Fighting back against leftist language lies in 2026
This year will be a barrage of BS from the Left; these are the top 5 ways of beating them at their own game.
This year will feature a barrage of bee ess from the left because every year is like this.
Here are what they are, and my top five ways of beating them at their own game.
- Self-labeling with positive-sounding words:
This is the left's perennial favorite in lying with language – always labelling themselves with positive-sounding words that automatically convey a false impression of compassion and probity, putting them two steps ahead whenever anyone uses them.
False impressions are created by the labels progressive, liberal, democratic, and even socialist. After all, who can be against progress, liberty, democracy, or being social?
That is also why we need to stop playing along.
Fighting back is easy in this case – just refer to them as the far left. This negates those positive vibes and frames them properly as the extremists in our society.
2. The 'democratic' in democratic socialism.
We've already touched on this one, but it deserves extra treatment for this year, and with the rise of the red/green alliance and New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
Before the Bolsheviks began rounding people up in the middle of the night, they played a similar game to the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party, calling themselves the real democrats. The "democratic" part easily goes out the window when the system breaks down, or in more modern times, when votes can be bought with other people's money.
Fighting back means refusing to play their little label games. Drop the false "democratic" label or refer to it as socialistic slavery.
3. Capitalism, the pejorative for economic freedom, or the free enterprise system.
Of course, while the lefties love their positive self-labelling, they equally enjoy applying pejoratives to cast freedom in the worst possible light. This is just taking a page from their playbook.
Back in the day, most people rightfully saw that the collectivist ideologies of the left were very similar to the point that they just referred to them as the 'isms' -- collectivism, communism, socialism, fabianism, fascism, Leninism, Maoism.
Fighting back in this case means using our own positive-sounding labels while avoiding the 'ism' grouping with that rogue's gallery of leftist ideologies.
4. Seeing 'red' and other color labels.
It used to be that red was the color of the left. Being a Red was synonymous with being a commie, and then the colors were inexplicably switched for the year 2000 election. Many of these pages have noticed how this has flipped the discussion on its head. This is something that needs to be addressed, because, as usual, we of the pro-freedom right have accepted this inversion of reality for far too long:
Now we let them color us red. Republicans: Maybe you can’t stop the media’s distortion of reality, but you don’t have to indulge Democrat color dysphoria! Stop allowing yourself to be painted red -- call yourself anything else. It doesn’t even have to be a color. If you have put out your own color-coded maps, do them right. Better yet, if the Democrats won’t proudly take back the red, they should take it back anyway, whether they like it or not.
We fight back in this case with alternate labels, or we refuse to use the color of communism.
5. Global cooling; global warming; climate change and climate crisis.
When the 'threat' of global cooling didn't pan out during the 1970s, leftists switched to the 'threat' of global warming. Except that the climate didn't cooperate, so their genius move was to go with the ever-changing weather and call any change in the climate a climate-change 'threat' and a crisis so they're covered no matter what happens. Then they throw in extra dire-sounding weather terms to push the fear porn.
Weather cold in January? It's the 'polar vortex' and climate change, or, what we used to call 'winter'. Weather warm in July? Wow, it's climate change again, in the summer.
Fighting back: Openly mock them by referring to the original crisis: Global cooling, especially in the summer.
