It Could Be...

     There are no shortages of terminology when you don’t need them. Yet, it has ALWAYS been apparent to me, when it comes to subtlety or shades of meaning between similar occurrences, ideas and/or concepts - their nature, implementation or needs of sanction can be worlds apart. The danger here should be implicit - yet is often absorbed into the negative space, itself, of a vocabulary so lacking. Often, these gaps between meanings and definitions, like the difference between say the theory and practice of Magick - can be used to an advantage, yet most often nefariously so. And for that example, we need step no further than the arena of our current day politics and the cry of ‘Socialism’ as a sham and shamefully misappropriated scare tactic. The false or incomplete idea of a thing once set in the mind of a population, will regardless of its practical purpose, occult ALL aspects of its functionality. And then the very word representing that thing, itself, is radically or reluctantly orphaned from its parent vocabulary to be adopted by its new set of abusive and self serving guardians. 

   And as this, shall we say, semantic insurgence, presses onward, it’s not always at the hands of an active aggressor. There are passively evasive means by which insufficient, misaligned or mismatched vocabularies can limit and distort thereby altering the purpose, effeteness, or inherent substantive value of important and distinguishable concerns.
