JOSHUA LISEC and JACK POSOBIEC: The vocab of the ‘NPR Americans’ and the 2nd edition of Unhumans

In celebrating the Tuesday release of the second edition of their book, titled Unhumans: Socialist Revolution, host Jack Posobiec brought on co-author Joshua Lisec to break down one of their favorite new chapters added to the book, in which they reveal the vocabulary of the left.

Lisec said his favorite of the new chapters added was titled “The Vocabulary of the NPR Americans.” Posobiec said the chapter is best described as “the cheat sheet for if you go to read mainstream media, this actually decodes mainstream media. Or if you talk to someone or hear anyone using these terms, you can actually find who is out there that’s been brainwashed by mainstream media.”

Posobiec added, “you of course refer to them as NPR Americans. So those are people who get their news from like NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, et cetera, et cetera, and actually believe that it's completely true.”

Lisec said, “That's right. Yes, the NPR Americans are known for being what we call useful idiots. You know, they of course are wildly overeducated beyond their intelligence and their IQ level, and they learn these words that have sleight-of-hand definitions.”

“So, for example, when, as an example, when an NPR American uses the word neighbor, as in the biblical imperative to love your neighbor as yourself. When they use the word neighbor, what they actually mean is a non-white illegal immigrant.”

Another term was “narcissist.” Lisec said, “Amid all of the fifth-wave feminist nonsense we've been seeing across a number of stories over the past few weeks, we have another one, narcissist. Of course, we hear this levied against and labeled upon men all across our society. Well, the way that they use narcissist, a narcissist is very simply a right-wing man who tells a left-wing woman no.”

Other terms were “baby” and “fetus.” Lisec said, “You know, for example, another one would be very simply a baby. What is a baby? Well, it is it is certainly something that's post-birth. Okay. Well, what about when they say, fetus? Well, fetus is certainly not a baby, right? Unless they're referring to, you know, I'm a pregnant person. Can you come to my fetal shower?”

“That's the type of stilted language that you'd expect in academia. Yet that is what the vocabulary of the NPR Americans truly is, and we give you some code-breaking aspects to that, some definitions, the way that they use definitions. And of course, probably my favorite entry is the, is kind of a group entry for a teen, youth, jogger, and scholar.”

Posobiec chimed in with another definition written in the book, saying, “Conspiracy theory: any fact or narrative with compelling evidence that must be dismissed by the left or reframed as a positive development. Oh my gosh!”

Lisec replied with the definition of “gaslighting,” which is “to present sufficient evidence so as to persuasively make a right-wing case, and/or to reasonably disprove a left-wing assertion.”

Posobiec read out the definition of “extremist,” saying that it’s a “person with mainstream views from the 1990s,” and said that “fascism” means to the left, “a historical political category expanded into a moral exclusion label for contemporary actors who simply believe in law enforcement, enforcing the law.”

Posobiec says that these phrases outlined in the book “are going to come up every single time you talk to a liberal, one of your brainwashed neighbors, it's going to come up and you'll be able to point to it and say oh my gosh! That's exactly what I learned in Unhumans.”
