There has been a trend among the radical left in the past few years to use Newspeak language to spread their own cognitive dissonance (doublethink) to the rest of society. One particularly egregious tactic is to take a word with an existing, powerful, meaning and overlay a weaker definition over it. That way, they can use outrageously inflammatory rhetoric, and when called on it, fall back upon their own virtually private definitions to say, "see, I wasn't lying." First, the word "racism". Now, everybody has always known what racism means. But the crazy left conveniently redefines it to mean that only white people can be racist. This of course opens the door for non-whites to be racist as hell, while denying that racism on their part is even possible. And it allows them to call whites racist just for living in a society that they created. This convoluted thinking has recently gotten even more ridiculous, as MTVs "Decoded" tries to force another word- "colorism"- into the public lexicon. They were forced to invent this word to describe non-whites being racially prejudiced, when of course the rest of the world already had a word for that: racism. Second, "white supremacy". Everyone has always used this phrase to describe people like the KKK. But now, according to the far left, white supremacy just basically means Western society. But to put that doublethink in there, they use the inflammatory word that they know everyone will associate with the KKK whenever describing society, the government, etc. Third, "rape culture". Now, anyone who hears this will no doubt think that they mean a culture where rape is considered acceptable. But no, once again, it's just a way to use one of the strongest words in the English language to generate shock against something that isn't real. It allows unhinged feminists to communicate an entirely different message to the uninitiated than the message received by fellow cultists. In summary, this pattern of putting two different definitions on emotionally powerful words is intended to instill doublethink in both the speaker and the listener.
