The weaponisation of language has existed throughout the ages and has been practiced by rulers stretching the width and breadth of the world.

During the 1990s, the territory of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was the scene for one of the most appalling cases in history concerning the weaponisation of language, in which the Western ruling elites - the malign forces which rule the West - made the word “Serb” synonymous with genocide, ethnic cleansing, and rape. The elites did this in order to justify to the world their anti-Serb policy, which was a cover for the subjugation and colonisation of the territory of the former Yugoslavia by the elites. Even today, three decades on from the wars in the former Yugoslavia, the word “Serb” evokes dark images in the minds of some people in the world, serving as a testament to the cancerous nature of the elites’ principal mouthpiece - mainstream media.

However, since the early 2000s, the weaponisation of “Serb” has been surpassed in lethality by the elites’ weaponisation of the words “racist” and “racism”.

In the Western world, the elites have weaponised “racist” and “racism” so as to pave the way for achieving what would have once been considered unthinkable: the dismantlement of the West and with it the destruction of Western civilisation.

Throughout the Western world - from North America to Europe to Australasia - every institution and facet of life has been infected by the elites with the words “racist” and “racism”. Given that the elites are attempting to demolish Western societies by way of imposing on Western nations multi-culturalism and immigration, the elites are able to maintain their diabolical endeavour by instructing their minions, such as politicians, mainstream journalists, and celebrities, to label anyone who opposes multi-culturalism and immigration as “racist”, along with describing their actions as constituting “racism”.

Consequently, a life of hell awaits any person in the West who is tagged with the words “racist” and “racism”. From being brutally targeted on social media, losing their jobs, being denied the opportunity to work in areas which they are trained in, being arrested and sent to prison to receiving death threats, any man or woman who defies the agenda of the elites has their life ruined. Indeed, the elites have created - via their useful idiots, especially politicians and mainstream journalists - an extremely dangerous environment for people who simply defend their race and culture. A crime against humanity, no less.

In essence, the price for a Westerner defending their people and heritage in their own country is a harrowing one.

So successful has the weaponisation of “racist” and “racism” been that this case of weaponising words is unrivaled in history. And the application of both words has produced results which few people, if any, would have thought possible only a few years ago. Western societies have been turned upside down and, consequently, face oblivion - and all without a shot having been fired. Today, the West is unrecognisable. A visit to London or Brussels or Malmo or Berlin or Athens or Sydney, for instance, is a testament to how whites are being ethnically replaced and their cultures eradicated as a result of the elites’ imposition of multi-culturalism and immigration. And fear on the part of the natives of being associated with the words “racist” and “racism” has to a large extent enabled this. It is extraordinary and unprecedented. Suffice to say, the elites project “racism” as being worse than murder, paedophilia, and rape (rather interestingly, the elites have begun the process of normalising paedophilia by renaming paedophiles as “minor-attracted persons”).

It is important to note that considerable numbers of Westerners have embraced the weaponisation of “racist” and “racism”, reveling with the knowledge that their fellow man and woman could become extinct partly as a consequence of the elites’ application of these words in Western countries. Some of these people have been brainwashed into hating themselves by, for example, the anti-white education system in the West, while others are mentally unwell. Some are just naive, ignorant, and plain stupid. Further, whilst they purport to be “compassionate” and “peaceful”, it never dawns on them that imposing multi-culturalism and immigration on a people is an act of hate and an act of racism as it means eradicating a people’s culture and the people themselves. In addition to that, such individuals are oblivious to the malevolent nature of the forces which are orchestrating ethnocide and replacement in the West. Frankly speaking, they lack the intellectual capacity to grasp the situation, not realising that they are dancing with death by embracing the agenda of the elites.

The weaponisation of language was not conceived by the Western ruling elites; however, they have mastered this dark art unlike anyone before them. So devastating is the elites’ weaponisation of “racist” and “racism” that these words could achieve what the Persians and the Ottomans failed to accomplish: the destruction of the Western world and Western civilisation. What the Spartan soldier and the Austrian soldier - who guarded the West from the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire in 480 BC and in 1683 AD respectively - would make of how the West today has almost been brought to its knees by mere words, God only knows.
