Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle blue jeans ad has proven to be a ‘jean therapy’ against the WOKE virus. But is it a cure?
The literally insane reactions to the ad by a myriad of women saying that they are objecting to ‘eugenics’ was both laughable and tragic. Calling upon vague and contrived associations with Hitler, their objections were justified using terms and arguments like the following:
“Sweeney has great genes; she’s a Nazi; she’s fascist; she’s a racist; she owns a German shepherd as her dog whistle; her initials spell ‘SS’; she has white skin, blue eyes and blue jeans; American Eagle is promoting fascist propaganda, Christian nationalism and white supremacy; Sweeney is Hitler’s wet dream; cotton jeans are racist; American Eagle is reviving the Third Reich; Sweeney represents white supremacist patriarchy capitalistic beauty standards; the ads portray fascist aesthetics; the script is bigoted BS,” and much much more.
These claims are so stupid and outrageous that they have drawn the attention of millions who are utterly amazed that such irrationality is possible in so many people all spouting the same script at the same time.
While much of the reaction can be attributed to jealousy and envy, the consistent and repetitive reference to ‘eugenics’ is telling. It both reveals projection on their part, as well as an attempt to hide the Left’s exclusive claim to pushing eugenics throughout history. To say nothing of the fact that fascism itself is an ideology of the Left.
So with all the associative ‘jeans/genes’ word play, why haven’t the recent Covid ‘gene therapy’ injections been part of the controversy? Where were all the ‘anti-eugenics’ Lefties during an experiment pushing injected ‘gene therapies’ fraudulently misrepresented as vaccines? Not once did any of them cite how these experiments were consistent with Nazi fascist eugenics.
With the now widely exposed absurd reactions of the Left to Sydney Sweeney’s appearance in a simple blue jeans ad, many are asking how things could have gotten so bad without their noticing.
Explains economist Thomas Sowell: “The Left have mastered the art of verbal sleight of hand, twisting language to obscure truth, evade reason, and impose itself on a society too distracted to notice.”
The sad fact is that the women objecting to the ads are using the “Marxist language of fools,” as author Isabel Paterson described it. The terms and phrases being used are non sequiturs and meaningless. They do not operate on definitions that correspond to reality.
As Sowell cautioned: “Words are not neutral; they shape perception. By re-defining words you can re-define the debate itself.”
What the Sydney Sweeney controversy has exposed is the Left’s fundamental hatred of “the good for being the good.” It has also exposed a weakness on the part of the Right.
“The Left’s verbal sleight of hand thrives because too few challenge it; we accept their terms without questioning,” explains Sowell. “If we let others define them for us, we surrender our ability to reason.”
This is where the Right has failed. In the game of ‘define or be defined,’ the Right has continually allowed the Left to define all the key political terms – even to the point of allowing the Left to invent a political ‘spectrum’ that places Communism on the Left and Leftist Fascism on the Right, where freedom properly belongs.
It’s time those on the Right got into the definition game. Until more do, the Left’s ‘verbal sleight of hand’ will continue to thrive, while knowledge of what is Just Right will continue to elude both those on the Left and Right alike.
