Continuing our series on the manipulation of language, I'm looking at the intentional twisting of the word slander. This has been on my list for months to talk about.

More and more, (shockingly, even in the Christian sphere) people are calling any public criticism “slander”—not because it’s false, but because it’s uncomfortable.

In this episode, we examine how the term slander is being twisted into a weapon, often by cowards who want to deflect from their own bad behavior, validate their victimhood, destroy their opponents, and avoid the responsibility of actually dealing with criticism.

We’ll explore:

How people often inappropriately weaponize the word slander.

The difference between actual slander and legitimate critique

A personal example of someone accusing me of slander, and why it completely backfires.

And how to equip yourself to never be a slanderer, and deal with dishonest slander accusations.

Sharing some thoughts about the White/Mahler debate last night including how formal debates are structured, the arguments that were expressed, and if they were good or bad.

Jordan Peterson got some attention recently because of some comments about psychopaths and people exhibiting Cluster B and Dark Tetrad traits infiltrating the Right. There is a rising acceptance, and even glorification, of negative traits like narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism among many supposed Right-Wing influencers. I discuss his recent statement, as well as some of his past statements on social contagion.

If you're concerned about good things being twisted, manipulation disguised as strategy, or the slow drift away from Biblical truth, this conversation will help equip you.
