The woke types have a tactic where they will take a word that is a crucial concept to perpetuating their ideology and generate an alternate word that is semantically identical, then load that word with left wing presumptions and then weaponize it - while attempting to destroy the original concept. This leaves the average person with no choice other than to accept their new definition of the term and talk using only their language.
Examples:
Gender (as well as man/woman) - Functionally identical to sex psychologically, sex expresses itself behaviorally despite whatever "society allows you to express yourself as". Intended to push the idea that "male" and "female" are not scientifically meaningful concepts.
Racism - Suddenly defined as "power + privilege", despite being recognized as race-based prejudice for an extremely long time. The change in definition seems arbitrary but is meant to create a trap where only white people are capable of racism.
Whiteness - Removed from race, this is an attack on white culture. This is seen as more acceptable than what the actual intent is, which is an on attack white people very much with race in mind.
Folks - A left wing tribal dogwhistle. When pressed to explain why "folks" is being used instead of "people" by those who aren't southern, it will be claimed that the language is "more inclusive". Even at face value, that's absurd since the meaning of the words is identical. "Folks" is used specifically to refer to left wingers in general, specifically racial minorities and homosexuals. I've read long diatribes where the author only refers to the perceived aggressors as "people" while the "victims" were always "folks".
Ya'll - Another term used by middle class left wing twitter users, "Y'all" is a condescending term used to seem more in touch with the less educated and economically fortunate. Liberal elites think of the southerners who use this language as backward hicks and thinks that it gives them a charming hokey sound. Used in much the same way as "folks".
This isn't quite the same as "liberal doubletalk" since a lot of that is just being a hypocrite, this is an attempt to change the language in such a drastic way that in order to even discuss the topics you are forced to think about them in ways that have been chosen for you. Conservatives have a much more difficult time handling this as they are generally less creative and are more susceptible to guilt trips.
What recourse does the right wing have?
