“Inconceivable”

“You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.”

The Princess Bride

Just like the exchange between Vizzini and Inigo in the Princess Bride, there are many words in use today where the speaker does not know the meaning of the words.  Lay it at the feet of multiple issues from the lack of proper education in our schools to the misuses of social media.

Most misused words:

  • Far Right & Left
  • Fascism
  • Socialism
  • Capitalism
  • Democracy
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
  • Wokeness
  • Christian Nationalism
  • Freedom
  • Liberalism
  • Woman & Man (surprised?)
  • Racist

In this series, we will:

  • Review actual definitions versus current misuse
  • Examine the far right and left spectrum and propose something different
  • Compare and contrast anarchy and totalitarianism
  • How has social and main stream media perpetuated these errors?
  • Do the platforms and actions of both major political parties line up with any of these definitions?
  • Analyze how the political spectrum has shifted over time in relationship to political parties
