If it is true that "the nation lives in its language", then the simplest means of nation-killing is to change the language.
The method is already successfully used in the so-called developed Western societies. The bottom line: take a word that can be painfully and bitterly twisted to say that it is "racist, discriminatory, fascist (the classification is freely chosen) and slander it until you manage to get the majority to accept that it really is.
The simple recipe for word murder is unknown here either. Its beginnings are shrouded in obscurity, but perhaps it started when the name "gypsy" was made unprofessional. However, this meant neither more nor less than the name of a ethnic group within Hungary, without any pejorative overtones. But they lied to him that he was condescending and even racist , and slowly they managed to make many people think he was.
Then came the rest. African-American instead of Negro (even though that word meant only designation and not discrimination, but it was blackened). Gay instead of homosexual (is his body temperature higher than average?), gender instead of woman and man, LGBTQ, parent of one and two instead of mother and father (fortunately, this has not yet gained civil rights in our country) and who knows what else?
Liberals are at the forefront of language murder. According to their latest brainchild, the term "womanhood" that is naturally used in our language is to be persecuted, it brings shame on them. Ádám Sermer chewed on this in Hír tv's Plusz-Mínusz broadcast , proving that this word is an expression of misogyny.
Lord God, what kind of insane sequel can we expect? Is the BLM-based dictionary coming to us? From tomorrow, the term cacao (and later cacao itself) will be persecuted because slaves once harvested cacao beans? Or will it be the same with coffee? If you could bear the printing ink, we could easily find truly unacceptable epithets for this ephemeral thinking.
"Professor of Linguistics" Sermer is as strict with conservative expressions as he is easily forgiving of insulting and distasteful people in his own ranks. After all, in his opinion, Gergely Karácsony making fun of the Prime Minister's physique is not stupidity, just an unfortunate use of words. Anyway, what are we grumbling about, Geri regretted it.
Then, of course, everything is fine. Enough to regret. It was enough that László Bíró also regretted the juda pest. Of course, when Zsolt Borkai regretted the derailment of his personal life, that regret didn't mean a damn. Because there are unforgivable conservative and always forgivable liberal derailments. See, this is how the term "forgiveness" gains a new meaning.
The goal is, of course, clear: shut up if you are a conservative, because your dictionary is full of terms to be persecuted, according to the liberal "geniuses". If you still dare to use them, they will attack you like a horde of rabid hyenas, even though you did nothing more than express yourself in Hungarian. Without any ulterior motives.
Well, that's enough! Who are they to dictate to me what words I can and cannot use? Why should I be obliged to adapt to their brain drains devoid of any normality? If they have a problem with the use of words, they should first look at their own ranks, because neither horse parts, nor rectal products, nor the use of rude expressions of sexuality can be included among cultured forms of contact.
And we should not listen to them, because if we do, their self-appointed language inquisitors will quickly fall under them under the pretext of using the correct language. And suddenly we realize that the nation no longer lives in its language, but fears in its language.
