It is much deeper than that but yes, language and thought shape the mind and the culture of its expression. Weaponised language is the dark arts of obfuscation, diversion and deceit. 'Plastic Words' speaks to this - as does Orwell and others - but while engaged IN the frame of the deceit no one has any free attention to look at it. In fact for many if you try to speak to the condition - will NOT understand you or want to - because they are set in an identity that run them.

The tyranny of words is invisible to the mind that thinks in their frame.

Yesterday I was re-reading a transcript of an interview with the author of 'Plastic Words' (a book that doesn't seem gettable!) - but you can read about it online.

Or go to his podcasts page if you prefer to listen.

Weaponisation of words such as 'anti vaxxer', 'denialist' and others operate a switch in the mind that say - 'dirty and disgusting and dangerous' do not engage with'.

Whatever else Corbyn brought to the table, it included as larger recognition of the centrally orchestrated smear campaign of the mainstreamed media. And the weaponisation of racism by its accusation against others.

Power is revealed by what you are not allowed to say and within our own mind - what we are not allowed to think.

OK I got off track there ;-)

But the use of words is the capacity of consciousness to frame questions and explore their unfolding experience. Viz: the denial of consciousness is being entrained to minds that do not know that they do not know - because they run on words of evasion and deceit. We are in a sense erasing our humanity to a status as managed assets, utilities or carbon guilt units.

However - it doesn't necessarily 'win' anyone over if you can present an articulate and cogent argument - if you are denied a voice or a hearing by scapegoating, smear and denial - as is so commonly applied to 'non compliance'. But it can hold a place of true witness and sometimes hold back the lie - as in Tim Noakes case for example - because so many gathered in support to give expert testimony I suspect.

Narrative control is key to power over the otherwise unwilling.
