In a previous post I conveyed what the the left's agenda represents tangibly. In this one I will endeavor to convey one significant method by which it is being (and has been) accomplished. This post, like those which preceded, is not meant to be a comprehensive exposition. It's meant merely to convey the fundamental motivations of their agenda and how they advance it.
Some of it, particularly the initial portions, will naturally seem quite abecedarian. But I encourage the reader to press on with an open mind and, though it may seem hyperbolic, belief that your future as a free human being is contingent upon understanding what you're about to read.
• How Language Works
Words themselves mean nothing. That's why foreign languages are unintelligible to you. There is no inherent meaning in the sounds and symbols we apply to things, but rather meaning is derived from the mental imagery you associate with them.
Example: This morning I went jogging in a red sweatsuit, and there was lots of dew on the ground.
While reading that it's possible that a person running in bright red clothing, starkly contrasting against the rest of the environment, sweat dripping from his brow, droplets of water clinging to blades of grass gleaming in the morning sun, flashed through your mind. It almost certainly did after reading the words directly preceding this sentence.

This illustration is merely meant to convey that the meaning of a word is derived from the mental imagery one associates with that word. Early languages largely consisted of pictures; the word was an image of the thing it represented. Whereas today through memorization, we mentally associate an image with a word to derive meaning, which allows for far more efficient communication. (And as we shall see, ironically, more efficient manipulation.)
