Guest Post by The Zman
A couple of months ago this post generated a ton of traffic and ton of suggestions for entries. It seems like a worthy project, as our Prog rulers keep coming up with new words and phrases to fool us and themselves. In the fullness of time, someone is going to write a book on how marketing techniques infiltrated the minds of our rulers, like a virus, causing them to increasingly rely on cheap marketing gags to communicate to themselves and the rest of us. The result being a ruling elite that sounds like commercials for laundry soap.
With that in mind, here are some new additions to the list.
Show your support: This is always a demand from a company or organization for you to buy their stuff so they can spend the proceeds on themselves, while taking credit for some good deed. Currently, retail chains are having their cashiers harass customers into giving money to the Red Cross for hurricane relief in Houston. The end result will be a photo-op of the executives posing with the Red Cross, handing them a big check, so they can claim to be supporting the community.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Inclusivity: The rallying cry of modern terrorism. Every organization that is about to be assaulted by tackle-faced social justice warriors gets a committee on inclusivity. This a place where lunatics plot to destroy the organization. Google started one of these and is now in free fall. Node.js is the most recent to be attacked by the ISIS of the West.
Affirming: Lesbians and middle-aged cat ladies are riddled with self-doubt, because they chose a lifestyle that is at odds with human biology. This leads them to create organizations, usually within other organizations, that are designed to tell them that they made the right choice, even if nature says otherwise. Protestant churches have all become affirming as they embrace every anti-Christian lunacy.
Brave: The Progressive religion is built around the concept of the struggle. Prog loonies all imagine themselves as paladins fighting the monster called fascism. Therefore, anyone who sallies forth into the public square to preach the good word is called brave. The irony is that it is totally safe. Antifa is called brave, while the people they are beating with clubs are called cowards.
That’s not who we are: This is one of those phrases that is not intended for the wider audience. It’s almost always said by a so-called Conservative in reaction to something normal people are doing. The person saying it is trying to signal to The Hive that they are not associated with the bad thing in question. When Paul Ryan says to his voters, “This is not who we are” he literally means he is not one of the dirt people in his district.
Send a message: This is another code word that people in The Hive use in public, but it is not intended for the public. When a politicians talks about “sending a message” he means to signal his virtue to the rest of The Hive. The message to the rest of us, if any, is that the person saying it should probably be hurled into the ocean before she gets us killed.
Problematic: This is a favorite of Prog loonies. It means the speech or act in question could be ruled heretical. The problem is they lack the words to condemn it and an easy escape route to run away from it.
Troubling: This is the same as problematic.
Vibrant: This is a favorite term to mean no white people. A neighborhood is vibrant when it is full of boarded up houses and gang-bangers with pit bulls.
Sustainable: This is one of those words that should be included in the humor section, but the people who coined it have no sense of humor. Anything that is labeled “sustainable’ is always something that is not sustainable. Alternatively, it may be sustainable, like organic farming, but will require a great die off of humans. Whenever you hear this word, assume the person using it fantasizes about putting you in an oven.
Accepted: This is when some outlier or fringe population forces the majority to forgo its own preferences for those of the outlier or fringe population.
Passion: This is what happens to Progressive white women in the modern era. They are suddenly gripped with passion. Like Hitler, whose passion for killing Jews was all consuming, passionate women are obsessed with killing erections. Passionate women are always wildly unattractive and ear-piercingly obnoxious.
Growth: This is always used in economic debates to signal that something is good for rich people. A pro-growth policy is one that allows the rich to hoover up more money from the middle-class. When pundits accuse a politician of promoting polices that will hurt growth, it means the billionaire who owns the pundit is vexed with the politician.
Toxic: Any argument or fact that can be screamed away, because it is obviously true, is called toxic. The users of this word believe that the magic of their incantations will make the dis-confirming thing go away. Normal men being normal in public, for example, is branded as “toxic masculinity.” White people not robbing liquor stores or shooting one another over sneakers is “toxic racism.”
Sharable: This describes something that appears to be free, but is used by the true owner to harm others or steal their property. Progs call doxxing, for example, a sharable strategy. Tech companies like sharable technology because it means they get to install their spyware on your phone or computer.
Dialogue: This is when a Prog loony screams at you and you sit and take it. You’re having a dialogue! If you refuse to put up with the lecture, then you are being divisive and polarizing, which is both troubling and problematic. It means you could be suffering from toxic racism.
“Alternatively, it may be sustainable, like organic farming, but will require a great die off of humans.”
Falsehood. I respect Zman and find his writing to be thought provoking, but this cannard is one coined by the very same people he mocks.
Read what your own government has to say about foods produced using traditional methods versus industrial agriculture-
“…the equally widespread belief that organic is healthier due to the absence of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. These beliefs are remarkably persistent, despite strong scientific evidence which refutes them. That natural necessarily equals more safe than artificial is a fallacy.”
You see it is far more healthy for you and your offspring to eat foods treated with pesticides and herbicides than to eat foods that have not been similarly treated. The reasoning behind this is that in order to “feed the world” traditional agrarian practices (which ironically feeds the vast majority of the world today) are less likely to produce the quantities required to accommodate an ever expanding human population.
False.
Acres USA and the Dietrich Institute have been doing side by side studies of the two styles of farming for over half a century and have found that there is absolutely zero difference in yields while traditional methods build soil, prevent erosion and runoff and leave no residues in the soil as opposed to progressive farming techniques. During periods of extreme weather the crop yields of Industrial style farming practices drop off considerably and more importantly newer pesticide and herbicide resistant strains develop in reaction to those applications and often wipe out entire crops because of their inability to defend against them without the benefit of herbicides and pesticides. Now all that’s left is the health benefits of eating poisons that kill plants and insects, but according to our government (who promotes and subsidizes progressive Industrial Agriculture) is actually better for you than not eating them.
Joel Salatin is a good resource on sustainable farming practices as well.
The book “The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals” by Michael Pollan is a hell of a good read. There is one section in particular which describes a nearly perfect sustainable farm.
HS. Any plant uptakes nutrients in an inorganic state. The inorganic mineral moves with the water that is absorbed by the plant. All organic fertilizers, such as manures have to break down to their inorganic state to be used by the plant. Commercial fertilizers are a more concentrated product and a quicker, easier and available way to provide nutrients to crops. Even if farming organically, nutrients have to be brought in from outside the farm. When you harvest and sell the crop, or feed the forage to cattle, which are then sold, the nutrients from your soil leave the farm with them. It is possible to use deep rooted crops to bring up nutrients from below the plow layer and provide addition nutrients, but this does not bring replacement nutrients to the farm and the soil will eventually be depleted. Sustainable is only sustainable if you never sell anything that leaves the farm. To be sustainable long term, even household waste, including human waste needs to be returned to your soil where it can be reused. Or, you can bring in organic approved fertilizer from outside the farm. Your maple syrup business even exports minerals from your land. Organic fertilizers can be brought in from outside the farm, but where are you going to find them? There are 470 million acres cultivated in the U.S. at present. Where will all the organic approved minerals come from? Fish waste? Seaweed? Human waste? Organic may be preferable, but is it even feasible?
A big problem with modern farming practices is that the soil has been depleted of the trace elements. These are not typically replaced by the N-P-K, organic or not, that we fertilize crops with. Some of these trace elements are not needed by the plants themselves but needed by the soil microbes which in turn benefit the plants. Some are needed by the plants and more still are needed by the humans that consume the plants. Think molybdenum, cobalt, arsenic and others.
You can add rock dust to your home gardens but replacing trace elements on industrial scales is likely too expensive.
I think that you missed the point. Sustainable is a real word, like all of the others, the problem is that the people using them now have no idea what the meaning of the word is, and that when someone uses one of these words in the modern era, the real meaning is as he described, because of who is using it.
Protestants churches are becoming more accommodating of every kind of Depravity imaginable.Most never mention Sin as the main problem infecting mankind.Evil as its by product.The DEVIL as the Author and Father.
What say you Mad Dog ? Are you able to see sin and evil in your own heart?.To see it in the world system.?To know it is in the very air we breathe.? Or are you just a good decent person minding your own business?
When I read “that’s not who we are”, I immediately thought of Paul Ryan even before Z-Man referenced him. I can’t think of anyone I hate more than Paul Ryan. Put all the bathroom-invading trannies, MS-13 and Antifa members together and I’d still hate Paul Ryan more. The quintessential cuck. It may be illegal to say that I wish someone would shoot him through the temple with a hunting arrow, so I’ll just say that I wish he’d slip during one of his P90-X sessions, fall into a malfunctioning hot tub and get electrocuted to death. And I’m going to give myself a big fucking thumbs up on that one – because the very name Paul Ryan gets me all fucken agitated.
MAGA: A phrase that doesn’t really mean anything. Yet, it drives about half the country bat shit fucken crazy. As such, normal people should put MAGA stickers on everything they own, buy MAGA baseball caps and tee shirts and socks and underwear and suits, and Ford should come out with a MAGA automobile (still runs like shit, but boy is she purdy!).
Another great piece from the Zman. His prodigious output is unmatched on the web.
A point about the farming comments here: be careful who you listen to on the topic. Farming, like everything else in the modern world, has improved greatly to the benefit of all. Just as none of us would want to visit a dentist or undergo surgery in a 1950’s era hospital, returning to old practices in farming is not as idyllic as it sounds. Old-timers like my dad who grew small-eared corn knew of the struggle. There’s plenty of legitimate criticism that should be directed towards Monsanto et al, but not everything is a conspiracy.
While I admire HSF, I don’t believe he’s farmed long enough to justify his strong opinions. I remember that he once said that he paid cash for his farm. That, alone, puts him in an entirely different economic realm from most farmers. Thus his skewed ‘take’ in my opinion. And certainly, mailing heavy jugs of exorbitantly priced maple syrup across North America isn’t exactly a model of sustainability.
There are many different perspectives out there. Make sure you hear from a wide spectrum before you let the concrete set.
Disclosure: my son now runs the farm and has forsaken row-crops for hay and pasture ground. Financially, so far so good.
