Control Words, Control Thought? How Words Are Weaponized In Today's Politics.

from American Viewpoints · host Thomas Buckley, Mike Ferguson

Thomas Buckley discusses his recent op-ed published by the Brownstone Institute about the way language is being used in today's political debates. He specifically looks at the use of "-denial" as a perjorative ("climate denier/denial", "science denier/denial", etc). Buckley examines the strategy of that approach, arguing that it's designed to end debate instead of convincing someone to chage their mind. https://brownstone.org/articles/denialism-a-woke-way-to-stifle-dissent/
