I agree, the pen is mightier than the sword. Conservative voices have lost the power to wield it effectively. They've let academia dictate business models and lost control one step at a time.

I've noticed it more and more in recent years. People trying to control / manipulate people or even just try to control / manipulate myself by attacking my speech or how I talk.

I disagree, language in and of itself cannot be a weapon. You can choose to ignore anything someone says.

Sure, but this isn't just about your buddy Jim who has some silly thoughts. This is about how certain words are used to hide things or how words that in essence mean the same thing have different meanings to certain audiences. Think about how "diversity" excludes diversity of opinion or how racism is really just "heretic."

I guess I see your point but it’s dangerous to classify language as a weapon, if I had to agree I’d say there needs to be a different classification.

What the title really means is that language is a weapon of the globalist class. It just sounds more dramatic to say it's a weapon. A different way of putting it could be that language is weaponizable capable of being weaponized.
