According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there are some 171,476 words currently in use in the English language Apparently, that just isn't enough for progressives to sufficiently disparage conservatives and conservatism so they have to turn to language engineers. What is a language engineer you may ask? A language engineer is a liberal who creates new words or terms which they get to define and then use against conservatives, individual liberty, market economics and traditional American values in order to push their socialist agenda. Language engineering is a branch of social engineering. It often borrows and combines real terms from law, science, technology and other disciplines in order to lend credibility to their made up terms. Some examples of terms created by language engineering are social justice, environmental justice, anthropomorphic climate change, white privilege, micro-aggression and most recently alt-right. Technically, progressives didn't coin the term alt-right but they quickly co-opted it and have started using it to unfairly associate those with whom they disagree with racism, anti-Semitism, and white nationalism.
Language engineering is dangerous because, like political correctness, it deflects from the real issues and inhibits free speech. It is incumbent upon all thinking Americans to reject engineered terms and not further perpetuate them by using them. By doing so, we can force progressives to argue their ideas based on the merits; something they hate to do because they lose.
