RE: Politically Incorrect with Schattenjaeger #1: Discrimination is a Human Right
The first definition of the word DISCRIMINATION is ***politically 'correct'. ***
'Unjust or prejudicial' by whom's standard? It is also a false definition, a manipulation in and of itself.
The second definition is correct: to differentiate.
Any time a ambiguous definition is given, it is done so for the purpose of controlling meanings by actors that have no natural power to control otherwise.
In other words, changing the definition of a term is a usurped power tool. Words are more powerful than the sword - and the powers that should not be are masters in language, and thus people manipulation.
We are all different. Women differ from men. Cultures differ. Political views do. What does not differ, and what should never be compromised are principles of morality and honesty.

Yes, it's not talked about much, but language is a very powerful manipulation tool. It's worth taking notice of that words in political debates and whatnot are usually used based on their connotation, rather than their actual definitions. Words such as fascist, nazi, etc. Racist. These words have strong, negative connotations, and that's why they're powerful, and thus heavily used.
It's not often that people bother to look up definitions.
It's all about the emotion that the words elicit.
Indeed. If one takes words apart, such as NAZI, one arrives at National Socialist. Not many Liberals like that.
In the case of Liberals, the word has simply been stolen from those who stand for liberty. Liberals are taking liberties and granting themselves rights that they like to deny others. Free Speech comes to mind.
As Brigitte Gabriel said:
This also applies to symbols, which are the depiction of words. Probably a good subject for another part of the discussion.
The fight will not be won with violence. It will be won with removing the notion from common understanding that Political Correctness is beneficial to society,
This does not mean we should demean people to hurt them. However, it is no ones' right to be protected from (hurt) feelings. That very notion is ludicrous - and demanding it is a sign of collective mental disorder, as Michael Savage recognizes.
Furthermore, as Carol Quigly in his major work Tragedy and Hope in chapter one notes, and I paraphrase:
... we are seeing an increase in collective mental deficiencies being pushed as a new norm for all.
Love that subject - because it is THE most potent weapon that we can reclaim without shedding blood.
The redefinition of words, in particular, is a strong tool for the regressive left now.
A few years ago, the two definitions of discrimination you cited would have been reversed.
