To me Liberals are Progressives who weren’t given the second half of the playbook which was always extremely Pharisaical.

Today’s Progressives are the socialists that were always at the head of the movement. Liberals were simply used by Progressives to tear down so that their religion could be put in its place.

That is why so many Liberals are disillusioned today. They never saw the whole picture of the movement and how they were being used.

In my opinion.

My new curiosity is “the play book”

Cannot ‘buzzword’ in the context that you have used it also be considered ‘a buzzword’? The word ‘playbook’ is a euphemism. To call it a buzzword is to be derogatory and dismissive before discussion.

The terms Liberal and Pharisee were introduced immediately before me. I have only added the term Progressive which is less a buzzword than a descriptor.

I will also add another descriptor here now (socialism) since the heading of the thread is talking about a “battle of good and evil” it is important to describe where these forces are manifest.

There has been a strong socialist presence in universities that have laid the groundwork to change minds. First student attitudes and then eventually society at large.

Creating useful idiots (as they are described) to sow division in western societies under a victim culture that aims at destroying society from within (Progressive) under the cover of equality and tolerance (for less clued in Liberals).

Defund the police for example. Open borders and let anyone in for example. Releasing prisoners for example. The never ending taxing of people to fund a sympathetic deep state for example. The removal of Christianity from the public square and mechanisms of government for example. Defining, redefining and promoting new concepts and words to create division for example. (buzzwords if you like).

The breakdown of the last week is just the inevitable outcome of sowed divisions.

Liberals were always told that changes were for correcting a fallen society and making a fairer and gentler community. Even now for the call of a more fairer and gentler community policing.

Progressives always knew that this was a stepping stone for weakening and abolishing western Christian, democratic and capitalist society and creating a Pharisaical like one under the precepts of socialism.

That is in very blunt terms, the playbook.

For my lot, buzz word just means popular word, one that is being used a lot in the media, something that will probably enter the dictionary as a new word to mean a new thing
Buzz word is in no way derogatory of a word, sorry you took it that way.
I am wondering if the origin of 'playbook ’ is a football reference

How can something so accurate be derogatory. You post made no coherent argument. You just repeated the same thing using different rhetoric from the far right media to pad a simply unusual claim with sound and fury.

An no one that uses as many derogatory words as you used have a ground to strain a gnat like “derogatory.”

The complaint was less about the derogatory nature pnewton and more about the pithy comment that was made to be dismissive. It appears you have misunderstood the motive.

My thinking was that although the use of the word was derogatory, it was made with no attempt at discussion. OurLadyofSorrows apologised but said i misunderstood her and i accept that.

I do discuss.

You are upset because i have criticised Liberalism and you consider yourself a Liberal. I get that.

Inaccurately saying i am simply repeating …,. what was it …,. oh yes …, far right media, is to dismiss the argument as my interpretation of the phrase ‘buzzword’. It adds nothing to the discussion except to be derogatory in a way that shuts down conversation.

We must be in different worlds. The term buzzword is one freqently in use in popular culture. These words can get adopted into the dictionary with new meanings.
With the advent of visual immediate social media buzz gestures are seeing good use too. Viral words and gestures.

I first heard the buzzword ‘playbook’ a few months ago with the pandemic and that never to see the light of day ’ what to do in a pandemic’ document.
Other pandemic buzz sayings include
‘flatten the curve’

To me the use of the term ‘buzzword’ can be used in a derogatory sense to frame someone as not having an underlying argument but just repeating popular words that they have heard somewhere else.

Similar to pnewton’s charge of simply repeating words from “far right” media.

I am sure we do live in somewhat different environments.

If i misinterpreted then i also apologise.

In my world , I will quote Gordon Ramsey when grilling contestants on Masterchef USA
a term similar to his firm use of the word ‘bollocks’ would be used when pointing out to someone their argument about why the chicken is raw, has no substance.
Do you watch Masterchef? Gordon Ramsey is a master at exposing and shutting down that type of discourse.

It is so tempting just to answer some CAF threads with an English accented ‘bollocks’ 👍

I forget we are from different regions and countries in this global community when I use words others may find insulting. Apologies again.

LOL! After that statement I have zero confidence in your discernment of motives.

Only many years ago in another country. Cooking does interest me but i suspect if i was in one of his programs i’d be hearing the ‘bollocks’ phrase being directed quite often at my culinary attempts.

It seems to me that calling people names is counter productive, especially when it could reasonably be surmised that the name is being used in a less than complimentary manner.

Left wing, right wing, liberal, conservative, baby boomer, lmillennium, etc. Often these are used to designate someone as being other and therefore less than the speaker/writer.

I am not accusing people here of that, but you definitely see it on the radio and TV talking shows.
