Dysphemism

is my word of the day for today.

Where a euphemism replaces a word
that is recognised as rude and awkward
with another that is more pleasant,
more acceptable for common use,
and more decorous where decorum matters,
a dysphemism replaces a neutral expression
with one that provokes dislike, and a negative reaction. 

Thus 'the civil service' becomes 'the deep state',
'public money' becomes 'taxpayer's money',
where the richest people who claim to pay tax
award themselves the biggest say in what money
that is put into the public purse should be spent on,
when in reality the wealthiest of the population,
from royalty downwards, have always been the best
at salting their money away is secretive locations
and disguising how they live off other people's means.

I could give further examples but I will not.
Suffice to say that this agenda of sowing lies
and hostility into everyday life is one that is
going to run, run again, and run until even 
the most naturally able to resist being subject
to the hostility they sow will be unable to hide
from the storm of malcontent they have fomented
-particularly when the storm gets aimed at them
when they meant it to be aimed at poorer people
who generally are less able to withstand accusation.
