One of the basic lessons of Sun-Tzu is to understand the enemy. Another of Sun-Tsu’s basic lessons is to understand oneself.

Twitter poster “John Of Argghh!” points out that many on the Right who act like they are still the dominant culture and can talk using terms and definitions they use and expect to appeal to a fundamentally transformed America.

We function in a Base-10 number system. It's why we can agree about math. . The Left has changed our language base. 1/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

So, it does no good to say "All Lives Matter" & marvel at the push back. The Left speaks base-Marxism and "Black Lives Matter" means, 2/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

"We're not going to tell you what it means b/c we're not giving you the language base key …& we'll change it if you guess it." 3/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

This is linguistic disenfranchisement. It's lowest form is goal-post moving. But it has evolved to denial of entrance into speech. 4/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

It's the mainstreaming of the NewSpeak, but unlike Orwell's vision, it is a tool for division. And your children speak this language now. 5/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

You are immigrants in your own culture now b/c you sent your children to public school, watched public TV, ingested the deconstruction 6/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

Like immigrants, your kids speak the new language & understand the culture far better than you, but you keep on with "Rah-bah-bah" 7/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

Millennials roll their eyes, plug in their earphones, & keep suckling at the substitute culture you've neglected them into. So… 8/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

So if you are going to speak to your new world, you had best learn its language. Bible translators have mastered this technique, btw 9/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

Direct push-back earns you nothing. You don't own the field of play any more so stop with the buggy-whips of reason. Persuasion rules. 10/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

BTW, "The Buggy-Whips of Reason" is a great title for the decline of Western Civ. Reason & logic require a base-reality for "logos", 11/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

The "logos" requires truth & reality. We no longer speak in this base-language, thanks to the persuaders. You keeps saying,"No speekee" 12/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

You keep demanding that your new country speak your language & you assume people are stupid, you write them off as savages. 13/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

Until reality kicks in, reason will be a foreign language to the new natives of our country. Elites are protected from ever learning it. 14/ — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017

Don't denigrate our Millennials; investigate their language & cheerfully translate to them your own. Reality will do what words cannot. / — Joan Of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) June 20, 2017
