Loaded Words: Stephen Chavura and Nick Cater

Stephen Chavura joins Nick Cater to defuse the loaded language of the anointed, starting with the terms “left” and “right”.

As Thomas Sowell observed, while it is relatively easy to define what it means to be “on the left”, the term “right wing” seems little more than a label used by the anointed to condemn those with him they disagree.

“Those who oppose the left are said to be on the right — and when they are strongly opposed, or opposed across a broad spectrum of issues, they are said to be on the “far right,” writes Sowell.

Dr. Stephen Chavura teaches European and Australian history at Campion College.

Nick Cater is Executive Director at the Menzies Research Centre
