Trope

Post by Will Williams » Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:19 am

Lots of new words entering our lexicon, mostly from the Left or from the so-called alt-right. Personally, I'll not be using these clever new words when a word in standard English is better, less confusing. Is a trope a truism or is it a platitude? How can it be both? Or is it something to do with a Mass sung in the Middle Ages? :lol: Merriam-Webster has this to say about trope:

Trope - noun \ ˈtrōp \

Definition of trope
1a : a word or expression used in a figurative sense : FIGURE OF SPEECH
b : a common or overused theme or device : CLICH the usual horror movie tropes
2 : a phrase or verse added as an embellishment or interpolation to the sung parts of the Mass in the Middle Ages

Synonyms: banality, bromide, chestnut, cliché (also cliche), commonplace, groaner, homily, platitude, shibboleth, truism

It seems to me that presstitutes and their Jewish handlers like it for the smugness of rare intellect the word seems to confer (since few have it in their personal vocabularies) although their 'intellect' is rather overstated. The idea seems to be to deceive the rubes into thinking that Jewish thoughts, opinions, and whatever else they're yammering about will carry more weight by the clever use of this and other words.

If it seems useful to use the word, then I'd use it. One use is to point out the "tropes" Jews/their lackeys use to define us to their own followers. Words such as "hate," "white supremacist," and "nazi" come to mind here as words/concepts we do not identify ourselves as but they do in order to marginalize and then dehumanize us.

Now because I take a particular enjoyment in adding new words to my own vocabulary doesn't mean anyone else needs to do so. For those of us who want to assist in instilling a deep feeling of need and want for Whites to correct our path in life as a people and get on the conscious path to the Creator's purpose, I agree with you that it's best to use what you're comfortable with.
