What good do the words do? So what if we have words - like Anglophobia and factophobia. Or does it matter?
Of course words don’t matter if we don’t use them. As for the power of naming, we all know how naming is used against us: racist, extremist, conspiracy theorist. Yes, words have massive power.
And today, t3 pm EST, he launch of a book that names a powerful force, Anglophobia. Here is the link: https://zeescafecafe.com/anglophobia.html
Now, back to: words matter, naming matters.
It’s sexual harassment, not a compliment. It’s date rape, not “she was asking for it.”
It’s the facts, not conspiracy theory. It’s not woke, it’s zombie-nation.
If I remember right, in the story of Adam and Eve, one of the things he did was NAME.
Of course naming isn’t enough. We need to use the words.
“They” (named the elite by some, named the predator class - my preference - by others) definitely use the words they like using, and definitely know the power of naming. If you haven’t heard the word Islamophobia, you’ve most likely been hiding in an underground cavern with no media access for the past 30 years. Of course “they” have the mainstream media (named the enemedia by Pamela Geller, named the media party by Ezra Levant) do the heavy lifting for them.
About using words that name accurately. One thing many of us are very good at is talking, passing on information. So we just need to use more of the words that name things as we see them.
Critical race theory rears its ugly anti-factual anti-truth anti-Anglo-white-West head. Presto! Outcries of: Horrors!! Anglophobia!!!! Factophobia!!!!!!! Truthophobia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For much more on a word that matters, a book that matters, Anglophobia, come to the launch, LIVE!! Sunday the 16th, 3 pm Eastern (8 pm UK time, noon Pacific). Come meet the author, Harry Richardson. What got him and a very different friend, Frank Salter PhD, to dig into this topic? What to expect from the book? At the end, a Q&A, plus discussion.
Here is the link for the launch: https://zeescafecafe.com/anglophobia.html At 2:30 pm, you can refresh the page, there will be a link to take you to the launch.
As the saying goes, be there or be square!

Of course words have power, power for good for evil, for abuse for praise, to hurt and to heal etc. It's when the words true meanings are distorted, twisted, hijacked to mean blatant falsehoods, is when the problems occur.
