"the invention of new terms for non-new concepts should always arouse suspicion. You're being manipulated, and language is being used as a weapon."

100%. It's a sure sign that academia has infused itself into the debate which pretty much ensures that post-modernism can't be far behind.

There are an awful lot of words in the English language. They're well understood and versatile enough to handle any situation. We don't need to redefine them or enforce new ones by diktat.

I don't mind language changing organically, but when there's any sense that I can't use ordinary words the way I choose, that sets off alarm bells.
