The left is always coming up with new words or redefining the meaning of old words to make their progressive ideas more palatable to the American public. Freidrich Hayek called them weasel words. Words designed to deceive, not inform. One example of weasel words that Professor Hayek highlighted in his book, The Fatal Conceit, are the words “social justice,” which are intended to sound morally superior to regular justice. In this podcast, the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, investigates the claims of the moral superiority of social justice and also some of the newer weasel words and phrases being pushed by the left.
