Why The inception of ‘Democracy’ into the culture to replace ‘Republic’ matters

Trying to solve the problem of the conquest of Western Civilization can be tricky as it was done more by subversion than force of arms. This means that the people being conquered accept the terms, definitions and concepts the enemies of Western Civilization in place of their own. They have in fact, replaced enemy concepts with the ones that actually define our individualist and equal rights culture and polities.
Amazingly, there is no specific term to describe this process in English. Trying to drill down to use one, we get a few near misses:

Conceptual subversion
Lexical subversion
Semantic corruption
Ideological substitution
Semantic Implantation

I think it is time for another movie reference.

In the film, Inception (2010) the core concept was that people who owned equipment that allowed the user to enter the dreams of a target would then implant an idea which the target would believe was of their own creation.

Although this isn’t a perfect fit, for the moment let’s call this process, cultural-inception. Incepting an entire culture with a terminology which damages the target culture and advantages the attacking culture.

One of the main terms was the substitution of the word and concept of a Republic with the word and concept (more or less) “democracy”.

This was so well done that when you bring it up in most cases you get a lot of frustrated pushback.

People will feel you are being unnecessarily pedantic in your language. Or take it personally that you are deconstructing terms with which they are comfortable. You will see and feel people’s irritation with you.

But this particular Culturally-incepted switcheroo really does matter.

First, another excellent video from Counter-spell on this subject:

Now examples of how people’s belief that they live in a Democracy, a self fulfilling and destructive belief for that matter, are legion. We see a constant stream of evidences where the Republic with its foundational concepts such as freedom of speech and equality before the law, is deconstructed by democracy. Concepts such as equality before the law are dialectically negated with terms like “Equity”, which is opposite to equality. In fact it is systemic inequality.

Online Harms replaces freedom of speech. The list grows weekly.

Here is just one recent example. The end of the equal system of food safety and anti-animal cruelty laws in America to advantage Muslims, and advance Halal slaughter and the religious practices of Muslims to supersede secular slaughter and animal cruelty laws. And of course, this will not be an isolated example of sharia law replacing rule of law. This is just one bubo indicating the black plague infection of the culture by leftism and Islam.

In a real way this is a trivial example of the process. Most legislative changes as a result of narrative attacks on Western republics, (and as Stephen Coughlin has pointed out, pretty much all Western nations post WW2 are republics or approximate one) are more serious transformational events. But this one is simple, visible, and as you can see in this video, even some on the woke-left object to it.

It is also interesting that the news report point out that some Muslims even object. This is the reporter using what we have come to know as the Oscar Schindler effect. because one or some small number of people went against their own identity group for the sake of values we understand and like, it somehow exonerates the ideology that necessitated the resistance.

In fact: Schindler was a good person but a bad Nazi.

Self identified Muslims who object to the dismantling of Western Civilization for purposes of Global-Islamic manifest destiny are likewise, bad Muslims, but good people.

We must remember that a free nation that values equality before the law and individualism as existent, is a republic and that the shift to democracy is the death knell of all we value. It must be fought.
