@aptitude@mastodon.social @anolandria@mastodon.social I think a valid grant proposal could be written to study how semantic values are different in various political environments. There has long been development on the Right, across countries, to weaponize language. They have had some of the best memeticists and semantic linguists on the payroll for as long as I’ve been alive, and I’m an Old. Witness, for example, “Right To Life”, an absolutely brilliant bit of psyop. Fucking brilliant. The Right Wing has always had the capital to create PR.
