The Origin of DEI Words | E5 - The Marxist War On Words

Language shapes culture — and culture shapes nations. In this episode, we uncover how radical ideologues redefined everyday words to shift values, silence dissent, and reshape the American mind. From Antonio Gramsci’s cultural hegemony, to Orwell’s warning in 1984, to modern “woke-speak” in schools, corporations, and media — this is the story of how words became weapons.

We’ll show how “equity” replaced equality, how “birthing people” replaced mothers, and how cancel culture silences anyone who refuses to comply. More than a battle of semantics, this is psychological warfare aimed at dismantling America’s foundations.

But there’s hope. We close this episode by showing how to fight back — by reclaiming words, courage, and culture.
