In “Substitution of Terms” S01E02: The misuse of “liberalism” and “liberals.” Words once meaning individual freedom & limited government now fuel name-calling: woke, libtards. Who flipped the script? Ronald Reagan warned in 1964 & 1975: Big-government “progress” can mask authoritarian overreach. We trace the hijack—from classical liberalism (Locke, Smith, Founders) to FDR’s New Deal statism, Cold War subversion (Yuri Bezmenov 1984), Soros-funded activism, and DSA socialism.The irony? “Libtard” (2000s internet slur) mocks “naive liberals,” while “fascist” gets thrown at freedom defenders—yet real power grabs use violence, censorship, & control disguised as compassion. Don’t get manipulated. Reclaim precise language & expose hypocrisy with history & critical thinking.What do you think—tables turned on liberty? Comment below!
