Hey BP,  
  
I hear you.  I hear vegat01, too.   I appreciate the fact that you are sharing information that is useful to me, even though we do not yet agree on the nature of the language being used.   
  
I am not trying to make light of your view or discredit your experience in any way; in fact, we can see that we can't see the same things.  I mean that.  Literally.  
But maybe we can teach each other to 'hear' it?  To listen for it.   
  
I am admitting that I do not see what you see.  And I am forced to 'see' some kind of ironic humor in that.  Tears of laughter...perhaps we share some commonality in that.   Like guiding us to use humor, to leave a place of grace, where anger might provoke hatred.  Something like that.  
  
However, the point I would like to make is about the nature of language.  In this case, why I cannot see what you see, is because we are discussing a metaphysical concept...not a physical concept.  This is a non-trivial distinction.  
  
It seems like we are asking each other to see our metaphysical beliefs...no?  
  
If anyone is asking to me to see their metaphysicals...that is beyond my ability.  No one can see that...they are like God.  Everywhere and fcking nowhere.  
  
Wouldn't it be nice to be omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent? The irony of this life is killing us. God is killing us.  Literally.  It is difficult for me to accept that others do not 'see' that.  But here we are.  
  
"They" are using "language" to keep people like you and me distracted from doing anything about the problem.  It is the language...the words.  God.  Literally.  
  
I was an English Professor for over 15 years and grammar/semantics is a bit of a hobby of mine...I enjoy it...like others enjoy chess or coding...or history.  
  
From the time I was young, I could see/hear the poison in our language.  And they use it against honest people.  All the time.  
  
I have tried to express this to others, but got condemnation for suggesting that the English language was not designed to impart truth.  And over time, it has become a tool for propaganda the likes of which no humans have ever had to deal with.  It is fucking brutal.  
  
The Gaslighting is non-stop.  24  7  
  
Here is a theory for you.   
Conspiracy Theory?  wtf does that even mean.  It's a slur against those who oppose authority.  AntiVaccer?  wtf does that even mean.  It's a slur against those who oppose medical tyranny.  
  
Our language is now working against us.  I am doing my best to make myself clear but likely failing on many levels.  Yet, if we have any chance of a collective future, maybe this is how we begin.  With language.    
  
Peace brother.
