has to be my least favorite.

'Folk' instead of 'People'
'Y'all' instead of 'You'
'Equity' instead of 'Equality'
'Latinx' instead of 'Latino'

I'd say that's more corporate than political newspeak. It basically means "I don't want to make a judgment call and risk the consequences of being wrong myself, so I'm going to turn my brain off and do what someone else said, so you can't be mad at me you have to be mad at whoever I was copying instead." It's devastatingly effective.

Both of those words are accurate.
