It's a growing technique and a strategy for right wing blogosphere, which is where so many of the wingnuts on this board get all of their information from.
Used incorrectly every single day are the terms:
Socialism
Anarchist
Social Justice
along with many handful more.
These words are used by the RWCJ to mean vastly different things than their actual definitions.
Words have meanings. They don't mean what you simply want them to mean. They don't mean what you hope they mean. They don't mean what you really, really want them to mean.
Your devolution of these words is a path down the road to stupidity, ignorance, and Khmer Rouge-style totalitarianism.
So now, we have the right not only embracing nazis and fascism, but also communistic propaganda tactics and tendencies as well.
And there's a kind of gleeful stupidity around this tactic. The smarter ones probably know what they're doing, but they go along with it anyways, because it gets a reaction, and it's "anti-PC". The reality is, that it's actually far closer to PC than they realize, since "anti-PC" means speaking YOUR mind, not the opinions someone else has handed to you.
Right wing media has done a great job of confusing these folks and conflating basic terms. Right wing media has convinced its audience that nazis are "left wing fascists", and that anyone who they disagree with is a "socialist".
The people running these media outlets know exactly what they're doing, and the path down this road to total ignorance leads to a totalitarian state, with no individual rights or liberty.
Many on the right seems ok with that, especially in the wake of a "social justice warrior" being murdered by a nazi in Charlotte this weekend. The direction our country goes from here is really up to them. So each on the right wing has an individual choice. Do you follow the hatred that your preferred news sources are teaching you, or do you stand as true individuals?
